Very poor title decision. She said so many important things but prioritizing clicks when deciding the title is sad. Especially for such a well known podcast. Again a woman put on the spot for her relationship over her achievements.
I agree. It saddens me to see that the title is about cashing on someones painful moment rather than their resilience, vision, wisdom. @Jay, you are a wise soul yourself. I hope you consider this comment.
I agree. Jay, most people listening to you are not looking for drama, but for growth. So the titles should reflect that. Plus it's a simply disrespectful title to Melinda, who is so much more than a person who divorced Bill Gates.
She's a fool you can see how she talks and doesn't go into any details. Just says women this and women that to make her point and getting divorced at her age for what ? to date who ?
Agreed with above. When clicks matter more than content. You can do better Jay
The clicks were worth the content
I love people like Melinda who have enough money to just live and enjoy their lives, but instead choose to try to make the world a better place to live for everyone. Awesome interview Jay, it was great to see that you were talking to Melinda and not just Bill Gates ex wife.
Exactly. I had no idea how interesting she is.
Melinda is awesome! That is a GREAT interview!! Thanks! Elizabeth in Texas
She’s wonderful… I’m taking notes
Also, I’d bet money Bill is the type of person who sneakily undermines ones confidence … bc mine does and my imposter syndrome is slowly being dismantled but it’s hard
Enough money ❌
Insane amount of money ✅
Being so rich but it is a sad to hear her story and talking of empowerment of woman, seems she feels upset but since she has money and she has been in philaontherapy for whole her life her talk is valuable it is true that woman have to ovrercome the glass cieling. What about herself is looking for something more life becomes tacky after divorce , one would like to hear is she lonely, does her heart filled with pain. Nice to know about kejabi i am from new delhi we want to know kejabi how does she follow this lonely road in her life. People love her as a gamechanger and a great figure of this century with bill gates. We advice her to do some meditation, we understand her sad moments. Life is beautyfull it is like a celerebation, a dance and happiness will be attained like enlightment all restvl is surreal good to hear such profound words we all players in this chessboard of life and have come in this world to play of in the chessboard world of life and we perform her duties in the world for age is just a number and the best is yet to come mam all over the world woman are siddlined in the world woman have to raise children and start her family as said by honrable melinda, yes it is awefull age . She has piinted rightlt
Thank you for sharing, Melinda. I just turned 60 and went through my own divorce after 18 years of marriage. I applaud you for sharing your journey so that others realize that these challenging circumstances occur to everyone despite social standing. Bravo.

Well done
This was inspiring. Love how she does research before forming an opinion. Thanks Melinda on behalf on women and people of color.
Wow!!! I am admire her so much. I came from an Asian country and understand how women had no voice , I think she should run politics we need more women like her. Thank you for interview her 🙏
Divorcing someone you still love is heartache. It seems like you'll never be happy again but you will. 🧡
When my husband passed, I felt the most intense grief I have ever felt in my life and at the same time I felt so much love from friends and family…so at a time of much grief I also felt great love. They can and do coexist.
Bittersweet ❤
The thing I like about this podcast is that it shows everyone's weaknesses. We all know we have them but to have it admitted, seen, discussed is great. 👏🏽👏🏽 We are not alone. 🧡
When I lost my son over 25 years ago I knew I would never be happy as I knew it. Time does not heal such an unspeakable loss. You just endure.
Loss of a child and divorcing a weirdo are not same categories. She lost nothing of value unlike you. 🌹
@@Satori100not true. You can’t judge this for another person.
You do, but it helps to remind yourself that suffering is not what they would want for you.
