He is SUCH A LOVELY PERSON, but to RUIN HIS MARRIAGE and HURT HIS FAMILY shows a WEAKNESS SOMEWHERE in SUCH A DISCIPLINED
Everything resonated with me!
DISCIPLINED CHARACTER!!!! I'd LOVE to hear what he has to SAY about THIS!!!! PERHAPS THIS would PREVENT ANOTHER man or woman from DESTROYING THEIR PARTNER,'S TRUST!!!!
@@user-sj6tn7nw6byes! Such a braggart and lack of accountability
I am a kid from the 80s and it is impossible to explain to this younger generation the mostly positive effect he and Stallon had on my generation. GREAT INTERVIEW - great guy
Sad hes having such a negative effect on our society now. #screwyourfreedom.
What do you mean ? Or u just hating
The idols now are pathetic and advocate having pity parties our idols advocated doing it and dealing with it. What ever "it" meant to the individual
I just want that chainsaw he's selling now! 😂
I mean, I could build a log cabin in the woods and hide from this Super Crazy World.
This man is in his 70's and is STILL inspiring so many people! Thank you for having him on the show!!
😊😊

"Destroy that mirror, you will be able to look beyond that mirror, then you will see the millions of people you can help." amazing quote. Definitely the highlight for me. This is the best podcast I have viewed from you to date. Great message, so very needed at this moment.
Time in video?
I love how Arnold kept going on with his life story without Jay even having to ask any questions… he answered them all
Jay did an amazing job just listening! Sometimes you have interviewers constantly asking questions and interrupting. Jay did amazing just letting him speak wisdom!
I am curious if he talks about having a baby with the housekeeper, while married, in this interview? It is not the only thing about him, of course, but a comprehensive interview would be lacking if it danced around that.
hes a washed up hot airbag@@summerintherockies9530
Yeah I much prefer to hear the stories of the person being interviewed!!! I normally find myself having to press forward but this interview Jay really let the star of the show speak.
You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this interview! Thanks Jay ❤
Thank YOU for watching!
Same! I just got super excited seeing this!
Wow what an informative interview and amazing to hear his story online. Thanks for sharing your truth Arnold 🙏
I’ll be back!
Wow...what a fantastic interview. I love his passion he portrays. Thanks Jay😊
The GOAT. This man motivates millions ❤❤
💯
I remember strongly that he is on the side of tyranny. Crazy to worship someone how stand on the site of depraved elites...
I’m motivated from both of them!
Screw your freedom,take the vaccine..... Arnold Swartzenagger
More like the PIG 🐽 having sex with your housekeeper and having a child with her while keeping it hidden from your wife and family
I live near where he was born and my parents also experienced this harsh upbringing... it's incredible how he turned this trauma into a successful life. I am so inspired by this interview… an incredible interview ❤Thank you so much!
Super Genetics + "tough upbringing" -> grandiose narcissistic personality structure (high ambition and competitiveness, excellent acting skills, impressive persuasiveness, outward pursuit of perfection and the best (e.g.: I will be the best bodybuilder in the world) -> exceptionally successful career (film actor, bodybuilding,etc. )
@@aladarnagy7890When AG came to the states in late 60 ties the first thing he did for 5 hours a day before gym was study his English, that's a testament to his prowness for success. Thank you Gov AG
I was born in Slovakia which is next to Austria. I believe that the war affected so many lives and created so many traumatised people. My mum was very snappy, loud, she used the shaming method and shouting as discipline. Her mum was a real devil. She was spanking and shouting a lot. Most of people from my surrounding area is like that. That's what I got so interested in psychology. I wanted to understand what happened to them that they behave this way.
Anyone else binging on Arnold? I watched the recent doc on Netflix and have been enjoying all these interviews coming out. You can tell Arnold gets on better with Jay than the other big podcasters 😊 Great interview!
What a remarkable person Arnold is. I could listen to him 24/7
Such great stories! I love that he still has the radio that was given to him when he had nothing. With all that he has, he keeps it at his bedside it to remember the kindness of others.
He woke so many things up inside me that I can’t even explain.
Yes. That is a great way to put it.
@@sheltonlovesr.8941 appreciate the feedback ✨🙏🏾
People like him,I mean,with this positive energy going from them,wasn't rarity, people used to have more peace inside them, today's generation is just plain rotten, just brats, low spirited,they don't know anymore how to be happy. I grew up seeing people like Arnie, great personality, very dignified,cultured people. There is almost noone to look up to these days unfortunately.
