JOHN LEGEND'S EYE OPENING Speech On How To Manifest ABUNDANCE & HAPPINESS | Jay Shetty

Today, I talk to the one and only John Legend.

John openly shares his amazing journey as a songwriter, singer, and family man. We start the conversation with his childhood - from growing up in a Christina home, being homeschooled to transitioning into a public school and the challenges that come with it. Next, we dive deep into how community support plays a huge role in molding children outside of the home, the value of knowing what you want in life and finding the means to attain it and sticking to it, and the relentless pursuit of a career and build a family where love, care, and a safe space is prioritized.

The hurdles may have been tough and the path may be unclear at some point, but John’s story is telling us to believe in what we can do and remain passionate about the things we love to do.

It is so reassuring to see shared masculine energy take such a deep, vulnerable approach to our individual and shared social emotional awareness. One of the best episodes yet!

[juanyfuentes]

"Let yout broken heart learn to live in pieces" such beautiful and powerful words.

[lunaraucheeva]

"I don't want to get divorced "- he is such a stable and reliable man

[mirandag]

Great interview John voice is so soothing I love the conversation they had I hope he interviews saweetie next because she is all about health and wellness she’s really into that so I think her and jay would have a lot of great conversations about that please get her on next jay.

[nancyher]

A beautiful smart intelligent conversation all making a lot of sense, more power and love to you Jay, and John and your family's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Am I the only that feels like the title does not gel with the content. Was the title just a click bait?

[tarachristina]

Absolutely brilliant podcast!!!! I didn’t know so much about John Legend, he lives up to his last name.
Super happy his mom is back on track and in school, I’m inspired.
I thought his homeschooling perspective was interesting. I started out homeschooling my son and he was very socialized. We belonged to homeschooling groups and had an awesome schedule with other groups. We went to classes together, playgroups five days a week so when he did transition to public school, he fit right in. I know families who continued to homeschool and kept their children active in social groups and independent classes. They are all brilliant, secure in who they are, and socialized. But not all families have that. It is hard for children that are isolated, we saw so much of it during the pandemic.
John Legend is such a sweet spirit with incredible talent. I have so much more respect for him after this. Love how he and his wife are raising their children, love and guidance. May God continue to bless you all.
Jay Shetty, you have a gift! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

[jhymenaminds]

I loved the interview. I felt like everytime I know more about John Legend, I admire him more. Please Jay convince Alicia keys to do an interview as well

[arvinsenglishph]

He's the most romantic man ever, even in his songs.

[autumnlashea]

"All great ideals don't have to come from me, I can gain creativity from other in the room "

To let go of ego and gain humility in collaboration

That's beautiful ❤️

[ginawagner]

First off, I played this because I saw John Legend. Second, I want to HEAR what John has to say. This should be 80/20 guest/host not 50/50 Third, this video has NOTHING to do with how to manifest abundance! Hahahaha - John is SO smart, I LOVE him! He's so charming and elegant. Side note- Jay Shetty's titles I find rarely ever have anything to do with the interview at all!

[tkiddo]

Love love love!!!! I didn’t know a lot about John Legend, but I learned to love his work even more. There were so many nuggets of wisdom throughout this episode. My favorite part is his emphasis on the word ‘love’ and that just warmed my heart up. ❤️

[anjujoy]

Powerful episode as usual!! 😍 oh btw am I the only one who noticed that Jay has gone through a wardrobe makeover recently?? 😉

[angelietamayo]

This is one of the best interview I have watched because of john Legend. He is full and exudes of love, and it shows that he knows himself very well. I love his love for his wife, kids, his family, and people in general. God bless you always!❤🙏🏼🤍🕊

[taylorsolomon]

You are a light in the world! A true inspiration Jay Shetty I listen to your podcast every morning when cleaning my barn and it is guiding me to greater thank you so much

[kdemiks]

We need a part 2.. identify myself heavily with John’s story, and it’s immensely healing and insightful to learn the fruits of knowledge that John gained himself along his journey.. And great to know how collected and level-headed John is

[ian_man_go]

Much love Jay, I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪

I've been leaving reviews for since 2020 when I accidentally bumped into your podcast, and really it has changed my life.
Im yearning to have one on one conversation with you some day Jay.

Lost all respect for him and his wife.. They are 2 very disturbed people, especially when his wife lost her endorsements when it came out she bullied a young girl on social media almost to the point of suicide..
