Who is Jay Shetty and what is his background?
Welcome to the Aspire podcast. My guest today is someone I knew I wanted to have on the minute I decided to start a podcast. He's a number one New York Times bestselling author, the chief purpose officer at Calm, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, and the award-winning host of the On Purpose podcast, which currently tops the charts with over 35 million monthly downloads. Welcome to Aspire, Jay Sherry.
Emma, it's so good to see you.
I am so happy to see you. I cannot tell you.
Congratulations, first of all. I can't believe we're in this beautiful studio. It's amazing. And when you came on the show, honestly, I want you to know my community and audience
loved you I love you for saying everything you shared like everyone is so addicted to everything you have to say oh well do you know what I honestly when we did that show it was a real moment for me because I said to you before like I don't really think I'd ever spoken like that in public I always speak about the businesses and so it was definitely a moment I'm glad everyone got to fall in love with you and you're as lovable in person too so it was great well here's hoping We're going to get to find out if I'm that lovable. Honestly, I say it in all seriousness. When I decided to do this podcast, you were one of the first people to come into my mind. Not only because we had that lovely experience, we've since become friends. I see you kind of all over the world. Do you know what I mean? It's like a random conference. Then we'll be in an event together.
And every time I see you, everything about you is so you. You're just one of the people that like fills me up with like warmth and happiness every single time I see you. And honestly, the whole point and the purpose of me doing this podcast was really to talk to people that I aspire to, that I think the world aspires to. And I'm really obsessed with this idea that in life, you can't be what you don't see. And when I look at you as an author, as a podcast host, as a businessman, as a coach, you've kind of crafted this career for yourself, which is literally a one of one experience. And you've done it all while remaining so true to your purpose and your vision. And I just wonder how you've done that.
Like, how did you do or create that kind of career when there's clearly like no model for it?
Life's about two things. I think you're told when you're growing up that life is about checking all these boxes, ticking all these boxes, go to school, get good grades, get a good job, get married, have kids, and then you made it. And I actually think life's about two things. It's about collecting and connecting. What I mean by that is you spend your whole life collecting experiences.
How can you protect your peace amidst ambition?
So I remember when you came on, we talked about first jobs. My first job was I delivered newspapers and I used to go around pulling my little trolley around the streets in my area and putting newspapers through. It wasn't as glamorous as it is in America where they're like riding on a bike and throwing it. It's raining in London. You got to go put it through and you're fighting with the dog on the other side. But I learned a lot from that job. All the other kids in my area, they used to go chuck the newspapers on the train track. And so they lost their streets and they got given to me. So I learned, oh, if you work hard, you get a bonus. So I got more streets. I then worked at Morrison's, Walmart.
Like I worked at a grocery store. I was stacking shelves, pulling in inventory, putting pallets around in the warehouse. What did I learn there? I learned how merchandise was sold, how it was stacked, how it was put together. Then I was lucky enough to work in retail. I sold denim at River Island and I learned all about- Really like seeing this parallel path for us right now. And so it's like all you're doing your whole life, I think you think you've got to find this one job that solves everything. It isn't. My job today is a collection and a connection of so many different jobs and roles I've played. And that way, even if you hate your job right now, all you have to say is, what am I collecting here? What's the experience? What's the skill?
