Lewis Hamilton ON: EVERYTHING You've Been Taught About Success Is A LIE... | Jay Shetty

Today, I am talking to Lewis Hamilton, 7-time Formula1 world champion, with over a hundred race wins, considered the most successful F1 driver of all time. In 2014, Lewis won BBC's Sports Personality of the Year. Followed two years later by a position in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People list. Lewis received both accolades for a second time in 2020 in a year that saw him become a leading voice in the global fight for racial equality. In doing so, he was recognized as British GQs Game Changer of the Year and Powerlist's Most Influential Black Person in the uk. Lewis is also a passionate activist for so many underrepresented groups and communities.
Lewis shows us a different perspective on finding your own purpose and going after what you believe is morally right. We talk about how even the simplest things can help change the world, the power we give to our fears and how it’s stopping us from finding our truth, the benefits of being comfortable with your own thoughts, and learning how to declutter our life so we can find our spot in this world.
What We Discuss:
00:00:00 Intro
00:03:11 The hardest thing you have to do to become who you are today
00:04:49 How school became traumatizing
00:10:13 Growing up with Dad figure
00:17:55 Success is really short-lived
00:22:39 We often live in fear of what people think
00:28:51 Is it lonely in the racing field?
00:42:26 When you’re too focused on one thing
00:44:24 Being comfortable with your own thoughts
00:48:58 Mission 44
00:50:38 Learning to be selfless
00:55:17 Trying to be better everyday
01:01:14 Lewis on Fast Five

I'm white, female, from Fargo (USA) where there weren't black people growing up so I struggle to understand how people can be bigoted. But I still appreciate your message and admire your compassion, tenacity, and learned wisdom. It is heartbreaking to hear how you were mistreated. As a mother, I want to scoop you up and hug you until your spirit rests. Fortunately, it sounds as tho your own mother provides such comfort for you. Being new to F1, just three years, I admire how you remain humble and stay on the higher ground. Your parents raised you well - and - more importantly, you were teachable and receptive. Keep up the good work, Sir Lewis.

Fear.....thank you so much for raising this. You have more to lose (materially and status-wise) than most, yet you stepped up and you stepped out. 'Risk it all'. Lewis, you mentioned that we do not have long on this planet, I hear you. The journey moves so swiftly (especially when we are having an amazing time riding that wave) and before we know it, we are out the door. Also, life is uncertain. Thank you for doing this NOW. Because we do not know what is around the corner for us, so what you have recorded / written / said / promoted is saved, locked down for the future generations to relate to. I'm listening to you and I feel you brother, spiritually. You never stayed victim. You never stayed 'down'. Just because you are successful in this world you are not imprisoned by this success which has allowed you to live freely, mind, body and soul. Thank you so much.

In terms of Lewis's mentality, that is where he excels over the vast majority or his peers.

Amazing and inspiring.

Lewis is the most inspiring athlete of all time to me. When I struggle (and I struggle a lot), I think of what he would do and what he would say, and that gives me the kick I need to keep fighting. He is the best driver of all time, but he is also so much more than that. By his own effort, he managed to get all the way to the top, and - despite all the issues of his team at the moment - he will soon be the undisputed king of F1 by winning that eighth title. Because when you know his mindset, you know that he will not stop until he gets what he wants, regardless of the odds. I would wish him the best of luck, but I already know he doesn't need it ;)

What a powerful light! The focus he has into his life,the journey he went through since childhood! The respect,self control,self discipline,love, spiritual support,etc, etc.. No wonder he is a strong man that he is now..All his painful journey helped him to be an inspiration for millions now.. I don't follow sports figures, I don't at all! I might know few people,but I don't get into the sports..I feel uneasy how some people make millions of $$$ versus others doing the same equal effort making nothing! But I like to listen their spiritual evolution through sports practices! I will prefer to read their biography versus watch them play sports.. Anyway I was not aware of his existence,but I am fascinated about his spiritual transformation and the powerful light he is through his self discipline sport activity.. As a volleyball player myself in the past,I know how you can use sports as an outlet,to cope with painful struggles behind doors, dealing with an alcoholic family,child molesting,bullied ( schools system )racism, and rape..!

