Steven Bartlett: ‘I’m less than 1% into my journey’

“In life it is rare to see a role that aligns with your skillset, your ambitions and also your personal interests – and this for me does all three.

“I am so excited to work with the incredible talent in the building, and for this next chapter.”

FlightStory is the media company owned by Steven.com and is behind some of the world’s most influential podcasts.
