I think we have all just witnessed a phenomenon. A once-in-a-lifetime conversation with a man who embodies head, heart, and hands. What a gift to this world!

[@josephwroglieri]

I could not have said it better!

[@aura.i.martin3958]

I said to my son, this is what the Holy Spirit looks like on a person. Excellence personified! It also speaks volumes of the host to be able to create and hold space for such a dynamic expression of the soul. I am so touched moved and inspired. A heartfelt thank you for allowing us to partake in this experience. ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@TuaVida-hz3gw]

Couldn't agree more, what a priviledge to witness this!

[@aliciacoleman3403]

WOW! John Batiste has such a strong and clear awareness, He is a next level human being. I had no idea, I am in awe

[@anthonyfox477]

The clarity is astounding. Like no fluff.

[@glenmckerrihan1151]

One of the smartest conversations I have experienced in recent memory on a soul level. Truly inspiring.

[@lucydreamsdp]

Gist of basically every Tim Ferriss episode. Single most inspiring instance of my life.

[@xxmaorimaorixx]

Jon is a gift to humanity. He is one of one, a generational talent. He just vibrates on a different frequency to us mere mortals.

[@Macman-901]

Amen to this!!

[@michaelamidei8210]

What I find beautiful about this is not only experiencing Jon's soulful perspective and personality, but also getting to see how Tim has developed into the person ready for this conversation. A deeply sweet and meaningful collaboration by both. Thank you.

[@leekosub1196]

Very few podcasts are a spiritual experience. But this...❤🙏

[@anthonyfox477]

Coming back here again to say how much I love this conversation.

[@jane1044]

I want to live in the world Jon Batiste envisions.

[@SemedoMaria]

Jon Batiste, you're a very special person. The way you share your art is a lesson of life and humility for Human Kind. Thank you🥰

[@aaronkaswen-wilk-ts2ln]

love seeing Tim standing in the back happy as a kid in a candy store when Jon starts playing. super special moment

[@MckenziMacDowall]

“Finding the muse in the mundane” … this is going to be wonderful

[@tfday]

I don’t really know Jon’s work (yet) but I think some of his insights and observations here just caused a root-level psychic shift in me. Conversations like these are a gift to humanity. Wisdom for free.

[@natinatij]

I absolutely adore this man! May he always be protected! ❤🙏🏽

[@MarijaParente]

Jon Batiste, you're pure light. It's so beautiful to listen and hear about the way you think and create...as someone who spent her working hours teaching people to stop reacting but to instead respond and create, this touches me not just as a lover of art but as a teacher....Beautiful....we are so lucky to have your art in a form that can be shared and listening to you at the Radio City Hall was AMAZING!!!!! xo

[@roviannematovu3756]

I discovered JB during Covid. I also saw a magical mystery tour of his beautiful house in Brooklyn, shares with his wife. It is the manifeststion & extended architecture & interior design of their twinned souls in rare physical form. What a privilege to listen to.

[@Vhybzbeats]

Even the dog was all focused on Jon. Such a great guy 😇

[@Zippermaze]

This whole thing fired up so many emotions out of nowhere, even tearing up. I get it all and it's beautiful. Thank you for the both of you for this one Tim and Jon. Just wow.

[@pamp136]

This man speaks in poems ❤

[@sehoyskoob]

Jon's reaction at 1:01:38 was exactly how I felt about that question. What a great question and incredible response. "We have so much bestowed upon us and you wake up everyday as a steward of it all."

[@ParkHillJohn]

I am sitting here emoting tears of joy. What soul, what Grace. I am...We are. Thank you Gentlemen.😂

[@nicolebray7868]

What a beautiful soul and a blessing to the world. Thank you!

[@0607Darr]

Very likely Tim best episode ever. Great job Tim and Jon and thanks for allowing us all to be flies on the wall on this vulnerable and spirit-filled conversation.

[@mindful.monkey.movement]

That was honestly one of the best podcasts/conversatons I've seen between two humans period.

[@svetagolubeva1986]

I had chills during the whole interview...Wow, what an experience...Thank you, Tim and Jon, and Molly. Listening to you two, and looking at Molly brought me into a truly peaceful and calm state, I rarely get to. Speechless.

