I dont know what failure means
@JayShettyPodcast I live for when my notification goes off because you dropped another amazing interview. Benny is such a positive soul with such fabulous character. He is so right... If more people in this world practiced LOVE and KINDNESS this world would be a much better place. Much love Jay 🫶🏾 Keep shining your bright light, we appreciate you more than you'll ever know. And send my love to your beautiful wife, I'm such a fan of hers ❤
I learned a lot from you guys tonight, watching from Nigeria ❤
Just be you fully. You never fail.
Don’t be afraid to fail
why is benny the best & most relatable person jay has interviewed of all time.
Sincerely!
It's because he's authentic.
i love how many questions benny asked you too, he genuinely seems very interested in connecting with you and getting to know you more
Yes! I was thinking that too!
I find it so rare for men to actually ask lots of questions! Benny seems totally interested and listening intently!
OK, I see it Selena, his soul is so beautiful too.
I was thinking the literal same thing.
I was literally saying the literal same thing in my own mind to myself.
I learned that you should not care about failure but use it as a stepping stone. That's a very powerful thing to do.
THIS!
@@JayShettyPodcast. I’m turning 29 this month, still by my moms house figuring it out. This was helpful and motivational, thank you.

Selena is lucky to have him, great interview!
And he her. Such a beautifully deep, authentic connection and, above all, healthy.
The interaction and getting to know the interviewer is something that show how amazing Benny Blanco is. Not a selfcenter. Always caring about other. How can not love him?
His ❤ is beautiful…he seems so pure…really curious and interested in everything and everyone….so down to earth and his raw honesty is amazing…..so motivated and life loving…..perfectly imperfect❤
What an authentic guy. I love that he interviewed you, too, Jay.
I love how Benny is all over the place when he’s talking 😂 his curiosity is great
I like the way he talks, OMG I love his mentality.
This is one of my favorite conversations Jay had this year. I never knew who Benny was before this beside him working with SZA but I love his energy and his genuine interest in Jay as well. He seems like the kind of person that could get anyone to open up during a convo.
I see a lifelong friendship brewing between Benny & Jay now. Both are amazing men. I really enjoyed this interview.
In this Jay Shetty podcast, I learned more about Jay Shetty. Thanks Benny Blanco. And Benny, you're a cool, down-to-earth guy. I would be very glad to have people like you in my close circle.
Totally agree!!!
Love how Benny asked Jay questions too! 😅 he literally got invited knowing nothing about Jay! Love that
This interview blow my mind! Love this guy and I understood why Selena Gomes is with him!
Maybe it is not one of handsome guy but his soul is rocket!
It was good to listen Benny
Very kind, sweet guy! Love it!
I literally love Benny Blanco after hearing this interview. I didnt know much about him. Im not a fan of the celebrity or famous world for obvious reasons. Literally would love to be his friend. Totally get the match with Salena. Both deeply amazing people. Im so glad there are well known people with good hearts for everyone to look up to these days.
I loved learning more about Benny. I feel like theres so little we know about celebrities and we just assume they're 1 way or another... love his take on failure. Its no big deal...just do it again, find a new way to go about it, or try something new. We all need to try this thought process!
Agreed!
How beautiful is Benny! He's so genuine.
I loved it when he realized that Jay was a monk.
Bless his heart.
I am so happy that he has a relationship with Selena.
This dude is so stinking cool.I am so proud of him, and Selena that they have each other.The realness of how he articulates his life,LoveLove him!!!
One of the best interviews! I could listen to you both all day .
Can't stop listening, this will go down as one of the most important interviews ever done.
The way Benny keeps asking Jay questions at the end is somehow so funny😂
This was one of the best interviews between you and Benny. It flowed so easily, like we didn't want the video to stop. As always, Jay, you really hit the mark on interviewing someone whom I feel has been so judged by people that know nothing about him. Thank you both, great tips on keeping trying when you're afraid to fail, etc..❤
Thank you for watching!
I was never so invested in this interview. By far the best I've seen. I have learned so much.Thanks so much Benny and Jay
Can’t wait to listen to this. Benny is such a talented and humble artist
Agreed!
I would spend hours listening to him super genius
I don’t think it comes off well in interviews, he is so kind and caring. Through out all the chaos he never not had a smile.
@@JayShettyPodcast. I apologize for not being able to watch the whole podcast. I don’t know if it was because Benny was so young. I have never seen him Discuss Dave and him not taking his mental health meds.
Loved this conversation! So natural. Benny doesn’t get enough credit for what a rad human he is. Not just talented, but truly a dope individual! I would be convinced he was an INFJ is not for his seemingly brilliant extroverted personality. Anyway, loved this! Thank you!
