JASON DERULO: BREAKING MY NECK LED TO MY BIGGEST SUCCESS
About this episode
<p>Jason Derulo is a force of nature: a global hitmaker who’s sold over 250 million singles and been writing songs since the age of 8. Beyond his chart-topping career, he’s also a savvy entrepreneur and an inspiring storyteller. I’ll admit, I was a little star-struck sitting down with him, but I was excited to uncover the more human side of the pop icon—and to learn what drives his relentless success.</p><br><p>Jason’s obsession with excellence extends far beyond music—it shapes everything he does, and this unyielding determination has been the cornerstone of his success. Life, however, hasn’t been without its challenges. While preparing for a tour, Jason broke his neck attempting a backflip, but what could have ended his career instead became the spark for his most successful album. We also explored the insecurities of his childhood and how now, as a father, Jason’s perspective has evolved with his son being his greatest source of motivation.</p><br><p>This conversation revealed a deeper side to Jason Derulo—one that shows his success is anything but effortless. It’s built on resilience and the ability to turn challenges into opportunities. With a new single featuring Sia on the horizon, Jason’s unstoppable drive proves there’s no "off button" for his ambition.</p><br><p>And if you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have a wealth of fab guests and even more to come - you won't want to miss out!</p><br><p>You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you'd like to get in touch, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><br><p>--</p><br><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Assistant Producer: Gurlina Heer</p><p>Editor: Dan King</p><p>Video: Jake Ji</p><p>Video: Ryley Kirby</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><br><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