[@jayt4886]

I have always been a fan of Jon and, I just love his light in this world. His genius is palpable. His knowledge and connection to Spirit, Humanity and Music is otherworldly.

[@jasperguy1]

Dear Tim, Each Friday, your 5-Bullet Friday newsletter is like a gift that continues to inspire. The discoveries you share always feel like new windows opening, and I’m grateful for the thought and energy you put into curating such meaningful gems. Your podcast with Jon Batiste was one such gem! Thank you for creating something so vibrant each week-it’s truly appreciated. Warm regards, Victor 🙏

[@tarynlaronge3908]

The part when you admitted how nervous you get is going to help me with my performing so much Bless your soul! I completely have that same reaction to performing! So good to hear that someone as talented as you has it too!

[@lweeks4880]

Much gratitude to Jon Batiste for be so open and sharing from his heart.

[@josephendtrain]

One of the most soulful, connecting, present and unrushed conversations, where both people feed inspiration to each other, engage with their full attention and go deep. And the use of silence with so much comfort from Jon reminds me of the Rick Rubin's 2015 interview with Tim. Inspiring

[@christistewart3596]

What an incredible conversation between two beautiful, deep and insightful souls.

[@spuddyflavorman3808]

Excellent pod. Allowing JB to riff sonically was a jailbreak for the ears. Thank you gentlemen.

[@jane1044]

A quality conversation with an incredible human who is so evolved, intuitive and seems to channel the divine effortlessly. He creates through his music an experience of how the world could be. Words cannot capture his vision, ability and dedication. He and Sulieka seem from a more sensitive and heartfelt galaxy. They are both a blessing and example of human potential. Beautiful to witness.

[@catherinerobertson]

You’re so right! They’re beautiful amazing souls

[@catherinerobertson]

Thank you @timferris for bringing this to us all. So beautiful 🙏🌀🫶

[@RGBKM]

Podcast + documentary + improvisation… seems to me that this was a whole different category of product ✨

[@amiralikulov9300]

Never saw Tim looking at his guest like his :)

[@caroleshields243]

A 21st century shaman - what a blessing to us all

[@christenshane5659]

I always listen to podcasts through the podcast app on my phone while working out, cooking, cleaning, etc. This episode was so unbelievably good and had so many layers to it that I have to actually watch it on YT. Wow. Such a beautiful, transformative conversation. Thank you.

[@henry.sanchez]

I listened to this interview on my podcast player, then I came here to watch the whole interview again. I needed to see this interview, not just hear it. Jon Batiste is on a different level. He is an artist with many layers and I needed to look at his expressions, hand gestures, and most definitely his playing of the piano, especially in his response to Tim's question. You can treat yourself to this completely improvised 'stream of consciousness' by Jon Batiste at [1:16:16]. It gave me goosebumps. This conversation was deep and inspiring. What a delight to hear and see Jon share his wisdom and talents. Thank you Tim for this interview 🙏🏼😌

[@graceintheplace13]

Wow, what a beautiful conversation between two people who deeply understand and respect one another. Tim asks incredible questions. Jon answers them with care. ❤ Thanks to both of you. I learned and felt so much.

[@amirnaderi8470]

Offfffff, what a timely pod for me. Been a Lil rattled and anxious as of late and this one hit the spot. What an articulate and warm guest. Thank you Tim for not following the current path of podcasts booking the guy with the hottest book coming out, stay true to your art, we love you

[@Liepa2012]

Love the slow pace format and dimmed lights that allow for intimacy and depth. It is as if Tim has a different sense of wander in his eyes. Not one that it trying to understand the world through logic, systems and facts but one that let's him experience it through surrender by listening to his guest and just being there with their energy.

[@annabel68]

The richness in this exchange fills my heart with hope, it has reminded me that this frequency is what my soul feels and knows is truth thank you ♥️

[@nda4591]

Deeply moving conversation, it’s more of an experience than a podcast! Beautiful!

[@patriciaraposomusic]

So, so, so, so beautiful. Thank you.

