Indian-Born, Global Impact: Jas Mathur's Evolution from Transformational Health Entrepreneur to Hollywood Dealmaker and Actor
Some stories make you pause and wonder: How have we never heard of this person before? Jas Mathur's is one of them. Born in New Delhi, India, and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Jas Mathur is a global force in the making. While he's still emerging as a name in India, his journey already reads like a masterclass in ambition, vision, and transformation. A popular global serial entrepreneur and a tech prodigy, Mathur made his first USD $1 Million by the age of 16, a milestone that could have easily been the climax of most success stories. But for him, it was only the beginning. Jas Mathur is a dynamic Serial Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Wellness Mentor, Film Producer, Actor, and Global Brand Builder, a modern-day Polymath reshaping industries from Wellness to Hollywood. Jas Mathur's journey isn't about fitting in; it's about breaking barriers. His body transformation was a testament to Willpower and Mental Strength, and he's applied that same relentless mindset to Business. From Pro Wrestling Media and Internet Advertising to Online Dating, Surveillance Tech, and Supplements, Jas was an early innovator across Digital Industries. Today, he's the Founder of Limitless X, a publicly traded company based in Los Angeles, and a trusted partner to top Celebrities, Athletes, and Global Brands. Reinvention is not just part of Jas Mathur's story; it defines it. After transforming his Body, Mindset, and Business, he is now stepping into the global spotlight, this time in front of the Camera. Jas stars alongside John Travolta in the upcoming Cash Out 3: The Gentleman Thief, after serving as Executive Producer on the previous installment, High Rollers. Despite having no formal background in Film, his leap into Hollywood is a natural extension of his belief in Fearless Evolution and Limitless Growth. His first foray into Film came in late 2024, when he produced The Man You Don't Know, a bold and timely Documentary about Donald Trump. That debut behind the scenes set the tone for a new chapter, one where Jas brings his Entrepreneurial Drive, Creative Vision, and Transformative Mindset to the world of Film and Entertainment. For Jas, Transformation Is Not a Phase. It Is a Way of Life. Talking about the same, Jas Mathur said, 'I started building Websites at age 11 and was making tens of thousands a month by 14,' Jas shares. 'I dropped out after 10th grade to pursue business full time. But even with all that success, I felt empty. By my early 20s, I weighed over 450 lbs. That was my wake-up call. I took control, lost over 36' off my waist, and went from 6X to L, then realized I did not just want to make money. I wanted to BUILD A LIFE I DON'T NEED A VACATION FROM' That transformation led him to venture into the Health and Dietary Supplements Industry, where Passion, Purpose, and Impact became his new bottom line. 'Everything starts with Vision,' he says. 'But Vision without Skill is just a dream. You need Patience, Consistency, and the Will to grow into the person your Vision demands, and that is how you unlock your Destiny and become LIMITLESS' He's Built Brands, Transformed Lives, and Created Lasting Impact; and He's Only Just Getting Started.

