Description

Singer-songwriter Jewel shares her incredible life story, from yodeling in bars as a kid to becoming homeless as a teenager and shortly thereafter becoming one of the most sought-after musicians in the world. She tells Guy about the mental exercises and Stoic philosophy she relied on as she climbed out of homelessness; why she declined a $1 million signing bonus; her "business plan" for her career and happiness; the conversation with Bob Dylan that may have saved her career; and why she's still making music but choosing not to publish it.Links from the show:Discovery show about Jewel's family's Alaska homestead Writers who inspired Jewel: Anais Nin, Flannery O'Connor, Anton Chekhov, Charles Bukowski, Immanuel Kant, Plato, Socrates Her debut album, Pieces of You"Who Will Save Your Soul" video"You Were Meant for Me" videoNew 25th-anniversary edition of Spirit, Jewel's sophomore albumInnerworld, Jewel's online platform connecting people to mental health counseling anonymously Photo credits: Dana Trippe, Brendan WalterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
