What’s one dream you really want to make real? Do you feel you’re wishing for it or working toward it? In this special live recording from The Met in Philadelphia, Jay sits down with Grammy-nominated artist Big Sean for a deeply vulnerable and inspiring conversation. Big Sean opens up about the battles he faced behind the spotlight, the depression, the pressure, and the moments he thought about giving up. His story shows the power of turning pain into growth through therapy, meditation, and faith. It’s a reminder that no matter what we achieve, we all face challenges that push us to heal, grow, and reconnect with who we really are. Sean reflects on the transformative lessons passed down from his family and how those shaped his understanding of resilience, self-belief, and manifestation. Together, he and Jay explore the difference between wishing and manifesting, showing how intention, attention, and action can turn your vision into reality. They dive into the importance of releasing the pressure to please others, the value of embracing both wins and losses, and how real confidence is built by how you rise up after setbacks. For Sean, the highs and lows are both essential parts of the journey, both carrying the power to shape us.
