Show notes

This week, Jason is joined by ABC’s newest leading lady, The Bachelorette of Season 21, Jenn Tran!
After charming the nation with her bubbly personality on Joey’s season of the Bachelor, Jenn has made Bachelor franchise history being the first Asian American bachelorette. Prior to joining reality TV, Jenn was in the middle of pursuing a career as a physician assistant, which she had to temporarily put on hold to pursue her opportunity as the bachelorette.
Jenn gives insight to pushing through the noise around her as she navigates being the bachelorette, why she almost turned down The Bachelorette, how she is taking every opportunity thanks to her mom’s sacrifices, how her PA TikTok’s landed her on Joey’s season, how she was able to get the time off for PA school, how she handled the hard conversations around leaving the ER rotation to be the Bachelorette, and the importance of talking about professions while dating. Jenn also reveals that what flags went up while getting know the men, how she feels about the gimmicks on the first night, going with her gut, the importance of being transparent when it comes to debt and finances, what she looks for in her partner’s career, and a rapidfire game of red, beige, and green flags. Which celebrity loves Jenn’s mom? Which former Bachelorette did she reach out to before starting her season? What was the first season of The Bachelor she watched?

This week, Jason is joined by one of Bachelor Nation’s most recent and favorite couples to come out of the franchise, Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko!
After being a contestant on Zach’s season of the Bachelor, Charity was selected to be the lead for the Bachelorette Season 20, where she eventually fell for Dotun and the two became engaged to wrap up her season. Since wrapping up their time on the show, Charity added another notch to her reality TV belt, finishing fourth on Dancing With The Stars season 32 this past fall. Charity and Dotun have both earned their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and eventually worked in the health and wellness fields prior to ever being on reality TV.
Charity gives insight to the mental health aspect of the reality TV space with her knowledge in clinical mental health counseling, how different the emotions look between The Bachelor and Bachelorette, what to look for when seeking therapy and what to avoid, why she wants to get back into working as a therapist, her experience on DWTS, and why she decided not to do the full tour. Dotun breaks down what he does as an integrated medicine consultant, what he thinks people need to know about nutrition, what he has been doing post show careerwise, the struggle with leaving work to go on the show, how being a purpose-driven person has helped him integrate both worlds of professional and personal, finding the balance, and answer a few rapid questions about each other! Who brought up the financial conversation? How has social media and brand deals been? What has wedding planning looked like?

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.
