· Spotify, Netflix, and Jay Shetty today announced a new partnership to expand On Purpose into video across both services, bringing one of the world's most popular podcasts to audiences in a more immersive format.
· One of the most popular podcasts in the world, On Purpose features in-depth conversations with influential voices across culture, wellness, and personal growth. As part of the partnership, On Purpose video episodes will be available across both services.

We're entering a new era where interviews can impact culture as powerfully as movies, music, and television on the global stage. It is truly a dream come true to be partnering with Netflix & Spotify at the same time. I would never have believed when I started the podcast just 7 years ago this would happen. To be in business with two of the most influential forces in global entertainment is unprecedented and I couldn't be more energized for what's ahead."
· "On Purpose has built one of the most engaged podcast audiences in the world, and we're excited to expand our partnership with Netflix and Jay by bringing video episodes to Spotify," said Roman Wasenmüller, VP, Global Head of Podcasts, Spotify. "Spotify is already where millions of fans come to listen to the show, and this next chapter builds on that momentum by giving audiences an even more immersive way to experience it. This partnership also reflects our continued investment in video and our commitment to helping creators grow global franchises on Spotify."
· "Jay Shetty has an extraordinary ability to spark deep, meaningful connections that resonate with millions around the world," said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. "By joining forces with Spotify, we're giving On Purpose an expansive new canvas, bringing these visually captivating interviews to our members' screens with unmissable episodes to look forward to every single week."
