Good Morning Jay Shetty

[@user-hs8pk9rt8p]

I nominate @tayorockson for an interview with @jayshetty and @lewishowes 😊

[@deniseh6623]

The thing that spoke to me was when he said that he tried to build teams that are like spirited and on the same frequency! I love that. Birds of a feather …

[@YashSharma-zz2ne]

Hey j shetty you should take interview for Andrew tate

[@trini_t6695]

@JayShettyPoscast For me it was when he said finding myself in a world where everyone is telling you who or what you are and not having to prove anything to anyone. Knowing you are enough. Because I am going through this right now.

[@DIEMPHAN123]

He's such a humble person. I hope his success continues to rise and he finds complete joy in his personal life as well 🙏🏽 ❤️

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

Agreed!

[@kamillanichole8687]

Your introduction for ur guests is on another level my friend … I would pay you to do my intro for all brand deals 😳😳😳

[@itsmebtches1371]

I pray he finds the right person. God did not create us to be alone, but I understand his loneliness because of his career and status.

[@Alex224365]

This is debatable i think

[@consciouscruzz]

​@@Alex224365 elaborate.

[@godwinorhewere8171]

Who told you dat god didn't create us to be alone

[@andrewmcquain]

That is hard to say. Not everyone is designed to be with someone else.

[@ethershakur4768]

& his spirit

[@dwilliams854]

Lord, please bless me with a man like this and allow me to be a blessing to him.

[@TheCultivatedLife]

Sleeping in the kitchen with the stove open resonated deeply with me. That’s right along with boiling water to bathe, lighting candles etc. It’s humbling moments like these that always reminds you to be grateful and thankful❤

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

❤❤❤

[@mechamogaka6964]

Yes, I can resonate with the the boiling water for bathe water. Recently my house had been falling apart and then a month later in College a fire broke out. Windows torched and gone yet no one was in the house. God is good ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ethershakur4768]

Yes

[@SavvyMelado]

Definitely felt that “not sharing as much cause u don’t want others to feel inadequate” 💯

[@ethershakur4768]

Yes

[@LuckyJ247]

I just called my dad. Thanked him for his sacrifice, mom also, but she's watching over us.

[@jkels3375]

It’s evident that he asks God to clean his heart every day so that he can be a vessel for God to use! He gave God his yes, and Amen!🙌🏾 Such a humble spirit ! Oh wow, I just noticed that I’m writing this on the day that Jesus died on the cross for our sins! 🙌🏾🤯 To God be the Glory for the things that he has done!

[@user-pt8my4kx2f]

My favorite moment was when he talked about the ego and how it can get in your way at times as well as the loneliness and hesitation about allowing someone into your space.

[@tammylauber4224]

I am soon to be 62. This conversation between the two of you young gentlemen is so very heartwarming and brings much hope and faith. I’ve watched the change in my grown 4 kids and their generation lead the change in making sure they have a healthy life/work balance. Thats so different than the generation I grew up in. That’s not something we talked about as much. To see your generation strive to take it farther and be the change that I believe our world needs and open up healing for the next generation. I can’t wait to see what doors this opens for my grandchildren’s generation. Thank you for being the change our world needs. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.❤

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

Thank you for watching!

[@MandyShasta]

Cringe old woman

[@armanianderson4417]

" I will not stop until I get to where I want to go " - I love this great motto to stand by

[@luyandaketelo]

I absolutely love how Jay interviews people. So light and yet so deep and insightful

[@melissathw]

I’ve been a fan of Michael for a long time but never felt like I KNEW him until now. And I know I’ll never get to know the depths of his soul but this gave a great window into it. Thank you jay!

[@danettemarie9221]

I completely agree! This is (in my opinion) the best interview that shows him. Completely soul bearing ❤

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

❤❤❤

[@fusionfn2375]

Find peace, purpose and discipline in Christ☦️

[@jaye5234]

Agreed!

[@user-qh3zx3kq1f]

Love how these two men remain so humble yet know how to express themselves with purpose and maturity. So rare to see. Thank you Jay for always sharing such insightful conversation.

