He’s signed to talent agency, WME, which also represents Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.
The official line is that he’ll be focusing on expanding The Diary Of A CEO and his personal brand in America.

“In the last two years, the U.S. has become our largest global audience, and this partnership with WME feels like the right step at this time to better serve our listeners and to continue building on that progress,” he said.
His unofficial statement on LinkedIn probably was more succinct: “It was a really f*cking surreal pinch-myself moment to sit in WME’s LA offices as we agreed the deal.
“[…] Who the f*ck would have ever thought that a podcast recorded from my Shoreditch kitchen might lead to this….. absolutely not me. But here we are, trying to figure this out… thank you! I really mean that.”
