Speaker 2 (04:33):
But if I'm by myself and I'm putting on some
of I'm definitely putting on the country.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah. You see a lot of hip hop artists trying
to make little hip hop country songs. Not country music

Speaker 2 (06:06):
You used to hoop or what?
Speaker 1 (06:07):

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Okay, well position, let me check.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I played everything everything okay yeah, quarterback, receiver, running back,
kid return.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Point, who made you stop?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I got a kid out of school my senior year
knuckleheads and that was it. It was it ain't no
school on me. I can go to no alternative school nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh they kick you out the whole system.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I was done for Oh you was wading out now.
I wasn't even wild out. It was somebody game. It did. Okay,
my fault. It's crazy. Well I take I take I
own up to my behalf in it. But like that
specific day, I ain't. I was get ready for game day.
Some people just decided to come up to the school
and bullshit and what happened happened. Yeah, it was just like.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And it was that this is were you into music
back then?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
At that time? Yeah, I was already I've been into music,
so I was like a kid, but I ain't never
really taking serious because I was always scared to get
laughed at. Because like back then in two thousand, I
want to say, like twenty eleven ten, you gruwing up
telling somebody even to be a rapper, like come on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's is still like that now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's more easier though because of social the social media.
Like back then, social media wasn't as your charact as
it was now. So it's like back then it was
way harder you had a way lower percentage of seeing
you come up and be a rapper on actually be
one instead of now you just post it on TikTok
or get a bunch of views and blow up. You
ain't et no rapper for real?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Right, what do you say about it? That's an interesting thing.
It's just the thought from that because people think it's
that easy, but people understand your work you put into it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, it was. It was. I made it like everybody
sacrifice definition of sacrifice probably the same or different, but
I made real severe sacrifices.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Talk about those sacrifices, talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It was like around the time, like you know, times
is hard. I ain't have it like that, Like I
ain't grow up shit swoom like that. So it was
like the little money I was getting this is probably
be like a boom. No, I ain't eight to night
and I want to go to the studio though, so
I'm from to take the lad hundred one hundred dollars dollars,
ain't for the status to get some food off from
the spends on the studio session. Be starving and I'll
(08:27):
go to the studio.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And that's the thought process. A lot of these up
and coming rappers are the ones who are still in
the game now who's trying to make it does understand
that sacrifice?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, they're gonna pick fun over work any day. I'm
pick work over fun.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And hence that's why you got the five million yep signals.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That Joe why and I almost got Dann There a
thousand and fifteen hundred music file sitting on my phone.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's crazy. So you you're originally from Jacksonville. Yeah, I've
been through Jacksonville. I'm trying to make it to a
duke all day? Is it like that? Like you said,
it is do all day?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Uh? Jacksonville could come together when it wants to. Okay, Okay,
it's just come together when it wants to.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Man, Okay, okay. Are you one of the biggest artists
come out of Jacksonville? Nab some of the artists that's
that's that comes from.

lot of artists. It's a lot of arts. You got old,
you got SETI Handres.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And you're on tour with a little little popper right now.
Tell us about that tour? How the tour goes normal tour.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Man, it's like it's a therapy session in the concert
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:48):

