This week, Jason is joined by content creator and TikTok YouTube star, most commonly known as the apartment guy, Caleb Simpson
Caleb and his content creation hit the jackpot with this man on the street style videos in which he takes his viewers along on tours of the often intriguing and impressive homes of his new friends with a combined 12.3 million followers across his social media channels. Caleb has created what some compare to the modern day, off the cuff MTV Cribs, having collaborated with celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Barbara Corcoran, Jared Leto, Drew Barrymore, Jada Smith, and more.
Caleb dives into his history of rent in New York, his financial perspective on the current state of renting, how he was able to get in front of celebrities who have come on his show, the business behind getting the celebrities on the show with the idea of mutually building more of a following, filming on a single phone, how he differentiates from other creators, and how he is able to monetize. Caleb also reveals how he is aware that the money is not reliable, why he charges a lot for brand sponsorships, how he got involved with NFT Now, the hard moment of calling family to help pay for rent, reaching out to creators to start generating ideas and then executing it, wanting to be able to retire at 42, and what a day in the life looks like. Who was the first celebrity to DM him to view their apartment? What is his 10 year plan?

Howie also gives insight to why he would negotiate IP over more money which evolved into creating his own company, the need to adopt and adapt, how he wishes he said yes to more movies, developing coping skills, and podcasting with his daughter.

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation’s newly engaged couple and fan favorites Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson!

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.

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.

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?

$360k in one month?! Netflix reality star Francesca Farago dives into the SHOCKING numbers behind her career before and after reality TV, influencing, launching her swimwear line, and $ecrets Too Hot To Handle! Mar 25, 2024

This week, Jason is joined by Netflix reality TV star turned successful influencer, entrepreneur and business owner, Francesca Farago!
Francesca gained notoriety after being tagged as one of the top personalities of Netflix’s inaugural season of Too Hot to Handle in 2020. She then continued her run in Netflix reality TV with stints on Love is Blind, After the Altar, and Perfect Match. After her time on TV, Francesca pivoted her career to a business owner after launching her own line of sustainable and environmentally friendly swimwear called Farago the Label. The brand offers swimsuits and bikinis that are not only cruelty free, but also 100 recyclable and biodegradable.
Francesca gives insight to Too Hot to Handle, how the show being pushed and released during COVID was extremely beneficial, what life was like prior to reality TV working in bottle service and influencing, why she uses her mom’s last name instead of her legal last name, what she would be doing if she wasn’t in reality TV, how a boring environment pushed to her create great TV by creating drama, doing career jujitsu after a bad edit on Perfect Match, how defusing comments instead of getting defensive works in her favor, and her relationships (or lack thereof) with her former castmates. Francesca also reveals when she started her swimwear company, who is involved in her company, the importance of being inclusive for every body type, what she considers when negotiating rates for reality shows, how she and Jesse handle money as a couple, her IVF journey, and what she has learned during the renovation of her home. Why has Francesca lied about her age before? Which celebrity reached out to her that was a “pinch me” moment? Does she have investors in Farago the Label? What reality shows is she interested in joining down the line? Would she ever be open to having her own reality show?
Francesca reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

In addition to her time on reality TV, Trishelle has also added the titles of model, real estate investor and professional poker player to her career.

Trishelle and Peter also reveal why Phaedra was such a powerful player, what makes a great leader, how the two of them connected in the castle, their different styles within the game, how the decision was made to split the prize pool, what suggestions they have to elevate the game to a new level, and what future shows they would love to be on. Did they ever expect to go back into reality TV? Who do they think would be great for The Traitors? What do they wish would have aired that didn’t?

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.

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?
