Benny Blanco & Selena: Mature Communication

Reaching 5 million subscribers is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to the shared journey of growth, healing, and curiosity this community has built together. In this special episode, Jay revisits the conversations that shaped On Purpose, moments where global icons, artists, world leaders, and visionaries shared the truths that made them human.

Jay reflects on the life-changing conversations that continue to echo long after the recording ends. Tom Holland opens up about the quiet struggle behind giving up alcohol, teaching us that letting go of what no longer serves us is an act of bravery not loss. Kobe shares how to look past fear by facing it with stillness and curiosity, revealing that discipline and consistency are the real foundations of excellence. Emma Watson invites us to build relationships from wholeness, not need, and reminds us that asking the hard questions can lead to the most liberating truths.

Madonna shows how spirituality can be the grounding force beneath ambition, while Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez model how relationships grow when honesty becomes a shared practice. Former President Joe Biden closes with a timeless lesson, that presence is often the greatest form of love, and that resilience is born through community.
