I dont know what failure means
@JayShettyPodcast I live for when my notification goes off because you dropped another amazing interview. Benny is such a positive soul with such fabulous character. He is so right... If more people in this world practiced LOVE and KINDNESS this world would be a much better place. Much love Jay 🫶🏾 Keep shining your bright light, we appreciate you more than you'll ever know. And send my love to your beautiful wife, I'm such a fan of hers ❤
I learned a lot from you guys tonight, watching from Nigeria ❤
Just be you fully. You never fail.
Don’t be afraid to fail
i love how many questions benny asked you too, he genuinely seems very interested in connecting with you and getting to know you more
Yes! I was thinking that too!
I find it so rare for men to actually ask lots of questions! Benny seems totally interested and listening intently!
I learned that you should not care about failure but use it as a stepping stone. That's a very powerful thing to do.
THIS!
*Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Chloe Linda Henderson🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..*
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Chloe Linda Henderson.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
One of the best interviews! I could listen to you both all day .
Love how Benny asked Jay questions too! 😅 he literally got invited knowing nothing about Jay! Love that
Selena is lucky to have him, great interview!
OK, I see it Selena, his soul is so beautiful too.
I was thinking the literal same thing.
I like the way he talks, OMG I love his mentality.
I loved learning more about Benny. I feel like theres so little we know about celebrities and we just assume they're 1 way or another... love his take on failure. Its no big deal...just do it again, find a new way to go about it, or try something new. We all need to try this thought process!
Agreed!
This is one of my favorite conversations Jay had this year. I never knew who Benny was before this beside him working with SZA but I love his energy and his genuine interest in Jay as well. He seems like the kind of person that could get anyone to open up during a convo.
Can’t wait to listen to this. Benny is such a talented and humble artist
Agreed!
I would spend hours listening to him super genius
I don’t think it comes off well in interviews, he is so kind and caring. Through out all the chaos he never not had a smile.
@@JayShettyPodcast. I apologize for not being able to watch the whole podcast. I don’t know if it was because Benny was so young. I have never seen him Discuss Dave and him not taking his mental health meds.
My best friend died this time last year. I am 42, she was 77. We met when I was 19. I miss her so so much and at the same time I feel blessed for having her in my life. One thing she told me many years ago, your best friend is the one you might not see for a year but when finally meet is like you just talked yesterday ❤
This was one of the best interviews between you and Benny. It flowed so easily, like we didn't want the video to stop. As always, Jay, you really hit the mark on interviewing someone whom I feel has been so judged by people that know nothing about him. Thank you both, great tips on keeping trying when you're afraid to fail, etc..❤
Thank you for watching!
The way Benny keeps asking Jay questions at the end is somehow so funny😂
I love how Benny is all over the place when he’s talking 😂 his curiosity is great
Love how clueless Benny was about the podcast and Jay 😂😂😂 his curiosity is 🔥
I literally love Benny Blanco after hearing this interview. I didnt know much about him. Im not a fan of the celebrity or famous world for obvious reasons. Literally would love to be his friend. Totally get the match with Salena. Both deeply amazing people. Im so glad there are well known people with good hearts for everyone to look up to these days.
I think we need a Benny / Jay collab on a track 🎶
😂😂😂
Watching this because of Selena Gomez ❤❤❤
I love this, thank you Jay for bringing Benny to your channel ❤ Benny is so awesome and free spirit
Benny is a massive influence to me, especially his earlier work behind the scenes in the pop industry. Literally the blueprint for who I want to become! Great interview as always!
this was such a worth it podcast to listen to, such a vibe 🤌🏽
I loved hearing how he values each moment. He knows how to live life! So inspiring!
Only ten minutes in, this is my first time hearing from Benny and his vibe is AMAZING. As someone who is only first trying to to get their foot in music professionally, i'm SO glad to see someone like him to be in the industry. Reassuring and inspiring.
Amazing video, definitely favorite podcast by far. Thank you Jay for making this exist.
I love they consider cooking as creative. I always thought that until someone put me in the box and said cooking is not creative. I never accepted that. Anything you do that is not following one's instructions, add your own personality to make you happy, you are being creative. Do you!
THIS!!!
This podcast is awesome but this episode is helping me have less fear to start something, like anything without a 100% expectation of being successful at the first try. Keep going please 🙏
Love love Benny and his mindset!!