Αν αυτή η συζήτηση διαρκούσε άλλες 3 ώρες θα την παρακολουθούσα ευχάριστα .Ωστόσο ήταν λες και ήμουν και εγώ εκεί και έπινα τσάι ❤.Και εγώ τα ίδια με την βιταμίνη d είναι πολύ χαμηλά στον οργανισμό μου και να την παίρνω γιατί αλλιώς νιώθω πολύ κουρασμένη.Γνωρισα τον Benny μέσω της Selena γιατί την ακολουθώ χρόνια και την θαυμάζω για το έργο,την ειλικρίνεια της και κυρίως για απενοχοποίηση που έφερε πάνω στα θέματα ψυχική υγείας που τόσα χρόνια τα κρύβουμε σαν την σκόνη κάτω από το χαλί .Χαιρομαι που ο Benny είναι τόσο ειλικρινής , ξεχωριστός,ευχάριστος άνθρωπος και αντιλαμβάνομαι ότι σαν άνθρωποι και σαν ψυχές έχουν πολλά κοινά.Και αυτό δεν έχει να κάνει τόσο με την σχέση όσο με την συνάντηση δύο ψυχών,δύο ανθρώπων,δύο φίλων.Σας εύχομαι τα καλύτερα ❤❤❤❤❤
Benny Blanco sounds so cool. He knows how to connect with people. I think that's the no. 1 skill needed to succeed in anything.
My best friend died this time last year. I am 42, she was 77. We met when I was 19. I miss her so so much and at the same time I feel blessed for having her in my life. One thing she told me many years ago, your best friend is the one you might not see for a year but when finally meet is like you just talked yesterday ❤
Beautiful
Benny is the best better half for Selena. He is the most enthusiastic and positive person.❤ They are each other's ying and yang. Im so happy for the two of them. 🥰
Benny is not only an humble man but a man with a big and wonderful heart. Please don’t let money change who make so wanted and loved.
Benny is a massive influence to me, especially his earlier work behind the scenes in the pop industry. Literally the blueprint for who I want to become! Great interview as always!
Love how clueless Benny was about the podcast and Jay 😂😂😂 his curiosity is 🔥
Benny is an amazing human, Selena and Benny are meant for each other. He's like a wonderful soothing beautiful soul.
I can see why Selena fall in love with Benny. A beautiful, humble, interesting and talented being. I wanted Benny continued asking Jay questions 😂 incredible energy
Your home in ad is gorgeous and so cozy with amazing colors/ textures! Loved it.
When you give a person a chance n actually take some patience n time n get to know someone , then you see their good qualities. Benny is such a kind heart and person 🩵🩷Selena and Benny are like that together🩵💜
benny u will look simple and magical boy, positive energy flows around u
Watching this because of Selena Gomez ❤❤❤
Me too darling
I never watched a podcast from beginning to end. I did it with this one. I feel like I just came out of a therapy room. Good job 👍🏼
I can’t help but feel like these 2 will be friends for a long time after this.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD of Benny Blanco but what a down to earth sweet hearted man 💕 💕 💕 I truly enjoyed listening to him ~
I love this, thank you Jay for bringing Benny to your channel ❤ Benny is so awesome and free spirit
İ try to watch and listen your podcast in my daily life. When I'm watching it felt like this is the first podcast that someone was actually wanted explore and learn rather than only just talk and tell their own story. This podcast was amazing and so genuine. We get to know Benny and you more. He was actually interested. You'll be great friends together. Loved itt thankss🌺
Its always the most unexpected people that really get your soul. Never knew who Benny was until he started Selena. I'm pleased to say he captivated me with this conversation. Super deep and interesting. Loved it!
I loved how fluid the conversation was, involving opinions & stories from both sides. I even forgot it was an interview lol. Loved it and such amazing insight from them both ✨
🧡That was pure JOY, didn’t know much about BENNY, he is a brilliant live wire, thanks!!!🤗
Love love Benny and his mindset!!
Interesting that in this interview, it seemed as if Benny Blanco was the one interviewing Shetty; it just ships how Jay is into himself, because he tried to make the interview about himself.
Benny Blanco is such a humble, intelligent, and a truly very likable man; He is amazing!
This guy is epic! Thanks Benny for sharing your energy !!!
Selena and Benny are a beautiful couple they both deserve real love and happiness 😊 may God bless them always ❤️
benny!!!❤ you are amazing❤ no wonder Queen Selena adores you❤️❤️❤️
Hosting is all about making people feel comfortable, welcome, and connected.
I’ve watched all the videos on this channel & have learned so much but this video has given me the motivation to start all over again. Thank you Jay for what you do & Benny was so authentic & wonderful.
❤❤❤
This was a very fun, playful, and interesting interview. I love that Benny was just as curious in Jay's life; it led to a great conversation. I wish you had more time. It would be interesting to see where the conversation would go. One of my favorite interviews. I love Benny's energy.
I so agree with you. Awesome interview ❤
Thank you for watching!!!
was just rewatching selena's interview (one of my favourites, comfort watch) and got this notification! talk about timing, excited to watch
I love they consider cooking as creative. I always thought that until someone put me in the box and said cooking is not creative. I never accepted that. Anything you do that is not following one's instructions, add your own personality to make you happy, you are being creative. Do you!