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

Thank you!!!

[@fusionfn2375]

Find peace, purpose and discipline in Christ☦️

[@XploitWolf]

something I really liked about this conversation is Michael was genuinely interested in talking to Jay asking him questions back and changing the pace of the podcast throughout. Such an interesting conversation. Had a lot of fun and didn't even realise how fast the time went by. Loved it!

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

❤❤❤

[@imagine6876]

"if you have the opportunity, and you don't take them that's a disservice to humanity." 💯💯💯 Thank you for sharing that Jay 🙏 I feel that ❤️

[@dzifamallet]

Michael B Jordan is seriously one of my inspirations man. I needed this interview and I hope to meet him one day. I’m following in his footsteps as a filmmaker/actor!

[@LadyM30]

I hope you achieve your dreams and that the world gets to see your work in cinemas world wide.

[@dzifamallet]

@@LadyM30 Thank you for these kind words! God Bless you!

[@JoeRamah]

Keep pushing brotha!!!

[@dzifamallet]

@@JoeRamah Yes sir you too!

[@tyreevans5928]

Mike you are one of the most truthful down to earth men in Hollywood. I would rather would work with people that really want to see you thrive in real life. Someone who’s gonna push you and protect you at the same time which is needed in Hollywood. Your upbringing locked you in. You’re well rounded and your parents are because of that.

[@RobynViolet]

Michael B has such a kind heart 🫶🏽 may god continue to bless him 🙌🏾

[@llamallamamoi1417]

When he said he wanted a family … he really meant that…. This man is so sweet n kind… I hope someone comes along to cure his loneliness…. And I hope that person has the best intentions for him…

[@kimbess7498]

I LOVE him. Most people do not move this way/are frightened/are intimidated/are afraid/make fun of.This is a re-watch.

[@nothandondlovu107]

This is one of THE most aunthentic, vulnerable conversation that the men of our generation has ever had. THANK YOU JAY & MICHAEL B❤❤ I cannot get enough of the wisdom that you shared.

[@shondahansen7594]

I had that moment with my son when he said Thank you mom. I understand and I appreciate you.

[@rammz2750]

Jay, you such a master in digging out diamonds in simple conversations. Bless you

[@lakisharobinson873]

His parents did a phenomenal job 🎉

[@mshoopdedoop]

Wow I’m very impressed with Michael B Jordan. So many people only after instant gratification…his view on working hard for a long time and then getting to the point of reaping rewards of it was inspiring

[@felicia4933]

Michael B. Jordan is a person of good character and grace. I love how he keeps his connections and friendships discreet. People around the world have grown to love themselves so much that they are willing to sell their souls and privacy for money. As the proverb goes, a lion does not roar after it eats. All the best, Michael! God has shown, and will continue to show, in his life.

[@toughenupprincess1987]

I cannot wait for part 2! Michael is so genuine and so humble that it’s hard to believe he’s in the same environment as so many broken people in Hollywood

[@b-loved7777]

I’m in the moment of definition so I appreciate the reminder, and I ultrastand the deep moments of aloneness yet connected to family and purpose at the same time. I’m starting to feel that this is an extreme path but the middle path is a path of balance and peace . I think both paths are ok just different. It’s good to choose consciously and except what comes. Life is great joy and great suffering we must sit and witness it all . BE LOVE 💗

[@cwilson9738]

So proud to hear his thinking and his perspective

[@user-bv2bu7ub7z]

Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6)

[@DatsTre_24]

Amen 🙏.

[@untamed3540]

One day myself I’ll be in that chair sharing my story of the successful business I’ve created! Changing the lives of many with their health and wellness! Micheal B Jordan and myself are very alike it’s incredible to see there’s people out there like myself.

