Marc Randolph: ON Co-Founding Netflix & Staying Happily Married for Over 30 Years

Money doesn’t define you, it reveals what you value, what you understand, and whether your choices are leading to freedom or confinement.

 

Jay sits down once again with entrepreneur and financial educator Jaspreet Singh for a comprehensive conversation about money, mindset, and the systems that quietly shape our financial realities. Jay opens up about how success, comparison, and social pressure distort our relationship with wealth, while Jaspreet challenges the idea that financial struggle is purely personal failure. Together, they unpack why so many people work hard yet feel stuck, caught in a cycle they were never taught how to escape, and why the first step to financial freedom isn’t earning more, but really understanding the rules of money.

 

Jay and Jaspreet lay out a clear, practical framework for building financial stability, from redefining money as a tool rather than a measure of self-worth, to understanding debt, investing, and the habits that keep people broke. Jaspreet breaks down complex ideas into simple, actionable steps, emphasizing the importance of having emergency savings, intentional spending, and long-term ownership over short-term appearances.

 

Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is accelerating inequality between those who understand it and those who ignore it, and why learning to use AI is becoming essential across every industry. Rather than chasing fast money or quick wins, they encourage listeners to focus on education, adaptability, and patience, building systems that serve their values, protect their families, and create lasting impact.

 

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Break the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle

How to Treat Money as a Tool, Not Your Identity

How to Build a $2,000 Safety Net Fast

How to Separate Spending, Saving, and Investing

How to Use AI to Get Ahead at Work and in Business

How to Build Wealth Without Chasing Fast Money

 

If money has ever felt overwhelming, confusing, or out of reach, this is your reminder that nothing is “wrong” with you, you were simply never taught the rules. Small decisions, repeated consistently, have the power to change not just your finances, but the way you see your future.

Jaspreet Singh: Why Most People Stay Broke (Follow THIS 7-Step System to FINALLY Stop Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck!)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/44955103-3d88-42f3-af03-b3d70089977a/transcript

Real change doesn’t happen all at once, It’s built through quiet, repeated choices most people never notice. In this episode, Jay challenges the idea that transformation requires motivation or perfect timing, revealing instead that lasting change is created through systems, structure, and intentional design. He explains why most people stay stuck year after year, not because they lack discipline or talent, but because they rely on hope when what they need is strategy.

Jay walks us through a practical blueprint for lasting transformation, beginning with reshaping your environment so the right habits become your default. From upgrading your identity to mastering one skill that can reshape your confidence, career, and self-belief, he shows how small improvements compound over time. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and real human stories, Jay reframes success as consistency over perfection, choosing discipline when motivation fades and stepping into who you’re meant to become.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Change Your Life by Redesigning Your Environment 

How to Make Good Habits Your Default 

How to Use Fear as a Signal to Take Action

How to Break Big Goals Into Four Powerful Seasons

How to Transform Your Life by Serving Others

This year isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about becoming more of who you already are, with better systems, healthier boundaries, and stronger habits to support you. Progress won’t be linear, and that’s okay. What matters is staying committed to the direction, not the speed. Every effort counts, even the ones no one sees.

Jay Shetty

Jay is joined on stage at Boston’s Wang Theatre by his longtime friend Mel Robbins, in front of a packed live audience. Their shared history allows them to speak openly and honestly about the pressure to be liked, the fear of being misunderstood, and how easily we lose ourselves trying to meet other people’s expectations. Mel’s superpower is her ability to choose herself in moments when giving up or staying small feels safer.

Mel shares the hard truths she’s learned about self-criticism, people-pleasing, and why waiting to feel “ready” keeps us stuck. Jay reflects on how constantly judging and fixing ourselves pulls us away from our inner life, and why real growth starts with awareness and self-respect. Mel also talks about how many of her biggest changes came from desperation, not confidence, and Jay reframes jealousy, fear, and failure as signs that something meaningful is trying to emerge.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Stop Letting Other People’s Opinions Run Your Life

How to Quiet Your Inner Critic When Stress Takes Over

How to Unlearn the Self-Criticism You Were Taught Growing Up

How to Stop Waiting to Feel “Ready” to Start Living Your Life

How to Break the Habit of People-Pleasing Without Guilt

How to Use Jealousy as a Clue Instead of a Curse

How to Keep Going When Desperation, Not Confidence, Is Driving You

Life doesn’t change all at once. It changes when you choose to speak to yourself with kindness, honor your needs, and take the next step even when you’re afraid.

Jay Shetty
