We're joined by reporter John McDermott, whose recent investigation into the self-proclaimed 'monk' turned corporate lifestyle guru Jay Shetty, has caused ruptures in online life coaching and wellness influencer circles. John talks to us about how Shetty went from being a blogger living in the suburbs of north London to a personal guru for celebrities like Oprah and Will Smith, the unique aspects of American celebrity that facilitated his rise to fame. We also talk about Johns process of uncovering the inconsistencies in Shetty's origin story – particularly his claims of being a monk – and what they suggest, more broadly, about our collective attitude toward truth on the internet.
