Jerremy: I Lost $39 Million, but it's ok

In this episode of Unexpected Happiness, Ariel talks with Jerremy Newsome, whose life has been shaped by entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and a willingness to learn from even his biggest mistakes.

Jerremy shares how a bad investment wiped out not only his own money, but the life savings of his father and three of his father's closest friends. Convinced he had destroyed their trust forever, he braced for anger, disappointment, and rejection.

Instead, his father responded with something Jerremy never expected.

That moment became the beginning of a journey that would reshape how he thought about failure, responsibility, success, and what it means to believe in yourself.

Throughout the conversation, Jerremy reflects on the questions that changed his life, the difference between working harder and thinking differently, and why many of us are chasing goals we never stopped to examine.
