Zach seems so honest. It's very important to have people like him as role models. I always want to listen what he has to say. I'm a fan since Chuck❤️
he is a no nonsense type of celebrity but still knows how to have fun...i love him!
Same here! I’ve been a big fan since Chuck. He’s my kind of superhero!
Renata Vilas-Boas me too He’s a great person now, but for those who have known him since he was a wee lad, he’s #StillChuckToMe 😁😉 so glad he’s doing well
Fan since Chuck too !
Same!!! Legit!!!
Zachary is gonna help bring kingdom to this world and he doesn't even know it. God bless this man. Keep your hand on him and protect him ❤❤❤
Amen
Zachary levi is a real life disney prince😍😍😍
He's my prince 😍😍😍
Couldn't agree more!
😍😍😍😍
Yes, and I wouldn't mind being his real life princess 😉
When he talks: Flynn Rider
When I see him in reality: Oh hi Chuck and Shazam.
Whoa you wouldn't think Zachary Levi suffers from depression and anxiety. He comes across as a happy go lucky guy with a quick witted humour.
Loved him since Tangled.
Omg Flynn?! I thought the name looked familiar 😱
Humor and being happy isn't the opposite of Mental illness. Both still part of it.
@@misossucken7280 exactly
Loved him since Alvin & the chipmunks. 😉
it's honestly surprising how the people with most friendly, goofy, happy personalities are suffering from these conditions, off the top of my head
Zachary Levi
Robin Williams
Chester Bennington
Heath Ledger
I love you Zach and all of the names I previously mentioned,
*Skipping meditation and mindfulness is like neglecting the self.*
Take care of your soul, because it dictates your overall health.
I really do agree with you. We need to try to keep our minds fit the same way we try to keep our bodies fit.
I would love for Zachary to write a book about his journey. He has such a way with words. I think it would be amazing.
Me too
Zac is writing a book that is scheduled to come out in June 2022.
@@IguanaMom Thank you! I'm so excited to read it!
@@heather6852 me too. It's called 'Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others'. I've already pre-ordered it at Amazon. There's also an audiobook narrarated by Zac.
@@IguanaMomit’s amazing
Just met him in Dallas & he’s so damn amazing. Stayed late to meet all his fans. He’s beautiful. Majestic even.
jazlyn renee He came to Utah a day earlier so he can spend more time with more fans. Sooo sweet! Was able to meet him then :)
FadedMemories94 he’s amazing right?!
I decided to watch this because I saw Zach, but I did not expect at all to have such a HUGE impact in my life...
This has changed my life in so many aspects, and I could not be more grateful
Zachary is a bliss. God bless him and keeps him safe and happy.
He just oozes such light and beauty, he's a beautiful Man and he understands how God works very well
The Lord is so good. His timing is prefect.
exactly
I completely agree. As a Christian, it's nice to see a Christian in the acting world.
“We are both infinitely valuable and entirely unimportant.” Perfectly captured the spiritual and the human perspective of self. Well said!
This was one of the most incredible interviews I ever heard. Most times it felt as though Zach was speaking my mind. I mean, those were totally my words. Just goes to show how much he resonated with me. He was honest and powerful and I loved his essence, so positive, so full of love and gratitude. Beautiful, really. Jay was amazing, too. My favourite. Love your energy. God bless.
Zach is one of the most heart centred people on the planet and has a great inner free child too .
Sooooo authentic. Seeing chuck and following his nerd hq conversations for a cause , saved me from a bitter and hating heart after my 27 year marriage breakup. He has so much love in him , he helped bring me back to my loving self. 🙏🏻 I can’t thank this hoooman enough. Xx🥰
Met him in Dallas a week ago. Didn’t know about his struggles before watching this video today. When I expressed gratitude for his show Chuck and how it helped me understand that even though I was raised by a perfectionist to be a perfectionist, which led to over 100 scars over my entire body(several nicked veins and at least one tendon), that it was ok to not be perfect, and I could just be me, he gave me a short motivational speech. He is the nicest human being I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with, that wasn’t blood related to me that is. I wish him well and will always be grateful. It’s nice to stop hating yourself(still working on that, but it’s nice to hate myself less than I did yesterday)
Thanks for sharing a little of your journey. It warms my heart to read that your overcoming yourself bit by bit. One of my favorite people is Dr. Joe Dispenza if you have time to check out what he does.
