Steven Bartlett BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Steven Bartlett has been everywhere this week and as always at the center of the digital zeitgeist tabloids love to cover. The major headline is Bartlett’s discreet but confirmed resignation as a director of Flight Story Group, the media powerhouse behind The Diary of a CEO. City AM, Euro Weekly News, and several prominent business sources all reported that Bartlett has stepped down from his official directorship, with his brother Jason Bartlett immediately installed as director in his place. According to both City AM and Euro Weekly News, this move is part of a broader reshuffling as Steven consolidates his core business positions, though direct control is shifting behind the scenes he remains the dominant shareholder and creative voice. Social posts from The Diary of a CEO and his personal channels have made zero mention of the resignation, continuing to promote recent episodes and reeling in millions of listeners—making it clear he is still hosting and his signature candor is going nowhere. This leadership shakeup coincides with last week’s launch of Flightcast, his bold new $20 million video-first podcast platform developed with a former MrBeast engineer. Finance Monthly and Wikipedia both detail how Flightcast is targeting serious creators with AI tools, advanced analytics, and a slick monthly subscription, aiming to challenge YouTube and Spotify as creators’ go-to infrastructure. Analysts are watching closely, with industry watchers projecting over $3 billion in podcast ad revenue up for grabs this coming year.

Bartlett’s high-profile Dragons' Den seat is as secure as ever he continues to be a fixture and news magnet on the show. He drew notice just days ago for his on-air evaluation of a fledgling property app, bluntly calling out the business model as under-capitalized and ultimately passing on the deal—a move that got plenty of traction among startup pundits and X threads.

Internationally, Bartlett’s fame spiked with his recent masterclass and by being named to Time’s inaugural TIME100 Creators list and the UK's Powerlist 2026 for his influence in business and media. His most recent Diary of a CEO episodes—featuring big guests like Jurgen Klopp—have dominated podcast charts per iHeart and Sports Business Journal, affirming both his broad appeal and elite access.

Speculation swirls—though unconfirmed—over whether this directorship exit signals a pivot to even bigger ventures or the prep work for major outside investment, but official statements maintain this is simply business as usual as he readies for Flightcast’s next leap. Ultimately, with a net worth near $60 million and an active hand in new creator commerce projects, Steven Bartlett’s brand remains pure rocket fuel, and every move he makes continues to send shockwaves across business and social media alike.
