    Thanks Steven and DCEO team - I learned a lot from our conversation about psychology and how we can improve our own channel. You’re an easy man to talk to and your success is well deserved. It’s clear independent media is a necessity in our rapidly changing world if we are to ensure balanced reporting. Although the bit where I nearly cried should be censored.

    Russel Brand verbalizes thoughts better than anyone I’ve ever heard. That is a valuable talent.

    This is the best Russel Brand interview I’ve seen yet. I’ve watched a lot and this is him being real, self aware and open at his finest.

    This guy, I didn't used to take seriously, but nowadays he has become an inspiration. He gets it. Loneliness is one of the root causes of addiction. This world is fkd up and we need to restore the family model, real connections, real intimacy

    "We are not competing with perfection we are competing with corruption." Great words to think about.

    RB’s vocabulary always amazes me. He is a spoken word poet.

    No Words, just wow! Thank you so much for hosting Russell Brand! I'm not saying anything profound here, I'm mainly commenting to help the algorithm! I ALWAYS learn so much watching your podcasts. Sending prayers and love/light

    Russell is one of the few profoundly wise voices of our generation. So thankful that he gave himself a chance at life, resulting in who he has become, and that he shares himself with us.

    You might be one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. The way you're able to tap into people's truth, take away their shields and make them feel safe enough to be vulnerable is a testament to your high level of compassion interest and empathy. You remove ego from people due to the nature of their success, probably live through ego often. You have a gift, and I'm glad you use your gift this way.

    What hit me with this interview was how much calmer Russel is.

    Steven, it is so refreshing to listen to an interview where the interviewer actually let's the interviewee talk. No unnecessary interruptions, you really listen to what the person in front of you has to say. It's so rare these days. Along with your own experiences and open mindset, it always makes for a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable experience for the listener. So well done and thank you! 😊

    As a technical instructor of over 4o years, I am genuinely and sincerely impressed with Russel Brand’s ability to speak at such a level that points to an intellect that retains complete control of his thoughts while extracting the proper terminology to convey his thoughts orally. A truly magnificent mind. A great, superior guest! Thank you.

    Russell is a legend in my eyes. He has come from the bottom and raised himself he is selfless. I’ll never forget what he done for the mothers in East London. He stood by them and fought for them to stay in their area instead of being moved away from family support by Newham council. Russell I thank you from my heart and soul. May God always walk by your side ❤️💛💚🙏🏼
