Matthew McConaughey is simply the best. He’s so full of wisdom, humility and very real. Loved the podcast, Jay. Thank you ✨ Also, Jay’s laughter is so infectious 😂

[@natashawillson1340]

Humility 😕😕😕

[@anthonygibson5561]

He is very grounded and humble, "humility" is the right choice of word to describe him.

[@anthonygibson5561]

1:07:14 My man is in shorts, reminds me of Kapil dev interview with Karan Thapar.. :)

[@redgeminiarts3674]

Happiness comes when you become AUTHENTIC....!

[@collins7778]

This is Soo true Red Gemini Arts...🦋

[@Rikey20]

Matthew and Jay totally connected...and I can tell Jay was actually expanding his wisdom rather than being the teacher again...

[@priyankaag9828]

I feel and see that

[@ChristianAVS]

Matthew is high levels of enlightment

Exactly that's why I've always enjoyed watching him🦋🌺

[@redfreedme3749]

This interview was fantastic. I've learned so much from hearing these 2 guys chew on concepts. I took notes in my journal for these truths and wisdom b/c i dont want to forget it. Its so refreshing & hopeful to see there are others out there who enjoy asking questions and discussing things about life in depth. THANK YOU to both Jay & Matthew. Much appreciated!

[@burqaavenger2440]

Jay’s laugh is infectious. Loved every minute of this podcast episode.

[@kreativemelanin]

My word , what a conversation! I am feeling so much lighter and enlightened. Thank you so much Jay and Matthew.

[@bettermanchannel770]

Take authority of your identity...create your life EVERY DAY

[@rosannastremlau5036]

What a wonderful conversation! Two men of different backgrounds on the same path. I loved the mix of Matthew's intensity and how it felt like he was going to come right through the screen with Jay's calmness and open listening. And, Jay, good to hear you laugh! Great conversation, Matthew and Jay. Thank you. 💜

[@ad.haring.7]

Love this defining of green light red light. That red light just maybe the green light for your grand and great grandchildren in the future. The fact that it may out live us is just so very reasuring and a comfort to hear, feel and think about. A good thing.

[@nehainthebay]

It takes mindfulness. Mathew was able to be really present and say no to million-dollar offers at hand just to “unbrand”. That a different offer would come was never guaranteed but he knew what he wanted in that moment and stuck to it. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@hettyeleanor111]

Love this! "The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come through any form of possession, achievement, person or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from conciousness itself and thus is one with you who are." - Eckhart Tolle

[@brianforrest2434]

Thankyou Jay and Matthew! I have listened to this interview twice now on Stitcher and once on KZbin. This would have to be one of my favorite interviews I have ever had the privilege to hear. I would love to hear the both of you speak again and continue the discussion on defining meaning and purpose through deep self thought and analysis. Much love and many thanks to both of you for being the great loving, open and honest human beings that you are.

[@DelmaCosta]

Absolutely loved this!! Matthew is one of my all time favs! 😁

Love this as a survivor I believe one must always retain one’s sense of humour and acceptance that it’s the perpetrators who need us survivors land it fully at the perpetrators feet - victim to survivor We Truly are the Gems of Our World… Love you in your Survival, lest we forget ❤️‍🩹❣️

[@Diana-dz9kc]

Jay, I know ads are essential but its so difficult listening to your podcasts with so many of them.. Its really off putting..

[@manda.watching.YouTube]

This is my fourth video I’ve found with Matthew McConaughey and I’ve been listening to them with my headphones while doing stuff around the house. Super inspirational stuff. But this is the first channel/video with adds. Maybe the others had one or some throughout but not enough to notice. When you don’t have your phone by you to fast forward it does get annoying. I’m only 11:39 minutes in and listening to the second long one 😼

[@GotGreatFood]

KZbin Red

[@manda.watching.YouTube]

@@GotGreatFood I have KZbin premium. They aren’t those kinda ads.

[@uknasa007]

agree

[@mr.griftyogaff1973]

You pay jay whatever $ dollar hide they give him for having adds @Diana

[@nance_2006]

This interview is so good! This Interview made me like Matthew more as an actor and a human being.

[@kerridutcher958]

Such insight, loved this conversation! I try to live everyday being greatful for what I have & to keep purpose in my life 💖 The past is gone, all we can do is learn from it. Be in the present, enjoy it. And always strive for better tomorrow's.

[@ireneteran5192]

Hey... Jay.. i like the way of conversation and know about a successful Actor mindset , his thought, his way of thinking and his simplicity... moreover i like the balance you've created in your monk life and have very wonderful knowledge of people.. also this is one kind of philanthropy you have been doing right to share with the world... world need this kind of knowledge.

[@nireeburr]

BRILLIANT !!! Loved listening to this.. on replay while in my own silence.. hating the time alone.. Not sure how to get thru it , not over it. 47 female on 5 th Jan 2022 single & friendships have all gone.. Coz I wanted to follow this spiritual thing that’s calling inside.. but no one would hang out with me anymore.. I feel like I’m 5 yrs old , been told I have to act like a 47 yr old now.. Who taught us how to be this?? Anyway thanks for sharing Mathew and Jay .. Niree 🌻🌹✨🌈☺️💫👏🏼🧚🏼‍♀️

Great podcast. Really hate the constant ads, especially when Mathew It’s being interviewed!

