Based on his hit podcast of the sane name, Diary of a CEO sees Steven take fans on a journey of how self-belief can triumph over adversity.
And County Durham born Crafter's Companion founder Sara was full of praise for him after watching him alongside her sister.
Sharing a selfie of her and Steven backstage on her Instagram, Sara wrote: "He’s brought such a different perspective to the Den and as well as going to support a mate, I was really keen to find out more about his experience speaking to the most exciting entrepreneurs and figures in our world today through his podcast.
"And - he did such an incredible job. He’s taken all of that wisdom learned from hours of these podcast interviews, with different people from all walks of life , and created what is a fantastic show."
Sara, who won the opening night of the Strictly tour' s run in Newcastle alongside Aljaz Škorjanec at the end of January, added: "It was amazing to see what he’s achieved and how he made those people feel and I was honoured and chuffed to be a part of the audience!"
Commenting underneath, someone else who saw Steven in Newcastle told her; "I was there last night and I still feel shook up by it I’ve spent all day questioning my self about what I want to do when i grow up ( I’m 41) I still don’t know!"
Another responded: "I love how welcoming, encouraging and supportive you are with others around you in your familiar field Sara well done you it’s refreshing to see."
