On Purpose with Jay Shetty · Riz Ahmed: How to Silence Your Inner Critic (And Build REAL Self Worth) · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

And so how has that affected the way that you, I mean, did that just make you even more motivated to speak and to choose your words and think about your words?

You start taking all the gifts for granted again.

You probably have to in a way to try and kind of move through the trauma.

But I don't know if you have moments where you remember that and you just sink into that deep sense of humility and gratitude.

I will, but can I first tell you something about your voice?

Yeah.

I love your voice but here's the thing when I sometimes I'm walking down the street it doesn't happen to me a lot but it's happened to me enough times I want to mention it sometimes people stop me and they say say I'm on the phone or whatever they've heard me talking they go sorry can I just tell you you sound exactly like Jay Shetty that is hilarious I'll take that as a compliment I'll take it as a compliment bro you'd make an amazing MC

I think you've got a great voice for that.

We need a few mixtapes in the past.

There we go.

So I just want to give your voice its flowers.

Yeah, the shame, you know, I think that the show is about this idea of wanting to be James Bond.

I wanted that.

I mean, who doesn't, or if not exactly that, a version of that.

Now, what I mean by that is like, you want to aspire to this archetype of heroism.

And that is about being this kind of invulnerable, powerful alpha male, whatever that means.

Although hilariously, I mean, the alpha male in a wolf pack is the animal that lets the kids beat it up the most.

You know, and it's like the most chill and the least aggressive, right?

But we have these ideas in our culture.

And I guess I didn't want to, I already felt like I don't fit the mold.