🤟) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
"The Work of the Holy Spirit and the Work of Satan" ... (When the Holy Spirit works within a person, the physical things of the person are still there and his stature remains as before, but he achieves the clarification and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and so his condition becomes normal, andhe changes quickly. The work of the Holy Spirit is positive advancement, while the work of Satan is retreat, being negative, being rebellious, resisting God, losing faith in God, and not even singing hymns, and being too weak to perform thedutyWhen there is the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, nothing in what you do will interfere or hinder; you will be freed, will have a path in carrying out your actions, and you will not be subject to any prohibitions, but will be able to act according to the will ofGodThe work of Satan causes you to interfere in many things; it deprives you of the desire to pray, makes you too lazy to eat the words of God, and has no desire to live the life of the church, and it separates you from the spiritual life. If you can clearly discern which things are from Satan and which are guided by the Holy Spirit, you will not be misled in your experiences right away. Because you know what is the work of the Holy Spirit and what is Satan's, you can compare them to your own condition during your experiences, and to your own condition during your experiences, and to your own experiences, and in thisway there will be many more truths related to the principle in your experiences. Of course, that is as long as your motivations are right, and as long as you are willing to search and execute. People must understand both how the Holy Spirit works and how Satan works; they are both indispensable parts of human experiences.)
Almighty God said
When the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS WITHIN MAN, man's innate things are still there and his STAGE REMAINS as before, but he ACHIEVES the ILLUMINATION and LIBERATION of the HOLY SPIRIT, and so the his STATUS becomes more urgent,the conditions INSIDE him become NORMAL, and he CHANGES FAST. 🌷
In people's real experiences, they mainly experience the work of the Holy Spirit or Satan, and if they cannot understand these conditions and do not know the difference, entering into real experiences is not possible, especially yet the changes todisposition. So, the KEY to EXPERIENCE the WORK of GOD is to BE ABLE to reflect on such things; this way, it will be easier for them to experience it.
The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is POSITIVE PROGRESS, while the WORK of SATAN is retreat, being NEGATIVE, being REBELLIOUS, RESISTING GOD, LOSS OF FAITH in GOD, and DISLIKE even SINGING hymns, and being TOO WEAK to PERFORM theDUTY. Everything that comes from the LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT is truly NATURAL; It is NOT FORCED on you. If you FOLLOW it, you WILL HAVE PEACE; otherwise, you will be criticized afterwards. When there is the LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT, NOTHING you DO will INTERFERE or PREVENT; you will be freed, will have a path in carrying out your actions, and you will not be subject to any prohibitions, but will be able to act according to the will ofGodSATAN'S WORK CAUSES you to INTERFERE with many things; It LEAVES you of the desire to PRAY, MAKES you too LAZY to EAT the WORDS of GOD, and UNWISHING to LIVE the LIFE of the church, and it separates you from the SPIRITUAL LIFE. 🛑
The work of the Holy Spirit does not interfere with your daily life and does not interfere with your entry into a normal spiritual life. You cannot perceive many things at the very moment they happen, however, after a few days, your heart becomes brighter and your mind becomes clearer. There is a little understanding of spiritual things, and gradually you are able to tell whether a thought is coming from God or from Satan. Some things clearly make you oppose God and rebel against God, or prevent you from practicing God's words; these things are all from Satan. Some things are not obvious, and you cannot tell what they are at that moment; then, you will see their signs and then take the hint. If you can clearly discern which things are from Satan and which are guided by the Holy Spirit, you will not immediately be led astray by your experiences. There are times, when you are not in a good mood, that you have certain thoughts that take you out of your normal state. This shows that even if your situation is not pleasant, some of your thoughts may still come from the Holy Spirit.
It is not the case that when you are convinced, all your thoughts are sent by Satan; If that is true, when will you be able to move into a positive state? Because you have been in the dark for some time, the Holy Spirit gives you the opportunity to be perfected; He touches you and removes you from your precarious state. ☀️
Because you KNOW WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS and WHAT SATAN WORKS, you can compare them with your own SITUATION AT THE TIME of your EXPERIENCES, and with your own experiences, and in this way HAVE more that there are many moreFACT that is PRINCIPALLY RELATED to your EXPERIENCES. Since you have understood these truths about the principle, you will be able to manage your actual situation, you will be able to see the difference between people and circumstances, and you will not need to spend so much effort to achieve the work of the Divine. spirit ☀️
Of course, that is as long as your motivations are right, and as long as you are willing to search and execute. Language like this--language related to principles---must feature in your experiences. Without it, your experiences will be filled with Satanic interference and foolish knowledge. If you don't understand how the Holy Spirit works, you don't understand how you get in, and if you don't understand how Satan works, you don't understand how, you will be careful with your every step. PEOPLE must both UNDERSTAND how the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS and HOW SATAN WORKS; they are BOTH NECESSARY parts of HUMAN EXPERIENCES. 🙏
From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13)
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/RUclips! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 💌
The title dishonours the conversation and this awesome, wise, accomplished woman.
