Can your darkest moment reveal your greatest purpose? Jazz Singh’s remarkable journey suggests it can. From a childhood marked by trauma and violence to a successful career in banking, Jazz’s trajectory took a sharp turn: a workplace tribunal, homelessness, a tragic accident and eventually imprisonment. It was behind bars that Jazz found meaning through service to others with a deeper calling to fight for justice. Today, Jazz is a passionate advocate for second chances supporting ex-offenders in rebuilding their lives through meaningful work and challenging society to stop defining people by their worst mistake. His work spans the social and criminal justice spaces, where he champions inclusion, systemic change and the power of global voices to solve local issues. In this episode, we dive into:

· How trauma and incarceration shaped Jazz’s purpose

· The importance of dignity, work, and second chances

· Why society must look beyond stigma to see potential

· What it means to be a changemaker driving justice from the inside out

Jazz’s story is a moving reminder that purpose, hope and leadership can rise from the unlikeliest places. He invites us all to search deeper for the talent, the value and the truth often overlooked. This is a conversation about resilience, justice and the hidden potential waiting to be seen. This is about finding the Rubies in the Rubble.

KEY TAKEAWAY

‘A prison sentence should come with a full stop but what tends to happen is you come out with a comma.’