[@dreamingofarnold]

Tim you were truly blessed by this one. Then the rest of us by you having that beautiful soul share his life force with us❤

[@sharonleigh-pb8sz]

Two of my favourite humans hanging out?? Oh hell yes! Tim, this was so precious and exquisitely profound. As a neurodivergent creative animal, I can relate to everything in this session on a cellular level. I was crying on & off through the last half of it. SO good. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.❤🙏

[@CrashBoomBang78]

What an absolutely remarkable human being. Wow.

[@AnastasiaPiccoLittle]

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to one of Tim’s podcast, and the algorithm gods did me a favour this time. What a beautiful conversation, so much depth, wisdom and pure soul goodness was shared here. This is a re-listen again and again kind of episode. Deepest form of gratitude to you both. 💞✨

[@Kat556]

Oh my God, the level of depth is unmatched 😥, wish I could have these kind of interactions more often. Loved it, thanks Tim 🙏🏾❤. Jon I have no words.. just pure, intense inspiration, you are precious ❤😅

[@cag1]

I still don't understand why Tim's YT videos don't get more views. Does the algorithm not like his content?! The algorithm prefers controversial aggressive content over non-political uncontroversial, evergreen content. :/

[@evelynteoh2018]

Man…listening to this was such an intricate process it brought me back to now and to a lot of smiling too. I will be back.

[@shannonfrickel3225]

This is so lovely! 🥰 As a lifelong lover of both Jimi and blues, this is very enjoyable and added a little something extra special. I agree with the other comments, Jon is on a very different frequency than most. Such a fabulous human and example to all of us. Thank you for sharing 🙏 keep up the good work.

[@PremaHamilton]

“all that meditation you’ve been doing…let’s see it!” 💪🏼 This is such an insightful conversation! So deep and relatable. Thank you Tim 🙏

[@ZainHusain]

I've taken a lot of notes on this episode. I thought I learned so much from Tim that it would be hard to have breakthroughs again. This episode proved me wrong. Thank you Tim and Jon!

[@evelynelundberg4455]

Another amazing conversation from the best artiste ever as far as we are concerned. the richness of Jon Batiste's thought process is really astounding. The depth of feelings and emotions and the honesty are unique and mind boggling. this is a unique individual who just started putting his mark on th e world;

[@rohineesharma7070]

This was a mesmerising episode...life altering even! Thank you Jon! and Thank You Tim!

[@samtahmassebi163]

this is what makes you Tim! Being able to have and hold these types of conversations is a gift! An uplifting conversation!

[@annetterodriguez682]

Wow! This was a beautiful episode! The creative, the divine all in one. Thank you Mr. Ferris.

[@SamHornIntrigue]

Kudos to Tim and Jon for this transcendent ode to creativity, originality, and humanity. This ought to be prescribed to anyone filling a bit anxious about what's happening in our world right now. Their exchange s a testimony to our resilient human spirt and to the transcendent nature of humanKIND.

[@jakehollenbeck9732]

I’ve listened through this twice now. That opening “coming up” section gives me chills every time 😌 58:17 “the texture”

[@alexisjustis3140]

Jon, the oracle 💫

[@amypotozkin7063]

Exceptional. Beyond words.

[@weaponizedturtle1270]

That is an infinitely better opening to your podcasts than what you’ve tried before

[@sharayahsunshine11]

I really enjoyed this conversation. There's something about people who are thoroughly inside their authenticity that I so admire.

[@Jventuring]

Jon makes music into a lifeform that feels like we can interact with it on a deeply personal level. Like a sage passing wisdom onto us we can't even understand. But we can feel the words resonating deep within us. Connecting us to our heart.

[@AminaGoodwinMD]

Totally, totally LOVED this episode!!! Tim mentioned his episode with Jaime Foxx and that was another fantastic episode. Both were similarly AMAZING! I only discovered Jon Batiste a few weeks ago but what a multitalented man and seemingly beautiful soul!!

[@gregjosephson]

oooh wow .. thank you . such a rich pleasure to hear actual fresh soul mending wisdom in an era of Kardashians ...... thank you Tim !!!! I just released how starved I am (34 mins got me swooning fellas !! beautiful )

[@huttmannb]

One of the best. This is what it sounds and looks like to have spiritual clarity : "Take your time to find the prize." "Own what you've been given." BL: In life, there is so much to be said for thinking about, finding, and then investing time on doing what you're built to do (The Gift).

