Hi @JayShettyPodcast , I did! Back in 2014 I moved from São Paulo, Brasil to San Diego (CA) to attend a 3 months professional certificate in Business Marketing and by the end of that course I helped a student at my school to deal with her insecurities and anxiety issues, and that particular interaction made me take a different route and study Coaching. One professional certificate later and many workshops and seminars after, I was in heaven working to help people get to their goals. But as a foreigner student I couldn't stay longer in the US due to my visa, so I had to come back to my country. And in Brazil Coaching is a very underated profession, so I had to drop down the career I learned to love and embraced a complementary field. As a healer (and of course after studying a lot) I also had to make another choice - to focus on my financial stability, and once again I didn't succeed. So now I've been working with video editing and I'm applying all my knowledge and sensibility on my work. From assembling the footage, to color grading and sound design, I make sure all the elements align delivering the best content for the targeted audience. I'm not done yet on my journey of self-discovery and success. But now I know I'm on the right path and I can help people tell their stories due to my diverse background. I thank you and Nimai for the wonderful interview. I'm taking notes this time as you brought a lot of content that speaks directly to my heart And last but not least, I feel that's important that you both had an experience with the Vaishnava community and you keep sharing their wisdom through the work you do. Love in Action! Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️ *I loved that part when you said that people are more valued when they stay longer doing the same things, when in fact they should be valued by how quick they leave something that doesn't align and it's not at service to anyone. That's precious! Pure gold 🌟✨❤️🙏🏼 I don't even have to say I'm going to listen to this episode over and over again, right? Thanks a bunch! 🙏🏼

I'm an artist and designer but, like you Jay, I'm very interested in behavioural sciences and psychology. Growing up with a parent with schizophrenia and battling with complex ptsd myself made me realize how important it is to help people who go through similar things, which is why I'm focusing on becoming an art therapist right now.

Jay, your podcast is amazing and a true gift to the world. Just recently discovered it and have been bingeing. There is something in every episode that relates directly to my life. The insight is unmatched. Thank you.
I haven't listened to Jey in years. But man he accent is still mesmerizing like a fine musk. I can listen to him for ages
Thank you Mom for instilling in me the compassion towards all living being, showing me the path of spirituality. I'm going from pescatarian to vegan 🔜 and living minimalistic life. I love you, I miss you 🙏🏼
This is very inspiring as a vegetarian myself. Thank you so much for sharing this.
The speaker expresses gratitude for bringing Nimai Delgado to a show, revealing their current pescatarian diet and future consideration of becoming vegan. They find Nimai's knowledge about nutrition and fitness inspiring and state that they needed to hear the podcast.
All the way from 🇯🇲 Jamaica never miss your podcast very inspiring motivating..even in deepest darkness help a brother heal knowing faith is everything
This was super helpful. Nimai, Jay, thank you so much! I will be re-listening to this over and over. Such a great episode!
Showing up for yourself! That's the "secret" sauce. Committing the first part of the day to yourself and a ritual of sorts that you do no matter what is exactly the method I applied to become literally a new person. Powerful stuff
Such an inspiring topic, especially since I went Pescatarian about 3 years ago and now considering a vegan diet. I feel better than ever and still lifting up heavy weights.

sushi used to be my favorite food - but then i started feeling like the reason why i like it so much is because of the saturated fat content! It was before i went vegan and before i even considered the ethics of killing so many sea animals for our taste habits - anyway long story short it's been almost 5 years that I stopped eating all animals and i would never go back to eating animals again... fish are just as sentient as land animals with some sea animals like octopuses having poetic feelings and a sense of beauty (they actually make their own garden with items that they find beautiful - that was the inspiration for the beatles song "octopuses' garden" ) - and my number 1 reason for not eating animals will always be ethics, but I FEEL so much better not eating saturated fat laden flesh ~ !! Amazing! 😊 Best of luck to you on your journey - like Nimai says the STRONGEST animals in the world aren't carnivores. Lions and tigers actually go after the weak and feeble herbivores of the herd, not the strongest ones. Lions can't beat hippos for example. I've seen videos where lions get out of the way when hippos approach! 🤔
What a truly delightful conversation. Thank you both. Nimai certainly has a lot to offer, a dream podcast.💕

