237. Sam Asghari: From moving to America...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
This week, Jason is joined by  one of Hollywood’s most talked about enigmas, Sam Asghari!
You may know him as the fitness trainer turned actor, or maybe as the former partner of pop icon Britney Spears, but there’s so much more behind the headlines. From humble beginnings to the bright lights of Los Angeles, Sam carved his lane in modeling, acting, and inspiring millions through fitness. But in 2025, he took a wildly unexpected turn by stepping into the ultimate mind game on The Traitors season three. In a Scottish castle surrounded by lies, alliances, and backstabbing drama, Sam got the full reality TV experience with some of the biggest reality TV stars.
Sam joins the show to break down his experience on The Traitors alongside Dylan Efron, including the real story behind their rescue of swimmers in Florida. He shares his journey from Iran to the U.S., his first professional gig, and how he pivoted from playing football to modeling and booking a Super Bowl commercial on his very first audition. Sam opens up about his relationship with Britney Spears, the music video he almost turned down, and sets the record straight on common misconceptions about his career. He reflects on getting fired from his first job, the ambition that’s driven him forward, and the life lessons he learned from his uncle. He also gets candid about navigating contracts like NDAs, prenups, and gag orders, how he approaches relationships with care in the public eye, and what he's discovered about money, happiness, and being intentional with his actions. Plus, he reveals which other reality shows tried to recruit him—and why he said no.
Sam reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
