    Who do you feel truly sees you for who you are?

    Today, Jay sits down once again with the incredible Khloé Kardashian to talk about growth, healing, and what it really means to evolve on your own terms. It’s been six years since Khloé first sat down with Jay, and a lot has changed. Now in her 40s, Khloé reflects on the defining moments of her 30s, the clarity she’s found in this new chapter, and how her journey has shaped the woman she is today

She shares how she learned to forgive herself, let go of shame, and step into a deeper sense of self-awareness. Khloé talks about navigating the pressures around motherhood, relationships, and success — and how therapy, journaling, and her unwavering faith helped her rediscover her worth and inner peace.

    Jay and Khloé also dive into what it looks like to slow down, make room for solitude, and intentionally choose joy. She offers a glimpse into her daily routines, the spiritual practices that ground her, and how she’s creating a loving, mindful environment for her children, one rooted not in perfection, but in presence and authenticity.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Set Emotional Boundaries Without Losing Your Kindness

    How to Forgive Yourself and Heal from Past Mistakes

    How to Use Solitude as a Tool for Self-Discovery

    How to Stop Comparing Your Journey to Others

    Geoff Dardia joins Mike Ritland to expose the real story behind Afghanistan, the missed chance to take out Bin Laden, and how politics destroyed 20 years of sacrifice.Dardia is a former Master Sergeant and Green Beret who lived it for real — from kicking doors in hostile countries to hunting bad guys under night vision.Before that?He was supposed to be a Navy SEAL — training shoulder-to-shoulder with Mike Ritland — until a medical issue derailed that path. Instead of quitting, Geoff took the fight to Special Operations, racking up multiple deployments as a Weapons Sergeant, Intel Sergeant, and Ops Sergeant.Since leaving active duty, Geoff’s been on a different kind of warpath — fighting for the health and survival of the special operations community.

  • America's Sheriff Mark Lamb | Mike Drop Episode 236

    Mark Lamb is the unapologetically bold, newly-retired Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, who made national waves for bringing old-school grit and modern media savvy to law enforcement. Serving from 2017 to 2024, Lamb wasn’t just a badge and a gun—he became a digital-era lawman, turning to YouTube to share raw, unfiltered police footage while regularly appearing on FOX News, Newsmax, Live PD, and 60 Days In. Known for his no-nonsense stance on border security, Lamb stepped into the political arena in 2024, launching a U.S. Senate run to replace Kyrsten Sinema—only to be edged out in a high-profile primary battle by Kari Lake.


    After nearly two decades of service and a reputation that stretches far beyond Arizona, Sheriff Lamb officially hung up his badge on December 31st, 2024—but he's far from done making noise.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?

    Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?

    Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.

    Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.

    Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom

    How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing

    How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling

    How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity

    How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality

    How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology

    Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.

    Jay Shetty

    Introducing Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    How often do you work out?

    What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?

    In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.

    Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.

    They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.

    The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.

    How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.

    How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.

    Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.

    If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

  • You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing LIZZO EXCLUSIVE: “Releasing The Weight Has Affected People” The Real Transformation Story She’s Never Shared Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?

    What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?

    In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.

    She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.

    Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she's chosen to let go of toxic energy.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships

    Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries

    How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them

    How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract

    How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State

    What It Means to Grow Apart Without Guilt

    Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness

    Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • How AI will Change Warfare Forever | Mike Drop Episode 233

    Ethan Thornton is the founder of MACH Industries, a next-generation defense technology and manufacturing company that's dedicated to redefining the future of modern combat through their hydrogen-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and drone defense systems. A 21-year-old MIT dropout, Ethan left higher learning in 2023 after receiving a Thiel Fellowship from tech startup investor Peter Thiel (as well as placing on Forbes 30 under 30 list) to pursue working at MACH full-time.


    Considered by some to be a modern tech savant who shares the stage with the likes of Elon Musk or Marvel's fictional billionaire Tony Stark, Ethan's goal is to create more cost-effective and efficient defense systems by replacing traditional munitions with hydrogen-powered alternatives. He's also attracted significant attention for his work at the Department of Defense, with his innovative approach to crafting weapons systems like Viper, Glide, and Stratus leading some to believe that MACH may very well be rewriting the rulebook when it comes to combat engagements and aerial warfare.
