Jay Shetty had a very colorful and adventurous life which can encourage and motivate others to work for their dreams to come true. Regardless his young age
– being just 28 at that time – he won third place in the Guardian Rising Star Award in 2015. He won the ITV Asian Media Award for Best Blog in 2016, was also nominated for the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe Class of 2017.
Jay is a Huffington Post featured Vblogger, motivational philosopher, keynote speaker and a ‘urban monk’ according to him. Shetty is well-known as the creator of Invisible World, a short film series on YouTube. Since launching his video channel in 2016, he has a viewership of over 10 million and became an international speaker. He is someone capable of building a community of people eager to improve themselves through mindfulness. Jay has a daily show at HuffPost Live #FollowTheReader, where he interviewed Russell Brand, Tim Ferriss, and Deepak Chopra and reached 1 million people daily.
Jay was a shy, introverted boy, bullied for being overweight and a little nerdy. Tired of being simply “good,” Jay’s thrill-seeking ventures saw him get suspended from school on multiple occasions as he tried to find his identity. He lost two of his best friends when he was 16, one in a car accident and the other due to gang violence. These tragic events really made him reflect on what a blessing life is and he felt the need to find deeper purpose and meaning.
After meeting a monk when he was 18, Jay started redefining success for himself. He now wanted a life of service, impact, and passion as opposed to money, fame, and power. After graduating, at 22 he went to live as a monk across India and Europe for 3 years.
He spends half of his day on personal growth and the other to help others. This included everything from personal and collective meditation, study, and reflection to teaching and philanthropy. For 3 years, Jay helped build sustainable villages, food programs distributing over 1 million meals per day and coached millennial's across the world about consciousness, well-being, and success. After he moved back to London, Jay’s friends from business school began inviting him to speak at their companies as they were undergoing high amounts of pressure and stress. Noticing the world was going Digital, Jay simultaneously went on to become Accenture’s Social Media coach for executives online branding and digital strategy.