THIS!!!
Now i know why selena choosed him to be her boyfriend
He amazing 😻 love him
Not chosed it is chosen my dear
I never had a doubt why she did, he’s such a cool dude ❣️
@@Ajeynaamdhaari636not choosen CHOSE!
Chose ✔️
I loved hearing how he values each moment. He knows how to live life! So inspiring!
This podcast is awesome but this episode is helping me have less fear to start something, like anything without a 100% expectation of being successful at the first try. Keep going please 🙏
Another day, another opportunity at growth-thank you Jay Shetty🙏🏼
You're welcome!
Thanks Jay, thanks Benny! What a beautiful way to look at life ❤
Wow Benny you are awesome!! This is my first time listening to Benny Blanco at all, and I am so inspired to keep creating ❤thank you so much for this!!
I am hyped for life aka the best part❤ the journey ❤ that’s what I took from this.
Only ten minutes in, this is my first time hearing from Benny and his vibe is AMAZING. As someone who is only first trying to to get their foot in music professionally, i'm SO glad to see someone like him to be in the industry. Reassuring and inspiring.
Amazing video, definitely favorite podcast by far. Thank you Jay for making this exist.
He’s a beautiful human being . Thank you for the conversation
Thanks for watching!
Just love this guy. Benny has the softest, most beautiful eyes. Windows to the soul do not lie. Well done Selena ❤

I think we need a Benny / Jay collab on a track 🎶
😂😂😂
I love his voice and his persenality....he is confidence❤❤❤❤❤i love him❤❤❤❤❤ Belena for life❤❤❤❤❤
This is the best podacast i ever watched.❤Benny Blanco
I love how Benny keeps going after having failures. He’s resilient. 😊
this was such a worth it podcast to listen to, such a vibe 🤌🏽
He's very inspirational I love his take on failure always keep going 💯 never give up He's so caring about others also you go Benny Selena definitely picked an amazing person in Benny their great together ❤ loved this interview ❤️
I just adore his fun and sensitive side. No wonder he and Selena are such a sweet couple 💗
He speaks to my soul. Fellow Pisces
Benny Branco has incredible tenacity
You're a good man Benny Blanco...continued success 😍🙏
This human is very unique ❤
Thank you for bringing him on!!! He’s so dope! ❤
❤❤❤
Ok I already know why Selena is so into him. What a such a good vibe guy. I never heard him before speaking and I loved him instantly.
No one cares if you fail. 💛 Very nice podcast. Thank you, Jay!
❤️💞❤️💞❤️ You can tell how human he is, very calm, genuine & dowm to earth person, accomodating, hospitable & loves to be of service to his friends & family. He doesn't talk like a celebrity. He talks like a normal human being with so much emotion on every thing that he says. He's such a warm, loving, gentle, sweet & romantic person. Now I undersrand why Selena claim that she won being with Benny.💞 Well, I think she did.❤️ I'm so glad that Benny & Selena found each other. You guys deserve each other. All the Best! ❤💞 Just ignore the bitter ones & the haters. They were not loved & are not loved that's why they are full of hate. You can understand the envy & the jealousy bec. they do not have a winning personality unlike you. Stay Strong! We Love You & Selena, Remember that! ❤💞❤️💞❤️
Bro this interview is so funny😂😂 just chill getting to know eachother---love it
One of my favourites interviews! What a fascinating person Benny, smart, funny and kind.
Wow, this is one of the best and most interesting interviews I've seen!!! 👏❤😃 I even told my daughter about your podcast by far the best out here on RUclips! Thanks again for this amazing interview.
Benny seems like a very cool person! Great interview! ❤
His podcast is really an outstanding one to be an expert in listening. I have been learning English since for 2 years, and (have) watched thousands of videos in English and enjoyed them. Still I was a problem to understand conversation when two people conversated into a new topic. His channel really helped me absolutely, and I am also learning new updated things that I have never ever known.
Me too
But i started to learn 9 month
Benny is so great!!!! I loved everything about this!
Thank you jay introduce Benny Blanco on ur show......he is talented,funny and gentleman❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
He seems to be a no show off pure heart ❤️...great for Selena 🌟
I remember being with Pat Summitt, who was one of the all-time greatest college basketball coaches, when she won the NCAA tournament. She said after she said, after having one it six times before, you enjoy it that night and the next day it’s back at working to do it again! From the outside, it looks like you would bask in the glory forever, but I don’t think most of the joy is in the winning, but in the journey.
i love that benny asked jay questions too!!
Same!!!
Great video. I find Benny to be very genuine and I love that he asks Jay questions and he really listens. I am 60 years old and when it comes to s to Selena, if someone ever mistreats her, the mama bear comes out. I am so happy that Selena found such a gem with Benny Blanco. ❤️
This guy is highly intelligent 💫👏
Benny is amazing
Agreed!