have fun.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Sold our shows everywhere so far?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Uh quite almost? Yeah, we know Philly was Philly was
sold out, Charlotte sold out, New Orleans sold out, and
then if they ain't sold out, it's like dang near
wall to wall states.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What's what's one of the uh tell me? One of
the fun things about going on tour, like let you
look forward to I know saying to people is one
of but some days we just don't know about.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know, to me, it'd be a lot of It'd
be more about the small things, like just the road
trips and seeing stuff. Even if we were just driving
straight past mountains and flat land, it's just the sight
of it. Like you know, you got people that that
that can't do certain stuff. You feel me, they can't
get out of their situation or get out of the city.
So to be able to travel to all these states
(10:49):
freely like that. You know, it's just just a blessing.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's crazy. What what is what's one of the most
exciting states that you've seen so far because you've been
there every states, all fifty states.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, almost almost wave before to her almost. Yeah, New Orleans,
New Orleans Field for some reason. New Orleans feel like
home life, like Jacksonville, like you feel like I'm back
in Chatsonvield for some reason. So I like New Orleans, Houston.
(11:24):
I like going to Houston, to Houston smooth.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Houston is great.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
But yeah, my recent though, Philly like Philly, I love Phillies.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Have you have you been out the country?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Nah? I ain't been out the country. It's a beautiful thing,
my brother. Yeah, I got to see what it's looking like.
I heard.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I'm trying to get as much as many black folks
as as possible to get out the country to see it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I got to see what it's like. I hear. I
hear a lot of things about out of the country.
So it's just like I gotta go see for myself
because you know, people fabricate stories.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's a beautiful thing, man, It's It's one of those
things where you just naturally just it's not a front,
it's no cabin. You just out there. You literally get
just be there and enjoy the moment, you know. So
I love I love going to see uh out of the country.
A lot is with some of the represents that influenced
you coming up.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Mm hmmm, uh uh Lil Wayne Chief Keef, uh who else?
I grew up on a lot of the older rappers do.
Like when t I was out a little boots see yes,
(13:20):
Web yes, but.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Not a lot of people don't call Webb had the time,
Rick Ross too.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Who's your favorite? Like, who's your go to? Who is
your goal to? We're talking about to go to.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
As of recent, as of right now at the time,
like I just need to man ain't I ain't lately though,
like for the past few years, I've just been listening
to me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm my goal to. Yeah, I'm my go to because
it's like I could do everything. And once I realized that,
it was just like I don't need to listen to
nobody else because another thing I picked up on as
an artist, Like when you listen to another artist too much,
you start pick up on these sounds. So that's why
I just stay focused on, Like I always just listen.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
To me, right I usually I was really heavy on
for a while, was in me a young boy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah that's the world right now.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But for like like twenty seventeen, I don't like it's
reach to stuff as much. But twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,
I was like, oh yeah, all right, I just put
out I like some of the young guys to some
of the young casts and come back now. I started
listen to your music. Oh okay, I like that sound.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah. I just really just try to you know, not
just stay in one lane, just try multiple things, because
it's up with me. It's just about sounds. Like ain't
all about like it's music, but it's like sounds because
I know sounds can take you back to Tom Stomps. Yeah,
and my trance is ar me and it's just like
certain sounds of algorithm, algorithms take me back to my childhood.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What so tell us that process in the studio, that
process that do you is the beat already there or
do you go with the producer say hey this is
what I am feeling? Can create this?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nah? I just honestly, they know everybody I word with
no my word ethic is just crazy. So it's just
like they don't even tell me nothing. They just send
me a mixture of everything. And then when I get
to the studio, I just flipped through the beats. I
just sent them all to the engineer and then I
just get to the mic and let's just go write
nothing this get busy. Yeah, I just get to it.
(15:30):
I don't write. I don't write at all. It's like
and it's like, now I got so used to just
punching in it'd be harder for me to write a song.
So it's just like now I'm just in the process
of balancing the two.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay, any special collabo's that you're looking for, like if
it's if it's three artists dead or alive. Ain't there
out the game that you would love to work with?
Who would be.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Juice World? I would loved to work with Juice World.
I used to listen to Juice World. I like, hmm,
that's really about it. I know if we go legends though,
I Wayne for sure that'd be definitely. That's like a
number one Wayne Juice World. And if I want to
(16:23):
go old school, I'll do something with MG and a ball.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh yeah, I like that. I like what you're thinking.
Ninety five point nine f M beautiful things, je Breezy.
Uh just a phenomenal artist, phenomenal mind. What is one
of your favorite subjects in school?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man? Science and math? Okay, yeah, I was, but I
had a thing for science. Though I can stand math,
I can't, damn man.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, that's why that's why I couldn't. That's why I was.
I had going to college, I was going to be
a computer science major. I just knew I was gonna
be him and create all this stuff. They gave me
these math courses.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I was like, yeah, I never realized math had more
to do with a lot of stuff than we knew.
But but it's crazy because math correlates with science. So
like when you get into science and you get deep
into the science field, it's a lot of math work.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I was an English guy, English and history.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
English came easy to me, like I aced English all
the way.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's why I liked it. I just knew it. I
could be Yes my way through courses in college. Man,
right something. I write it the night before, like he
I it was easy, it comes easy, it comes. I think,
I really do like your aura and what you're doing.
What do you see yourself in the next five years?
(17:59):
And I'm talking about the music game right now and
just music, just music wise, and then we will branch
off to the.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Rest uh in the music game within the next five years.
I see myself bigger than what I am now, for sure,
but it'll be more of like an influenced thing, like
I have set my own wave and like you know,
a well notable respected artists. Just me as an artist
is well respected. So I see myself verified.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
And that's that's the part that gets me. Because you
sold a lot of singles, you you are very active online,
and yet you're saying, oh, I still got to get
known in certain parts.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, I still don't feel like I blew up like
a lot of people like, bro, you big. I don't
see it though, like I still feel normal. You ain't
there yet. Yeah, I ain't there yet. I ain't reached
it yet. I know I ain't reached.