Hey kiddo, I getcha, and I know it feels impossible to do, but if you try to think this all the time, it helps. Not one human being is perfect or ever gonna be. The only perfect being is God. So it's totally cool and right that all of us are just like you and it's ok that none of us are perfect! Jesus took that burden from us angel😘❤️
Wow I am.so happy he knows the Lord....so handsome!
same,
that makes 3 of us then
How much do I love Zachary Levi right now. Even more than before. Such a a depth of character. Thank you for this Jay 🙏🏾😊
Same here. Loved him in Tangled.
Peace and Hope
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Chist.
Romans 5:1
I’ve always been a huge fan! I’ve followed his work since Chuck. I’ve always loved him because of he has always been openly Christian. I pray that he always remains true to Christ! 🙏🙏🙏
Zach is just so real! Love his honesty, enthusiasm, and willingness to share himself with all of us. Hollywood has so much plastic it's so nice to see a genuine really nice guy! Zach reminds me of the real guy next door. Love his work and him!
This is by far the best interview I've seen him do..it is really awesome of him to open up like that..alot of what he said he went through I found myself nodding my head because I had went through something similar..Zachary Levi is a rare person in Hollywood,he is someone who is thoughtful,kind,and compassionate..I really like his vibe ☺
now knowing about his childhood, the way he connects to Shazam and with the rest of the cast just hits differently.
The days you don’t want to are the days you really have to if you want to reach your goal. - Jay Shetty,
Another great video indeed!!
yes yes yes!
*3 very underrated and underappreciated sef care methods.*
Take care of your mind just as much as your body.
I grew up watching Chunk and I am just so in awe of Zachary's real life personality, honesty and depth especially as a guy, I would never have imagined he would be the kind of person to be out here talking about all the things he shared. So much value received, so much inspiration, his energy is infectious, thank you Mr Shetty for bringing such authentic and vitalising characters on to your podcast! Much appreciation.
he is genuinely such a sweet guy. i was so lucky to meet him last weekend and sit and listen to a q&a panel. he is such an amazing person to have to look up to. he encourages me to make myself better and get help that i sometimes need.
You can be the most popular, famous, rich person in the world but if there is no growth in your life all of this is meaningless! What a great quote!
Meditation and prayer are a healthy treat to the body. We must practice self love and self care.
agreed!
Such a genuine likable person,continue to grow your faith in God.
God bless you.
I am at a loss for words. I don’t even know where to start. Every word Zach speaks resonates with my life story. It’s like listening to a male version of me. If I were in his company, we could, no doubt, talk for DAYS. Guinness Book of World Records wouldn’t hold a candle to the conversation I would eagerly LOVE to have with this wise old soul. My head is saying so many thoughts right now that I can’t even begin to sort out their relevance. I have always wished to find just one person who could understand me, feel what I feel. I too, am a very deep thinker and feeler, to the point it’s too heavy for most to comprehend, if you could believe that. I also dislike Social Media for the most part but it did help me discover Zachary and this platform and for that I am truly grateful!❤️🥰❤️🙂
I so LOVE Zachary Levi. That man is amazing in so many ways.
I'm baffled why his underrated. He should be up there with Hugh Jackman and Bradley Cooper. The guy can sing and act. Don't believe me watch Tangled and hear his duet with Mandy Moore for I See The Light. It makes me smile and in awe.
I can't believe this interview was three years ago. Right after the first "Shazam" came out and now the second one is coming and here I am again.......fining over Zachary AGAIN!
BEST EPISODE EVERRRRRR HE IS AMAZING HUMAN BEING!!!! THANK YOU JAY
Now I appreciate Zach even more, thanks Jay! :)
Zach, I love you even more. Thanks for being brave and sharing your truth, your faith, your story and your enthusiasm. Jay thanks for putting out content that lifts and inspires.
