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

We'd go and buy some and we'd sell them and then we'd go, you know, and try and buy some real ones.

And I don't know, we were just kind of obsessed with it, you know, as teenagers trying to wear the mask or having the costume or find worth, whatever it is.

Now I see it more as a kind of expression of myself.

Recently, I was going to do a talk show or something and I said,

I shouldn't wear that outfit.

That's too me in a weird way.

I was like, that's, I need to meet the audience where they're at.

Yeah.

Maybe they haven't seen a show like this or have related to someone like me from my background.

I'm doing something maybe target, like, you know, it's middle America or something.

And I, and I was, I tried to dilute down what I would wear and who I would be.

And luckily when I was wearing a thing, I was like, who the hell is this?

What am I, what am I doing?

And I took it off.

But I remember, and I remember actually in that moment being quite surprised.

It's like, oh, that's still really, that's still a really strong instinct in me.

Yeah.

To do that, to edit and censor myself in that way.

Sounds like a small thing, but.

Do you think though you only get away with being able to make that choice when you're successful?