I heard.
Speaker 1 (01:30):

of see it though, because like a lot my crowd,
my music attracts a lot of young people, youth. So
it's just like, you know, I do have the youth
behind I am a voice, So I could see it,
but I never heard it. But I understand why.

the studio just chilling. Uh. You know, it's just I
just thought about it. I was thinking about my girl. Honestly,
That's how I came up with the idea of it. Yeah.
It usually happens that way, So it's just I just
did it. It came out that way. I don't really
(02:46):
put too much thought into it. That's crazy. My first
my first my first two million views ever on YouTube
was from a Bane song, I Ain't Blow Up from
a Traill song. My first views too many us just
room paint song.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But that's been, that's been almost the way. That's where

like when I when I got out of the the
the Waiian stage, It's like yeah, So it's like the
older I get when I when I'm in a car,

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So I did no country music go hard though it's
it's I'll do it all.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But if I'm by myself and I'm putting on some
of I'm definitely putting on the country.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah. You see a lot of hip hop artists trying
to make little hip hop country songs. Not country music
been that thing though definitely.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Also southern. So is one of one of the newer
ones that's coming out too.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So yeah, I gotta get put on to that. What
that is southern or soul? Yeah? It it it it.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's a mix between blues, R and me. Uh, got
small rap elements in it, but everything in the blues.
Everything on the poetry, you got that to it. Yeah, Southern.
So it's when you hear like some boots on the ground,
that's just the up tempo. You ever hear boots on
the ground, she laughed back there she hear boots on
(05:19):
the ground? Is boots on the ground?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Where them fans that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I just talk about a little bit. Another thing that
interests me about you is is hoping. It's this basketball. Yeah,
you know your own AAU team.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, I want to. I just want to get the
kids to change the youth of chance. You know, because
I'm with the AAU team. I don't you don't. You
don't have to pay for anything. Just come.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh yeah that's a good team. I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I want the kids to get a chance to, you know,
whatever situation they got going on at home or whatever
it is, like, that's that's the getaway. Come play for
the A team, bro, gonna have some fun.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You used to hoop or what?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah? I used to play football?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Okay, well position, let me check.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I played everything everything okay yeah, quarterback, receiver, running back,
kid return.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Point, who made you stop?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I got a kid out of school my senior year
knuckleheads and that was it. It was it ain't no
school on me. I can go to no alternative school nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh they kick you out the whole system.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I was done for Oh you was wading out now.
I wasn't even wild out. It was somebody game. It did. Okay,
my fault. It's crazy. Well I take I take I
own up to my behalf in it. But like that
specific day, I ain't. I was get ready for game day.
Some people just decided to come up to the school
and bullshit and what happened happened. Yeah, it was just like.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And it was that this is were you into music
back then?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
At that time? Yeah, I was already I've been into music,
so I was like a kid, but I ain't never
really taking serious because I was always scared to get
laughed at. Because like back then in two thousand, I
want to say, like twenty eleven ten, you gruwing up
telling somebody even to be a rapper, like come on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's is still like that now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's more easier though because of social the social media.
Like back then, social media wasn't as your charact as
it was now. So it's like back then it was
way harder you had a way lower percentage of seeing
you come up and be a rapper on actually be
one instead of now you just post it on TikTok
or get a bunch of views and blow up. You
ain't et no rapper for real?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Right, what do you say about it? That's an interesting thing.