Bucking conventional wisdom, the stock market is currently bullish. Despite risks and high rates, it grows, emphasizing adaptability for traders. Instead of predictions, they should focus on trends and strategy adjustments. Key factors include specific stocks' performance and upcoming earnings reports. For those eager to thrive, real-time data and sharp analytics are critical. My own success? A testament to Tammy Brockman strategies - over 19btc amassed in just six weeks.
Nice info, i appreciate your concern this will help a lot especially to the young bitcoin investors who have no or lesser knowledge on how bitcoin market works.
I lost a lot out of ignorance and lack of experience until I saw so many compliments about Tammy Brockman I have won so far and I hope to win even more, I am waiting for Tammy from tomorrow, I know that it will also be positive.
Tammy is an honest and trustworthy mentor while dealing with others.
seeing this here really amazed me , Brockman taught me on how to trade with her magical signals to earn more profit .
Tammy has been of great support to my crypto world with her daily signals which I have used to accumulate btc her signals is way better than every other that I have used
How to know Mr Arnold is a true legend: at this level and age of his life with all he's achieved and he still see's a purpose to write a book for a better generation.
Arnold Schwazenegger is arguably one of the greatest figures and inspiring humans of the 20th and 21st century. Influencing like no other from bodybuilding and fitness to arts and entrertainment and of course politics and business. What a great interview Jay so many nuggets of wisdom and experience.
wrong
11:50 fun & happy 15:50 kindness 20:50 vision think, sit quietly, visualize. "give yourself that chance" "what do you wanna do, who do you wanna be?" purpose, mission, vision 24:00 Belief you can get it, time. -26:30 visualizing (out of necessity), self successful 28:00 knowiny WHY makes "work" fun 32:10 its not discipline, its fun (knowing why)
Thank you very much ❤
i wish there was more real people in the world like arnie , i wish i could meet him with his positive attitude before i pass away !!!!
One of the best interview, thank you shetty for hosting Arnold... He says... Never have plan B.. This speaks volumes in goal setting.
Holy crap Arnold just described my entire school career. Daydream all day. And I would never tell anyone about my visions and dreams. Everyone already thought I was strange. I wasn't putting crazy on myself. Arnold this is a true story. I was working on a boat with my father and saw an issue of Powerboat and Motor yacht magazine. That magazine lit a fire inside me. It was there annual issue featuring the top 100 largest private yachts on earth. I once said " I'm going to live on a yacht over 100 foot" I was around 19-20 years old. I started in the right direction. With real Life and me allowing the naysayers to creep in and influence my direction. i started following the mediocre rules and not my goals. Never again. What a great interview. 100000% This is a download worthy. My favorite rule is the giving back. For me that's why I want such I'm looking forward to the good I will do for combat veterans around the world.
Keep that vision alive! The passion to give back and support combat veterans is truly commendable. The world needs more of that spirit.
The GOAT comes on the show to talk! Great interview, he's full of wisdom 👏
Agreed!
He has shown us that anything is possible if we set our minds to it and work hard. I'm really looking forward to reading his new book and learning more about his secrets to success and happiness.
Arnold has gone through so much life experiences and he is so humble. Thank you for sharing this.
What an incredible storyteller! He can make a tour around the world talking like this, "The Arnold Tour" :) What a great conversation!
He is on the T when he's saying There is no Plan B because we are all living in the present moment. When you are crossing a hanging bridge or negotiating a steep gorge all you can do is watching your immediate steps. Thanks Jay. Always wonderful with you !
I’ve always loved Arnold as an actor! Love hearing such great wisdom in this interview. I purchased his bodybuilding encyclopedia for my son who is doing bodybuilding now. Maybe one day he can meet Arnold 😊
Arnold is very inspiring in this interview! Visualization and feeling are key, isn't? We should all learn from him and his successful life and his thriving motivation.
❤
Combined with hard work, visualization isn't enough but it's the starting point.
His Documentary on Netflix was excellent
Arnold is a real person, none of us are perfect, but he has a big heart to help others. I am a natural promoter personality, so I know how he thinks. Very empathetic for a famous person. Let go and Let God! ❤🙏🏼2 takeaways: there's no plan B and have pride in how your body looks. It motivated me at 62 to stop and go to the gym. No excuses!
You ill be the winner of the over 70 womens contest Cathy! I had a vision at 21 to bench 300. Well....did that then it was 400 and I did it! at 183 lbs age 29. Arnold came to that gym about 1976 and I missed him darn it. Still hitting the gym hard at 71. Endorphins are the best high of all.
