Jay marks his birthday by reflecting on five lessons an unpredictable year taught him. From making career choices based on the skills you want to build, to trusting yourself through discomfort and protecting the friendships that remind you who you are beyond your work, Jay shares the principles that kept him grounded through change. He closes with a reminder that we often underestimate just how much we’re still capable of growing and becoming.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
