0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.
0:49How do you block out the noise of the outer world or block out the noise of the inner world of the outer world so that you can stay present and focused on creating your craft? because you guys have so many, so much busy lives. Like kids, this, that, touring, business, fans, social media, it's like there's distractions everywhere. Maybe it's not distractions, but there's things that need your time and attention all day long. How do you block it out, the outer world and the inner world, to just say, hey, we're just going to create art today. We're going to focus on this and not be on the phone or check with this person or whatever it might be.
1:22How do we navigate that? There was a season in my life where it was probably the most challenging season of my life and I couldn't escape comments and negativity headlines. And so that was like the forefront of my day or getting a call. Like, hey, there's this like from a PR person. You're like, gosh, like, like, and you're just wanting to also got to go show up. Put on a smile and be positive and yeah. And go on stage. And so I guess to answer your question, there was a director I worked with J.D. Dillard and above his monitor he said what do you want them to feel and I wrote that on my like backstage mirror like every night and you realize that this is their show the audience's show and they deserve the best and it's okay to be vulnerable I think you fight that for so long to be like I gotta like I gotta show these people that I like, oh, it doesn't matter.
2:24It's totally okay to be like, yeah, this is tough. And this is like a challenge, but like I'm here. And I think people respect it more. Authenticity wins, like always. And it's not always easy. I think like there was times where I'd just break down to these guys and, or be like, I, and they would have a real conversation. Like, do you want to cancel tonight? Or do you want to like, you know, not sing this song or that song? I'm like, nope, I'll do it all. Because I feel like that's what they deserve. and um i know that i'm not we're not hyper unique individuals going through certain situations in our life like everyone's going through something whether if it you know feels like it's a big thing in your life or it feels like a little thing in your life it's you're going through something and um it was so beautiful to be i was at a con a cold play concert in greece last year and it must have been epic it was like honestly one of the best shows i've seen live it's like a spiritual experience and chris martin says on stage he said how unique is this moment when all of then we were about to go i think on the road again so it was like i needed this he was like how amazing is this moment in the in the world right now that thousands of people can be in one place and disagree on politics spirituality what you would have for dinner and yet you can sit here and sing the same song and be like arm in arm and like happy and i'm like that there's not many things like that anymore yeah you can't go to even film tv music like there's so it's very divisive and obviously what's happening in our world it's there's a lot of heartbreaking things but the fact that we could go to a place where we're putting all that aside and we all have core memories of a song that like could be that person's breakup song it could be that person's like wedding song you know and we could be in the same room or same arena sharing i'm like how lucky are we and i think that's what they deserve so i'm like i could do that for them and if i have to cry through this song so be it that's what just to to add to that um some of the folks from the show i was just doing came to see uh an experience that we did last week in new york um basically we we were rehearsing uh music rehearsal all week for the tour and we just decided to open it up to do like a live rehearsal experience for our fans and it was a few folks who wouldn't i think categorize themselves as fans.
4:49Maybe they know a couple of songs. But I said, just come and just see what the environment is like, because it is kind of magical. Like Jonas fans are so loving, and it's such a joyous experience that I'm not naive. Like, I know that there are people that I've invited to shows who don't know a single song or would even, like, say it just never hit them in culture or whatever but when they come they experience kind of similar what he's talking about that euphoric feeling and it's why i love that i get to do this as my my job creating in the studio is is is like my safe place it's my favorite thing in the world um but getting on stage and feeling that feeling is like pinch me this is wow this is real life it's amazing

"Authenticity wins. Like always. It's totally okay to be like, yeah, this is tough and this is a challenge, but like, I'm here." - Joe Jonas
The Jonas Brothers pull back the curtain on what happens when life gets so overwhelming that even walking on stage feels impossible. They've navigated brutal seasons where negative headlines and public scrutiny became suffocating, where the pressure to smile and perform while falling apart inside nearly broke them. But somewhere in those darkest moments, they discovered a backstage mantra that shifted everything: "What do you want them to feel?" This simple question became their north star, transforming how they approach not just performing, but living authentically in a world that demands perfection.
What emerges from their conversation is something profound about the healing power of shared human experience. The brothers describe the almost spiritual moment of watching thousands of people who disagree on everything - politics, spirituality, what to have for dinner - come together in one room and sing the same songs arm in arm. They learned that their job isn't to convince anyone they have it all figured out; it's to create space where people remember they're not alone in their struggles. Their hard-won wisdom about blocking out noise, choosing vulnerability over perfection, and finding your center when everything feels chaotic will completely shift how you handle your own overwhelming moments.