I have a 5 year old son that watches racing with me and while it was and is my dream to race I am only showing him things that his dad loves and watching you race is one of them. I connect with you about just wanting that hug from your dad sometimes and that part hit me the hardest. My dads generation made them a certain way and I understand that and because of that my love is being poured into my son. Your struggle with adversity goes so far and just this week today his school started kindness week. I would love to show this to him and hope to meet you one day so that he see’s one of his fathers heroes , but most importantly for him To meet in person a super hero built from love and who champions equality , love for one another and continues to fight for diversity.

Yeah what prize guy! Hallelujah

[@jackjizmejian]

what a legend, truly one of a kind!

[@NaomiBaldacchino]

Best podcast I have heard! So inspiring! Thank you both

[@juliankembabazi4942]

This is Gold 🌸 Turn this interview into a book! It'd make it to my favorite best reads Of.All.Time! 🍀

[@marshallmarthes]

He's the absolute goat of f1, this is coming from a fan who has watched senna, schumacher Alonso and everyone else in these era and I can conclude that lewis is the best of them all

[@sergiojimenez3445]

Inside the car is hard to see, because different cars, teams and times, but seing the whole package, in and out the track I am agree that Lewis is the goat.

[@SuperShaalu]

@@sergiojimenez3445 I 😊love it when q

[@SuperShaalu]

I have told love you dear a

[@eco_logic]

you obviously have no clue when you conveniently forgot to mention Max the best driver of all time. I guess you frustrated a 17 year old shown the whole World that Lewis is the second best and at them moment maybe not even that,.

[@williamc4309]

He got beat by George Russell though, the first time in a big team..🤪

[@vanhaylin]

That was one of the most remarkable episodes I’ve ever watched. What a wonderful being, his soul is so pure. May his path and purpose be protected by the most high. Thank you to you both 🙏🏾

[@therealquaid1694]

A soul so pure it makes friends with other wonderful people such as Brad Pitt. A man who abuses his kids and wife.

[@HominisLupis]

I am the most high

[@therealquaid1694]

@catastrofy what can I say, I hate terrible people and they're friends.

[@tracywilliamson1052]

Fabulous interview… thank you to both of you… 🙏🏼

[@QueenMonii]

This was great! Wow what a pair, genuine beautiful souls sharing their stories and inspiring the humanity to be better. Thank you.

[@finding.gemstones]

I am looking forward to german subtitles because I want to share this deep moving interview with my Dad. 🙏💎 We never watched football - although living in Germany. We always watched Formula1 when I was growing up. This peace that is in this interview, the spirit and flow is so grounding and giving hope for change and a better future - step by step. Day by day. Thank both of you so much for having this conversation and being so vulnerable and showing how beautiful being human can be. 🦋

[@ANOURUK]

im so happy to start my day with this conversation. thank you so much jay for having this platform and being you. stay golden and amazing. as for lewis and many others you bring on here - im glad to see them in such genuine lights beyond the fame. this is my first time knowing who lewis is and i cheer him on in absolutely everything he's involved in. pure hearts and great vision is contagious - keep being amazing light workers. and to anyone who resonates reading this, the light will prevail🤍🌸

[@nathanleung5592]

Grateful to start my purposeful year in 2023 with this podcast & this conversation!

[@fahimfaheem6052]

This interview is pure gold, God bless you guys, keep spreading knowledge, Love and respect. One Human Family ❤❤

[@AkashSamanta-pp1xt]

this is the best podcast I have ever listened...absolutely needed to hear it...thanks for producing such a powerful content!

[@danielalevix]

P.S. His voice is like meditation. So peaceful and healing.

[@karenlindley9265]

Indeed..He can use his voice to guide meditations (recordings)

[@Bencashin1]

Lewis is genuinely remarkable. As a huge F1 fan it is clear how he stands out, utilising his platform to make the world a better place rather than drowning in the fame and wealth. Truly an inspiration to all❤

[@dogger37JC]

😂

[@user-cn6sh9pm3c]

One of the most inspiring interviews I have ever watched and listening to. I will share with colleagues and friends, but essentially my student. Antje, educator from Germany

[@camilleduquet6012]

One of the best episodes, everything Lewis says is important and valuable. Amazing and inspiring person!

