Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose.
My name's Jay Shetty.
I am so, so grateful that you're here right now.
And I just want to take a moment, listen to this.
This is crazy, right?
We're nearly at 10,000 five star reviews.
It's insane.
And that's thanks to each and every single one of you
that are turning up every single week.
Our audience and community is growing on a daily
basis and we're so close to having those 10,000 reviews. So if you're already a subscriber to the

launch a new podcast. And if you've already subscribed, please, please, please go and relieve a
review. It means so much to me. I love reading the ones that are so powerful, so deep and so meaningful,
and they really, really do mean a lot to me. So thank you so much. Now, this week, I want to do
something really interesting on the episode. I'm speaking a lot of events. I'm going to a lot of
sessions. And sometimes these Q&A and events are really powerful ways for me to connect with each
of you. And I want to share these with you you and the reason I want to share them with you is
sometimes I think when someone asks me a question in the audience, I'm thinking I bet there's more people who think like this
I bet there's more people that are
struggling with this or challenge with this and then when I did this Q&A
I thought this one I want to share on the podcast
So what you're about to hear right now is a Q&A that I did in an event this year, and you're going to get to hear people ask me
their real challenges, real questions, and you're going to hear me talk about so many different things, everything from being a video creator,
all the way through to being more mindful, through how to have real transformation in your life.
And I talk about these three Cs of transformation, which you're going to hear, but I want to put them up front for you.
You're going to hear about the power of coaching, the power of consistency,
and the power of community.
And as you're listening through this episode, I want you to ask yourself that question,
where am I getting coaching? Of course, you're listening to this podcast, so you're getting it right here.
But where, where in your life are you open to mentorship and coaching?
The second thing is, what is helping you be consistent?
If the air in your life you
want to accelerate, are you consistent in growth in that space? And the third is, are you surrounding
yourself with a community that is built for growth? I can't wait for you to hear this episode,
as always, share your insights on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and everywhere else,
and I can't wait to see what you learn.
and everywhere else, and I can't wait to see what you learn.

I'll just work. Perfect, let's do it. Hey J. I love when we share our last session about how we get to be conscious with our consumption. Yes. Especially social media. I'm going to flip that and go even into creation.
And so when you look at kind of an overlay of my as those hierarchy leads and the internet
and social media, one might say that Facebook is giving us belongingness,
linked in achievement.
What's next in terms of self-actualization
and ultimately self-transcendence?
Yeah, thank you for asking that question.
So first of all, I don't think any social media
can give us self-actualization.
I wish it could, that'd be so cool if you could
take a pill or watch a video or whatever it may be and that it just gave you that moment, that would be so cool if he could take a pillow, watch a video or whatever
it may be, and that it just gave you that moment.
It would be amazing.
But I think what's next is we have come to a place where I think people are looking for alternatives
that people have become dissatisfied with the norm.
It's why social media videos around the positive elements are growing because all of us are
seeking, and I think that's awesome.
And I think the biggest thing we have to do is I think everyone has to sit down and
just seek a step further and just go, okay, I've found this piece of content online that
inspired me, that moved me. What do I do now about it in my real life? Right? That's online offline.
What am I going to do offline that is parallel to what I just saw online? And if it's just constantly
watching more videos, that's not gonna work.
There are needed regular reminders,
but I think we have to go have an offline experience.
So what I say to a lot of people is,
like, I love the fact that we're all meditating
for five minutes a day, ten minutes a day, et cetera.
But if you can go away and do a day course
on meditational mindfulness or self-realization,
if you can go away and do a weekend,
an immersive experience, trumps,
sorry to use that one.
A immersive experience trumps a 10 minute segment
that you could do all year, any day,
in terms of deepening an experience.
I'll explain what I mean.
If you meet someone that you wanna date,
go guy whatever it is, and you wanna date them,
and you saw them for 10 minutes a day, How long will it take you to fall in love?
If you spend a whole weekend with someone, you're more likely to know whether you
want to be in love with them or not and what works and what doesn't. So my point
is the 10 minutes today is great but go have an immersive experience, go and really
get stuck into an ideology, a methodology that works for you, and then that 10
minutes is going to feel meaningful and fruitful.