It's just the thought from that because people think it's
that easy, but people understand your work you put into it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, it was. It was. I made it like everybody
sacrifice definition of sacrifice probably the same or different, but
I made real severe sacrifices.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Talk about those sacrifices, talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It was like around the time, like you know, times
is hard. I ain't have it like that, Like I
ain't grow up shit swoom like that. So it was
like the little money I was getting this is probably
be like a boom. No, I ain't eight to night
and I want to go to the studio though, so
I'm from to take the lad hundred one hundred dollars dollars,
ain't for the status to get some food off from
the spends on the studio session. Be starving and I'll
(08:27):
go to the studio.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And that's the thought process. A lot of these up
and coming rappers are the ones who are still in
the game now who's trying to make it does understand
that sacrifice?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, they're gonna pick fun over work any day. I'm
pick work over fun.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And hence that's why you got the five million yep signals.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That Joe why and I almost got Dann There a
thousand and fifteen hundred music file sitting on my phone.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's crazy. So you you're originally from Jacksonville. Yeah, I've
been through Jacksonville. I'm trying to make it to a
duke all day? Is it like that? Like you said,
it is do all day?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Uh? Jacksonville could come together when it wants to. Okay, Okay,
it's just come together when it wants to.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Man, Okay, okay. Are you one of the biggest artists
come out of Jacksonville? Nab some of the artists that's
that's that comes from.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You got a little paper, you got young age, you
got y K Cyrus. Who else I'm missing? There's a
lot of artists. It's a lot of arts. You got old,
you got SETI Handres.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And you're on tour with a little little popper right now.
Tell us about that tour? How the tour goes normal tour.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Man, it's like it's a therapy session in the concert
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's dope, that's a dope. What you put it?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, you got multiple energies, you feel me. So it's
just like you just gotta come be ready to just
have fun. That's all. It's about having fun, therapy and
have fun.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Sold our shows everywhere so far?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Uh quite almost? Yeah, we know Philly was Philly was
sold out, Charlotte sold out, New Orleans sold out, and
then if they ain't sold out, it's like dang near
wall to wall states.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What's what's one of the uh tell me? One of
the fun things about going on tour, like let you
look forward to I know saying to people is one
of but some days we just don't know about.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know, to me, it'd be a lot of It'd
be more about the small things, like just the road
trips and seeing stuff. Even if we were just driving
straight past mountains and flat land, it's just the sight
of it. Like you know, you got people that that
that can't do certain stuff. You feel me, they can't
get out of their situation or get out of the city.
So to be able to travel to all these states
(10:49):
freely like that. You know, it's just just a blessing.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's crazy. What what is what's one of the most
exciting states that you've seen so far because you've been
there every states, all fifty states.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, almost almost wave before to her almost. Yeah, New Orleans,
New Orleans Field for some reason. New Orleans feel like
home life, like Jacksonville, like you feel like I'm back
in Chatsonvield for some reason. So I like New Orleans, Houston.
(11:24):
I like going to Houston, to Houston smooth.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Houston is great.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
But yeah, my recent though, Philly like Philly, I love Phillies.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I love Philly is different, It's great. It's cliff is
a great city too. Though we turn up here.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I gotta explore Cleveland. I might fallow love with
Cleveland too.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We turn up here. Health go get you right? I

