Jay Shetty

Jay is an award-winning host, storyteller and viral content creator. He aims to share knowledge at the pace we want entertainment, something he likes to call “making wisdom go viral.”

Born and raised in London, Jay was a shy, introverted young boy who was bullied for being overweight and a little nerdy, but he never let these experiences affect him. At 16 he lost two of his best friends which made him reflect on what a blessing life is. Realizing he wanted a life of service, impact and passion as opposed to money, fame and power, at 22 he went to live as a monk across India and Europe. He traded his suits for robes, shaved his head and lived out of a gym locker for 3 years. He meditated for 4-8 hours a day and experimented with various no water and food fasts to train the mind as he learnt ancient practices of breath and mind control. For 3 years, he helped build sustainable villages, food programs distributing over 1 million meals per day and coached millennials across the world about consciousness, wellbeing and success. Moving on from monk life…Jay began sharing insights on productivity and how what he had learnt as a monk could be applied to the workplace…and now he’s sharing his wisdom and knowledge with you. https://jayshetty.me/
