Good Morning Jay Shetty
I nominate @tayorockson for an interview with @jayshetty and @lewishowes 😊
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 …
Hey j shetty you should take interview for Andrew tate
@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.
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.
This is debatable i think
@@Alex224365 elaborate.
Who told you dat god didn't create us to be alone
That is hard to say. Not everyone is designed to be with someone else.
& his spirit
He's such a humble person. I hope his success continues to rise and he finds complete joy in his personal life as well 🙏🏽 ❤️
Agreed!
Your introduction for ur guests is on another level my friend … I would pay you to do my intro for all brand deals 😳😳😳
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❤
❤❤❤
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 ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes
Definitely felt that “not sharing as much cause u don’t want others to feel inadequate” 💯
Yes
Lord, please bless me with a man like this and allow me to be a blessing to him.
I just called my dad. Thanked him for his sacrifice, mom also, but she's watching over us.
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.
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!
I completely agree! This is (in my opinion) the best interview that shows him. Completely soul bearing ❤
❤❤❤
Find peace, purpose and discipline in Christ☦️
Agreed!
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!
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…
His parents did a phenomenal job 🎉
" I will not stop until I get to where I want to go " - I love this great motto to stand by
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!
❤❤❤
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.
Thank you!!!
Find peace, purpose and discipline in Christ☦️
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!
I hope you achieve your dreams and that the world gets to see your work in cinemas world wide.
@@LadyM30 Thank you for these kind words! God Bless you!
Keep pushing brotha!!!
@@JoeRamah Yes sir you too!
Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6)
Amen 🙏.
Amen
I absolutely love how Jay interviews people. So light and yet so deep and insightful
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.❤
Thank you for watching!
Cringe old woman
Michael B has such a kind heart 🫶🏽 may god continue to bless him 🙌🏾
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.
"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 ❤️
I had that moment with my son when he said Thank you mom. I understand and I appreciate you.
I LOVE him. Most people do not move this way/are frightened/are intimidated/are afraid/make fun of.This is a re-watch.
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
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.
One day i will also come in you channel 😊
How, are you and actor ? Just curious
@@Ryanwolson12 😊
@@Ryanwolson12he doesn’t just interview actors..
@@Ryanwolson12He or she means that one day they will make it into the industry that will lead to his/her recognition to be invited to the show.
@mphoentlekoalane yea I'm basically trying to ask what industry or is he just saying that just for the sake of ot
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 ❤️
❤❤❤
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.
Jay, you such a master in digging out diamonds in simple conversations. Bless you
So proud to hear his thinking and his perspective
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
I loved every second. Michael…Jay….👏🏽
I’m signed in under my 12-year old son’s KZhead 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.
Love the realness, especially honesty of admitting not knowing and periods of loneliness.
Omg you just made My week❤ with this interview 🙌🏾 😍
🙌🙌🙌
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!!❤❤
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.
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 💗
Omg the cutest pair of dimples/brain/heart combination is on!
This was an amazing interview 🙏🏾I pray Michael continues to be blessed with everything he deserves in life. He is very intelligent and humble 🙏🏾 I really hope when he is ready God will send him the right woman for his lifestyle🙏🏾
I love you jay shetty, you are the most realist i know , thanks for yhe encouragement, Amen
The transparency here is illuminating. Thank you ✨
So many gems in this conversation. Great interview. Heartfelt and genuine.❤️
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 ❤
I just love his humility and integrity. Very rare. I pray he finds love soon.
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!
Service. Humility. Vulnerability. Honesty. Purpose. Beautiful conversation and I'm so proud of you two🙌🏾 Steady✨
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
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.
How inspiring and humble you are❤
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.
So much to Love about this Interview!!
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. 🖤
This was the BEST PODCAST EPISODE EVER!!!
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.
I love this man so much, and his spiritual inclination as well.
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
Thank you for watching!!!
"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
I love this guy. My prayers for much success in his life. 💛
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.
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 🥰🥰
I love you Micheal B Jordan
Loved that he was humble about not being perfect!
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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was amazing! Michael B. Jordan is so humble and grounded. He knows who he is and wants to be a blessing to others.
you are amazing Michael B
Thank you for this interview. I appreciate MBJs thoughtfulness and intentionality.
Michael B. Jordan, your a beautiful soul!
This is possibly my favorite episode so far.
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.
Love this!
I agree!
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
I really enjoyed listening in on this conversation. All cross the board, genuine vibes! ❤
"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.
This interview definitely blessed me 😩🙌🏾 I felt like Michael really touched on a lot of aspects of my life
I love this podcast! He's such a genius, honest at the same time the most loving human being ❤
I just fell in love with Michael B Jordan all over again ❤❤❤❤❤
I love his humbleness such a great person
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.
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 KZhead 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
Thanks for making episode on vulnerability❤
Yes! Speaking on being spiritually aligned and practical matters👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 when you start to align everything will be provided for you when you stay true to the path. KEEP GOING and DON’T GIVE UP! Thank you Michael B. Jordan for elaborating on this💗
He speaks very clearly, I love it!!!
