Only on CalmJay Shetty sits down with Dax Shepard to talk about valuing yourself and sticking to what you believe in above all.

Living with two opposing ideas can be challenging but these will give us new and better life perspectives. Dax Shepard is an actor, comedian, writer, and director, and of course podcast host of one of my favorite podcasts, Armchair Expert.
