Jay Shetty 0:00
If you can't see something in your mind, you can't create it in your life. And so instead of looking at life through these two extremes, maybe there's a middle path. And the middle path could be that, wait a minute, maybe I don't need to quit my job. Maybe I can stay at my job and then build my passion and build my skills and learn and expand my network. And maybe this thing that feels like a big risk and feels like a big jump and a big leap, maybe I can make it feel like a series of steps that make it feel seamless and smooth. Maybe it doesn't need to be, if I don't go all in, then I'm not going to make it. And I think sometimes also... Our mindset today is if I don't go all in, then it doesn't matter.

This episode is brought to you by Indeed and Pinesol.
Craig Robinson 0:59
Well, it is great to see you.
Michelle Obama 1:01
Hi, you.
Craig Robinson 1:02
I miss not recording with you and spending time with you.
Michelle Obama 1:07
Welcome to one of my favorite places to be. I know it is. Martha's Vineyard.
Craig Robinson 1:11
We have to figure out how to get here more often.
Michelle Obama 1:13
You know, I keep telling you all that. This is a great place for the boys at this age. I know you all are busy with basketball and all the things, but... Last time they were here, they had a ball.
Craig Robinson 1:25
Listen, it's not their fault. It's our fault. Between basketball and music and school, it just makes it tough. But, I mean, I really appreciate you having us here. How about this?
Michelle Obama 1:37
Yeah, yeah. We're lucky. I mean, I can actually walk. I can get on a bike and ride for hours. I can walk on my own. You can see the ocean. The towns are just very quaint. So I'm glad you're here.
Craig Robinson 1:54
I am glad to be here. And our listeners should know that your oldest nephew got married this summer.
Michelle Obama 2:00
I'm just so happy for Avery. It was really neat. Avery and Emily.
Craig Robinson 2:03
Another Mrs. Robinson.
Michelle Obama 2:05
Another Mrs. Robinson. How about that? That's strange. That is. How does it feel having your first child married?
Craig Robinson 2:13
I will tell you that Kelly and I were so focused on the wedding because we didn't hear anything about what was going on. So we thought it was going to be a disaster, of course.
Michelle Obama 2:23
No faith, no faith.
Craig Robinson 2:24
No faith in your own kids who you've raised to be well. And when we showed up and everything was so well done and so tastefully done and so many of the little things like the name tags and the menus were all done by hand by Emily and Avery. Wow. It was such a wonderful and beautiful ceremony. I left there feeling proud.
Michelle Obama 2:47
Yeah, yeah. Well, you did a good job, dude. Thanks. Yeah. Thank you. Way to go. Way to go.
Craig Robinson 2:54
Well, speaking of jobs.
Michelle Obama 2:56
Mm-hmm.
Craig Robinson 2:57
We have a great question today. We do.
Michelle Obama 3:01
We do. Good segue. Way to go.
Craig Robinson 3:04
Thanks. I'm working hard to be like our first guest, Jay Shetty. I'm trying to be Jay.
Michelle Obama 3:11
Okay, okay.
Craig Robinson 3:13
But the question deals with leaving your current situation to try and find a job in something that you're passionate about. And I've dealt with that.
Michelle Obama 3:26
Yeah, passion versus family versus financial. Financial, yeah, yeah. It's something that we've all dealt with, but it's a good question to get us started.
Craig Robinson 3:37
Yeah, yeah. And we've got a great guest for this. Jay Shetty is a number one New York Times bestselling author, award-winning storyteller. And I happen to be telling my sister all about someone she knows. This is really for me because I'm meeting him for the first time. He's a podcast host, which I've already said I'm trying to be like him.
Michelle Obama 4:00
You can learn a little something here.
Craig Robinson 4:02
And a former monk.
Michelle Obama 4:03
Yeah.
Craig Robinson 4:04
How about that? Dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. And he hosts the popular podcast On Purpose, which you were on, by the way. I'm very excited to have him with us today. And Jay, why don't you come on out? It's good to see you, man. Thanks for being here.
Jay Shetty 4:27
Grateful to be here. Thank you so much. It's great to see you. Thank you. Thanks so much. Craig, it's wonderful to meet you.
Craig Robinson 4:32
It is so nice to meet you, man. I listened to the show you did with my sister and I couldn't stop listening.
Jay Shetty 4:39
Oh, that's very kind. Well, that's because of her. Everything she said is beautiful. No, no, that's because of you. We already know.