So that would be my tip.
Thank you so much, man. Thank you for your question.
Hey, man.
I'm sure that you just wanted to know,
what is the biggest obstacle that you're currently overcoming
in the entrepreneur?
Beautiful question. Wow, thank you for that.
I think the biggest obstacle, can I give two?
I have internal and external things for everything.
And what I mean by that is, there's stuff that I'm working on
personally that's a challenge and then there's professional stuff that's a
challenge. So the professional stuff that's a challenge is we're still living in
a world which values mainstream media messages. So for a lot of us creators who are
really trying to make a stand we're still trying to break through that noise.
There is a group of people that have been buying the same work, doing the
same work, spreading the same messages, and slowly we're trickling in there, but it's
still required a lot of work. So the more people that keep reminding people that this is
where the world's going, this is what the world needs, that's going to help all of us
break through. So that's one of the biggest obstacles that I face
all the time is despite everything,
you're still having to convince people, right?
Who are in positions of power, that wellness,
empowerment, uplifting messages,
are the future of what humanity needs.
So we still live in a world that wants to feed
us negative content, we still live in a world
that wants to go with the quick win,
right, the cheap comedy, the quick win,
rather than the refining acts of creation.
On a personal level, the biggest obstacle I go through
is refining my intention on a daily basis.
And the reason why I say it's an obstacle
is because I always remind myself to be cautious.
I'd rather be more cautious than end up in a mess.
So every day I refine my intention about what I say yes to
and what I say no to.
It's so easy to say yes to brand deals because they make a lot of money.
But constantly I'm looking at them and refining my intention and going,
is this going to help my audience?
Because that's why I started.
When I started, I didn't think about any of that.
All I started was service.
And so I'm constantly reminding myself to only create and only make out of service.
So if something's going to serve, then it fits. If it's not going to serve,
then I don't really want that in my life, because that's going to keep planting what I call weeds.
So I'm always refining my seed and weed formula.
So seeds are positive seeds, positive themes that are going to empower people,
help people, serve people
and weeds are negative intentions.
So seeds are positive intentions,
weeds are negative intentions,
every day I'm ripping out those weeds out of my heart
because I don't want to plant those weeds
because we all know weeds don't grow trees,
fruits or shade for anyone else.
Yeah, thank you.
Awesome man, I'll see you there.
Thank you bro, good to see you. I'll be trying to wear my t-shirt.
I love it. It's really nice.
Hey, how's it going?
So I have questions you create a lot of content
and a lot of people obviously watch it
and it's way consummational for a lot of people.
I was curious about a senior portion of the program
from that. What do you see actually
with people from watching
to bringing that shift of engaging and taking action
for themselves?
Absolutely.
So I think videos give inspiration.
In three to four minutes, you can inspire someone.
And let's not.
I don't want to underestimate the potential of a video, too.
I get thousands of messages every week, where someone messages me
and says, your video
stopped me from committing suicide.
And for me, that's why I make video at one of the deepest levels.
It's incredible to see, I never thought a video could do that, but it does.
And I always response saying, no, I didn't do that.
You did that.
You stopped yourself from committing suicide.
Take that responsibility.
You did it.
You won.
You beat that battle, not me.
You did it yourself.
And so I don't want to take away from the power of a video,
but what I do want to say is that the quicker you can get
into something that is consistent, community-based,
and coached by a mentor, the quicker you're going to grow.
Those are the three C's of growth, right?
You need a coach.
If you want to get good at everything,
you have to have a coach.
There is no one who's got good at anything
without having a coach, whether it was conscious
or subconscious, whether you knew it or you didn't know it.
You know, for me, a big thing was getting a person trained in last year when I started
exercising more, taking care of my body and my health.
I realized how much a coach could make you fall in love with something you don't enjoy.
So coaches are the number one.
The second thing is it needs to be consistent.
It's not good enough to hear someone wants at a conference. It's not good enough to hear someone once at a conference.
It's not good enough to meet someone once a month.
You need that consistency.
We shower every day, we eat every day.
Right? You have to do both to stay alive.
So you need to refuel and renew your mind every single day.
It needs to be consistent.