I suspect she is one of them, those women who despite their many accomplishments, were never fully recognized for what they’ve achieved, but for whom they did or didn’t marry.
She is all the women she tries to support and speak for, perhaps this is why helping women tap into their potential is such a central theme in her life and mission.
So yes, that title is problematic because it doesn’t allow people to see her as a fully fledged woman beyond her marital status. Stories and words matter and in instances like this they help perpetuate same old stereotypes.
I am really happy that Melinda Gates brought up the lack of federally mandated family leave in the US. It’s absolutely imperative to creating more equal opportunities for women and empowering them to stay in the workplace. Another big one is the lack of affordable, quality childcare that allows families the flexibility to both work outside the home. It’s an uphill battle for families with young kids and two working parents without family to rely on.

I love her humility, an exceptional woman
When I was in high school we were tracked. I was allowed to be on the secretarial track not bookkeeping (for boys). I was told by the HS counselor I was not college bound. I worked as a secretary during the day. I won a teaching scholarship from Metropolitan Life Insurance. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and also got a degree in Business Administration. Being a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx, NY (no support from family) my teachers in Public Schools gave me self-esteem and not accept doors closing because other doors opened.
What's that high school giving you a diploma and a degeree?
@@user-qv4ze8zm4h I graduated HS with a Secretarial Science Diploma. I then was one of the first recipients of Future Teacher Scholarship Program from Metropolitan Life Insurance.

@@kiefpief I agree! ❤️
I did not know anything about Melinda except what I heard on the news... because of this interview I found that she's a wonderful person... thank you for enlightening me on Ms. Gates. She has the power to change systems in the world for the better. ❤❤🎉🎉
I didn't know anything about her or hear anything until her divorce. What I heard was that her divorce settlement (or whatever you want to call it) was given to charity. Of course it's much more than that but you know what I mean.
Thank you for inviting such an inspiring woman on your Podcast. She’s the real deal; no hype, a good listener, thoughtful and above all honest . She’s powerful because she knows who she is and her faith stablizes her to move forward. I wish her all the joy and contentment this life has to offer. Thank you Mr. Shetty for your thoughtfulness and depth as well
Ty Jay Melissa is a very wise lady it's nice to know she raised her children with values.
Yes Melissa did … you are correct. .!!
I’m so glad I listened to this episode. I had know idea how she was as a person. I love that she is deep in her faith. I just started a book Richard Rohr wrote was recommended at a retreat. God bless you both. She seems like an amazing mom and woman of faith.
1:09:51 service to others
Here in Taiwan we have the love-heart mamas and papas. In the dark of the night they are on their scooters feeding the stray dogs and cats. They don’t have non-profit organizations. They are often very poor. When there is an emergency, they are often willing to help. They have inspired me and I humbly followed their light, their example. There is nothing more important in this world than to be of service. Even animals are of service to each other.
