This one's for the aspiring entrepreneurs, business leaders, and curious minds. Steven Bartlett, the highly influential host of the popular podcast 'The Diary of a CEO', will be touring Asia for the first time ever. 

Steven is a guy you want to get entrepreneurship advice from, for sure. Raised in Botswana, he founded two companies by the age of 22 – one being Social Chain, a social media marketing agency that achieved significant success with clients such as Apple, KFC, and McDonald's. These ventures made him a millionaire by the tender age of 23. 

Most prominently, he's the host of 'The Diary of a CEO', an ongoing podcast where he picks the brains of celebrities and business leaders such as Sir Richard Branson, Michelle Obama and Simon Cowell. Intimate, entertaining, and always insightful, the podcast has garnered over 40 million monthly downloads and 1 billion streams. These nuggets of wisdom have been conveniently condensed into his second book, the Sunday Times bestseller 'The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws for Business & Life'. 

Steven has fingers in almost every pie, with more businesses founded in the media, software, and finance spaces, and key investments in the health and wellness industries. He is also empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs through action and advocacy, with a focus on uplifting individuals from BAME and underprivileged backgrounds. 

Inspired yet? Well, you can catch him in September 2025, when he travels to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bali, and Jakarta for his The Business & Life Speaking Tour, presented by Curious. There's potential for these shows to be seriously life-changing: Steven will share a practical roadmap to success as an entrepreneur, drawing from science-backed research, personal experience, and lessons learned from his many interviews with successful global figures. You can expect actionable steps to transform your mindset, build sustainable ventures, cultivate leadership qualities, and develop strategies for lasting personal growth and success.
