Since the launch of the podcast, Jay has been on the cover of Adweek and has been named as a “one to watch“ by People.
Jay’s message has resonated with companies such as Google, L’Oreal, Facebook, Coca Cola, HSBC, EY, Microsoft and Accenture, who have invited him to lead seminars and deliver keynotes on finding your purpose in the workplace, well-being for the future, and digital media strategy.
Jay has become so much of a cultural phenomenon that he was even asked to portray a version of himself in the “Bad Boys for Life” trailer with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
Shetty’s book ‘Think Like a Monk,’ which will be published in 38 countries, is out September 8 via Simon & Schuster in the US and Harper Collins in the UK.