Meet the Glaswegian stars of I Kissed A Boy season two
This is the first thing that hospital pharmacist Jack D says as he recounts his time on the hit BBC dating show, I Kissed A Boy. Image of Jack, supplied. Speaking to the Glasgow Times, Jack described the experience as surreal, before adding: 'I'll never get to do something like that ever again. I've made lifelong friends.' And one of those friends is fellow Glaswegian and finance analyst, Jas. Image of Jas, supplied. The two Glasgow-born boys entered the Italy cottage, known as the Masseria, with eight other men for a summer of love. Matched on what they are looking for in a partner, each contestant must skip the chat and niceties when they meet on the Masseria grounds for the first time and go straight in for a kiss before entering the Masseria with their partner to explore their relationship and possible connections with the other men. READ NEXT: Two Glaswegians star in hit BBC reality show I Kissed A Boy Hosted by pop icon Dannii Minogue and narrated by Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams, this season of the show — which aired on May 11 — threw Jack and Jas into some wild experiences and left them with plenty of incredible memories, including meeting Dannii Minogue, of course. Jas, 27, said: 'This experience is something that I will never forget in my entire life. 'It was the most beautiful celebration of what it means to be queer. To have my name attached to that is such a pinch-me moment. I genuinely would do it a million times over.' (Image: Images provided) 'When I first saw Dannii across the pool on that first day, I went non-verbal,' Jack said. He continued: 'I have loved her music since I was younger and loved watching her on The X Factor. They say never meet your heroes, but I've met mine and it was everything I thought it would be in the best way.' Speaking on Dannii's unwavering support for the queer community, Jack added: 'She's such an ally. Behind the scenes, she really does care about all of us and wants us to do well. She's not just there to do a job, she loves the show. She's been so outspoken – especially about trans inclusivity, I'm just in awe of her.' Jas agreed, saying: 'She cares about the community, and she champions it. She is a textbook ally, through and through.' (Image: Images provided) The show – which is the UK's first dating show exclusively for gay men – is not just about kissing and meeting your pop heroes though. From Lars being the show's first transgender contestant and Adam revealing his journey with HIV to Jas talking about what it means to be queer and Punjabi, the show is all about breaking down barriers and opening space for important conversations. Through this, so many viewers have seen themselves represented on TV for the first time ever. Jas said: 'The number of messages I've had from Punjabi, queer and even Scottish people who have seen themselves represented in this show because of me is so special and beautiful. 'I want to be the best role model that I possibly can be. I will not let this platform go to waste. I want to make an impact and help the community by spreading as much love and positivity as I possibly can. So that way, when I'm old and wrinkly in about a year's time, I can look back and be like, I did that.' (Image: Images provided) Jack, 26, added: 'I don't ever remember watching a queer dating show that had a trans person in it. I remember when Lars told me and I thought, 'He's literally going to change the world'." READ NEXT: 'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat When they aren't on national TV kissing boys, one of Jack's favourite places to go is Café Buena Vida in the Southside of Glasgow, where he is a resident DJ and Jas loves Loch Lomond. He explained: 'It's my favourite place in the world. When I learned how to drive that was like my thing. I would drive there with a speaker and listen to music. Then I started to make friends, and we'd go and make a whole evening of it. It became my outlet and source of freedom. 'I love that you can literally be in Glasgow city centre and within an hour you can be surrounded by so much nature and peace. I am so proud to be Scottish. I'm so proud to be from Glasgow. It's one of the most incredible places full of people that are so friendly and there's a real sense of community just by being Glaswegian.' (Image: Images provided) Catch up with the full series of I Kissed a Boy on BBC iPlayer. The reunion is set to air on Saturday, June 15 at 9pm on BBC Three.

Thousands of men are spitting on women runners — it's happened to me
One in ten women say they have been spat on while running. In this exclusive investigation, Metro exposes a shocking and underreported form of street harassment that is forcing women to change the way they exercise. The spit hit my leg before I even realised what had happened. It was a March evening in Shepherds Bush outside a Co-op just as I was slowing down after my Garmin watch beeped, signalling the end of my 5km run. As the glob of thick, warm liquid seeped through my leggings, a man shouted obscenities at me, saliva still glistening on his lips. 