Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Parenting today feels like navigating endless advice while quietly wondering if you’re doing any of it right. Jay sits down with bestselling author and economist Emily Oster to unpack one of the most overwhelming journeys many people will ever face: becoming a parent. In a world filled with endless advice, social media pressure, and conflicting research, parenting can start to feel like a test you’re constantly failing. Emily offers a refreshing, data-driven perspective that helps parents cut through the noise, separating real evidence from the myths that fuel unnecessary anxiety. From pregnancy and fertility to sleep training and screen time, this conversation reveals what truly matters and what parents can finally let go of. Together, Jay and Emily challenge many of the parenting beliefs we’ve accepted without question. They explore why modern parents feel so overwhelmed by information and expectations, when the data actually shows there are many “right” ways to raise a child. Emily breaks down how correlation is often mistaken for causation in parenting advice and how that misunderstanding quietly drives guilt, fear, and comparison. Whether it’s breastfeeding versus formula, screen time, sleep training, or developmental milestones, Emily encourages parents to move away from perfection and toward confident, thoughtful decision-making. In this episode you'll learn: How to Stop Overthinking Parenting Decisions How to Decide What Parenting Advice to Ignore How to Choose the Sleep Strategy That Works for Your Family How to Raise Kids with a Growth Mindset How to Plan Parenting Decisions Before Problems Arise How to Let Go of the Pressure to Parent Perfectly Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially in a world filled with endless advice, opinions, and expectations.

    The Trust Recession: Why Prospects Don't Buy Even When They Need You

    Your prospects don't care about your solution. They're asking themselves one question—and you're missing it. Join Brad Friedman and Ari Galper as they unpack trust-based selling, the idea of a "trust recession," and how business owners can replace pressure-based sales tactics with a more human, trust-building approach so you can improve conversions without chasing prospects. Ari Galper is a leading voice in trust-based selling and the founder of AriAI, a trust-based AI sales and business growth platform. In this conversation, he explains why traditional selling has become commoditized and why prospects often decide whether to trust you as a person before they ever evaluate your solution. He also shares his "doctor, not pharmacist" mindset, breaks down how to use trust-based language in sales conversations, and explains why many business owners should focus on fixing conversion problems before trying to generate more leads. Ari's work is especially relevant for low-volume, high-margin businesses with longer sales cycles, including advisors, attorneys, consultants, and software sales professionals who need stronger conversations, not just more activity.