And the third thing is it needs community.
Right? If you're growing without community,
it's not sustainable.
All of us needs friends that want the same thing.
All of us need friends to discuss things with, to grow with,
to hear the same ideas back, to reflect with.
So those are the three C's.
So if you're not growing, it's because one of those three C's
or two of those three C's, or maybe three of those three C's
are not in our lives.
So I ask myself, when I'm not growing, I'm like, which one's missing?
And then I find it, and then I go find that, and I water that.
Right? So three T's.
Awesome, thanks.
I'm Jay Shetty, and on my podcast on purpose,
I've had the honor to sit down with some of the most incredible
hearts and minds on the planet.
Oprah.
Everything that has happened to you can also be a strength builder for you if you allow it.
Kobe Bryant. The results don't really matter. It's the figuring out that matters.
Kevin Haw. It's not about us as a generation at this point. It's about us trying our best to create
change. Luminous Hamilton. That's for me been taking that moment for yourself each day, being kind
to yourself because I think for a long time I wasn't kind to myself.
And many, many more.
If you're attached to knowing, you don't have a capacity to learn.
On this podcast, you get to hear the raw real-life stories behind their journeys,
and the tools they used, the books they read, and the people that made a difference in their lives
so that they can make a difference in hours.

you get your podcasts.

I'm Dr. Romani and I am back with season two of my podcast, Navigating Narcissism.
Narcissists are everywhere and their toxic behavior in words can cause serious harm to
your mental health. In our first season,
we heard from Eileen Charlotte, who was loved by the Tinder Swindler.
The worst part is that he can only be guilty for stealing the money from me,
but he cannot be guilty for the mental part he did. And that's even way worse than the money he took.
But I am here to help.
As a licensed psychologist and survivor
of narcissistic abuse myself,
I know how to identify the narcissists in your life.
Each week, you will hear stories from survivors
who have navigated through toxic relationships,
gaslighting, love bombing,
and the process of their healing from these relationships.
Listen to navigating narcissism on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
This is what it sounds like inside the box-paw.
I'm journalist and I'm Morton in my podcast, City of the Rails.
I plunge into the dark world of America's railroads searching for my daughter Ruby who ran off to hop train. I'm just like stuck on this train, not where I'm gonna end up. And I jump.
Following my daughter, I found a secret city of unforgettable characters, living outside society, off the grid and on the edge.
I was in love with a lifestyle and the freedom, this community.
No one understands who we truly are.
The rails made me feel like I was in love with the lifestyle and the freedom this community.
No one understands who we truly are.
The Rails made me question everything I knew about
motherhood, history, and the thing we call the American dream.
It's the last vestige of American freedom.
Everything about it is extreme.
You're either going to die,
or you can have this incredible rebirth and really understand who you are.
Come with me to find out what waits for us in the city of the rails.

How did you begin the whole content creation thing?
Sure.
I have a company right now where I'm doing a lot of it at myself.
It's trying to figure out who my audience is, who naturally fits with me.
Go after the audience and try to fit myself to them.
How do the whole content things start for you?
Absolutely.
A lot of people don't know this, but I started making content when I was 18,
but it wasn't online.
So when I first got exposed to the wisdom
that I speak about now, I set up a university society
called Think Out Loud.
And literally groups of 10 students would come to him
and speak every week on philosophy, psychology, and science.
And so I would do these interactive presentations.
And I did them every week from 18 to 22,
and by the end, when I left university, we had 100 students coming every single week.
So one of the things I talk about with any good content creator is, I've spent more time
with people's pain, and that's why the content works.
Because when you've sat with people and you've really understood their issues, and you've
done it again and again and again, and bear in mind, when I did that university, it made
zero money, I had zero followers
and it was zero views.
It was purely, and it still is, to help people,
but at that time there was no other element to it.
But I have to sit with real people,
with real challenges.
Come into a conference like this is great.
The questions you ask me are feeding content in my mind
because I'm hearing what people are really struggling with.
So the first step is you've got to sit with real people
with real stories, who have real challenges,
because ultimately content has to be a cure to that.
And the second thing I say is that there's two types
of content creators.
One is the sell out, and one is the sell fish.