As a mental health therapist who has as one of her goals to decrease the stigma on mental health, listening to Zach promote and support my field and what me and all my colleagues do is so incredibly amazing. Thank you to both Zachary Levi and you Jay, for being promoters of things that matter so much
Me too. Describes me as well.
It's how my faith changed too. I totally get that.
So true. The faith you were taught can be different than the one you experience, my Christianity is markedly different than what I was told to believe.
can you explain what this phrase means to you?
hey! could you explain what this phrase means to you?
*Just as it takes time for the mud in muddy water to settle, meditation only yields fruit if it is practiced regularly for a long time*
You haven't changed. You are still the honest, charismatic and genuine boy that I remember.
Wow. What a beautiful being. In every sense of the word 💖💖💖
This is such a beautiful episode. Thanks Jay and Zach.
I can listen to him all day!! Love watching him grow.
Same here. His being honest with the world now as he wants to show his fans all over that behind his quick witted humour and his lovable personality plus being handsome, he is literally a guy who's suffered from mental health and he just couldn't cope with keeping his private life in anymore
Be proud Zachary Levi. You are a great guy who's just going to become a A List star. Thank you Zac for being the man you are.
*Meditation will open your mind to new ideas and new opportunities. It’s such a powerful tool for discovering who you are. Just takes a little bit of time each day.*
How do I meditate. Don't know how to do it
@@womanofgod9768 sit in a quite place. Close your eyes and breath deeply. Focus on your breath and relax into the meditation
God bless you Zach. You made me feel so special when I met you. Great podcast
I really love how he always appreciate what life offered to him
He's a cutie, and so talented! :) proud of him and excited he's in Texas, my home state!
I love that he has so much emotional intelligence, and loves to share his experiences. It truly helps others understand that even people who seem they have everything under control deal with anxiety and depression.
Like he said empathy is the key to a lovely world.
I love this man. So inspired. And really relate in soo many ways. Love hearing someone talk about LOVE so much!! And how to live that out, day to day. Thank you both.
This made me really emotional and you both were really speaking to me. I'm grateful that I watched this.
Same. Never would have thought that he had a abuse background with his mother and his mother is no longer alive and there was a time where Zac was suicidal. I was stunned. He comes across as a real humble devil may care handsome guy with a quick witted humour and is a real life of sunshine..
Everyone wears a mask. We see people and wish oh god I wish I was this girl and that person and deep down those people aren't who we think they are.
Why am i just finding this out? Zachary Levi is a blessing to all of us. Protect him please.
This the truth right here to transforming your life - Therapy, meditation and prayer 🙏🏼
Zachary Levi is the man
I always was a fan and loved Zachary Levi. Now, I am elevated to a new level of admiration and respect.
Zachary’s message is SO important ❤️💛 thank you for this video
My GOD, he is so WISE! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
For a celebrity to admit and promote a spiritual life who believes in God/ higher power is refreshing. And to also do the deep dive into mental health..... It makes me appreciate him on all new levels. ❤️
❤favorite podcast ever 😊 Respect for both of you amazing people ❤🙏
My heart is so full after watching this ❤️ Thank you 🙏
what an incredibly honest, wonderful human being! love his personality. God bless Zac
Dude, this is incredible. Zach and Jay! Thank you so so so much.
Just love the 'rawness ' of sharing the truth and having such insight to identify reality against all odds.
Love him!!!! Chuck is one of my all time favorite shows. This is an incredible interview. Thank you!
Your every podcast is just helpful on this beautiful journey! Thankyou thankyou thankyou so much.
Thanks, Jay❤🙏🙌 these podcasts are absolutely amazing.
Wow! I remember seeing him in a movie before he had gotten married, and remembered thinking he's special. This interview just makes me like him even more! I love your videos!
Zachary is an optimist. Therefore he will constantly be prone to depression. I really enjoyed this interview !
Sophie Morin That is not true.
Man he is wonderful - this should be showned in class rooms. He is teaching life. Love it.
Love this I just channelled 3 stages to enlightenment after 10 years soul searching for answers. As a medium for 30+ year. Channelling I have always loved as it helped me on my spiritual journey..keep up the good work...