[@elihintz5620]

Looking at red lights as a seed of a green light kind of correlates to how even in the bad, God has a plan for us and whatever bad things that happen to us have a purpose

[@POSITIVEMILLIONAIRE]

Following your dreams is usually easier said than done. A little motivation and inspiration from people who have successfully pursued their dreams can help you get started

[@ad.haring.7]

To Diana: I find the Advertising very helpful and benificial, what he is selling is great stuff and great discounts. And that is support for the podcast...very important...to take a break if you really do not like all of them. Much better then the Television commercials. ( balance )

[@yataavinash9461]

Matthew I love your acting in Interstellar. A big fan from India. Good to see you. Learned a lot from u r wisdom filled thoughts. I remember u r dialogue " CASE GET YOUR ASS INTO THE RANGER NOW"

Jay can you explain life after dead and purpose of our birth in this world? Who we are to decide which is good and bad?

[@barbaradoughty1526]

Well said Yamuna, this is the wisdom of the world don’t be deceived. Gods good and bad count no one else’s.

[@yamuna_rhythmic_lenzzz]

I'm a big follower of jay shetty ... He's my great life motivator... I just confused some issues so i need clarification. What's purpose of this birth in this world?

[@shadabkhan-op9pv]

Jay, i need your help?

[@barbaradoughty1526]

Matt is certainly a great actor, these two speak a lot of sense. It’s the wisdom of the world, is he a Christian?, has he really personally confessed Christ as his saviour. I can not see this in any of his speeches and I’ve listened to him a lot. (Matt that is).These men have the wisdom of the world but don’t know Christ, and Christ himself is the wisdom of God, 1 Cor 1 v 24, 30. It’s the book we live by.

[@loril6437]

Everywhere my hubby and I go out people tell him he looks like M.M. he makes good points. However no matter how you can recognize or learn from reading your own daily journal fate will step in and throw you a whammy. And just go through difficult times. It's inevitable because this isn't heaven.

Jay I love your podcasts but this one has way too many ads it’s too commercialized kind of disappointing it was distracting being in the middle of podcast if it’s at the end it would be much better. Still love your podcasts just less ads please in middle of the discussions would be awesome.

[@rockeydk]

Why so many commercials all the way through?

[@ramom.8240]

Sorry bro but Views deserved podcast of the year *shoulder shrug*

[@josephpurcell4837]

stop selling me stuff, no "Monk"" does that

[@sabrinavoth959]

He’s not a monk anymore. And in order to create these videos with guests, he needs to make a living somehow. Just skip ahead. The content is worth it. :)

[@gauravsolanki4794]

He lived as a monk for 3 years.

[@maximuspayne7354]

I'm sure most people can find something they can use from the subjects on this interview. However, Matthew as much as I enjoy your movies and your talents as an actor. What your saying here is pretty much common knowledge depending how you were raised and what kind of socio economic environment you grew up in. The world is not a nice place to grow up in, especially during the time when some but not all children start school to when they leave it. Parents, if they are there for the kids can provide only so much guidance and understanding. What they are when they start out is not always what they are when they leave it. Not all will make it through for various reasons. For those lucky enough to have wealthy well off families that send their kids to private schools, they have a better chance to be molded into someone more stable and secure. Unfortunately our society is structured in such a way that trying to be successful is no easy task for some cultures. There are so many hurdles to jump for kids as they are growing up and some of those hurdles are so high that they can never get over them and for those who can't, they reach their peak because as you know our society is set up this way. It continues even after leaving school because then they go into the real world of competing minds and will face the realities that will shape their futures. Sometimes its about the have's and have nots whether its money, intelligence, IQ, character etc that enable some to get through it. Its an imperfect system that has existed as long as mankind has been on the earth. This is the problem with mankind and people in general. Those with power and money whether it be political or corporate. They are the ones who play a big role in the way our society functions as a people. It's not a totally bad thing but it is what it is and will always be that way.

[@ZeroBloodGaming]

The hardest thing a small youtuber can feel is when you wake up in the morning and nothing has changed on your channel. its always been my childhood dream to become a youtuber. the videoes uploaded by this creators makes me strong and gives me motivation to make my own videos. Sadly enough i had a really hard time and ran away from home with nothing anymore . i have nothing left.I Had to build it all up again and after 5 years im back. and so much more motivated.Trying to Work very hard to have my own house my own computer and a editing software and play games... I am a casual gamer.. Just being able to edit makes me feel so satisfyed and proud. Even tho i got no viewers and very low subscribers .but watching my work makes me so happy And hopefully i can make so much more people happy with my videos ! I hope one day miracle happens? I will do anything to make my childhood dream a reality !thank you so much for reading.।......

I like Matthew so much!! But your "advertising" sessions spoil this video so much. And very often I just skip your interviews because of that. So cheap and badly persuasive with 1000 repeats of the same word.. i do not respect that at all. Your colleagues do it more subtle...