He is & he will be remain my role model for my whole life. Big love and respect for you respected sir. From INDIA, MUMBAI.
I absolutely love Arnold. He's a legend and his discipline and determination are extraordinary.
Thanks Jay for interviewing this great man !!’ His story is incredible….
Great man? The dude doesn’t respect you
Very inspiring! I loved everything about the interview. Thank you Jay for being part of my journey, which I see more and more clearly and am more open to seeing more, knowing more, flowing more. What an honor Jay. Thank you!
Arnold has inspired and to a large extent, shaped the person I’ve become since I was a teenager! He has inspired me to be the best I could be in my life and served in many ways as a second father figure to me even though I haven’t met him in person. I wish Arnold all the best and am thankful for the positive impact he’s had on my life!
An inspiring interview and Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a role model in my life and journey.From my life in sports, movies, politics businesses and now books.He still inspires and motivates me. I read his books 20 years ago and the text helped me create my life rules. I watched Pumping Iron from the age of 14 to 20 every day without a miss. Thanks Jay
Two of my favorite people sitting down for a conversation! Best week ever.
What a fantastic story from an Austria 🇦🇹 boy who become bodybuilder and global star in the world then to governor through his clear vision and thanks jay !
Thank u so much Jay for inviting him to ur podcast.. this person is really my GODFATHER!!! 🙏His wisdom and teachings are never ending.. no words are enough to describe his legacy!!😇🥰
Wow amazing to hear him speak ! Very inspiring and wise man. He is a example of working hard and achieving what you want no excuses!
Sir, I'm your hardcore fan, I can confidently say that I have been following you for years, your videos strengthen me whenever I feel down tq so much, it's next to impossible to see you or meet you in person but I pray that one day I will get to see you and if it happened it would be the greatest day of my life.
What a man! My biggest takeaway. Have a clear vision and work hard to achieve it 💪 👌 💯
Very inspiring conversation! Great interviewer! Arnold is also very generous answering to the questions and, in explaining his way of thinking on how to vision his goals over the years. A stimulating book to read for sure!
Thank you Jay, you light up my day! As a female fan, I would be very thankful if one day you have an interview with Victoria Beckham. I always admire her. She is so amazing in balancing between works of a wife a mom and a successful bussiness woman. That is rare nowaday.
i was born in '82 in Germany an this was one of the absolute best "go big or go home" talks i ever heard in my life the part i enjoyed the most was 'don't ever listen to the ney sayers and if you have a plan b you suddenly become the ney sayer who shouldn't even listen to himself" ❤❤❤❤ thank you both very very much for this Godbless and greetings from Turkey everybody 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️🙏🏼🧿🤲🏼🕊⚘❤ edit: how can this have that many views with such few likes? pls don't foget to like good videos to show appreciation for all the work!
Arnold is a beautiful soul who radiates wisdom, love, strength, resilience in all he does with much grace and gratitude. His transparency and many efforts to make a difference in this world and many peoples lives is evident. Much respect and love to you. Thank you.🙏🏽❤️
He could not be faithful and honest to his wife (and by implicatiion his children). That's the definition of a decent man. So no, he's certainly NOT what you say. That's your illusion.
He’s a flawed human, and has likely accomplished more than you ever will with that mindset.
Mr. Screw Your Freedoms lost my support
@@randallwindleofficial8237 I don't worship humans, as the OP does. I bet they're an atheist hypocrite and reserve their worship for men. (And being "flawed" is one thing. Deceiving your wife and kids and sleeping with the maid behind their backs is the behavior of a heartless individual. I mean, sure, enjoy his movies or aim to get your body like his but worship him as a god. Nope! That's the difference between loving people (definition: willing the best for them) and deifying them.
@@timbo7873 Exactly 👍. Deception in long-term adultery is the sign of a heartless individual. So the "screw your freedoms" and his jab nonsense was sadly no surprise...
An absolute another parenting podcast on the podcast and to figure out a father and parent figure that l never had! Keep making a difference in so many lives Jay! 🎉❤
This was your best interview by far! I can't believe you landed sn interview with Arnold. That's awesome. Thorough, and great questions and dialogue and stories! His memory is fantastic with details.👏👏👏👏👍
i was growing up about 25 miles away from his home in styria, austria. i can tell you that every styrian is proud of what he had achieved. and also that he never forget his home...
I watched his documentary on netflix and I was blown away by his intelligence and the things he has done.
