EP. 260 — The CONtent Creator & M.O.N.K. (w/ Kiran Deol)
Comedian/actor Kiran Deol is here to help spill the tea on celebrity life coach Jay Shetty—the former Hindu monk who started a self-help social media empire and an immensely successful podcast. However, Jay built his brand by plagiarizing content from smaller creators and his life coaching school made false claims about its accreditations. Oh and one more thing… the details of his spiritual origin story don’t quite add up. Namaste schemin’ Con-gregation!
This story was exclusively reported by The Guardian’s John McDermott in his article, “Uncovering the higher truth of Jay Shetty“
