In August 2021 he revealed how he makes $1.2m a year from the popular podcast.
He is currently touring his Diary of a CEO live show around the º£½ÇÊÓƵ and is donating all the profits to charity.
Mr Bartlett staged his first show in Manchester in July 2021.
In a LinkedIn post, Mr Bartlett said: "The United States is our 4th audience, it accounts for only 2% of our audio listens and 12% of our video listens.
"We want to improve this, so at the end of March I’ll be in the United States for a while with the aim of having conversations with the very best business leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, authors and thinkers."
