Summary
This week, we’re joined by none other than Jay Shetty - one of the biggest names in wellness and podcasting. Everyone may know who he is, but this week we are diving into his origin story, uncovering the moments that shaped him into the thought leader he is today. Jay takes us through his incredible journey, from what first sparked his interest in monkhood to how his family reacted when he made the life-altering decision to pursue it. He opens up about the challenges of transitioning back to public life after leaving monkhood, the resilience it took to push through over 40 job rejections, and how mindfulness found its way back into his life - leading him to teach weekly meditations to his colleagues. We also explore the pressure of "practicing what you preach" in the wellness space, the role of humility in continuous growth, and a simple 5-4-3-2-1 mindfulness technique you can use today. Plus, Jay shares about his first-ever live tour, On Purpose, and what he’s most excited to bring to audiences.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:04.7 | This is something that I maybe want your advice on. |

| 0:20.0 | How to like combat those thoughts of I feel like I'm not doing enough to actually be sitting here doing this. |

| 0:50.3 | When I was with the monks, humility was seen as the most aspirational quality that a human could ever aspire for. |
| 0:58.0 | I love that your lemon drops have you to listen to. |
| 1:01.3 | That's what makes you both perfect hosts because you're not coming at this from a point of view of we know and you don't. |
| 1:07.8 | You're coming at it from a point of view of, hey, we're struggling with this |
| 1:11.0 | and we're figuring it out and I'm trying to share it. |
| 1:19.8 | When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them? |