Great interview, wonderful and inspiring guest - Melinda French Gates is incredibly wise and a voice of reason - thank you 🙏🏼 😊
What an amazing Lady 👏👏👏WE NEED MORE MELINDAS FRENCH IN THIS WORLD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE🤩🤩🤩
Yikes. .!’ 😱
🤟) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
"The Work of the Holy Spirit and the Work of Satan" ... (When the Holy Spirit works within a person, the physical things of the person are still there and his stature remains as before, but he achieves the clarification and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and so his condition becomes normal, andhe changes quickly. The work of the Holy Spirit is positive advancement, while the work of Satan is retreat, being negative, being rebellious, resisting God, losing faith in God, and not even singing hymns, and being too weak to perform thedutyWhen there is the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, nothing in what you do will interfere or hinder; you will be freed, will have a path in carrying out your actions, and you will not be subject to any prohibitions, but will be able to act according to the will ofGodThe work of Satan causes you to interfere in many things; it deprives you of the desire to pray, makes you too lazy to eat the words of God, and has no desire to live the life of the church, and it separates you from the spiritual life. If you can clearly discern which things are from Satan and which are guided by the Holy Spirit, you will not be misled in your experiences right away. Because you know what is the work of the Holy Spirit and what is Satan's, you can compare them to your own condition during your experiences, and to your own condition during your experiences, and to your own experiences, and in thisway there will be many more truths related to the principle in your experiences. Of course, that is as long as your motivations are right, and as long as you are willing to search and execute. People must understand both how the Holy Spirit works and how Satan works; they are both indispensable parts of human experiences.)
Almighty God said
When the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS WITHIN MAN, man's innate things are still there and his STAGE REMAINS as before, but he ACHIEVES the ILLUMINATION and LIBERATION of the HOLY SPIRIT, and so the his STATUS becomes more urgent,the conditions INSIDE him become NORMAL, and he CHANGES FAST. 🌷
In people's real experiences, they mainly experience the work of the Holy Spirit or Satan, and if they cannot understand these conditions and do not know the difference, entering into real experiences is not possible, especially yet the changes todisposition. So, the KEY to EXPERIENCE the WORK of GOD is to BE ABLE to reflect on such things; this way, it will be easier for them to experience it.
The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is POSITIVE PROGRESS, while the WORK of SATAN is retreat, being NEGATIVE, being REBELLIOUS, RESISTING GOD, LOSS OF FAITH in GOD, and DISLIKE even SINGING hymns, and being TOO WEAK to PERFORM theDUTY. Everything that comes from the LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT is truly NATURAL; It is NOT FORCED on you. If you FOLLOW it, you WILL HAVE PEACE; otherwise, you will be criticized afterwards. When there is the LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT, NOTHING you DO will INTERFERE or PREVENT; you will be freed, will have a path in carrying out your actions, and you will not be subject to any prohibitions, but will be able to act according to the will ofGodSATAN'S WORK CAUSES you to INTERFERE with many things; It LEAVES you of the desire to PRAY, MAKES you too LAZY to EAT the WORDS of GOD, and UNWISHING to LIVE the LIFE of the church, and it separates you from the SPIRITUAL LIFE. 🛑
The work of the Holy Spirit does not interfere with your daily life and does not interfere with your entry into a normal spiritual life. You cannot perceive many things at the very moment they happen, however, after a few days, your heart becomes brighter and your mind becomes clearer. There is a little understanding of spiritual things, and gradually you are able to tell whether a thought is coming from God or from Satan. Some things clearly make you oppose God and rebel against God, or prevent you from practicing God's words; these things are all from Satan. Some things are not obvious, and you cannot tell what they are at that moment; then, you will see their signs and then take the hint. If you can clearly discern which things are from Satan and which are guided by the Holy Spirit, you will not immediately be led astray by your experiences. There are times, when you are not in a good mood, that you have certain thoughts that take you out of your normal state. This shows that even if your situation is not pleasant, some of your thoughts may still come from the Holy Spirit.
