Full Episode
Have you ever had an interview where someone said something that totally caught you off guard, and at first you feel like, I don't know if this is accurate or true or right, and then it changed your mind? There's been a ton. Lately, politics is hot on the show, so... Politics? Yeah, we don't have to talk about that now.
No, no, I'm going... I kind of want to know. Well, what are some of the things that have stood out to you? Yeah, well, we're in L.A., so I got to be, you know.
We have armed security that will help you out of the city. So, you know. Hey, would you guys welcome Sean Kelly? Sean, first of all, I just got to shout out your swag. Thank you. It's pretty amazing. The character on your hoodie looks like you. Yeah, it is. And a younger version. Yeah, you could say that. All right, so I met you when I went to Las Vegas.
You invited me on your podcast, Digital Social Hour. It was an incredible experience. And I just want to begin here. You have 11.3 million followers on Instagram. We're close. All right. You're ahead by 11 million. How did the journey begin to develop that kind of footprint in the social media space?
Yeah. Well, I used to run a lot of paid ads. So years ago, that's how I grew. But lately, the growth has been through the podcast. So I filmed 1,200 episodes in two years. I do about 60 episodes a month. And I'm posting six times a day. So I got a lot of chances to go viral.
Wow. Anybody come in here thinking you're working too hard? Because that's over, right? That's over. You've had over 1,200 interviews? Yeah, 1,200. That's amazing. So I have to ask you. All right. I mean, I know that our interview was like one of your favorites, so let's just put that one aside, okay? And what were some of the most interesting interviews that you've experienced?
There's been so many, and I've had massive personal growth from the podcast. When I started this show, I was actually atheist, and I was in a really unhealthy, in a bad spiritual mindset as well. So I've just had so many growths. So on the spiritual side, I'd say Matthias de Stefano was a good one, Robert Edward Grant, Billy Carson, yourself. Physically, Gary Brekka changed my health.
I used to get sick every single month and I haven't been sick in two years now since I started. And then business wise, there's been so many. I've had on quite a few billionaires. Grant Cardone was good. Tai Lopez, all those guys. It's just been amazing to just grow from the podcast.
That's so good. When I was first connected with you, someone told me there's this guy named Sean Kelly. He's really brilliant. He's an atheist. Which is why I wanted to go on your podcast. I love making connections with people who are really bright but also very thoughtful and open. That was my experience with you very, very much so. There's some people who are atheists and they