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Have you have you been out the country?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Nah? I ain't been out the country. It's a beautiful thing,
my brother. Yeah, I got to see what it's looking like.
I heard.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I'm trying to get as much as many black folks
as as possible to get out the country to see it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I got to see what it's like. I hear. I
hear a lot of things about out of the country.
So it's just like I gotta go see for myself
because you know, people fabricate stories.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's a beautiful thing, man, It's It's one of those
things where you just naturally just it's not a front,
it's no cabin. You just out there. You literally get
just be there and enjoy the moment, you know. So
I love I love going to see uh out of the country.
A lot is with some of the represents that influenced
you coming up.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Mm hmmm, uh uh Lil Wayne Chief Keef, uh who else?
I grew up on a lot of the older rappers do.
Like when t I was out a little boots see yes,
(13:20):
Web yes, but.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Not a lot of people don't call Webb had the time,
Rick Ross too.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Who else?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Who's your favorite? Like, who's your go to? Who is
your goal to? We're talking about to go to.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
As of recent, as of right now at the time,
like I just need to man ain't I ain't lately though,
like for the past few years, I've just been listening
to me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm my goal to. Yeah, I'm my go to because
it's like I could do everything. And once I realized that,
it was just like I don't need to listen to
nobody else because another thing I picked up on as
an artist, Like when you listen to another artist too much,
you start pick up on these sounds. So that's why
I just stay focused on, Like I always just listen.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
To me, right I usually I was really heavy on
for a while, was in me a young boy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah that's the world right now.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But for like like twenty seventeen, I don't like it's
reach to stuff as much. But twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,
I was like, oh yeah, all right, I just put
out I like some of the young guys to some
of the young casts and come back now. I started
listen to your music. Oh okay, I like that sound.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah. I just really just try to you know, not
just stay in one lane, just try multiple things, because
it's up with me. It's just about sounds. Like ain't
all about like it's music, but it's like sounds because
I know sounds can take you back to Tom Stomps. Yeah,
and my trance is ar me and it's just like
certain sounds of algorithm, algorithms take me back to my childhood.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
What so tell us that process in the studio, that
process that do you is the beat already there or
do you go with the producer say hey this is
what I am feeling? Can create this?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nah? I just honestly, they know everybody I word with
no my word ethic is just crazy. So it's just
like they don't even tell me nothing. They just send
me a mixture of everything. And then when I get
to the studio, I just flipped through the beats. I
just sent them all to the engineer and then I
just get to the mic and let's just go write
nothing this get busy. Yeah, I just get to it.
(15:30):
I don't write. I don't write at all. It's like
and it's like, now I got so used to just
punching in it'd be harder for me to write a song.
So it's just like now I'm just in the process
of balancing the two.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Okay, any special collabo's that you're looking for, like if
it's if it's three artists dead or alive. Ain't there
out the game that you would love to work with?
Who would be.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Juice World? I would loved to work with Juice World.
I used to listen to Juice World. I like, hmm,
that's really about it. I know if we go legends though,
I Wayne for sure that'd be definitely. That's like a
number one Wayne Juice World. And if I want to
(16:23):
go old school, I'll do something with MG and a ball.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Oh yeah, I like that. I like what you're thinking.
Ninety five point nine f M beautiful things, je Breezy.
Uh just a phenomenal artist, phenomenal mind. What is one
of your favorite subjects in school?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man? Science and math? Okay, yeah, I was, but I
had a thing for science. Though I can stand math,
I can't, damn man.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, that's why that's why I couldn't. That's why I was.
I had going to college, I was going to be
a computer science major. I just knew I was gonna
be him and create all this stuff. They gave me
these math courses.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I was like, yeah, I never realized math had more
to do with a lot of stuff than we knew.
But but it's crazy because math correlates with science. So
like when you get into science and you get deep
into the science field, it's a lot of math work.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I was an English guy, English and history.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
English came easy to me, like I aced English all
the way.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's why I liked it. I just knew it. I
could be Yes my way through courses in college. Man,
right something. I write it the night before, like he
I it was easy, it comes easy, it comes. I think,
I really do like your aura and what you're doing.
What do you see yourself in the next five years?
(17:59):
And I'm talking about the music game right now and
just music, just music wise, and then we will branch
off to the.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Rest uh in the music game within the next five years.
I see myself bigger than what I am now, for sure,
but it'll be more of like an influenced thing, like
I have set my own wave and like you know,
a well notable respected artists. Just me as an artist
is well respected. So I see myself verified.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
And that's that's the part that gets me. Because you
sold a lot of singles, you you are very active online,
and yet you're saying, oh, I still got to get
known in certain parts.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, I still don't feel like I blew up like
a lot of people like, bro, you big. I don't
see it though, like I still feel normal. You ain't
there yet. Yeah, I ain't there yet. I ain't reached
it yet. I know I ain't reached.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