This podcast resonated deep with me. Got a lot to say but saying this for now. Im very grateful that i came across this podcast and thanks to Zach (who is one of my favourite male actors) jay for blessing us with this platform.
I love this interview so much. So genuine--pure light and love. I wish people would speak more openly about mental health. Please don't ever stop singing, Zach. 💖 Amazingly talented!
Patience, gratitude and humility were the key ideas I got from here! Amazing podcast❤
Love this discussion. So scattered, authentic, and genuine. Wow. Just wow
I love every topic on this episode. Totally on point to what I've been going through lately. Thanks, Zach and Jay! Peace!
Zachary is one of the best people to listen to on a podcast.
Zach u're such an amazingly energetic person... u're just much more and much beyond Entertainment or Charm.
Even ur "Shazam" character is so very energetically appealing... it feels that u're conveying ur energy frm a diffrnt level... and it energizes the viewers not only while they're watching... but it kind of remains or stays with us long after.
So... in all can't thank u any more for all of these things. I'm so grateful that I could witness ur authentic charm, energy and realistic positivity. Keep going man ! Wish u all the Luck .😀😀😊😊😊
Hearing ~Listening to stuff ~means anything jus choose to ~
God bless you guys ~ All the best
Thank you for having him on. This is really helpful, knowing that someone this important also grew from parental abuse. Also, I appreciated knowing that it is okay to stumble around in search of finding the value in ourselves.
This was amazing. I have gone through alot of this as well and am still in the process of healing. I am so glad this popped up for me. Thank you Zach for sharing. It means alot.
Wow. I’ve been struggling with my own journey lately and I’m glad that I sat and watched this whole interview because it really just reminded me and put things into perspective that what I’m going through is normal.. even though it’s so hard to see it sometimes on down days, but just knowing that there IS a solution for what I’m facing gives me so much hope. My journey is my own and God is showing me to embrace and TRUST that and to let go of wanting control over what he will have control over. God is good and will always make a way. Bless✨❤️
I can SEE how much he has grown as a person and it is SO moving. Such a beautiful, passionate soul- I've got tears in my eyes. Zachary is the good the world needs so much more of.
The conversation was so relatable.. so heart warming.. it feels good to know that I am not alone.. that I am okay.. that I just need to have more patience to let life happen the way it is supposed to be.. I hope I can start to love myself and practice gratitude.. thanks a ton @jayshetty & @zacharylevi
Wow. Zack's story is so powerful. I could relate to so much of it. Thank you for this. My mom heart wants to adopt him.
What a masterpiece of an interview! I loved each and every minute. Everything he said was so valuable!💛
Wow! Amazing interview! Exactly what i needed to hear! Was just praying/venting to God about feeling inadequate/worthless and He led me right to this. God bless you Zack! Keep shining that light He placed in you!
Jay you are such a champion! You provide such high quality content consistently🙏🏽 Thank you man! Also the timing of this video is impeccable. I was just thinking today about creativing a video on the power of meditation and journaling so this is very much on topic. Super keen to learn from you two gentleman. Much love from Johannesburg 😊
I do the exact same thing he was talking about where I get emotional from feeling so grateful for my life. Even simple things like being able to have a delicious meal or tickle fights with my daughter. I always find myself emotional and grateful to be born in a time with all these amazing books, video games, and media that have changed me and inspired me as a person. Im very happy to grow up with some amazing characters as role models. Im the nerdy type who gets very emotional over fictional characters 😂 but yes, I find myself stopping at times, when happiness is just bubbling over in my chest, and thanking God for that moment and for my life❤
Absolutely inspiring! Sometimes thoughts and emotions we experience feel so clear while being confusing at the same time. Observing, Zachary in this instance, putting into words and sharing experiences truly helps counsel a mediation of our thoughts & emotions. In addition to the entire experience of this discussion; his sharing of emotions & pain when observing the world around him (the shedding of tears for others) clarified so much. Simply - awesome!
I love this man - this world needs more people like Zach
I loved that interview! It's like all the things that I have wanted to say to as many people as possible were said by these two incredible men! I have reached the same realizations through my experience and the knowledge I have gained over the years. And it's a wonderful experience to be able to feel as part of the same flock of birds flying in the same direction. The sense of belonging, mutuality, like-mindedness and friendship of souls was and is amazing. Thank you, Jay and Zach!