'Did I really just get spat on?' I thought, frozen. Nobody did anything. In shock and fear, I shakily walked home – to my relief, he didn't follow me. Once through the safety of my front door, I called my mum and cried before stripping off, washing all my clothes and standing under a steaming hot shower for half an hour, still trying to process what had happened. Less than two weeks later, it happened again. A different man, but on the same path. He stepped into my way, looked me dead in the eye and spat right at me. This time, thankfully, he missed. Ironically, both incidents happened on a street lined with intermittent signage, campaigning for an end to sexual harassment against women. I no longer run down that busy main road in the evening, unjustly forced to change my behaviour. After sharing what had happened in a small Facebook group for women in media, 80 women replied in less than 24 hours to say it had happened to them too. That response prompted an investigation by Metro and Women's Running to uncover just how common this is. Scotland Yard doesn't keep specific data on spitting incidents, but a Women's Running Instagram poll of 1,000 women found 10% had been spat on while running – most were certain it was intentional. The sample is small considering six million women run in the UK, but scaled up, there could be as many as 360,000 female runners who have been spat at like this. It sounds like an extraordinary number, but with more than one million violent crimes against women in a single year, it is entirely feasible. One in five women told Sport England's This Girl Can campaign that they are concerned about harassment while exercising outdoors. Jas, a 25-year-old from London, has been a victim of spitting twice. The first time was during the pandemic near her university in Lincoln. A man gave her a look that made her uneasy. Then he spat at her, continuing to stare at her in an intimidating way. 'It was terrifying,' she told Metro. 'Not because of the stupid old man, but because it was during the pandemic when you didn't even want someone breathing near you, let alone spitting. I cried and cried, mainly out of fear of getting Covid, but also because I was livid.' Being mixed race, Jas wondered if the attack was racially motivated, but she couldn't be sure. 'It really surprised me,' she remembers. 'It's not like I was going to stop and ask which part of my identity motivated him to spit at me.' The next time was on a morning run through central London when two men, who looked worse for wear after pulling an all-nighter, walked towards her. 'I felt slightly apprehensive as I got closer to them,' she said. 'I began deciding how best to avoid them, but convinced myself that I was overthinking it and didn't cross the road. I should have, because one of them spat in my direction and the other shouted 'watch out sweetheart'. 'They both laughed and watched me run all the way up the street. This time there were no tears – I told them to piss off and ran away as fast as I could.' Jas says she has become accustomed to this behaviour now, a sentiment felt by many of the women I spoke to – including a woman spat at by a 13-year-old boy. He did it 'for a reaction'. None of them saw it coming. The problem isn't unique to the UK. Marie, 52, lives in the Queens area of New York and goes running a couple of times a week. She was first spat at six years ago when she saw a man heading in her direction as she ran across a bridge. 'I wasn't nervous or concerned about him, but as I passed him, he spat at the ground right next to my foot. 'It really shocked me because it was so passive aggressive, and I was disgusted because no one wants a stranger's spit on them.' Two years later, it happened again. 'This guy was in his 40s or 50s and he was glaring at me as I ran towards him,' Marie says. 'Then he just spat directly in my path.' He made a threatening, sexually suggestive comment under his breath as she ran past. 'He just seemed so aggressive, and it made me so angry,' she added. When we contacted the National Police Chiefs' Council with our findings, a spokesperson highlighted The JogOn Initiative — a campaign to prevent harassment and abuse against female runners. It involves plain-clothed officers running along popular routes looking out for predatory behaviour and harassment. However, only a handful of police forces run the initiative, mainly around Yorkshire, but not Scotland Yard. The NPCC spokesperson said: 'We would encourage anyone who feels unsafe in any public place in the UK to report it to police via StreetSafe so we can take action.' Fiona Vera-Grey, a violence against women and girls activist working at the London Metropolitan University, says she is not surprised by our findings as she knows people who have been victims of spitting. She believes perpetrators do it because it is 'demeaning, degrading and dehumanising'. 'Men probably do it because it's not going to be seen as a serious form of harm and likely won't be reported,' she said. She believes that if we lived in a society where violence against women and girls wasn't so prevalent, being spat at might not affect us so deeply. However, because it is connected to all other intrusions on women's safety, it feels even more upsetting. More Trending So, what can we do? Fiona wants women to unite to create consciousness, share their stories and become campaigners for women's safety. One thing is for sure: Once again, the onus for ending violence against women is falling into the hands of women. Andrea Simon, director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: 'Targeting women by spitting on them is a hostile, misogynistic act that is traumatising in its own right, but can also be part of a pattern that can lead to more violence. 'Women have the right to exist in public places safely, whether that's exercising or socialising… violence against women and girls is not inevitable.' Have you ever been spat at/on while running? No, I've not experienced that I'm not sure if it was intentional Do you have a story to share?