Great interview. As an artist my most difficulty is being confident in marketing and sakes of my paintings. This really helped me to remove a major obstacle.. self doubt. I visualize people buying my work. I have transformed my mission into celebrating my gifts by donating proceeds of my work to many causes.
This is one of the best open-hearted conversation I have ever heard from Arnold. I am so glad I have listened through so much of it. Later, after work, I will listen to whole message. 44:44 This part really moved me.
I love Arnold talking about his earliest memories day dreaming in school, looking out the window. Day dreaming as a kid became visualizing as an adult; an accessible way to get clarity on goals. Such a simple and brilliant message! I can't wait to get the book. Thanks J for the awesome guest!
I have so much respect for Arnold Schwarzenegger. As a kid and a teenager he was just one of my favorite actors, acting in some of my favorite movies. But as an adult I've gained a different kind of respect for him. He's great. No wonder why I wrote a mini biography about him in third grade as someone I looked up to.
Thanks Jay for another brilliant interview. Arnold's openness about his successes and failures sets a powerful example of vulnerability and inspiration. His messages and contribution at all levels. Beautiful.
What a wonderful interview, 2 amazing men with crucial insight, thank you both!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the kind words!
Man I love this guy. Running Man, Predator… his movies are at the center of the meaning of life for me ❤
I love that Mr. Schwarzenegger answered the question ‘how does all he’s accomplished make him feel’ he took us all for a ride imagining what it must feel like to have lived in his shoes. Great way to answer, not just blurt out the obvious but allow us to comprise our own thoughts and feelings about his life’s work ❤amazing
Great conversation. Thank you for the insight into an incredibly interesting man. Such an affirming life story.
Thanks for this interview...one of my most favourite motivators, he is a doer, a real action taker! Love Arnie!!! ❤
I never knew Arnold was so down to earth and transparent. This is really satisfying to watch.
Gosh he’s brilliant! This episode really touched my heart and soul 🩵 Thank you both 🙏🏻
Wow, what an inspiration this man is. Thank you for bringing this story to us.
What a great interview! It is definitely one of my favourites, Arnold is an amazing storyteller, Jay is an amazing interviewer and both are amazing humans.
I love the fact that he was willing to learn about new things, even when they collided with his deep-core beliefs or preferences. And he still learns and looks at every encounter as something valuable, something he can learn from. He is a lovely example of how people evolve and develop.
He was and still is a motivation for people around the world, I still remember Terminator 2 movie like I watched it today and had no idea what bodybuilding even means! But I saw him and I say, one day I want to have a body like him! I don't have his sizes but 15 years later I am still working out and I enjoy every single rep! Great Interview, thank you Jay
Jay, you're truly inspiring! 🌟 I've been following your incredible content, and during a recent retreat with the amazing Lisa Haisha, a renowned life coach, she recommended your interview with ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER on changing life trajectories. She couldn't have been more right; your insights and wisdom are absolutely transformative. You've become one of my absolute favorites!
Wow! What a great interview. Jay asked the best questions and just allowed Arnold to talk. As Arnold, I believe in visualization but I believe there is Destiny too. What Arnold says about looking forward to his day, is some real wisdom. "Pick a goal" is such a great suggestion. I also loved that he talked about his family and the dilemma of being Governor and being a family man.
Thank you for being patient and allowing Greatness to just speak without any interruptions.
15secs in and I'm already geeked for this conversation!!!! Thank you for taking this moment to give to the GOAT 🐐 🙏 ❤
Wow, thanks so much for this wonderful interview Jay. I absolutely love Arnold and never missed a movie of him. I really admire him for who he has become ❤❤❤❤
Loved it! So much to take from this interview. Wisdom comes not only from age but the way one decides to live at every stage of life 👏
I saw Arnold once. Star struck by only him. I met stars, but he walked by me, in MN... In 94-95? I couldn't speak, because his soul is so BIG. It was hard to take in, as an empath. He is love. I couldn't place it, until now. He cares about everything, and everyone. Maybe that's where I caught the flu?! lol
What an awesome, beautifully driven man Arnold is. This was a very insightful interview n introduction to who Arnold is. I love that he acknowledged that he is the product of all of the ppl that contributed to his life n experiences.😉💞
Fantastic conversation, The real GOAT never had a plan b, they grow in plan A through failures, thank you Jay for having him on.