It is not the case that when you are convinced, all your thoughts are sent by Satan; If that is true, when will you be able to move into a positive state? Because you have been in the dark for some time, the Holy Spirit gives you the opportunity to be perfected; He touches you and removes you from your precarious state. ☀️
Because you KNOW WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS and WHAT SATAN WORKS, you can compare them with your own SITUATION AT THE TIME of your EXPERIENCES, and with your own experiences, and in this way HAVE more that there are many moreFACT that is PRINCIPALLY RELATED to your EXPERIENCES. Since you have understood these truths about the principle, you will be able to manage your actual situation, you will be able to see the difference between people and circumstances, and you will not need to spend so much effort to achieve the work of the Divine. spirit ☀️
Of course, that is as long as your motivations are right, and as long as you are willing to search and execute. Language like this--language related to principles---must feature in your experiences. Without it, your experiences will be filled with Satanic interference and foolish knowledge. If you don't understand how the Holy Spirit works, you don't understand how you get in, and if you don't understand how Satan works, you don't understand how, you will be careful with your every step. PEOPLE must both UNDERSTAND how the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS and HOW SATAN WORKS; they are BOTH NECESSARY parts of HUMAN EXPERIENCES. 🙏
From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13)
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/RUclips! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 💌
I really enjoyed this! Loved that Melinda mentioned Richard Rohr. I was first introduced to Richard's "Breathing Under Water, Spirituality and the 12 Steps" by a recovering alcoholic addict while I was in a family co-dependency recovery program about 20 years ago.
It was a life saver for me.
As were many of the writings of Brene Brown. Its cool to hear her talk of them as part of her journey.
And so many of us can also relate to the discussion on divorce.
Ending a marriage...breaking apart a family... and finally, accepting that what you thought was going to be your future is no longer possible, is one of the hardest challenges to navigate.
Thanks so much for this interview, Jay. I really knew little about Melinda (other than the usual headlines)
She seems like a lovely person who wants to make a difference. ❤️💕
This was an awesome interview ! ❤Melinda Gates is a beautiful soul . I love that she wants to make a difference in the world!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊⁰0000😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊00⁰0😊😊
❤❤❤
Thank you to Melinda for emitting peace and radiance ✨
Congratulations Jay, for another thought provoking interview 💛
I really enjoyed the part where Melinda French Gates talks about self-acceptance and allowing oneself to make mistakes as a way of bonding with others and humanizing relationships. ❤
Dear Jay Shetty. Loved your insight, ‘we repeat what we reward’ re a top 100 rich (in service) list ❤. I am a mother of a severly learning disabled autistic young man and i have personally experienced a huge cohort of people who ‘figuratively’ - climb mountains and live out daily the truest meaning of ‘Grace’ in the nitty gritty shitty ‘on the ground’ type way. These ppl have inspired me, helped me and carried on in unbelievable circumstances at times!
In fact, there are so many seemingly ‘ordinary’ people in daily life, who have served us, quietly carrying out daily miracles and heroic acts (like the coach you mention) who have huge profound influences on our lives. Just like the ‘helping another to breathe easy’ quote Melinda mentions’.
How about we start honouring them? How about we hold up acts of love & kindness & daily strength in massive adversity as our role models in society?
There is a sea-change with a cohort of influencers like yourself (DOAC for eg.. both of you singing from the same hymn sheet.. but many others to!) .. the upticks in following & guests you are all getting on will give a platform to create a different ‘rich list’ such that you dream of. Together you CAN make this happen!
It’s about time we honoured & appreciated those who oftentimes don’t even realise what a magnificent service they are giving to another. The more light we shine on our beautiful acts the more light is reflected ❤.
He's in it for the fame and money. He couldn't care any less about ordinary people.
@@TeamAwesomeDadNope, it doesn't come to people like that. There is integrity and then there are those who support the most despicable people, yet SAY they representing the best for the world. Sadly, I agree that there are far too many who are only out for their meager little desires.
Melinda have you heard of Alana Moor. She was on the Physicians Committee Podcast. She is canadian and got in prison for almost 7 years in Panama and is now starting ways to help women in prison. As I listened to her story I thought you and her could do wonderful work together. I really think this girl is absolutely amazing. Sending a little seed in the universe 🤗. Jay this conversation was a delight. Thank you.
In our perilous times when our democracy is crumbling and narcissism is rampant it is reassuring that people like Melinda are being visible and vocal about the better angels of our nature and bringing it down to the personal. The personal is political and she’s an excellent spokesman for keeping it real, unifying and compassionate. I’m extremely happy that she and Bill exist and are who they are.