So a sell fish creates only creates videos for themselves.
You know when you make a video, I'm like,
I would sew watch this, right?
And it's like, yes, you're the only person that would so watch that. And I've made some
of those videos too, where you just think you're so smart and you look so cool. But that's
selfish creator. You make stuff that only you understand, right? No one else would get
it. And then you have the, the sell out content creator. The sell out only makes for the audience.
The sell out goes, oh, what's trending this week? Let me make a video about this. Oh,
that buzzword, or I'm going to chuck it in there.
And that doesn't work either, because that's hard to refuel.
It's hard to feel meaningful.
So the truth is the marriage between the two.
You want to listen to people to find out what their challenges are,
but you want to draw from whatever you're learning to serve that challenge.
And you finding that sweet spot is where,
where all the content creation happens.
So for me, all of my videos start with a real challenge someone's dealing with. And then
I'm finding a solution in what I learn as a monk to apply to that. And I always try and
find science to back it up because I'm a bit of a geek and I like science. So that's
kind of how I create content. Thank you so much. Hey, I'm Ali. I'm a fellow at work that I'm trying to do right now,
helping my students invest in their personal development,
providing personal development scholarships.
And so I want to know you would go back in time
to tell your guys for yourself
to what would you say to invest in yourself early
when you just didn't have time to do some energy
just invest in their personal development.
The biggest thing I did wrong was I used to look at job specs and think, can I do that?
I would look at a job specification, I'm sure many of you have done this.
The stats show that when men look at job specs, if they can do 75% of it, they are like,
yeah, I'm applying. If women look at it, and even if they could do 75% of it, they'll say, I can't apply.
So women, obviously, are based on that
and more honest than men.
But men have that ability, a statistic show,
that men are over amplifying their skill set
and how they view themselves.
So my point being that I always analyzed my abilities
based on what a job spec said.
So I was always trying to fit what I had into that.
And I think everyone should work the opposite way around.
We should be teaching young people to reflect on,
what am I good at?
What are my skills?
What brings me alive?
What do I love?
What do I love doing and could work on all night long?
Like when you start getting someone to live like that,
they're either gonna find a job and create
their own job inside a company,
or they're gonna go off and become an entrepreneur.
Or they're going to do something that's really meaningful to them.
It's not about entrepreneurship or being an employer, any of those options.
It's the point of, let's not look at our lives based on,
do we fit a resume?
Do we fit in a job spec?
Analyzing yourself based on that is so limiting, and I did that for such a long time.
And so my biggest advice to my high school self or just before I got a college,
your started a job would be, let's get me to reflect on what I'm good at,
what I'm passionate about. And the second step is, let me get really good at it.
And that's what's often missed. We always hear people say, like,
follow your passion, like, live your passion. That's terrible if you're not good at it.
Right? That's terrible advice if you're not the best in the world at it
or in or one of the best in the world at it.
So I absolutely love soccer, right football, real football.
I absolutely love soccer and I've played my whole life.
I'm pretty good.
I could never have played at a Premier League level.
And I love it and I'm passionate about it.
I love the sport, but I don't have the physical ability
or the physical training, or even the tolerance
and discipline to do that.
And so it's not just about what you're passionate
and I think we've got to stop just pushing that bit.
It's about passion and then perfecting.
And we've got to force people to move
that passion to perfection.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, awesome.
Happy birthday.
Have a great weekend. Hey. Hey. Hi, awesome. Happy birthday. Have a great weekend. Hey.
Hi, guys.
I'm a single last session.
I think we're still really struck behind on this.
How do you portray a pain in the online online online?
Can you talk about that model?
Because at the end of the day, it's a simple, straight, but it's a common way to have
a good time.
And I'm trying to be a talking about it.
So I love the core and it's a kind of helpful thing to tell.
Absolutely.
So I come from a world where I used to do a lot of one-to-one coaching,
working with individuals.
And then when I had this desire, I read that study that said,
more people own a smartphone than a toothbrush.
And I was just like, I need this content
to connect with everyone in the world.
