I knew I wanted to make a folk album at the height of grunge,
and I knew that the odds of that succeeding were really slim,
and it failed spectacularly for several years,
to the point where I started to go in and make a second album and give up on the first,
but luckily Bob Dylan wanted to tour with me and he mentored me on tour and just told me to keep going and gave me the courage to keep going,
and eventually that album went on to be the best-selling album of all time.
Hi, I'm Bob Pippman, and welcome to Math & Magic.
On this episode, we're going to explore creativity, through music,
art, poetry, philanthropy, activism, and sometimes just for the soul.
Our guest does all of that, and has lived her life, not the life others want her to live.
She's one of those few one-name people, Jewel.
Jewel was born in Utah, grew up in Alaska, performed as a kid,
learned to yodel at an early age, spent some time in Hawaii and down in San Diego.
She had a huge early success as a singer-songwriter, but did not follow the usual trajectory of stardom.
She built her own philosophy for her life and has expressed it through all she has created.
Probably most important, she has an impressive life of service to others,
yes to her son and family, but also to those most in need.
In other words, she's an impressive human, in all ways, and a super nice person.
Welcome, Jewel.