This interview here 🙌🙌 when I say everything he spoke on I have been through especially the marriage and self love thank you Zach for being so open and honest with us ❤️
Mr Jay Shetty I think you helped us see the self talk we all do and you graciously allowed him to see his own mind process~
+ 36:03 🤯
This guy is such an inspiration. I was truly speechless in many parts of this podcast. It resonated with me more than a lot of things I've ever listened to. Furthermore, I've listened to a ton of self help but Jay consistently teaches me more every listen. I'm so grateful. Thank you
OMG, so thankful for the chance to share his experience. It is so enlightenening and full of energy. I feel I could use this video as motivation from now on. Can't wait to see more of him on this type of videos but I get the feeling he is just the portal for unaware people of this world of self worth and love for the world. And that is enough. ❤️ Great video
We all seek validation from others in some way, because the feeling of significance and value work to help us justify our existence and purpose.
You are one of the people who helped me through a lot of difficult times. I am 15 and I love writing motivational texts. When I grow up I wanna be like a motivational speaker. You make my days happier and helps me a lot. I have 2 idols: You and Prince Ea. Your videos guys help a lot to a lot of people. You should know, you change many person's life. I just wanna say thank you in the name of us.I started making motivational videos too, that I would like to motivate, help you with and if you have a few minutes to watch them I would really appreciate it. Hope I can give you a little self confidence or make your day a little better. Keep up with the perfect videos Jay!
It is young people like you that give me great hope for humanity and its future..it is young people like you who will help make this world a better place through compassion,mindfulness,and love..blessings upon you and I wish you much happiness,abundance,and joy in your life..you are wonderful and special ☺
@@sunshinemishasmommy5352 Thank you so so much for your nice words
@18:50 looks like he's gonna cry. I can relate to his past. Cool guy. Happy for his success and hope it continues
3 minutes in and i had to get my note book. Thank you Jay for this interview! 🙏
After having viewed this session three times (once in the background, then watching and taking notes and then a final time just listening), I have three words. This saved me. Experiencing the current world situation has brought me to a place where I never thought I would be. I wouldn’t say it’s a deep dark place, but it’s a place that has made me more self-aware and observant to my true inner feelings. The thought provoking and overwhelming amount of candor and transparency expressed in this session brought gratitude into my heart. I’m definitely one not to show my heart on my sleeve right from the start. It takes large amounts of built up frustrations and trust for any one person to see it. This allowed me to see the inner me. It’s no coincidence that this presented itself to me when it did. As the month of May is Mental Health Awareness month, this was perfectly timed to come into my life. Now a year later, I would be interested in seeing and hearing a follow-up with this discussion especially during the current global event. I wonder if Mr. Levi would consider starting a foundation to bring more awareness to this topic or continue this journey with a podcast of his own.
I was brought to tears of hope and appreciation when I heard the below learning’s from this session.
“To learn, to grow to thrive, to choose to educate, enlighten and enliven yourself”
“Be a conduit of love, of life, of light”
“Find value, find purpose”
“Self-awareness is the heart of self love; to know yourself, to love yourself; knowledge makes love deeper”
“Be brave enough, vulnerable enough with your journey and our testimony”
“Right here, right now, be present”
There is purpose for me in this world”
These simple words of wisdom have now brought new meaning to my life. For that I will forever be eternally grateful.
Thank You God/Universe for the life of Jay & Zachary ... Zachary & Jay Thank You for sharing your Light/Love/Wisdom & Peace with Us!!! I went through a lot of similar things as Zachary... Wow, so Grateful for being alive in this time period of awakening! Let's make the world more Peaceful, Loving and Spiritual!!!
There is a huge difference between being emotional and having emotional intelligence. 1. Being Emotional....... meditation, Yoga, mindfulness and journaling all require you to understand your emotions but if you emotional intelligence using meditation, Yoga, mindfulness and journaling can help you understand your emotions very deep leading you to self-Actualization. Thank you Jay
