I learned today that you’re a fraud

[@breadman5048]

I learned this J dude is a scammer

[@longtableconversations1557]

I learned that Jay is on a recent episode of Coffeezilla...

[@aejiongco]

I learned that you lied your way to get where you are. It is all over social media.

[@adamadam6517]

Jay Shetty is a scam. He lies to his followers

[@Lisaruthdecker.]

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[@spacecadet6]

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .

[@noah-greene]

Exactly ! That's my major concern and what lucrative investment can one venture into with the current rise in economic downturn

[@emmaarmando]

In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2020, but by the end of 2023, I had made a profit of almost $750k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.

[@LuccaWeber1]

@@emmaarmandowho is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@emmaarmando]

‘Gertrude Margaret Quinto’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@boitumelomolete5548]

I will never get TIRED of listening to Robin. He saved my life in 2014 when I was going through my deep depression. I read his book " Monk who sold his Ferrari". I have most of his books, I listen to him forever and I will be getting this resource. Jay Shetty you are incredible, thank you for this, Robin thank you ❤🎉

[@susanmarie2231]

Happiness = Peace of Mind. I didn’t figure this out until later in life. And peace of mind is an individual process.

Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.

[@TiffahLabeeb]

I 1000% agree!

[@henrikelanschuetzer4261]

Very interesting to watch 1 of my life times' favourite with You, Jay! Your interview shows so many parallels between the 2 of You, such as YOU starting in an Ashram PARALLELed by the " Monk who sold his Ferrari" doing so at the end of a glamorous career. QUEER somewhat that all the Male Podcasters of nowadays take their pride in having been to Dubai, Ruled by an HIGHLY ELEVATED SPIRIT!

[@ofeliacabrerachirino4890]

Incredible interview. Jay, the questions you ask are fascinating and Robin Sharma's answers are absolutely inspiring. What did I learn today from this interview? Wow, I don't know if I'll be able to choose, because everything that has been said, absolutely everything, questions and answers, has been like an express journey of personal growth in a nutshell! I have to choose several: "Build your Life around a few things". "Being a minimalist is very powerful"...And that phrase too: "Recruiting a dead board of directors"...Wise humans beings of any era can guide us...Let's choose carefully who we want to listen to!!! "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul" 🙏. I believe that Robin was one of those wonderful ancient wise human being who has been reincarnated in this life to continue his incredible purpose of helping others🙏Bravo Robin. Bravo Jay. 🙏💕

[@haleluyatesfa4015]

Best Podcast 🙏🙏🙏🙏@RobinSharma & @Jayshetty ❤❤

[@edward9099]

I absolutely LOVE Robin!! Such a down to earth, wisdom filled man. I’ve actually chatted with him over IG before. One of my hero’s 🎉

[@GGfacePALMs]

Mr. Shetty, in light of the recent Guardian article that casts doubt on the authenticity of your monk backstory and raises allegations of plagiarism, there’s a pressing issue that needs your attention. Many individuals have invested $7,400 in the Jay Shetty Certification School, believing in its promise of a pathway to higher education. Yet, it appears that the advertised affiliations with universities do not exist, and the Guardian’s report suggests that your narrative may not be entirely accurate. This has left students feeling potentially deceived, having spent significant amounts of money and time on a certification that may not provide the value they were led to expect. How do you respond to these students’ concerns, and what measures are you taking to address this serious discrepancy?

[@shyestshawty]

I’m so glad that someone is speaking about this. I have no ill intent towards him but was wondering the same thing. I like many of his videos..but just wish he was more upfront about this and address this issue instead of ignoring it.

[@rmggrm2069]

Guys…Simply put he’s a grifter who made it big big big, it’s all fake and carefully (kind of) orchestrated, another proof of “fake it till you make it”, he doesn’t have the morality or the qualifications or even the life story to be doing what he does. To anyone who is a scammer, don’t let go of hope, YOU can make it!!!

[@ZoroasterIII]

​@@rmggrm2069Buddy you don't seem to realise that we don't care. Sure Jay made some mistakes in his early days. And? He's been creating tons of his own content and millions of us can testify to that. Good luck with your quest though. 😊

[@GGfacePALMs]

@@ZoroasterIII It’s not about whether his content is original or not. And it’s not about his past. It’s about the present. If you don’t understand why some of consider it bad behaviour, please see the recent video by coffeezilla on his secondary channel. You’ll realise that Jay lies till today. He doesn’t practice what he preaches. And that says it all.

[@yomi5499]

@@ZoroasterIII a morally deranged individual following a fake guru knowing is fake and lies but doesn't care cause he has money... oh the decline of human race is amusing sometimes...

[@junecarter9330]

This really moved me. I had a difficult time articulating the transformation that was happening during my isolation and lost a couple of long term friendships who thought I was being selfish or fake. This conversation confirmed that selective socialization, without judgement but with self awareness and emotional intelligence was definitely the right decision for me. Knowing that it’s difficult to admit that some people are in my life for a reason, season or a lifetime. With no love lost or any hate gained. I am very grateful for this.

For me, I've always been happy with just enough to cover my basic needs. I've never had the desire to make tons of money but am just grateful for having what I need. It's much more freeing than wanting lots of possessions.

How to reach your Dreams? Awnser in the podcast juste start... however my issue is not to start, it is to keep up in time the steps and habits for that Dream (health, Fitness, relations). I habe defined my why however I find myself starting at zero over and over again. Any podcast planned on this in the future?

I really do not like being around negative people, I will excuse myself from the place or area.

[@darkfate666]

Yet, you listen to the podcast of a charlatan and a plagiarist. 🤔

[@aejiongco]

When you’re tuning into podcasters, whether it's Jay Shetty or Andrew Huberman, it’s easy to get caught up in their charisma and the stories they tell. But hey, we've seen that things aren’t always as they're pitched to us. Just like with Shetty's bio hiccups and the stir around Huberman, it’s a wake-up call to do our own homework. It’s smart to listen, learn, and even get inspired, but let’s not forget to peel back the layers and think for ourselves. These voices have their place, but it’s our job to keep a clear head and a sharp eye on the reality behind the reputation.

[@withdaryl6144]

[@GarrettAvery108]

Dear Jay, please step out in front of the allegations about misrepresenting your past. It feels like your heart is in the right place and you may have massaged the facts of your origin story for understandable reasons. You've always said you're not perfect - just say it one more time and move forward. I'm pulling for you brother ❤

[@gulayaslan9713]

I love it when the 2 men you most respect as a teacher confirms that what you are thinking and doing in your own life is right. Especially the one about loving your closest from afar when they don't support you, your ideas, projects or future visions. I always struggled with that until the boundaries were set.

The point about money being a servant, not a master, is spot on. A practical tip for entrepreneurs is to automate your savings and investments. This way, you're consistently building wealth without it occupying your daily thoughts, allowing you to focus on growth and innovation.

The only way to start is to start!! 🙌🏽