I loved and admired Ms. Melinda’s interview so much! She is down to earth, raised her children with integrity and kept her soul true to her life’s mission. The courage and peace she radiates are very uplifting. I feel hope as a woman of color who faces barriers despite high standards in my societal contributions. I also love that she is Catholic 🥰😍❤️🙏. Thank you for all the work you do through your foundations for African women: may the Lord bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Amen.
I love your list idea for people who give of themselves in service. We can all make it happen with awareness. You were both great, thanks. Melinda you are terrific, you make a difference.
Loved this interview! Listening to Melinda, I found so many parallels in what she has gone through and learned! Really enjoyed this!! Thanks!
She can speak the truth because nothing about her life/ lifestyle can be adversely impacted or affected by her doing so. I appreciate her opinions.
Divorce with a few billion......I'm sure you'll be fine.....I once read a quote "money does not buy happiness, but it's easier to cry in a Mercedes than on a bike"
I’m glad you changed the title… POWERFUL content 💥 and beautiful human being 🧡
I loved this interview! I took notes the entire time. ❤
Love that!!!! ❤
Ladies and gentleman::: this is the definition of virtue signaling!!! If folks like Bill wanted to help the work he would start today in our country and not focus on depopulation
I like this lady. She is somehow down to earth and relatable.
1. Give yourself grace
2. Guilt blocks growth
You’re an admirable woman of substance Ms Melinda French Gates. I admire you for your honesty courage and generosity for giving back to others less fortunate people. You’re an inspiration to women ❤
I love this interview!! I really enjoy when people answer “what is the law question”, hers for sure could be pretty powerful 💪🏼. Praying for grace 🙏🏼
This was a great conversation. Very informative and the fact she has started to research on women history was wonderful.
Thank you for watching!
Staying in silence is so important. I stay in silence when I walk my dog. No phone just enjoying nature and the sauna at the gym after a workout for 15 mins. It's so good. Clears the brain.
Agreed
😇I so enjoy seeing this woman strive we hit a few mile markers together we were both pregnant with our first child at the same time, got married at the same time, divorced at the same time I didn't realize we're both 60 either one of my best lines is when she said of her divorce not what she planned but what happened. I love seeing her smile and move on after the end of her marriage in a cheerful way
This encouraging podcast episode as done a great job on the day l turn a year older! Keep up the great work Jay
I admire how Melinda carries herself with such grace and class. Thanks for making a difference in the world. All the best to you.
Melinda most definitely did not grow up as middle class. She went to an elite private school in Dallas. Her father was a successful engineer and her mother did not have to work outside of the home.
Melinda Gates is so wise...it isn't easy to begin again but she is an excellent example for us- by choosing herself in the face of great deception she chose LIFE on her terms. This conversation of grief & joy coexisting moment to moment in our lives is so true and incredibly poignant. Love this conversation 💜💜
Thank you Melinda French Gates! I love hearing your perspectives!
What a pleasure to see and hear directly from Melinda Gates. I’ve always held her in such high regards but after this insightful interview I see her as an even more amazing woman. God bless her for being who she is and always wanting to make the world a better place for young girls and women.
Thank you Melinda for all you do.
This is empowering. I am so grateful to have a woman to be in a space of Grace and share the difficulties of divorce. Thank you Jay. Excellent questions. ❤
This was a beautiful interview! Loved how honest and real she is, specially about how Brene Brown has helped her overcome perfection through her book
Thanks for sharing , Melinda ! I went through the similar situation. You described it correctly - stubbing in the body. Happy you feel content now. Thanks for standing up for all women -all colours and all social status. We need changes!
You’re also a wonderful mother who is passing on the great values to your kids. Thanks for sharing again.
This is one of the best interviews I have seen that makes me wanna do better. She is so impressive to listen to and learn from. Great interview!!
Service list is a phenomenal idea!
She has so much power! She can initiate so many more improvements in especially women's issues she mentions... let's see more action Melinda!
I love the idea the Service List! Thank you Jay. And thank you Melinda for sharing your journey and showing us how a sprint of grace transforms some of life’s biggest challenges! ❤
Wow - so informative - a joy to listen to and well worth the time! Thank you Melinda!
