Why and how did some of the world's most influential artists, innovators, athletes and leaders break big? Talented men and women such as Jason Aldean and Danai Gurira recount their most difficult, dramatic and serendipitous turning points.

Emmy-winning journalist Carlos Watson hosts BREAKING BIG.

He endured a difficult childhood in apartheid South Africa, but Trevor Noah not only overcame those tough times – he channeled them into an internationally renowned comedy career.
