This is a 90 minute interactive show where I will take you on a journey of finding, keeping and even letting go of love. Head to jayshettytour.com and find out if I'll be in a city near you. Thank you so much for all your support - I hope to see you soon.

    Today, I am talking to Kevin Hart. Kevin is an actor, comedian, author, investor, and CEO. Over the years he has become Hollywood’s box office powerhouse, opening ten films at number one at the box office with $4.23 billion revenue at the global box office. In 2020 Hart starred in “Die Hart,” the first production of its kind, created through his digital network, Laugh Out Loud, and Executive Produced through his production company, Hartbeat Productions. Kevin’s memoir, I Can’t Make This Up, debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Sellers List and remained on the Top 10 Nonfiction Hardcover Bestsellers List for ten weeks straight. Kevin’s digital network, the Laugh Out Loud Network, serves as a platform for emerging comedians and is home to two premium series which both feature Kevin – “What the Fit?” and “Cold as Balls.” 

    We get to see Kevin’s serious side as he talks about self love and team effort. He places emphasis on the importance of focusing our energy on finding a solution rather than wasting time on the problem, how team effort is the foundation to all forms of success, why we should always consider both sides of the story, the beauty of cheering for others success and celebrating it with them, and how self love and self appreciation must start with you and not come from someone else.  

    Truly, there is no shortcut to success. It is earned through hard work, clear purpose, surrounding yourself with the right people, and a multitude of self love.

    Are We Prepared To Invest In Ourselves and Our Craft For Success?

    We can all succeed together, instead of looking at each other as competitors.We should focus on our own goals and success rather than comparing ourselves to others.Being prepared and taking the initiative to develop our skills is key to success.Frustration is natural but it should not deter us from our journey.Having a sense of confidence and believing in our abilities is important.Taking the time to invest in ourselves and our craft is the way to reach our goals.

    Celebrating The Friendship of Successful People

    It is beautiful to witness the trust and friendship between successful people like Spielberg, George Lucas, and Tarantino.They showed each other their movies and gave each other feedback before launching them.They were confident in their own style and genre which made them successful.Kevin Hart and Chris Rock trust each other’s opinion and story which helps them to improve.They challenge each other and celebrate each other's success.This fraternity of successful people should be an example of friendship and positivity to the younger generation.

    Celebrating Success and Learning from Loss

    We can compete with each other and still be friends.There is a special atmosphere that is created when you are with people who are striving to be the best.At the end of the day, everyone was still friends and supported one another through their competition.We need to be able to recognize and celebrate our successes, even if we don't always reach our goals.It is important to not get too hard on ourselves when we miss the mark and understand that our successes may not happen again.Studies have shown that people who win bronze medals are actually happier than those who win silver, because they knew where they stood and were still happy with their result.

    Achieving Success Through Mindful Processes

    We all want to succeed, but it is important to stay realistic and humble with our expectations.Trying to control the uncontrollable can lead to disappointment and hurt.It is important to focus on the process and celebrate the wins along the way.The success of a project or endeavor should not be completely tied to the end results.Being overly obsessed with the results can lead to an unhealthy obsession.It is important to be mindful of our reactions to the highs and lows of life, as it is all part of the journey.

    Embracing Authenticity in the Face of Fame

    We are often tempted to ignore the mistakes and successes of others as if they are not real life.Fame is the biggest drug, because it makes one feel powerful and makes them think they can get everything they want.However, there is no handbook or guide to navigate the world of fame, so people can get overwhelmed when it suddenly appears.The key is to know yourself and be happy with who you are, so that when fame disappears you can still cope.Being honest and authentic is important, and even when we have achieved success, we should remember it can still change.Life is a journey and we need to take the time to discover who we truly are and become the best version of ourselves.

    10 Steps on How To Set Boundaries Without Offending People

    10 Steps on How To Set Boundaries Without Offending People

    Are you struggling with setting your boundaries?

    Do you want to know how to respectfully tell others about your boundaries?

    Today, Jay questions the traditional notion that a "good person" is one who never says no. This outdated definition leads to a lack of boundaries, which ultimately harms personal well-being. By redefining what it means to be a good person, one can recognize the importance of investing in themselves and navigating difficult conversations.

    What does setting boundaries truly mean? They are defined not by what we want from others, but by what we need for ourselves. Jay explains that boundaries should not aim to control others but should protect the individual from their own triggers and provides practical advice on how to communicate boundaries effectively, suggesting the use of simple, clear statements without over-explanation.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to set boundaries without feeling guilty

    How to NO effectively

    How to communicate boundaries clearly

    How to handle other people's reactions

    How to build confidence in setting boundaries

    Don't wait to reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind—take control and become the assertive, self-respecting individual you deserve to be.
