KIMMEL CULTURAL CAMPUS PRESENTS BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND AWARD-WINNING STORYTELLER, JAY SHETTY ON HIS FIRST WORLD TOUR, LOVE RULES
FEBRUARY 21, 2023
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (December 15, 2022) – The Kimmel Cultural Campus, in partnership with Live Nation, presents #1 New York Times best-selling author, former Hindu monk, life coach, and host of the podcast, On Purpose, Jay Shetty, on his first ever world tour entitled Love Rules – playing the Academy of Music on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. Shetty will take audiences on a journey of finding, keeping, and even letting go of love.
Jay Shetty is dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. In 2019, Shetty created On Purpose, a podcast that reached 64 million downloads, ranking #1 on Spotify in India and in Apple’s Top 20 Podcasts of the Year in its first year. On Purpose is now the world’s #1 Health & Wellness podcast according to Forbes. Guests have included talent from various backgrounds, such as Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, Will Smith, Kobe Bryant, Alicia Keys, Novak Djokovic, Ray Dalio, among others.
“Jay Shetty is one of the most empowering and humble speakers to emerge in the field of mindfulness and wellness,” said Frances Egler, Senior Director of Programming and Presentations on the Kimmel Cultural Campus. “This focus is the betterment of others – from his podcast to professional endeavors, and even as co-founder of Joyo Tea. Hosting him for the very first time on our Campus, it is our hope Philadelphia audiences are moved by this show, leaving with new perspectives and positive outlooks.”
At age 21, Shetty became a monk. He spent four summers in India interning at corporations and training with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, known as the Hare Krishna movement, and three years living a Vedic monk lifestyle at an ashram in Mumbai, India.
Shetty has a myriad of accolades under his belt. In 2019, AdWeek dubbed him a Young Influentials cover star, describing him as “an emanation of spiritual force.” In 2017, Forbes named him to the 30 Under 30 List for being a game changer in media. People Magazine has named him “one to watch.” In 2018 and 2019, the Streamy’s named him the Best Health & Wellness Creator of the Year. His videos have been viewed more than 10 billion times and he is followed by over 50 million people across social media.
In 2020, Jay authored his first book, “Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Everyday.” The book debuted at #1 on the New York Times, #1 on the Sunday Times and was deemed “un-put-down-able” by Amazon, where it held the #1 spot worldwide. Following the immense success and millions of copies sold of Jay’s first book, on January 31, 2023, Jay will release his second book, “8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go.” Learn more at 8RulesofLove.com.
When Shetty isn’t writing or making videos, he is coaching as the founder of the Jay Shetty Certification School, a purpose driven educational institution offering accredited certifications in life coaching to individuals and organizations. He has been a keynote speaker around the world on global stages on behalf of powerhouses like Google, Microsoft, Netflix, HSBC, and has developed corporate training programs for many of these organizational clients.
