This week, Jason is joined by Emmy nominated director, producer, screenwriter, and podcast host, Doug Ellin!
Doug is most well known for creating the hit HBO series Entourage in which he held roles as executive producer and director. Between 2004 and 2011, the show amassed 96 episodes while collecting 26 Emmy nominations and six Emmy winners, and eventually adapting his own movie screenplay based around the characters and plot of the show. Since the show’s end in 2011, Doug has continued to feed off the high level of interest and success of the show by creating a podcast called “Victory the Podcast” and his new TV show “Ramble On.”
Doug gives insight to how he went to school law before switching gears to do standup comedy, impact of his parents support, how making one short film launched his career, the shocking amount of projects that lose money, how the short film lead to his first rewriting and directing job with Phat Beach, how Entourage revived his career after a major film flop, and how the money breaks down after landing the show. Doug also reveals how he almost went back to become a lawyer, the stresses of landing a show at Max and hoping it sticks, the money behind the show, why he didn’t want to do the Entourage movie, and how his new show “Ramble On” is different from Entourage. Who funded his first short film? When was the first time he felt like Entourage was a success?

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation’s newly engaged couple and fan favorites Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson!
Joey walked away from his lead role on The Bachelor this past season after asking Kelsey to marry him.

Joey and Kelsey reflect on meeting fans at CMAfest and their impact on their audience, what goes into teaching tennis, where they saw their careers going prior to the show, how Kelsey and Joey ended up on the show, what role Jason played in Joey’s journey, and having important conversations in the fantasy suite. Kelsey and Joey also dive into the decision for Joey to move in with Kelsey in New Orleans, where they see their careers moving post show, discussing the influencer space and navigating other people being worried about their finances, and a few rapid fire questions. How many times has Kelsey been nominated for The Bachelor? Where do they plan on moving after the lease ends? What other reality show would they love to do?

When she is not selling million dollar listings, Alex creates hilarious content with her social media following about her life as a working mom.
Alex gives insight to influencer trips, how rumors played a role in her experience in Dubai, the story behind how the date she brought to Dubai left her, the importance of making a statement to set the record straight on allegations, how it impacted her influencer deals, how she ended up on Selling the OC and joining the Oppenheim Group, and if she thinks being on the show is worth it. Alex also reveals that she is an experience girl when it comes to opportunities, how she challenges herself when filming the reality show to go against her initial instinct, her advice on the real estate market currently, what has changed in the industry with being able to market in the MLS, and the three most important things in the real estate industry.

Kit Keenan: From The Bachelor to her successful entrepreneurial endeavors, the BTS of finding her niche in cooking, embracing the influencer title and stepping out of her famous mom’s shadow Apr 08, 2024

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation alum turned fashion designer, home chef and content creator, Kit Keenan!
Many know Kit from her time on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, but what you may not know is that Kit is no stranger to the spotlight before going on the show, she was raised in New York City by her famous fashion designer mother, Cynthia Rowley. Growing up watching her mother succeed in the fashion industry gave her access and perspective on the fashion industry that many individuals would never have until much later in their careers. Now a few years later in her career, Kit has branded herself as Gen Z’s answer to Martha Stewart by leveraging her knowledge of the fashion industry and adding a twist of her love of cooking. She has been entertaining her nearly 600k followers on Instagram and TikTok with fashion-focused content and hosting a social media cooking series “What’s Kit Cooking”.
Kit gives insight to how she deals with imposter syndrome, how her perspective changed on the word influencer, what her mom thought about her going on The Bachelor, how she feels being labeled as a nepo baby, how to get out of the shadow of someone else, her relationship with money, how she ended up in a campaign with Hailey Bieber’s company, and what she learned from launching her own clothing line. Kit also reveals what she thinks she spends too much money on, how she would define her brand, behind the scenes of influencer collaborations, how she plans from a financial standpoint, how finding her niche helped her grow exponentially, where fashion trends are at today, and what the best deal she has done is. What are her claims to fame in the Bachelor franchise? Would she ever go back on reality TV? What social media platform does she make more on?
Kit reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, real estate agent, podcast host, and reality TV star, Savannah Chrisley!
Over the past 10 years, Savannah and her family gained recognition for their rapid success from their hit reality show, Chrisley Knows Best, with over 200 episodes and several successful spinoffs including Growing Up Chrisley, which featured Savannah and her brother as the stars of the show. Since then, Savannah leveraged her reality TV success with various entrepreneurial endeavors, including starting her own personal beauty brand, hosting her own podcast, and starting her own luxury reality company in Nashville.

Savannah gives insight to how her life could be adapted into a Lifetime movie, starting on reality TV at age 15, how mental health should be prioritized and reform for minors in the entertainment industry, what negotiating looked like with family, the difference in pay between the two shows, how she spent her money in her late teens/early twenties, how the family was able to utilize their leverage with the network due to the value they brought, and how the show was impacted after her parents were found guilty at trial. Savannah also reveals how honesty and transparency allowed her to thrive, how she looks at money at this current moment, how her dad’s former business partner played a critical role in the trial, how complex the case against her parents was, advocating their innocence, the biggest takeaways she has learned from the entire court cases, getting into politics from a people perspective about the broken prison system, and the role her faith plays in her daily life. How did the Chrisley’s end up with a reality show in the first place? Was she making more on the show or social media? Is money a motivator? What was her time on Special Forces like?

However, one of Scott’s most impressive career marks comes from his long standing residency in Las Vegas, 17+ years performing at Luxor, 10 years at MGM before that, and a year at Bally’s.
Scott gives insight to the blessing and curse of naming himself Carrot Top and staying in that lane, how he came up with the name, how he almost turned down the Vegas residency, how the president of the Luxor called him and convinced him to take the gig, how the pay compares between roadshows and residencies, the difference between 2-wall and 4-wall shows, and shares some of his most memorable shows. Scott also reveals a time when he left comedy but was brought back by one of his best friends, what his relationship with money is like, the work behind being famous, how a broken leg and coming back during COVID lead him back to the roots of storytelling, what the best thing he has done for his career is, and his best career advice. What is a Q rating? Who did he give a hard time about not selling merchandise? Which professionals has he been most impressed with? Does he gamble?
