I’m so excited to officially announce Perfect Strangers, a production company devoted to telling stories that remind us we’re not alone, spanning across film, television, podcasting, and beyond.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by one truth: we are more connected than we think.

In our busiest moments, our loneliest seasons, and in rooms full of people, it’s easy to feel like no one else understands what we’re going through.

But over and over again, I’ve seen the opposite to be true.

Our lives often overlap in unexpected ways.
Our stories echo each other.
And the people we think of as strangers aren’t really strangers at all.

That belief has guided so much of my work over the years, and recently, it’s helped me create something bigger…

Perfect Strangers is committed to creating films, shows, and podcasts, but at its heart, our commitment is sharing stories that create connection.

The podcast arm of Perfect Strangers will bring together musicians, actors, athletes, founders, creators, experts, and thinkers, not as performers, but as people. These episodes will be honest conversations that make you laugh, shape a new perspective, and think, “I’ve felt that, too.”

Over nine years ago, I uploaded my first video to Facebook and YouTube without knowing where it would lead. I only knew I wanted to make ancient wisdom accessible to a modern audience. Those videos garnered billions of views, and in 2019, my mission expanded through my podcast, On Purpose, with the vision of making the world healthier, happier, and more healed.

Now, through Perfect Strangers, that vision is being brought to the next level. I can’t wait for us to be on this journey of sharing stories, building community, and reminding one another that none of us are really strangers.

With gratitude,
Jay

Try This: Read through this exercise and try it the next time you cross paths with someone. That “someone” could be a stranger, acquaintance, or anyone you don’t know very well.

Ask yourself:

Building a bridge with a stranger helps you see how shared experiences can soften the space between you and “them.”

That moment of recognition is often all it takes to remember: we’re more connected than we think.