[@mutintamwiya4881]

I cried through this, got triggered… the endurance and staying in that moment and not giving up…the building the layers for proper teamwork and being intentional about what I sow into my day…there’s so much self searching and work I truly need to do and this was such an amazing conversation ❤️ thanks Jay and Mike ❤️

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

❤❤❤

[@drkwoods1310]

MBJ brought me to this channel. I love all things in his spectrum. I wish him love beyond measure and manifesting the day our paths cross. AQUARIUS rule!!❤❤

[@rychusmayweather350]

Still listening and YALL SPEAKING GOODNESS IN THESE AIR WAVES… send it, send it! And yes, I felt it. Connection is feeling that can’t be explained, it’s just felt. It’s rare that I hear folks build in this way, when I meet them.. time doesn’t exist.. the energy is moving. Anyway, thanks for this talk. Also, Sea Moss is life and also my business ❤

[@user-cy3se2rm5o]

"You look at your bloodline. You look at your community....There's a cycle there... I refuse to ignore it. I refuse to see it, an opportunity that I had and act like it did not exist" That hit me! Thanks for sharing bhuti Michael B

[@WilliamJEC]

The very first preview clip is exactly why I knew I needed to watch this. All a dude want is somebody to love on and be loved by.

[@belle4978]

The other day I was telling my friends that podcasts like Jay Shetty's one truly make me feel hopeful, deeply aware that no matter where one comes from there is this intersectionality of feelings, hopes, dreams that we all long for as Humans. I loved this, I'm a fan of Mr. Jordan, I wish him happiness in his personal life. I'm Haitian and while my country is falling deeply into a state of chaos, I go back to many episodes on this platform so Thank you so much Mr. Shetty!

[@AlfredNkausu]

That statement "energies vibe"was Soo profound I felt it

[@KarenPAlexander]

Love the realness, especially honesty of admitting not knowing and periods of loneliness.

[@breathejuliet390]

I loved every second. Michael…Jay….👏🏽

[@luckie6682]

I love you jay shetty, you are the most realist i know , thanks for yhe encouragement, Amen

[@michellemunoz71023]

You've done it again Jay! These are getting better and better this was by far up there with the top 3. Michael B. Jordan is a beautiful soul so nice genuinely nice and humble! ❤ this interview!

[@Mercynehema_]

It is amazing when we get to see other sides of people and discover that they are more than what we limit them to be. Thank you Jay Shetty for creating such an avenue where real, authentic conversations are shared.

[@theresafortune8243]

Service. Humility. Vulnerability. Honesty. Purpose. Beautiful conversation and I'm so proud of you two🙌🏾 Steady✨

[@nathanleung5592]

Michael B Jordan spoke to me about all challenges of maintaining authenticity to think better, and jay has spoke to me to find the authenticity at home! The audience loves this conversation. Keep it up Jay

[@JayShettyPodcast.]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@adrianamarie4421]

I’m only 8 minutes in and I can’t finish my burger without wanting to cry 😭 I don’t know if it’s the relatability but him questioning “why” is soooo real. YOU DO deserve this beautiful successful ABUNDANT life YOU’VE built for yourself, Michael. You staying grounded is why you continue to flourish. You don’t let any of it get to your cute big head. I’m rooting for you. I’m also rooting for myself to get thru the entire video without crying.

[@ayanahj]

I love being apart of moments that cause me to reflect on what was shared. This conversation was sooo rich and Michael has such a beautiful mind, and so interconnected with himself and his desires. Sooo moving! Thank you Jay for this platform.

[@Sagepage818]

I'm obsessed with becoming a better version on myself. Being aware of the stories I tell myself everyday has helped me tremendously ❤I will be buying MBJ drinks.

[@josephsworldoftaekwondo5059]

I’m signed in under my 12-year old son’s KZbin account. We watched this video together in its entirety as part of his homeschool curriculum. He was glued to the conversation. He commented on how much he learned about “leadership” “family” and “giving back”. Thank you for this insightful interview.

[@hananenebiyat8280]

I just moved to a foreign country where i don’t even speak any of their language and its been 7 months and this moment ever since i moved out of my country i felt like i don’t know my purpose,i don’t know which way to choose and change my life and your episode spoke to me in a way answering my question about my current situation 🥰🥰

[@learningearning8385]

Huge crush on him for years. This is by far one of the best Interviews with him. This definitely feels like a televised therapy session. I know he went thru therapy after blk panther..but I Hope he has ongoing sessions. 🖤

[@tiarandolph7419]

I just love his humility and integrity. Very rare. I pray he finds love soon.

