Science informs, but story transforms."– Jay Shetty "The focus behind each video is you should be able to watch it in 10 years and it should still make sense. It should have that timelessness. It should not become a trend or a fad. It should not be a video that isn't eternally relevant because I believe wisdom is timeless." – Jay Shetty "There's more of a responsibility for us to be more loyal, to be more committed, to really value our audience, because without them, we wouldn't even have a presence." – Jay Shetty To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW
