Jay Shetty

Jay Shetty is a British-American author, podcast host, and purpose coach widely recognized for translating ancient wisdom into modern life advice. He rose to global prominence through viral video content on social media, amassing billions of views, and hosts 'On Purpose,' one of the world's most popular podcasts. His work sits at the intersection of wellness, personal development, and media — not the AdTech industry specifically. Shetty trained as a monk in India for three years before pivoting to media and content creation. He joined NowThis and HuffPost as a video producer and storyteller before building his own independent brand. His 2020 book 'Think Like a Monk' became a New York Times bestseller, and he has built a certification school for coaches and a broad digital media enterprise. While Shetty is not an AdTech professional, his work is tangentially relevant to the digital media ecosystem as a major content creator and publisher whose platforms engage with digital advertising, brand partnerships, and influencer marketing at scale. He represents the creator economy segment that AdTech platforms increasingly serve.
