Jay Shetty, number one New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host of On Purpose, Chief Purpose Officer of Calm and Purpose Driven Entrepreneur. Welcome to Office Hours. It's so nice to have you on.

Thanks for having me. I'm so grateful to have you on thanks for having me i'm so

grateful to be here this is so exciting god i love calm i have to say i love that app even though

i'm not a meditator i will get into that later i have to say that app is like one of the most used

on my phone how has that experience been for you? That makes me so happy. Yeah, I joined

Calm as their chief purpose officer three years ago now, and it all came from this beautiful

friendship I had with the founders of Calm. So Michael Acton Smith and Alex, they both founded

the app and we kept hearing from both our worlds that I should connect with them and they were

hearing that they should connect with me.

And we got together.

And it's been incredible to record a seven-minute meditation five days a week,

every week for the last three years.

Wow. And so if someone wants to build a meditation practice,

there's seven minutes a day set up for you every single day.

That's so cool.

Yeah, that's amazing. Do they, do you,

do you, are you sort of like a consultant as well for them? Do they bounce ideas off of you?

Yeah, we'll discuss everything from what we're expanding with, how the brain's looking in,

looking into health right now. I love it. We've been having so many amazing conversations.

I'm so proud of, I mean, what we've been able to create together,

but what they've done because it's really showed us how meditation can be stories

and can be walks and can be practices.
