Jewel Turned Down $1 Million Record Deal When She Was Homeless

Jewel dropping jewels.

Great Statement; "Your life will rise to the level you settle for..." So much to think about inside those words, thank you Jewel....

Not only did she help herself, she helped the coffee shop owner keep her doors open 👏💜

“Can you stay open for two months and maybe we can try to make it together?”. Two women helping and uplifting each other creates magic. What a miraculous story. I love you Jewel. ❤️

The wisdom from this woman is out of this world. One of JRE’s best podcasts ever

Rogan: "Did you have a manager?" Jewel: "No, but I found this book at the library." What a breath of fresh air to run across this episode. Didn't know they made people like her anymore.

I'm a metal head. Yet I own Jewels first album. She has an amazing voice and her lyrics always touched my own darkness. Im so glad this popped up for me to view. I now know a little more of her, and where all that emotion comes from. So so glad she had the fortitude to keep going and share her music and story with the world.

Love this lady so much. I was assigned as her body-man and driver when she spent a day in our city before her show and got to talk to her and she makes you want to watch over her and protect her. Later, in my Army years, I always took her with me in my heart.

I was in San Diego in the 90’s when Jewel was up and coming and never knew any of her back story other than she was living in her car. What an inspiring/moving story. She’s the real deal.. really enjoyed this!

she genuinely sings because it makes her happy, this is a true artist !

Wow she was so astute in her decision-making. She educated herself and set priorities for how she wanted her life to look. Im pretty blown away; well done❤️

She's so business savvy, she understands the business of music and she's able to leverage her knowledge of the business to maintain her artistic integrity. It's incredible most artists strive for this and never attain it and yet she did. Exceptional and inspirational woman.

The thing that I find amazing about her the most is that shes a multimillionaire yet shes maintained a sincere realness. Shes never lost the fact that shes still just a regular human despite the fame and money. A true beautiful soul.

My favorite JRE podcast to date. I had no idea how incredible her story is. The skills she used as a teenager to cope with her trauma, pain, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal ideation were incredibly insightful for her age. These are behavior therapies now called CBT and DBT. For anyone struggling, you can learn skills and not be reliant on pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life.

As a San Diego native, I remember these days when she was coming up. When she got discovered and had success, it was so awesome for those of us who got to see that part of the journey. Such an amazing and authentic person.

I just saw her in concert (touring with Train) and i was shocked at how amazing a performer and entertainer she was. She blew all our minds. She was fantastic. Huge respect..

I lived on Grand Ave in Pacific Beach, directly across the street from the coffee house she played at. They always left the door open and my roommates and I always noticed when she was playing because it was much better than anything else we heard coming from the door. Then one day she got huge overnight and we realized it was her, she def deserved it, and we kind of knew she would get discovered.

Jewel "They offered me 1 million and I turned it down" Joe "They offered me 100 million and I took it."

My senior citizen heart is bursting for her. Yes, she’s talented. Yes she’s excruciatingly gorgeous. But if you listen carefully to the details of this story, she is also very bright.

This episode brought tears to my soul. This is the reason why Joe Rogan is the man for information these days. Not once you heard MSM through this last two years talk about mental health and this episode does that and helps you with tools to navigate all sorts of mental struggles one may face in life. This is the reason why I will never go back to MSM again in my life. Listening to her is the health option and information people need today and not even ONCE was promoted from any MSM with the level of care , purity and genuine emotions and debate. Thanks Joe Rogan for this one and thank you jewel you really are the now not so hidden jewel amongst the crap I see in this planet.
