Michael B. Jordan spent years feeling guilty about his own success. Now he thinks the guilt was the job description.
In this clip, Michael B. Jordan and Jay Shetty talk about growing up in North New Jersey with two present parents, a house everybody came to, and no idea at the time that the family was broke.
He opens up about the call you can only make to your mom once you’re old enough to understand what she carried, the years he couldn’t accept a blessing without questioning why it landed on him, and the moment he stopped calling it luck and started calling it a path.
Learn about the chip he got from sharing a name with the greatest ever, what he’s obsessed with right now, and the one thing he’d have said years earlier if he wasn’t afraid of how people would react.