Jay, thank you so much for these interviews they are so important. There are thousands of shorts many edited that only give the perpective from the person who posts it. These interviews give an introduction into these humans which I think we sometime forget they are human just like us all. Excellent interview as always.
He’s a beautiful human being . Thank you for the conversation
Thanks for watching!
I’ve watched all the videos on this channel & have learned so much but this video has given me the motivation to start all over again. Thank you Jay for what you do & Benny was so authentic & wonderful.
❤❤❤
Benny Branco has incredible tenacity
I can see why Selena fall in love with Benny. A beautiful, humble, interesting and talented being. I wanted Benny continued asking Jay questions 😂 incredible energy
Thanks Jay, thanks Benny! What a beautiful way to look at life ❤
Wow, this is one of the best and most interesting interviews I've seen!!! 👏❤😃 I even told my daughter about your podcast by far the best out here on CZcams! Thanks again for this amazing interview.
was just rewatching selena's interview (one of my favourites, comfort watch) and got this notification! talk about timing, excited to watch
Wow Benny you are awesome!! This is my first time listening to Benny Blanco at all, and I am so inspired to keep creating ❤thank you so much for this!!
I am hyped for life aka the best part❤ the journey ❤ that’s what I took from this.
I love his mindset like don’t care just go with the flow. It is what it’s meant to be. This was a good one, thank you guys! 🤍
My favourite speaker Jay genius l love his speech very much ❤.
This was a very fun, playful, and interesting interview. I love that Benny was just as curious in Jay's life; it led to a great conversation. I wish you had more time. It would be interesting to see where the conversation would go. One of my favorite interviews. I love Benny's energy.
I so agree with you. Awesome interview ❤
Thank you for watching!!!
Benny seems like a very cool person! Great interview! ❤
Now i know why selena choosed him to be her boyfriend
He amazing 😻 love him
Not chosed it is chosen my dear
I never had a doubt why she did, he’s such a cool dude ❣️
@@Ajeynaamdhaari636not choosen CHOSE!
Chose ✔️
I love the fact that Benny asked questions as well. We don’t often get to see this perspective from Jay. And it’s hard with this societal pressure once you’re known for something to be anything but.
Loved this one! Thank you guys xoxo
🧡That was pure JOY, didn’t know much about BENNY, he is a brilliant live wire, thanks!!!🤗
My first time watching a podcast... so awesome it was Benny. He's an amazing human being... I'm happy for Selena and hope they appreciate each other. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
This is the best podacast i ever watched.❤Benny Blanco
You probably have a lot of messages to read, but I wanted to share my thoughts after watching your interview with Jay Shetty.
It was amazing to hear your views on life. I admire your determination and positive attitude towards setbacks. Your way of loving people, where there's always a story, is beautiful - I'm the same. Everything you said in the interview was inspiring. I love your big and funny way of being. Now I understand why your souls connected with Selena. I wish you both lots of happiness, great communication, and love with all your heart. It's good to have people like here in the world
I loved the conversation between the two of you, especially how he turned the interview on you!!! love love love
Same!!!
Benny is inspiring
Agreed!
Jay, his wife, Benny & Selena would be the ultimate double date! Great convo and food 👌
Benny ❤ 😍 thank youuu, i love your story, so encoraging and empowering, you describe how being joy in everything and follow the energy ✨
Another day, another opportunity at growth-thank you Jay Shetty🙏🏼
You're welcome!
You're a good man Benny Blanco...continued success 😍🙏
Thank you for bringing him on!!! He’s so dope! ❤
❤❤❤
Thank you jay introduce Benny Blanco on ur show......he is talented,funny and gentleman❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I remember being with Pat Summitt, who was one of the all-time greatest college basketball coaches, when she won the NCAA tournament. She said after she said, after having one it six times before, you enjoy it that night and the next day it’s back at working to do it again! From the outside, it looks like you would bask in the glory forever, but I don’t think most of the joy is in the winning, but in the journey.
Gratitude 🤲 Your Way.
That was from far one of the most interesting podcast I have listen recently ! I love the lesson about failure
His podcast is really an outstanding one to be an expert in listening. I have been learning English since for 2 years, and (have) watched thousands of videos in English and enjoyed them. Still I was a problem to understand conversation when two people conversated into a new topic. His channel really helped me absolutely, and I am also learning new updated things that I have never ever known.
