Aaron Ashmore (Smallville, Killjoys) joins us this week to share his shared experience in this industry working on a hit series like Smallville, while also diving into the very unique experience of what it’s like to navigate Hollywood with an identify twin sibling (Shawn Ashmore). Aaron talks about the surprise of landing the role as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville despite his brother appearing in the show during its inception; plus he gets into what rubbed him the wrong way with how they dealt with the canon of his DC character. We also talk about the trauma that helped him unknowingly develop as an actor, having back bone, and rivalries that come with growing up as an adolescent twin.

How did Selena and Benny first meet?

What makes their love story unique?

On today’s episode of On Purpose, Jay sits down with global superstar Selena Gomez and acclaimed music producer Benny Blanco where they share their love story like they never have before. They open up about their personal journey—one that didn’t start with an immediate spark.

Their story is full of humor, mixed signals, and that moment when it all clicked. Benny once thought Selena didn’t like him, while Selena, protecting her heart, kept her distance. But as their friendship grew, they built something real—a relationship rooted in trust, respect, open communication, and always supporting each other. Their story is a true testament that love unfolds when the timing is right.

Together, Jay, Selena, and Benny reflect on the power of embracing love, letting go of past fears, and choosing a partner who helps you grow. Their journey serves as a beautiful reminder that love often comes when you least expect it—but when it’s right, you’ll know.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Build a Strong Friendship Before Dating

How to Communicate Openly in a Relationship

How to Maintain Trust in a Long-Distance Relationship

How to Support Your Partner’s Emotional Needs

How to Balance a Busy Career with a Healthy Relationship

Selena and Benny’s story reminds us that true love isn’t defined by grand gestures or perfection—it’s about finding someone who sees you for who you are, supports you through life’s challenges, and makes even the simplest moments feel special.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Introducing ⁠Lewis Howes: The Scarcity Belief That’s Blocking You from Making Money & How to Feel Rich Even When You’re Broke from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Have you ever avoided looking at your finances?

If money were a person, how would you describe your relationship with it?

Today, Jay welcomes back his long time friend, Lewis Howes, a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and former professional athlete. He is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top-ranked business and self-development shows in the world, where he interviews some of the most influential leaders in business, wellness, and personal growth.

The conversation highlights key principles for transforming one's financial mindset, including the power of awareness, gratitude, and generosity. Jay and Lewis examine how early experiences with money influence current financial behaviors and emphasize the importance of developing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By recognizing and reshaping these beliefs, financial opportunities can be approached with clarity and confidence.

Lewis emphasizes on the distinction between making money easy and chasing easy money. While many seek quick financial success, they explore the pitfalls of short-term thinking and the long-term benefits of building sustainable wealth through skill development, strategic planning, and emotional resilience. The concept of mapping out financial goals is introduced as a way to create structure and direction in money management.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Identify and Change Your Money Beliefs

How to Develop Awareness Around Your Financial Habits

How to Shift from a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset

How to Invest in Yourself to Build Long-Term Financial Success

How to Create a Clear Financial Plan for Stability and Growth

How to Use Energy, Passion, and Curiosity as Valuable Currency

Financial freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing abundance, and making intentional choices that align with long-term success. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