[@eveyoungdale9625]

To go from brilliance to illumination for all, and to connect art to a path to life was so helpful and a true blessing. A gift being given and so gratefully received and needed. Mahalo nui loa.

[@jenniferbank1396]

“How do you find the muse in the mundane?” Just began this podcast and feel like my mind was given carter blanche at a gem store.

[@LeslieNicole]

Thank you for this moving, deep, magical interview. It is a privilege to pull up a chair (virtually) to experience this inspiring creation of a very real manifestation of energy and sharing. Jon Batiste has been on my radar a lot lately as an extremely talented and accomplished artist living from a unique and authentic place. Tim, you asked questions and made comments that both allowed Jon to naturally share and to bring out even more. The piano jam at the end brought tears to my eyes.

[@romashule]

Jokes aside guys. This is the best TF episode I've ever seen/heard. Funny that I came here with no exceptions whatsoever. But my eyes became "shamefully" moist twice. And this music peace at the end... I was definitely not prepared for this.

[@annetterodriguez682]

Enjoyed this so much. 🙏🏽✨

[@nancysmith3400]

Thats for bring the magical, transcendent realm into this world of form !!!💜✨🩵🙏🤗

[@AlexaJanell]

Wow!! Watched the entire thing and I feel so honored to have witnessed this intimate and powerful conversation 💗

[@karl_wiley]

I agree with another commenter that it’s very confusing why the views are lower, especially when the audio points the listener towards the video. The small/medium sized company I work for introduces new employees by asking a few questions, one is their favorite podcast (or a good show/book/etc)… I predate this new question but when I reflect on it I always come back to The Tim Ferris Show. I listen to A LOT of podcasts (trying to slim down my intake and be intentional about books and a good input diet) and they’re all high quality interviews with amazing guests. What sets Tim apart is the precision-like quality of his question asking. As a long-time listener it’s a joy to watch the improvement and dedication he’s taken towards becoming close enough to the interview guest that they feel comfortable sharing deeper insights. Cal Fussman is one of my favorite episodes (ep 1) and I believe that’s who inspired that particular skill. The breadth of guest quality and timeless wisdom to be gained is refreshing in a time when most guests do their podcast circuit, promote their book, and spout out their story and light gloss of insight or opinion about topics du jour. Love you Tim. Keep it up. Also, props to Jon for my favorite response to the billboard question and soulful gems dropped. Beautiful interview.

[@Macman-901]

I am so grateful for Tim and Jon. They are both feeding my soul frequently ❤ 🙏

[@silvielemuzic6952]

Divine masculine embodied in both, amplified exponentially . LOOOOoooove expressed! Oh - I am so grateful. What a gift to witness you and feel you together. Whaaaauuuwwwh!

[@juliehutchison4313]

Thanks, Tim for going more spiritual! Amazing episode.✨

[@trelium888]

I needed to hear this. My soul was craving real inspiration.

[@JhonykaesemodelPontes]

What a beautiful mind.

[@daniel23554]

Wow! What a brilliant conversation! Worth digesting over several days or nights. Thank you Jon and Tim!

[@bazimyan]

This podcast was awesome. I'll have to check out more of Jon and his work

[@andreasxenofontos4014]

Incredible episode, especially toward the end. Jon’s description of how improvisation influences his composition was eye-opening and truly fascinating.

[@kealiilomalanzilotti635]

Brilliant, inspiring conversation filled with so much to think about. I especially appreciated how well you both listened to each other, and the sensitivity of you dog when Jon was in a raw place.

[@juliazhu9781]

Wow!!! That is wow! Tim, so glad to see how happy you are !

[@jeannejessup649]

I'm speechless.

[@adolfosabino]

This is one I'm gonna listen to again, for sure. Thanks

[@ron.hubbard]

This interview feels different than Tim's other podcasts. Looks like the time off this summer has done Tim well. Way to level things up!

[@extremeintelligence]

This conversation had so much heart! My favourite episode so far.

[@jonlent9052]

Thank you for the video !!! Keep filming your podcasts!
