Trading Secrets

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur and CEO of the global fitness brand Barry’s, Joey Gonzalez! Joey had dedicated over a decade of his life trying to break into the entertainment business in LA, but after realizing he wasn’t achieving the financial stability he desired, he knew he had to make a change. In addition to acting, he was working jobs in real estate and in the restaurant industry before stumbling upon his role as a fitness instructor with Barry’s Bootcamp. From there, Joey organically worked his way up the company, eventually assuming the role of CEO 11 years after taking his first class.  Joey breaks down how failure and adversity have been some of his greatest teachers—and why settling for a traditional nine-to-five often comes at the cost of fulfillment and passion. He shares how his early career in acting seamlessly translated into becoming a world-class fitness instructor, from musicality and performance to programming and staying calm in chaos. Joey dives into the business side of fitness, including how to advocate for yourself, what consumers should look for before committing to a membership, how locations are selected, and the real drivers behind their global success—from private equity and adaptability to embracing local nuance in every market. He also reflects on how COVID reshaped the business, breaks down instructor pay structures, offers insight into his personal nutrition and training, recommends must-have home gym equipment (including how he discovered the Woodway treadmill), and shares his thoughts on pursuing an OPM or MBA—before tying it all together with a focus on the four F’s. Joey reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest breakout stars in Netflix’s reality TV world, Chloe Veitch! Chloe first rose to fame on Too Hot To Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite with her humor, honesty, and a big personality. She went on to compete on The Circle and later on Perfect Match, and most recently hosting Sneaky Links After Dark, building a reputation as one of the most recognizable faces on Netflix reality universe. Beyond television, Chloe has leveraged her fame into a career as a model, influencer, and content creator, connecting with millions of fans across social media. Chloe opens up about her early dream of pursuing a career in London’s West End, how her relationship with money has evolved, and why she used opportunities as a form of escapism growing up. She shares how getting signed to a boutique London agency at 18 — and taking an unpaid modeling job — unexpectedly led to Too Hot to Handle, plus the reality show she almost joined and why she played The Circle more strategically. Chloe breaks down how TV exposure turns into brand deals, the hard lessons she’s learned about valuing income, why being single performs better on reality TV, and the one show she would never do again. She also dives into hosting — landing her first job without an audition but needing to sell the concept to Netflix — getting off ADHD medication, controlling the energy in the room, knowing when to walk away from relationships, launching her Big Sister radio segment with the Unwell Network, the power of loyal followers, standing firm on non-negotiables, and the advice she’d give her younger self. Chloe reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

This week, Jason is joined by Olivia Ferney, better known online as Travel with Livii, one of the fastest growing voices in the travel creator space! Olivia has built a loyal audience by doing something many luxury and event experts don’t do - giving honest realistic breakdowns and unfiltered discussions of what travel actually costs and the many nuances of luxury travel. Olivia shares how the most powerful, wealthiest and famous travelers are traveling with full transparency to the price tags and all the crazy requests. She has been going viral the last six months or so for her transparency and was just covered in full by the New York Times, CMO of Top Tier Travel.  Olivia dives into the behind-the-scenes of her viral videos reenacting outrageous client calls, what truly makes a great client for Top Tier Travel, and what’s included in their Concierge Plus program. She breaks down the types of clients she won’t take on, why she refuses influencer negotiations, and the most common scams people attempt to pull. Olivia also shares how close she becomes with Concierge Plus clients, how she navigates NDAs while still telling compelling stories, and the realities of the Top Tier Travel business model. She discusses where she actually recommends people go skiing, where the most expensive travel really happens, and the most outrageous request she’s received to date. Olivia opens up about her commitment to transparency with clients, her perspective on the private jet industry, her role as a mediator, what she’s learned from working with ultra-wealthy travelers, her goals for the business and earnings heading into 2026, and the practical travel advice she gives everyone—luxury or not.

In this episode of Trading Secrets, we’re joined by Jason Gamel, President & CEO of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), to break down the real business of vacation ownership. With over 25 years of experience spanning hospitality, law, and leadership, Jason oversees the trade group shaping how millions of Americans vacation every year—and he’s here to separate myth from fact. We dive into why the modern timeshare industry looks nothing like it did decades ago, how flexibility and point-based systems have changed the game, and why vacation ownership has quietly become one of the most resilient sectors in U.S. travel, even during economic uncertainty. If you’re planning travel for 2026 (or beyond), this episode is packed with practical, consumer-first insights—including how timeshares actually compare to hotels and short-term rentals when it comes to cost, space, predictability, and long-term value.

This week, Jason is joined by returning guest and one of the most influential leaders in real estate, Ryan Serhant! He is the Founder and CEO of Serhant, now home to more than 1,500 agents with growth that has doubled year over year. He’s built one of the most followed and powerful real estate brands in the world with over 9 million followers across all social media. Most importantly, he is back on Netflix with season two of Owning Manhattan, showing a more competitive, more ambitious and more strategic side as he expands his empire beyond Manhattan in battles in the most cutthroat luxury real estate market in the world. Ryan breaks down the current state of the real estate market and why the way people think about homeownership needs to evolve. He explains which markets remain stronger than ever, how banks are underwriting loans right now, and why it feels like everyone works for the government. Ryan shares his perspective on a potential rent freeze in New York, whether he’d ever consider going into politics, and the surprising parallel between divorce rates and the Fed lowering interest rates. He also unpacks the two largest referral sources in the U.S., why fear is often the only driver of lower prices, and how he approaches building trust in volatile markets. On the creative side, Ryan dives into creating a TV show no one has seen before, valuing the viewer’s time, launching a new genre of reality TV with season two of Owning Manhattan, the movie that inspired part of the show’s opening, and how Netflix checks compare to Bravo. He closes by sharing how he handles public attacks on his character, the four P’s, and why choosing to be an open book has been central to his success. Ryan reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