Thank you for your unique insights and both of your missions to impact the world in kind, thoughtful and meaningful ways~
Thank you, Melinda, for your courage, generosity, wisdom, empathy and allyship. 🥰
Wow, I so enjoyed this video! Much continued success to Ms. French Gates.💛✨
What a wonderful podcast. So much to learn and a truly inspiring and amazing lady. Thank you Jay.
I don't care what she says or anyone else "says" the proof is in the doing.. I am trying very hard to see the good in everyone, but what her and BG have done is beyond being humane!
one of the importent points in her conversation was when she said its good for us to have a time in each day in silence and quite to hear ourselvs, then we have gratitude and we all know to have greater acheivements we should first be gratefull of what we have and what we are
hope all of us make time for ourselves
dont understimate you self your more than even mores
Thank you so much Jay and Melinda. Such inspiration with the insights. Service list idea superb 👌 It will inspire many others to serve fellow humans. Best wishes always!
Woooouuuu..So many spiritual lessons learned through her painful divorce journey..🥺🥺🥺🙏🌺💔💠
Oh she is Amazing! It's a very big opening for me.Thank you!Title is wrong although.
Thank you Melinda French Gates. Thank you so much for reconfirming Grace and the place it has in life and the immeasurable impact of Grace in life. I’ve lived my life up until now believing in this and hearing from you was my moment here in this podcast 💜🥹
I am walking the path of working with grassroots women here in India and to work with them to help them realise their full potential, unlock their potential as you said because every life deserves their place under the Sun. All I know and all I understand is step by step if we are able to impact and transform one life and then one more and then one more, there will be large scale impact. There will be what we so wish to see - a world where one gets to live the life of our full potential. Thank you so much for reaffirming we’re ok and we’re going to get there even if the issue at hand feels complex and complicated but we will break it down to simpler ways one by one 🙏🏼
I really liked this interview. Melinda is an inspiring, smart and kind human being. Well conducted interview though I agree with the comment about using her divorce as a hook on the title seems cheap sensationalism but it was comforting to hear it mentioned just briefly and used to deliver hope instead of venting. Well done.
No doubt a very intelligent and nice woman.
Admirable person.
She went to Duke (my nephew did too) for the same Computer Science, and it’s a great school
In all respects. The students are bright and rounded.
For anyone watching the beginning, just want to point out that yes, something like divorce is also change... and change can't always inherently be fun... This seems just to have been forgotten at the beginning of the conversation... so don't rush yourself if people who seem to have it together make it look easy - now, or ever...
I LOVE the idea of “The Service List,” and I especially love that it’s not called “Unsung Hero” or something like that. Life is about service, there’s humility in that!
I really enjoyed this. You go woman! These two give me hope.
Melinda Gates is courageously inspirational! A Refreshing reflection!! Good show 👍 Shetti
Wish Melinda ruled the world!!! Intelligent , kind,understanding,unselfish,realistic,and trying to bring good into this world keep doing what your doing may you live a long prosperus life! Love you Melinda!!!
Such a great conversation. I will have to watch again and take notes - it was that good! Thank you.
This was an awesome episode Jay! Great job interviewing and going deep with someone like Melinda. It has inspired me in so many ways and you both enriched my life a lot. God bless you and Melinda in her vision of getting more women and POC in place of power and your wish of the Service List. That was beautiful and creative. LOVED it!
Thank you Mr Jay Shetty for this great in depth interview with Ms Melinda Gates 🤩
Excellent podcast!!! I’m glad to get to know her. It is so tough for anyone to go through divorce. No one wants to, but many couples in their 40s and 50s start to grow apart. I’m glad she’s providing contraception to women. We all need to help make the world a better place in whatever way we can. ❤
Thank you. This was amazing for me. I am enrolled in JSCS and this is my niche.
hey jay it's lovely to see you having conversation with great people like miranda, joe biden and mitchell obama. plaese welcome virat kohli as well. eagerly waiting for that
So beautiful conversation 💖 thank you 👍👍😊
This was an amazing interview! Thank you
Just got this recommended to me by RUclips. Very interesting and enlightening interview. I wish I had money to travel. My dream is to see France. Maybe one day.