This was so Awesome. My take away having a vision for your life and no plan B. Most Inspired and feeling like you learn something about this AMAZING man. Learning something about him personally. Priceless ❗
This was probably one of the best podcast I've heard. Arnold has been my hero since I was a child. He really gave practical tips for mental toughness training
This man is a legend Thank you so much Arnold! 💪
What an amazing human being! I'm so grateful for his wisdom he shares with us ❤ Thank you, Mr.Arnold
Thank you so much simply loved the way he explained so many complex topics so very easily.. he is an inspiration to millions around the world . Epitome of simple living high thinking 🤗🤗
@Jay, I don't know but I would like to say I am so proud of you. I have followed your journey, and it is so great to watch you flourish. Grate conversation as always.
Every time I see an interview of a big figure on a planet its's so important to remember
Arnold is amazing hero and great inspiration motivated man I love him and everything he did inspire us to do the same and better, no matter where you come from if you believe in your dreams and have a vision you will succeed ❤
As much as Arnold has accomplished, I was fascinated with your calmness Jay. You're always so present with everybody you meet. I'll try to implemented that more in my own interactions.
Man this guy’s truly remarkable. I’m one of those people who have only known him for his name and new things he was doing, but to actually hear him speak-- WOW. I have a funny “Honorable Woman and Honorable Men” List in my notes of people who truly inspire me and to pick my mentors (I already have you Jay on the list actually 😉) and Arnold is definitely on there now. I have seen many of Jay’s interviews and a LOT of people really have a number of blowing my mind but this tank of a man here REALLY blew my socks off. So intelligent, eloquent, classy, inspiring, and interesting! I don’t comment on videos and i’m listening to this in the car going to a yoga class, this interview made me smile all the way through and bring tears to my eyes when he said “i’m so PROUD of myself!” What a sentence you don’t hear often, I had to comment on here! 👏🏼 What a TRUE great leader on wanting to bring political parties together instead of separation and creating division which this world already has enough of. This man will lead his people well. Applause all around.
Amazing interview Jay! 3 things I keep to myself that called my attention: 1) feel a privilege of being yourself as we all are God's in a human dress in this world. 2) No plan B at all so this will not distract us from achieving our goals and/or purpose and 3) Have confidence and clear vision of what you want 💯💥 Love it!! Thank you 4 sharing ❤️🔥
I love your channel! Honestly there are only a few podcasts I make a point to try and catch! ☺️ Anywho, Arnold is such an inspiration to those of us who have hard circumstances... Because I think one of the biggest challenges to making the changes to achieve success is a person's limits... Environment specifically. It's always a choice what we're going to do with the cards we're handed... So to speak. This touches home for me, as I spent many years in really rough circumstances. Thank you for such an inspiring conversation! Much luv to to you both from northern Michigan! ☺️❤️
Everyone has dreams, but only a handful can transform them into a clear vision and, more importantly, a goal and then reality. Arnold Schwarzenegger accomplished this feat not once but three times: as a bodybuilder, an actor, and a politician. He excelled in all three endeavors, and that's why he is one of the most inspirational individuals on Earth.
Arnold deserves a huge respect because he is just enjoing his life and every moment of it. He is one of not many who is truly enjoying every single moment of it.
Arnold is the embodiment of the old school work ethic. He would only be pleased with the best. In the digital age, it feels like things are out of our control so we need real effort to equal real results for us to feel like we're making a difference.
Arnold is a national treasure🇺🇸
The Spirit of Curiosity & Genuineness are the integral parts of what Jay does. Energy goes beyond doing the podcast but doing LIFE while recording a podcast.
I can listen to Arnold all day everyday. What a great interview!
You got the best out of the Arnold in this interview. He went all out about his experiences and humble observations. I very much enjoyed listening to every bit, so very interesting and the arnold is very good in his choice of words, very well spoken. You have also provided a nice background and got the lighting and mood perfect. You have earned a subscriber. Look forward to more.
So glad to hear his stories. I’d lost my good impression of him when it came out that he’d had a child with their house cleaner and then raised him in front of his wife and other children without them knowing. He might have done worse, of course, had he refused his child. Life gets complicated 😮😢
❤Hanging On to his every word… Honored to hear his INSPIRATIONAL STORY… My mom was born in 1946 and she’s my Hero…
Arnold is the greatest success story ever, no second place.
What a great interview! It is definitely one of my favorites, Arnold is an amazing story teller, Jay is an amazing interviewer and both are amazing humans!!!
What An Amazing Interview❤ I learn soo much Thank you Jay. I feel so uplifted n motivated in my Spirit❤
So grateful for all of your interviews. 🙏
Never a dull moment listening to Arnold. A true story of an immigrant achieving the American Dream and much more. Respect!
Fantastic interview! Thank you Jay and Arnold- what an inspiration!!!