[@casparoconnor6726]

Man I could relate some much to him and the adversitites he has had to face, since I come from historically pressed background I was able to relate and see so much of myself in him. It's really an inspiration to watch him navigate through hardship and still be a Role Model to so many people like me. He is a true inspiration. One day I wish to be like him where I'm able to inspire and help people find their purpose as well. Still We Rise

[@cinthiaduarte1084]

Que podcast incrível, a energia de Lewis é tão leve, e fiquei emocionada quando ele disse "Estou lutando por algo muito maior do que vencer uma corrida."

[@luizpauloramos1941]

P😊😊😊

[@Rikhartpt]

Tem uma energia especialmente leve quando tenta assassinar colegas em pista.

[@kertsisontare5266]

I needed this conversation 😭 Thank you guys 💕

[@rossanadavid3449]

It's so beautiful and an inspiration to see how much he has changed and grown. To see that he has found his voice and his purpose as a man and driver is amazing. To Lewis, I wish you may accomplish your goals with your mission and purpose.

[@troyculture3437]

I had these chills all over my body throughout his speaking. I don't know what it is really but something tells me he carries great energy. I've never really heard him speak longer than 10 seconds and this was quite awakening. As a black person, African woman who never really experienced racism like that (coz obviously I'm in Africa) I was touched by how he relayed his experience being a black kid, I don't think I ever take most people seriously especially Americans when they complain about racism, maybe it's his calmness and soothing voice it's like he carries so much peace and humbleness. I wasn't even looking at his face coz I was doing laundry while listening. Anyway, long comment but I had to get it out. I'm gonna come back and rewatch and if by any chance he sees this, I wish him a long healthy successful life full love and happiness. Argh also I'm putting it out into the universe to be able to nurture my daughter's career the same way his father did for him. So much love 🙏💝💝💝

[@oceanemartinsxo4620]

In don't know how to explain in how many ways Lewis inspires me every single day. He's one the most inspiring, genuine, kind & thoughtful person I've ever seen. I'm blown away by the way that he faced the challenges he had to overcome and how he always turned that into strength, positivity and remarquable life lesson's. I'm so glad for the exemple that he's setting for young kids to show them that anything is possible no matter how you look, your gender or even how much you have in your pocket... When I started watching F1 two years ago, the thing that completely stood out for me was his positivity and strength ! I became a fan because of the amazing person that he was before even getting to know the sport, his records, etc... Thank you Jay for bringing such an amazing episode to us, I've rarely listened to a podcast with such a bright & positive energy !! :)

[@PETERFRITZPHOTO]

This was profound on so many levels - from a pair of thoroughly intelligent, emotionally centred, thoughtful men. Thank you.

[@salevski88]

Thank you J&L really inspiring podcast, bless you V

[@gabygonzalez7245]

Listening to Lewis, give hope that they’re beautiful souls working to make a better world, he’s so centered, his honesty is palpable 🙏thank you Jay for this wonderful conversation 🤗

[@Dmudahy]

Kuliegirl. Dear Jay: OMG!! I am so stoked!! I have been waiting for this podcast before I knew you would ever have Lewis Hamilton, the GOAT and 7x World Champion. We love love Lewis and am so appreciative of your inspiration. When Lewis spoke about how he struggles to be his best version everyday. I can totally relate. He has fought though so much adversity and yet “Still He Rise”. He is one of our most inspirational persons I have had the pleasure to know from afar. We are diehard F1 Fans and cannot get enough of live interviews with Lewis. We are so aligned with his mission. Do you ever consider having just a not famous person on your show? If so, I would love to be that person. Keep shining your light and I look forward to all your motivational podcasts. PS. Loved loved “Think Like A Monk”. Much continued blessings always 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@adambenk0]

1:07:22 that impressed me so much. This needs to be talked about a lot. People these days cant control their emotions and cant perceive others emotions. To stay calm and reasonable is something that most people never achieve in their life. This is for sure something people should be taught early on in their lives and keep the analytical calm approach to every situation.

[@susannaaurelio3160]

Oh Lewis its so nice to know you more. Im Ana from Manila. After this interview, i love you more. ❤ My dad is the same about not crying. To this day i don't cry.

