This conversation with Bigg Jah is about what it really takes to build something on your own terms.
In this interview, Bigg Jah walks through his journey from film school and stand-up comedy to becoming an independent creator who refused to wait on traditional Hollywood to validate his voice. He opens up about the years it took to find his footing, the importance of building a real team, and why ownership became non-negotiable as platforms, algorithms, and opportunities continued to shift.
We also talk about his latest project, L.A.U.G.H. (Life Ain’t Usually Great Here), now streaming on Tubi. The series turns everyday moments from hood life into stories that balance humor, honesty, and lived experience—without watering anything down for mainstream approval.
Beyond the projects, this interview digs into the mindset behind longevity: staying consistent when progress feels slow, creating without permission, and prioritizing community over popularity. Bigg Jah doesn’t just talk about success—he breaks down the work, the missteps, and the decisions that made sustainability possible.
If you’re building something independently—or thinking about betting on yourself—this conversation offers real insight into what that path actually looks like.
