ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Photograph by Rick Jones, May 2019
Steven Bartlett is the 28-year-old founder of the social
media marketing agency, Social Chain. From a bedroom in
Manchester, this university drop-out built what would
become one of the world’s most influential social media
companies when he was just 21-years-old, before taking his
company public at 27 with a market valuation of almost
£200m.
He was born in a village in Botswana, Africa and grew up
as a young black man in an all-white area in the southwest
of England. He never had money or good grades, but he did
have an unshakeable sense of self-belief and a remarkably
unconventional perspective on the world.
Steven is widely considered one of Europe’s most talented
and accomplished young entrepreneurs and philosophical
thinkers.
His podcast The Diary Of A CEO has become one of the top
lifestyle, business and mindset podcasts in Europe and
Steven has accumulated over 2 million followers online.
