The American podcaster has hosted several eminent personalities from all walks of life on his show so far.
US President-elect Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are among those who have featured in his podcasts so far.