And that's when I started making videos because I felt that I didn't just want to speak to the
boardrooms. I didn't just want to speak at conferences. I wanted this to touch everyone who owned
a mobile phone, like because then we could help everyone in the world because that was a pattern
that I saw. And so when I came from that world and then I started making videos and then multiple
people sent emails to me saying, hey, Jay, we'd love to be coached by you,
we'd love to work with you.
And I realized if I started doing individual coaching again,
I could never keep up with it.
So I set up my genius coaching group
at the beginning of last year in 2018,
which is my online coaching program,
which has thousands of members all over the world
that are connecting and being coached by me as a group.
And the beautiful thing in that is that the community is so strong and so deep.
People meet each other for birthdays, they send each other Christmas presents.
People are getting, if I went down my page right now, I could show you every city in which
we have a meet-up right now.
Which I'm going to do it, because it's fun.
If I could bring up on the screen, I would.
But this, this has given me more joy than anything I've achieved in the last year because we have all these meetups having every week and the best thing is
They're not based around me being present and that's the most fulfilling thing to me that it's not
I don't have to turn up for people to meet so this is just this week
New York London Switzerland San Francisco, India Bangalore, Mexico City, Pakistan, Lahore, Bulgaria, Australia, UK, Edinburgh,
Canada, Maryland, Virginia, India, Pune, India Mumbai, Singapore, France, Spain, right?
Just this week.
And then we have, thank you so much.
And that goes on and on and on and on and on.
And so for me, I was constantly thinking about what's really going to help people.
They're watching my video and getting my coaching is important, but people need friends
and family.
And I realized one of the biggest challenges
people have today is that they don't feel
their current group of friends or family really get them.
Anyone have a felt like that?
Yeah, when I became a monk, my family didn't get me
and I don't blame them for that.
But if you feel that way, I've noticed
that this coaching group has really helped people.
So if that's something I'm interested in,
it's called my Genius Coaching Program.
It's easy to find online in check out.
I'd love that too. I just, I don't really know so much about the education system in this country,
having not come from it because I grew up in a born and raised in London, so I don't know so much, but
Sure, thank you. I appreciate that. Thanks so much
Not too long ago in the heart of the Amazon rainforest this explorer stumbled upon something that would change his life I saw it and I saw oh wow. This is a very unusual situation
It was cacao the tree that gives us chocolate.
But this cacao was unlike anything
experts had seen, or tasted.
I've never wanted us to have a gun fight.
I mean, you saw the stacks of cash in our office.
Chocolate sort of forms this vortex.
It sucks you in.
It's like I can be the queen of wild chocolate.
We're all lost.
It was madness.
It was a game changer.
People quit their jobs.
They left their lives behind so they could search for more of this stuff.
I wanted to tell their stories, so I followed them deep into the jungle, and it wasn't always
pretty.
Basically, this like disgruntled guy and his family surrounded the building armed with machetes.
And we've heard all sorts of things that, you know, somebody got shot over this.
Sometimes I think, oh all all this for a damn
bar of chocolate. Listen to obsessions while chocolate on the iHeart Radio app

Our twenties are seen as this golden decade. Our time to be carefree, full in love,
make mistakes and decide what we want
from our life. But what can psychology really teach us about this decade? I'm Gemma
Speg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s. Each week we take a deep dive into a unique
aspect of our 20s, from career anxiety, mental health, heartbreak, money, friendships, and much more,
to explore the science and the psychology behind our experiences,
incredible guests, fascinating topics, important science, and a bit of my own personal experience.
Audrey, I honestly have no idea what's going on with my life.
Join me as we explore what our 20s are really all about.
From the good, the bad, and the ugly, and listen along as we uncover how everything is psychology,
including our 20s.
The psychology of your 20s hosted by me, Gemma Speg, now streaming on the iHot Radio
app, Apple Podcasts or whatever you get your podcasts. I am Mi'Anna and on my podcast, the R-Spot, we're having inspirational, educational, and
sometimes difficult and challenging conversations about relationships.
They may not have the capacity to give you what you need and insisting means that you
are abusing yourself now. You human!
That means that you're crazy as hell, just like the rest of us.
When a relationship breaks down, I take copious notes and I want to share them with you.