First time to hear Belinda speaking. What a gracious woman she is!
Amazing interview, her voice brings me confidence
Thank you! And same!
Wow ..!!! 😢
From the very start on the topic of change, so inspiring - great episode.
Amazing as always! I love listening to all your podcasts and recommend think like a monk to everyone. Would love to see you try getting Sadia Khan on your podcast.
My friend asked me to listen to this interview, her comment at the time was: I am a person of color, Melinda G’s wishful thinking is not only full of nativity, but also shows her subtle power of superiority. We do not need her mercy. She thinks every person of color needs her help, how does she know that we are unhappy just because we are poor? Total arrogance. She needs to make herself happy first.
After listening to to the full interview, I agree with the person of color’s comment.
She never implied EVERY person of color needs her help. She stated a truth that many women and people of color do not have as much power as white males (in America) and males in other societies. She also did not imply people who are poor are "unhappy," but may not have resources they need to make life easier and safer and healthier. I also believe you meant to say she has naivete, not "nativity"? But, I do agree that some wealthy people (and religious groups) do push themselves and agendas of what is "right" onto people in other countries without enough input from the residents of those countries of what they need.
You are such a real person.
I understood everything that you are talking about getting a divorce.
Thank you very much for sharing.😂😅
With all the criticism over the title choice…what would alternative suggestions be. I, for one, would have anticipated she would share her insights from going through difficult trials in life because this show is about learning and growth. People are curious about her divorce, such a difficult topic that it gives hope and inspiration to people who are going or who have gone through such difficult trials and if she can get through the emotional humiliation and tearing apart of her family, she can offer hope for others who wouldnt have clicked onto this show otherwise.
Thanks Jay
For me it's a great opportunity to hear from this woman through you
In my head I feel like I'm in this room with this woman I grew up all my life hearing her family name Gates
It is inspiring to listen to Melinda French Gates talking about her past and her work to make the world a better place for everyone to live in. I went to an Ursuline Sisters' college and also learned the valuable lessons of life which helped me to be an independent woman of my own.
I feel like she spoke to me… thank you!
Very relatable. I learned through my hard there's no way around it. It will pass even sooner if you stop trying to avoid it. Now I just sit in it until it's over. Once the tears start to flow I then know I'm releasing it and change is coming.
What an amazing woman! She is such an inspiration.
I am in awe of Melinda and can easily see all the middle class values she grew up with in the real decisions she makes in tough situations or in raising her kids. Can someone help to collate all the books and authors she talks about?
She comes through as a sincere woman and a proof that money doesn’t buy happiness. She seems to be one more living example that traveling contrarily to what she said, does very little nothing to really enrich people. Unless you live, work and pay taxes somewhere you can travel as much as you want and you will remain the same because you can detach yourself from the mainstream realities of wherever you are so easily especially with entourage, money and a culture as strong as US culture. She clearly is a very sheltered very privileged American woman with a tad of poor little girl syndrome. Kudos to her for putting herself out there because that’s sharing and being generous by all means. I like what she said about everyone around the world being the same at heart. That rings very true. The pushing of pharmaceuticals and corporate mentality is at the very least questionable. Giving back to the world is leading by example not necessarily giving money.
What a wonderful conversation. Thank you Jay & Melinda
Does she mention having an opinion of Gates trialling drugs in India and African children ? Or the influence he has over poly pharmacy ? Or was she oblivious to this ? May come back later and watch
I am almost her age and could really relate to her on so many levels and issues. I teach and my goal is to find each student’s strengths and am committed to making sure that every student can achieve their potential. I don’t know which student sitting in my classroom has the cure for cancer or the solution to climate change, etc. All of my students are non-white and economically challenged and as a society we need to ensure that all people achieve their potential since that is the only way we will survive.
