• 253: Bobby Bones: $12k in billboards with millions in return?! Breaking down the pendulum of the audience, lessons learned in his upbringing, relationship with money, and proving your value

  This week, Jason is joined by radio personality, author, TV host, and all around trailblazer, Bobby Bones! Bobby rose to national fame with the Bobby Bones Show, a nationally syndicated radio show that redefined country radio and became a staple for millions of listeners across the US. He’s a two time New York Times bestselling author, a Dancing With the Stars Champion, and beloved mentor on American Idol. But Bobby’s story isn’t just about success, it’s about grit, resilience, and staying true to your roots while chasing something bigger.  Bobby opens up about how his upbringing shaped his perspective and became a strength in his career, the resilience that helps him cut through the noise, and why he decided to build his own syndication company with his own money. He shares the story behind the infamous “Go Away Bobby Bones” billboards, the “illegal” training he did to sharpen his moves for Dancing With the Stars, and what proving value really means to him. Bobby also breaks down the benefits of long-form content over TV for career longevity, why he was scared of debt even after making his first million at 30, and the key differences between radio and podcasting. From the importance of owning your IP, to why he considers Taylor Swift a genius, to the artists and interviews that stand out most in his career—Bobby doesn’t hold back. Plus, he reveals who makes it onto his personal Mount Rushmore and gives a rare glimpse into his personal life. Bobby reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

• 251. Rachel Recchia: Bachelor Nation fan favorite breaks down the realities of reality TV between networks, saying yes to Perfect Match, continuing her passion for aviation and the $$$ behind it all!

  This week, Jason is joined by reality TV star and commercial pilot, Rachel Recchia! Rachel first captured America’s attention on The Bachelor before becoming one of the co-leads of The Bachelorette Season 19, where she navigated love, heartbreak, and the spotlight in front of millions of viewers. She later returned to Bachelor in Paradise, further cementing her place as a fan favorite in Bachelor Nation, but Rachel’s story goes far beyond reality TV. She is a licensed pilot, a career she’s pursued well before the cameras. Rachel pulls back the curtain on her journey through two very different corners of reality TV—The Bachelor franchise and Netflix’s Perfect Match—and explains what ultimately led her to say yes to Perfect Match. She dives into her true passion outside of television: aviation. From working as a flight instructor to breaking down the costly path of pilot training, Rachel shares her long-term goals in the cockpit, the different licenses she’s earned, and how quickly she returned to work after her season of The Bachelorette. She opens up about how the men from her season impacted her mental health, the challenge of balancing a career in aviation with the world of social media, and why she doesn’t see herself as an “influencer.” Rachel also compares reality TV audiences, reveals why she’ll never return to The Bachelor franchise, and gets candid about dating after reality TV. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire money segment that offers an honest look at life beyond the spotlight. Rachel reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

• 250. Chicklet and Maleni: From dishwashing for $300/week to millions of followers making videos, BTS of what lead them to social media,

  This week, Jason is joined by content creator couple who turned into social media stars, Chicklet and Maleni! After meeting at a friend’s party over ten years ago, Chicklet and Maleni had instant chemistry and it was their sense of humor that eventually brought them together, not only as a couple, but an internet comedy duo. Achieving a level of fame and recognition was not necessarily an objective for the budding comedians who stood out with their short videos, however, with over 7 million combined followers across their social media accounts, their love for each other and comedy turned into a story that people wanted to follow.  Maleni and Chicklet open up about the professional paths they once imagined for themselves and how those plans shifted as content creation took center stage. Chicklet shares how he got his start while working at Parks and Rec before taking the leap into full-time content, while Maleni reflects on her early career with a dance company. They break down the moment they realized real money could be made on social media, which videos first went viral, and their experience with Streaming University. The two also dive into the biggest challenges of working together, their journey with sobriety, and how they’ve built security in their relationship, their finances, and their mutual support system. Chicklet and Maleni reveal all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

She is also killing it in the corporate career as well working at Otis Elevator Co. She is proof that brains and business acumen, and truth to herself can lead to a breakthrough reality TV star. Post-show, Olandria is balancing the corporate grind with modeling, brand partnerships, and living out her personal brand rooted in southern authenticity.  Olandria opens up about the uncertainty of how she’d be perceived by viewers, the misconceptions she wants to clear up, and the most surprising parts of watching the show back. She reflects on growing up as the oldest of six with a single mom, knowing modeling was always a dream, and the journey that led her to Love Island. She shares how she prioritized building a genuine connection, what her personal and professional plans look like moving forward, and why she’s staying open to different career paths. Olandria also gets candid about her relationship with money, the way Nic makes sure she has equal opportunities, and the support she’s found in her friendship with Chelley.