Anybody with two eyes and a brain knows that too much Alfredo sauce is just
no good for you. But if you're going to eat it, they're not going to stop you. So he's
going to continue to give you the Alfredo sauce and put it even on your grits if you don't
stop him. Listen to the art spot on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you listen
to podcasts. on living a life of presence as your mind is racing and I'm going to capture that, I want to do this.
So this is too big of an opportunity.
I'm going to do this.
And I love it, I love it.
So I read a study.
I read a study that says, you can't be created
and logical at the same time.
How many of you have tied to go from coming up
with the next best video idea to walk into a meeting
about numbers and business, like two seconds later, right?
Or you're in a meeting where you're trying to care
about people and then the next meeting is like,
all about task, strategy, breaking things down
like logistics.
What you're basically doing is stretching
the minds capability, so you can do both,
but not for long.
What you're doing is you're stretching the minds capability,
you're creating more stress, more burnout,
productivity goes down, effectiveness goes down,
creativity goes down.
So what I do is I block create content,
and then I live and do everything else.
So what I mean by that is in a 30 day month, right?
I spend nine days a month creating content
where I get so deep,
all I'm doing is scripting, reading, researching,
videoing, filming, editing, titling.
I'm like completely immersed in the process.
And then for the other 21 days,
I'm out at conferences like this.
I'm doing meetings where I don't have the pressure
of having to create content.
I'm not sitting here going like,
oh my God, I need a poster video right now
because that would stress my brain out.
And I used to do that.
And then when I read this study,
I was like, how do I apply that to my life bank?
I found it and now that's what I do. So I'm stressed my brain out and I used to do that. And when I read this study, I was like, how do I apply that to my life bank? I found it and now that's what I do.
So I'm recommending to everyone that when you go creative,
go deep.
And then when you go logistical and networking
and connection, go deep.
Don't try to do both at the same time.
No.
I was a man here in the vlog to finish.
Oh, that's awesome.
I was so happy to hear your answer.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, so in that point, even if you have a weekly vlog,
don't record it weekly.
Record it in one week and spread it across the month, right?
Like anyone who's creating weekly content
is gonna really struggle for the rest of your life
if every week, I know people who do daily content
and after doing that for one or two years, they are destroyed.
And when I say destroyed, I mean, like, people are burnt out.
Like all the creators that I know that I personally work with
are burnt out because they're trying to create new content
every day just to keep up with the algorithm,
just to get that view, just to get that ad revenue.
It's the worst way of working.
Create your content, go deep in creativity,
and then post and share and make that consistent.
You make better content, too.
For. Thank you.
So I'm also in production
and we create informational content for brands
who want to make a positive impact in the world
and the scheduling of everything
and you run a company and doing the meetings
like totally resonates with me.
And I like that you pick the number nine.
I was thinking of doing my production and production
post-production, like 11-day increments.
I'm curious what your process is like from the three
phases of production during the 90s
and how much work you actually end up creating.
Sure.
So I'm thinking of content all the time
in the sense of when I'm listening, learning, when I'm in a conversation.
I'm not thinking of content in the sense of, oh, this will make a good video.
I'm trying to be a human algorithm of learning.
So I consider myself to be an intuitive algorithm.
When I'm having a conversation, I'm trying to learn and grow and take in and absorb as much as I can
so that that stores in my mind so that I can use it
as a data set later on.
So then when I'm sitting down to create content,
I'm like, yeah, I remember that one person asking that question
and that really resonated with me
and I read that study the other day
and that was really powerful.
So what I do is when I'm on planes,
I literally have my Apple Note cell
and I'll just be jotting tons of things down.
They're not aligned, they're not anything
and I said one thing at a Q&A and I'll write that down because that made sense. So I'm just putting
all this random thought in. And then in nine days it goes from being random thought to being
scripts to then shooting what I do usually in nine days is 12 videos. So I'm making 12 videos
because that's how much content I create a month, I create three videos a week. And so
that goes from scripting into shoot and edit.
So we shoot and edit 12 videos across four days.
We do three videos a day.
That's usually the volume.
And then release.
What?
Thank you.
And I've got to stop.
I'm so sorry.
I have this sign waving in my face.
But please tweet me and I will answer.
I promise.
