What’s a recent rejection you faced?

What keeps you going after rejection?

Today, Jay takes us inside the iHeart Studio at the Doha Web Summit for a candid, unfiltered conversation with his best friend of nearly two decades, Nanda. Nanda joins Jay for an impromptu discussion that takes us on a journey through their friendship, personal growth, and the pivotal moments that have shaped their lives.

Jay and Nanda reflect on the transitions that defined them—from Jay’s life as a monk and the challenges of reintegration into the corporate world, to Nanda’s bold decision to leave his successful career in law to pursue his true passion. They dive deep into the importance of humility, resilience, and self-awareness, sharing powerful lessons on navigating failure, taking risks, and reinventing oneself with purpose.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Overcome Career Transitions and Reinvent Yourself

How to Handle Failure and Rejection with Resilience

How to Develop a Winner’s Mindset Without Burnout

How to Balance Ambition with Spirituality

Your journey is unfolding exactly as it should—every challenge, every transition, and every unexpected twist is shaping you into the person you're meant to become.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
