Have you ever avoided looking at your finances?
If money were a person, how would you describe your relationship with it?
Today, Jay welcomes back his long time friend, Lewis Howes, a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and former professional athlete. He is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top-ranked business and self-development shows in the world, where he interviews some of the most influential leaders in business, wellness, and personal growth.
The conversation highlights key principles for transforming one's financial mindset, including the power of awareness, gratitude, and generosity. Jay and Lewis examine how early experiences with money influence current financial behaviors and emphasize the importance of developing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By recognizing and reshaping these beliefs, financial opportunities can be approached with clarity and confidence.
Lewis emphasizes on the distinction between making money easy and chasing easy money. While many seek quick financial success, they explore the pitfalls of short-term thinking and the long-term benefits of building sustainable wealth through skill development, strategic planning, and emotional resilience. The concept of mapping out financial goals is introduced as a way to create structure and direction in money management.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Identify and Change Your Money Beliefs
How to Develop Awareness Around Your Financial Habits
How to Shift from a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset
How to Invest in Yourself to Build Long-Term Financial Success
How to Create a Clear Financial Plan for Stability and Growth
How to Use Energy, Passion, and Curiosity as Valuable Currency
Financial freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing abundance, and making intentional choices that align with long-term success.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

How do you usually start your mornings?
Do you wake up feeling tired?
Today, Jay discusses why a well-crafted morning routine doesn’t just jump start your day but sets the tone for success. He begins by emphasizing that how you spend your mornings shapes the rest of your day. A mindful start can boost focus, energy, and resilience. Rather than reaching for coffee first thing, Jay suggests hydrating with a glass of water infused with sea salt and lemon to kickstart hydration and replenish essential minerals.
Movement is another essential pillar for a successful day. Jay recommends incorporating a short burst of explosive activity. The episode wraps up with two powerful mindfulness practices: reverse gratitude, where you reflect on three things you’d hate to lose, and the first bite ritual, where you take a slow, intentional bite of your first meal while focusing on gratitude.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Properly Hydrate in the Morning
How to Structure Your Morning Routine
How to Build Confidence
How to Find Your Inspiration Habit
As you work on cultivating a powerful morning routine, remember that personal growth is an ongoing journey. Embrace the challenges along the way, knowing that each step brings you closer to a more focused, energized, and fulfilling life.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

What qualities do you truly want in a partner?
Do you believe in manifestation when it comes to love?
Today, Jay explores how you can break free from insecurity and build lasting confidence using science-backed techniques and practical mindset shifts. Jay opens the episode by addressing the invisible forces that keep us stuck in self-doubt, such as fear of failure, scarcity mindset, and negative self-talk. He explains that our brains are wired for survival, not confidence, which means that many of our insecurities stem from a natural instinct to protect ourselves from perceived threats.
Jay introduces seven powerful strategies for retraining the brain for confidence. First, he explains the importance of stopping the brain’s “threat detection system”, which makes us perceive challenges as dangers rather than opportunities. He then highlights unconscious competence, where we often fail to recognize the skills we’ve already mastered. By tapping into this, we can use our existing strengths as a foundation for greater self-assurance.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Overcome the Fear of Being Judged
How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You
How to Take Control of Your Confidence
How to Shift from Self-Doubt to Self-Belief
How to Train Your Brain to Build Lasting Confidence
Confidence is not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, learning, and giving yourself the grace to evolve. You have everything within you to shift from doubt to self-trust.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Do you think your “type” limits you?
What’s one unrealistic dating expectation you’ve had?
Today, Jay welcomes back one of the most insightful voices in modern dating and relationships, Stephan Speaks. If you’ve been searching for clarity in love, struggling with self-worth in dating, or wondering why you keep attracting the wrong partners, this conversation is a must-listen.
Jay and Stephan kick off by breaking down one of the biggest struggles in today’s dating world—the negative perception of men and women. They explore how sensationalized online narratives and personal biases shape our beliefs about relationships, often distorting reality. Stephan explains how social media and exaggerated dating horror stories create unnecessary fear and distrust, making it harder for people to embrace love.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of failed relationships, Stephan reveals that understanding yourself first is the key to finding the right partner. He emphasizes three critical factors: first, accepting the differences between men and women instead of resisting them; second, knowing yourself before entering a relationship, as many people struggle because they aren’t even clear on what they truly need; and third, prioritizing healing, because unresolved pain from past experiences will continue to affect every new connection.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Stop Letting Dating Myths Mislead You
How to Attract the Right Partner by Knowing Yourself
How to Heal Before Your Next Relationship
How to Communicate With a Closed-Off Partner
How to Break the Cycle of Failed Relationships
If you’ve felt frustrated, discouraged, or like love just isn’t in the cards for you, remember this: the right relationship isn’t something you chase, it’s something you attract by becoming the best version of yourself.

Jay Shetty