[@natima_sheree]

Michael B is so humble and humane. I watched this interview and saw Mike B, a man on an amazing path not a celebrity. We need so much more of this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jaemwangi6532]

Loved that he was humble about not being perfect!

[@chanelrivera4992]

I loved the vulnerability and the honesty, he gave genuine and didn’t seem to hold back at all. I hope the best for him and would love to see him grow and continue to pave the way for everyone that comes after him, that was a wonderful interview

[@Sara-qw7lc]

I love how he openly said his age at 18:25. Usually, a lot of us don’t like getting older and aging. But as I get older, I realize it is a blessing to even have a life and make it to each age every year. Jay, I always listen to your podcast and I never usually watch your Podcast videos here on KZbin but the moment I saw it was Michael, I was like ok “🥺🥳🥰🤩”. What a man. He’s so classy and such a level-headed man. I hope he settles down with a good woman and has lots and lots of kids soon. 🧿🙏 Thanks Jay for everything you do to make a small difference in our lives. These videos speak to a lot of us. 💖 27:08 speaks to me

This was so fantastic. I will definitely listen again! AND, if you ever want to see what it's like in a semi truck, you're welcome to join me for a ride!! This interview makes me want to follow you for like 30 days just to see what a day in the life of MBJ is or in the life of Jay is. I think that being in either of your presence would teach me things and allow me to see another perspective up close and personal. It would be dope! It was nice to get a sneak peak into who you (MBJ) are as a person off screen and hear how you articulate what you speak and how you move. Thank you for allowing us in today 🙏🏽 You two are such wonderful beings! I send you both Peace Love and Blessings

[@celesteturner6912]

"If you are unsure about something take a moment." Good advice. Enjoyed this interview and as always Jay lets the person speak their own truth.

[@calionetime]

MBJ will be my husband one day. Speaking it into existence. 🙌🏾 Lol. This was a really good interview. I love how Jay allowed Michael to talk and how Jay basically made it a comfortable atmosphere to speak. I know Michael does not like to do interviews but he literally has a profound way of speaking. I could see him doing a podcast in the future. Great job Jay! Wonderful interview!

[@tyreevans5928]

A great partnership is someone that come along and will actually be a complement to your work meaning not just being their but being apart of the team. Knowing when to step back and knowing when to step up, and not minding that apart of helping is to give distance when asks and understand why without to much push back.

[@calionetime]

Love this!

[@pizzaraia1040]

I agree!

[@dominiquenicole3136]

I can certainly relate to trying to get away from everyone's expectation of perfection. Everyone's human and makes mistakes.Great interview.

[@brandondeshaun7842]

This is possibly my favorite episode so far.

[@tiranke94]

This was the BEST PODCAST EPISODE EVER!!!

[@cherizavanschalkwyk9827]

Something else i also appreciated hearing from him is being of service. I have a non profit organisation called Centre of Hope. I always say to people who want to form part of it, is that they need to have a heart of servitude. It shouldn't always be about what we can gain from the world and everyone, but it should be about how we can be of service with our minds, hearts, gifts, etc to create the change the change we want to see.

[@ejt8573]

Omg the cutest pair of dimples/brain/heart combination is on!

[@BTC_withyanda]

Oh man, getting to know Mr. Jordan's and everything he stands for, of course briefly with what little and yet impactful things he had to share has been very helpful. I'm very glad he directed Creed 3 because it highlighted one of the issues that don't have much volume, men's mental health and getting a little bit of that. It's been such a pleasure listening and learning.

[@nandiphamgidimathang869]

Jay, you have a beautiful gift of bringing out the human in people we simply labeled celebrities. We see a truth in them like no other chat/ interview could do and can now with a pure heart say "I love that guy" because you helped us see a side to them that we wouldn't have known. They seem so chilled and one can now easily say, omw he's such cool people, I could hang out with this guy as opposed to the clichè, I'd totally go see him and get an autograph. We appreciate your gift and your work. Shout out to you and your team.
