What are the personal hardships Big Sean shares?
45 years ago, a Virginia soul band called the Edge of Daybreak recorded their debut album, Behind Bars. Record collectors consider it a masterpiece. The band's surviving members are long out of prison, but they say they have some unfinished business. Listen to Soul Incarcerated on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Every day I wake up, I'm one day closer to death. So what you gonna do with the time you got left? Big Sean. Hey! One of the biggest blessings is going through a time where you are feeling at your lowest or depressed or whatever the feeling is, because that is just confirmation that you're not in alignment and that you're meant for something different, something greater.
What's the difference between attracting energy and chasing energy?
Oh, boy. The number one health and wellness podcast. Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty. The one, the only Jay Shetty. Ha, ha, ha.
Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed. Three things that are so important to the human condition. Today's guest is on for not the first, not the second, but a third time special. One of your favorite guests. One of your favorite interactions. We both hear about it all the time. I'm talking about my dear friend and incredible artist, Big Sean. Grammy-nominated rapper, songwriter, friend of the podcast, and now a first-time author. His new book is called Go Higher, The Five Practices for Purpose, Success, and Inner Peace, which combines his insights on self-care with actionable tools set to release in January 2025. Now, despite his achievements, he has been open about his struggles with anxiety and depression, turning to spiritual practices to find balance. Through his music and now his writing, Big Sean inspires others to overcome their own challenges and reach their fullest potential.
Please welcome my dear friend, someone that I believe is so inspiring, deeply insightful, philosophical, a guide, a teacher, a leader, Big Sean.
Man, brother, thank you for having me. First of all, I just got to say, J, though, I'm so proud of you, man. Even since our first interview, of course you sparked the idea of me writing a book, but I'm not making it about me, bro. You've interviewed the president, man. You have gone to the moon and back. There was a part of the book where I said, like, the mental health space, and that space is dominated by a certain crowd. Bro, you are dominating this space. And I just got to say, it's deeper than that. It's wellness. It's all of it. And I just got to say, I'm super proud of you, man. Very, very proud of you. I know where you come from. I know your journey. I know how you grew up. I know the household you came from and I just got to say, man, I'm very proud of you. And I see so much for you and you're still so young and you still have so much to offer. So thank you so much, man.
Oh man, the feeling is mutual. And honestly, it was people like yourself who came on the show so early and trusted the space, opened up. and made it a safe space for so many that followed you as well. And so I have to give you a lot of credit back because you came on the show when it was so much smaller.