[@raunaknahar4624]

Great job on this podcast. Truly inspirational! Through this my respect for him has just multiplied by a million times, I mean the initiatives that he has taken is just truly phenomenal, would love to see him succeed on his missions.

[@ana-mariacovaliu1376]

it's a huge honor for us - both of you in the same room! The topic and the mind set it's everything - and guys - trust me you're like oil for ower souls ❤️ Romania hugs 😇💕

[@darrenstoddart8673]

Incredible podcast Episode @Jay, I have always liked Lewis but I've never seen this side of him or heard about his mission. Mission 44 sounds aligned with my own mission. From a guy that was also bullied and had some childhood traumas, seeing Lewis talk about that and how he's succeeded is powerful and will help a lot of children. Jay's law at the end on children learning emotional intelligence/EQ as young as possible is spot on. I turned my emotions off as a child, and I'm sure most of us have at some stage. We are not taught about the full range of emotions, and how to regulate them and not to attach to one singular feeling. We can implement this regardless, it may take a long time for the education system to catch on but grass root organisations and families can implement this.

[@AlexrioM]

Really inspiring talk. Thank you for that. & also I'm going to watch your movie recos straight away! 🙏🏽🎬

[@natalierhodes9479]

Well done Lewis on your first podcast, you nailed it. Listened to it all the way from unny South Africa. Wishing you a blessed 2023 Jay and Lewis.

[@catalinamedero5663]

Chills and tears. What a legend ❤️

[@shawnpyle11]

Thank you, guys. I enjoyed every minute of the interview 44. You are the best. Keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys this session.

[@aronTbass]

Such a shame not more than 1.4 million people have seen this interview. Personally I don't like him as a character in Formula 1, but this interview just feels so good to listen. Teaches a lot of things to me and I'm proud to be so open to watch this. Wish more people would be as open as I am to those people who seem likeable for the first glance.

[@marlaka4602]

Such a profound hope that this conversation is giving me, thank you to both of you.

[@catherineennew1021]

Thank you so much Jay Shetty for having Lewis Hamilton on your podcast. I am utterly astounded at the number of successful people who were bullied at school and who are also dyslexic. I was both - well I'm still dyslexic. I don't know what I expected to be honest, but there is so much more to Lewis Hamilton that I ever imagined. Thank you for all that you do Lewis Hamilton, the world needs more people like you. I never expected Lewis Hamilton to be so spiritual too. - great to see. Hope you have a great season in 2023 Lewis. #teamLH.

[@bradsmith7502]

What an incredible conversation, what an inspirational person. Love love love!!! 44 forever!

[@ShevchukDiana]

I felt like crying cause something resonated with me. Amazing human being. Appreciate for publishing this

[@lexonthedecks]

Wow. Crazy to hear this from someone who has achieved so much. Very inspiring to know he's felt the struggles. Thanks Jay & Lewis! 🤗

[@dianamaioru497]

Sir Lewis Hamilton. Knight of the realm, Formula 1 G.O.A.T. True champion and true inspiration with a heart of gold! I deeply respect and admire him.🥰 ⚔🏎💜💚💛

[@sarthakpaik]

i did have the good fortune of seeing him about 3ft away from me at my school in kolkata, india. he exudes an aura of a gentle soul and to see him balance that with his flip side that’s taken him to the pinnacle of f1 (which i personally consider to be one of the most, if not the most taxing sport on an athlete) is mind blowing. goated and definitely a personal inspiration. more power to you sir lewis!

[@tracygiven2984]

I was brought up council estate, gay brother in the 80s, I got loads of stick over this, I was the only person with a dead dad at age 34, gay brother single mum. It’s only now I thank the lord for them times as it’s made me so resilience 🎉. I’ve got through hard times in my life because of my resilience.

[@NaeemSummally]

I waited for this video for a long time now. Thanks Jay for bringing him on your show. Lewis has been such an inspiration of mine and to hear his story, is so incredible!

[@cheicknemonimonitosamake]

The easiest thing is to give up and hardest thing is to continue# thank you jay for changing educational industry

[@faithclifford5893]

I have always enjoyed listening to this young man. So much wisdom. Have fun Sir Lewis...I hope you find someone to share your life with. Your empathy gives you strength.

Love these questions!!!! There is more💪🏽❤️