Me too
But i started to learn 9 month
Benny is amazing
Agreed!
Jay got interviewed by Benny, for a change. 😅 Amazing men
I loved this episode
Very helpful for when you procrastinate about trying something new and sharing your creativity with the world ❤
Interesting that in this interview, it seemed as if Benny Blanco was the one interviewing Shetty; it just ships how Jay is into himself, because he tried to make the interview about himself.
Benny Blanco is such a humble, intelligent, and a truly very likable man; He is amazing!
I love Bennys curiosity!!! that is a characteristic that is so rare in people who I meet in their later years
i love that benny asked jay questions too!!
Same!!!
Αν αυτή η συζήτηση διαρκούσε άλλες 3 ώρες θα την παρακολουθούσα ευχάριστα .Ωστόσο ήταν λες και ήμουν και εγώ εκεί και έπινα τσάι ❤.Και εγώ τα ίδια με την βιταμίνη d είναι πολύ χαμηλά στον οργανισμό μου και να την παίρνω γιατί αλλιώς νιώθω πολύ κουρασμένη.Γνωρισα τον Benny μέσω της Selena γιατί την ακολουθώ χρόνια και την θαυμάζω για το έργο,την ειλικρίνεια της και κυρίως για απενοχοποίηση που έφερε πάνω στα θέματα ψυχική υγείας που τόσα χρόνια τα κρύβουμε σαν την σκόνη κάτω από το χαλί .Χαιρομαι που ο Benny είναι τόσο ειλικρινής , ξεχωριστός,ευχάριστος άνθρωπος και αντιλαμβάνομαι ότι σαν άνθρωποι και σαν ψυχές έχουν πολλά κοινά.Και αυτό δεν έχει να κάνει τόσο με την σχέση όσο με την συνάντηση δύο ψυχών,δύο ανθρώπων,δύο φίλων.Σας εύχομαι τα καλύτερα ❤❤❤❤❤
This is my favourite conversation on your poddy so far. ❤
Best and most natural episode..❤️
No one cares if you fail. 💛 Very nice podcast. Thank you, Jay!
Best podcast ever ❤ I get why selena loves him. He's the most down to earth guy amazing energy personality 😊
Thanks you, Benny, for sharing your experience of being creative. Actually learned a lot and feel that it changed me mentally to unravel the creativity inside of me! ❤
I love this. a true convo. I love how interested benny is in Jay and vice versa
I love his voice and his persenality....he is confidence❤❤❤❤❤i love him❤❤❤❤❤ Belena for life❤❤❤❤❤
I have been feeling like nothing hasn’t been changing in my life . I only kept feeling stuck like everyday felt like a loop just the same thing over and over nothing changing. Thank you for this video really. I just need to keep fighting for the dreams I have even though I might not see the change but it will come some day .
We are our habits. When you slowly introduce new habits your thought pattern begins to change.
I love the hit factor , the way he said it , the spark
Benny is a wonderful person. ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
He seems to be a no show off pure heart ❤️...great for Selena 🌟
Benny, interview Jay! 👍🏽
This really interview changed my life thank you so ❤❤.
One of my favorite episodes 🫶🏽

I Love how Beeny is natural, curious and sweet❤
He taught me to try something make mess and figure it out ❤ luv him!! New fan.
This interview blow my mind! Love this guy and I understood why Selena Gomes is with him!
Maybe it is not one of handsome guy but his soul is rocket!
It was good to listen Benny
Very kind, sweet guy! Love it!

I really enjoyed this conversation and energy shared✨
Love Benny energy, happy for Selena she choose wisely 🤩…….. please Benny treat her nice do no break her heart ♥️.

This human is very unique ❤
I love how unique he is but instead of trying prove he is unique or different, he teaches uniqueness
Hahaha, i LOVE how Benny asked questions soo genuinely. Came on the podcast not knowing pretty much anything about Jay 🤣 Benny reminds me of someone I know. Also, so similar to Dave Bird 🤣
Ty Jay great podcast😊
I totally see it. Benny Blanco is a cool dude
He is a sunshine

The firt guest who doesn’t know that jay was a monk. Shock! And I love it because he doesn’t talk about the beginnings that often and I didn’t know the story 🦢💗
Loved this!
