  Great interviewer. Calm. Doesn’t inject himself into the conversation. Asks questions and genuinely listens to and allows the guest to answer. Respects the guests knowledge of the subject and shows interest in the guest. Hoping this podcast/platforn is winning awards.

  The difference between a hero and a villain is what they do with their pain, specifically their childhood pain. Introspection is phenomenal in evolving the healing of the inner child.

  Watching in February 2025…<br>I couldn’t comment right away, because I literally had to handle the multi-day, full-scale mental breakdown, but I’m back because I just want to say: Walter Isaacson, you exemplify the qualities of Benjamin Franklin. Thank you.

  Elon is one of a kind. Even young people who wants to be like him no one can copy or fallow his life. He is a special different type of a genius and multiple moods but he is not a bad person. His minds is like a rockets type. God loves him and I hope he will find we have a greater creator &nbsp;who made heaven and earth . Elon will one day will come to know Jesus Christ.

  The abuse of people on the spectrum over the years has been shocking. <br>The attitudes to autism and towards my own autistic child whilst he was growing up, were diabolical. <br>His own grandmother wanted to put him in an institution and forget about him, because he was &quot;different&quot; and she wanted to keep him secret from others. <br><br>That didn&apos;t happen, I sheltered him from the abuse as best I can, encouraged him, supported him and now he&apos;s in a highly responsible job with great prospects and a great team under him. <br><br>My mother would have had him locked away, licking windows. <br><br>Elon will have endured far worse. <br>I&apos;m in the first few minutes of the podcast..... I know I will find it emotionally challenging to hear of Elons life, I know his family were cruel and I can&apos;t bear to think of anyone on the spectrum who is treated badly. <br><br>I think I will have to listen a few minutes at a time. <br><br>Thanks for the thoughtful guests Steven. ❤<br><br>Yes I&apos;m subscribed and notified.

  In Aspergers your &quot;flight or fight&quot; response is usually pegged at &quot;FIGHT&quot;. Tons of brilliant minds come from that spectrum. &nbsp;It&apos;s a gift and a curse.
