Have you ever felt like you were meant for more?

What would you do if money wasn’t a factor?

Today, Jay joins The Pivot Podcast for a conversation that explores the beauty, discomfort, and transformation found in life’s biggest pivots. Sitting down with hosts Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder, and Ryan Clark, Jay opens up about the fear of being seen starting from zero, the discipline forged through solitude, and the inner strength that comes from committing to a life of purpose.

Throughout the episode, Jay and the hosts dive into the difference between passion and purpose, the value of consistency over talent, and why the most meaningful success often starts small. With candor and warmth, Jay also shares insights on love, authenticity, and mindfulness, reminding listeners that who we become is shaped not by how the world sees us, but by how we see ourselves. The conversation is raw, reflective, and often humorous, touching on everything from identity and appearance to relationships and emotional maturity.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Start from Zero Without Fear

How to Build Confidence Through Solitude

How to Stay Grounded in a World of Noise

How to Know If It’s Time to Pivot

How to Let Go Without Calling It a Failure

How to Make Stillness Your Superpower

How to Discover Purpose by Collecting, Then Connecting

Whether you're rebuilding, realigning, or simply reflecting, this episode offers the grounded wisdom and practical tools to navigate it all.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
