This isn’t the Jimmy Fallon that you see on TV. This is the human behind the performer. I’m honoured to be sitting down with @Jimmy Fallon today on The Diary Of A CEO. Jimmy is someone that I’ve looked up to since I was young so it feels surreal to have him on our show today! Jimmy is one of America’s most iconic and longest-running late-night talk shows who has revolutionised the late-night genre by embracing social media and viral video formats. The first thing that I asked Jimmy when he sat down was: what do I need to know about you to understand the man that you are? and when I ask that question, I'm specifically trying to understand his earliest context because he is an anomaly, but anomaly that was very, very clear on where he wanted to go in his life from a shockingly young age. So in today’s conversation, we cover: - How he nearly quit it all. - What fame gave him and what it took away? - How he built his entire life around one single goal… - The years of rejection before the breakthrough. - What he’d say to his younger self on the verge of giving up. And more. I haven’t seen Jimmy open up like this before. We spoke about the obsession that consumed him. The setbacks that nearly broke him. The anxiety, the moment he almost gave up entirely and the inner conviction that wouldn’t let him quit. It's so unbelievably apparent to me as someone that's just spent a little bit of time for him, that he is incredibly pure, well-intentioned, happy person who has a really authentic desire to spread to that to other people, and in fact, gains a tremendous amount of energy and happiness from making people like me happy. We need more people like that in the world, especially in times like these where there's so much division and the internet is an absolute war zone. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one, let me know them after you’re finished watching.