MY FAILURE IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR MY LIFE TO MORE GROW UP. Don't bring failure to be something that has no value, but bring failure to be one of the materials that we study through to get a better value from there. Failure brings out the one who can open my mind to what I face in my own process, Failure caused problems in my head but did not break my mind to give up, failure led me to become someone who knows what I am going to do for tomorrow. Failure brought me to know that what I did was something that had a good impact on me. The heart of failure I weep does not mean I give up but from the cry I learnt that weep also brought myself to walk near what I was doing...
Just amazing. So much in this podcast, I’ll be re-listening to this over an over. Jay- thank you for this introduction to Nimai and interview skills. Nimai, thank you for your wisdom and sharing your dharma.

I am a big Jay Shetty fan and love his approach in his interviews. This interview resonated with me. I was advised at an early age to use my experiences as learning opportunities and stepping stones to the move to the next step in my life. I have changed careers many times in my life but I can look back and see what I learned from each step along the way.
I always listen to Jay's podcast whenever I am doing my work out and this episode is one of my favorite.
Thank you so much for so sincere, warm and cozy interview 💞💞💞
Thank you for my parents as well who protected me in the womb, and worked hard for me cared for me, trained me to be respectful and showed me how to be loving and caring .
So this is my first ever podcast and I really enjoyed that. Get pumped up with energy after this.
Omnivores often feel shamed for eating animals by plant-based folks and plant-based folks feel shame for not eating animals, particularly men (a senseless taboo imho). It’s a choice to feel shame or not - largely societal and cultural pressures. So this is how a conversation on reducing *all* suffering is had - logically, transparently, and calmly. Well done, gentlemen - more of this, please.
First time I watch your full podcast feeling good and inspired me lot

This is such a great episode! I shared it with my kids as they struggle with finding the right nutrition and protein as vegetarians. Also struggling with what to do at 19 & 20 years old and still be happy and successful in life.
Thank you so much for bringing Nimai ❤he helped me a lot in my vegan journey.
This is great Jay. I could relate with both of you. It helps a lot. Keep doing.
This podcasts contains of exhilarating insights and experience of Nimai which is gonna to develop outstanding habits in someone's life. Being an early bird I am feeling glad by listening this podcast. The most paramount insight profoundly hit me is some children turn to other factors which are above their thinking, this reason behind is because the beliefs followed by their parents are not justified them.
great podcast! i've been at a point in my life struggling with my career path and trying to figure out for months on whether to stay in college or not since my major doesn't interest me anymore, i've felt like a failure in the past months and have been trying to learn more about myself in this moment of hitting "rock bottom." But listening to this has taught me many new things that I want to apply in my life and I am going to keep rewatching this and get it into my head. Also love your Dr Joe Dispenza podcast on habits.. it has taught me so much and I relisten to it consistently. Thank you!
What a nice interview. I felt the empathy and sincerity with which he spoke of his journey, showing those of us listening that challanges are part of the life and that it is definitely rewarding to share the knowledge learned.

He build his body for a purpose not only for get an attention from others. He build his body muscle also for his health, always try to keep his body fit, healthy inside and outside. He eats a healthy food, I think he is a nice person. He has a good mind and character also. The way he explains are the same with his reality. Didn't make a fake speech. I really love this podcast and also about what are they talking about☺️🙏❤️

Thanks Jay and Nimai. Quite frankly, i realy can't enjoy working in public sector with the terrible culture system that always destroys my principle. I've spent 10 years for this occupation. Yet, i am designing my better future now and trying not to blame my previous decision.
Thank you from Thailand 🙏
We have the same morning routine. I added over the years 30min walking in nature after meditation. cold shower and get to work. Cheers! Awesome show!
Enjoy the process! The words I needed❣️
I really like the "ESM" acronym Jay came up with. It's a methodology that keeps people from being on the fence about what they want to pursue in their lives. It keeps you from following the customs and ideas that people can put on you for your life that are deemed "realistic". It also keeps you from being so in the "woo" (about what your passionate for) that you don't set up a plan/strategy that allows you to do it for the rest of your life and possibly provide for a family if you have one.
Love this podcast ❤❤
The Iskon New Talivan Cow Festival was the first weekend in October. I love that farm and all of the people there. The food is amazing too! You are so lucky to have been a part of that community. It is in Carrier, MS.
