Russ ON: How to Change Your Self-Critical Mindset & The Truth Behind the Emotional Struggles of Men
Descripción del Episodio
Have you tirelessly pursued a dream, only to discover an underlying emptiness even after achieving it?
Many have experienced this paradox of achieving a dream, yet still feeling unfulfilled.
It's a common experience where the pursuit of a goal doesn't always lead to lasting contentment.
Today, we have a special guest who's been on the podcast before - multi-platinum rapper, singer-songwriter, producer, and best-selling author - Russ.
Russ talks to us about his successful music career and the highs and lows that come with fame and excess. He shares his self-development journey and the realizations he's come to by facing his emotions and going to therapy.
Russ' fifth studio album SANTIAGO was released on August 18th, 2023.
In our quest for understanding, we shatter the myth of perfectionism, revealing its often-hidden undercurrents and the misconceptions around seeking help. We will examine the roles we play in the lives of others and the profound effects of vulnerability on our connections, the profound shift in mindset that dismantles rigidity and nurtures flexibility, and the role of emotional suppression in men's lives.
Intriguing conversations lead us to the heart of healthy internal dialogue, providing tools to process thoughts and emotions while nurturing a sense of self-awareness. We contemplate the intricate relationship between our identities and the roles we assume, and the transformative effects of releasing these roles when they no longer serve us.
In this interview, you will learn:
The emotional struggles of men
The misconceptions about being a perfectionist
How to have a healthy dialogue with yourself
How to get around destructive habits
How evolution is part of personal growth
How to become flexible in life
We invite you to join us on this deep exploration of self, witnessing the power of embracing authenticity and confronting insecurities head-on.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
