Trading Secrets

This week, Jason is joined by returning guest, content creator, entrepreneur, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, TIME100 Creators honoree, 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie, and founder of FanGirl, Remi Bader, live from Advertising Week in New York City!

After being fired from her $60,000-a-year job in 2020, Remi turned her honest, unfiltered fashion content into a multimillion-dollar career, earning over $1 million in 2021 and more than $3 million in 2022. Now, she's pulling back the curtain on the business of influencing, what brands get wrong about creator partnerships, and how she's built a lasting career by staying true to herself.

Remi opens up about turning criticism into opportunity, why she's turned down lucrative brand deals, and how companies like Free People, Walmart, and Victoria's Secret have embraced her unique approach to content. She reveals the behind-the-scenes work she did with Victoria's Secret PINK to improve sizing and better understand consumers, why major corporations are turning to influencers for marketing advice, and what every creator should consider when negotiating contracts.

Plus, Remi breaks down the changing creator economy, from Snapchat's earning potential to her experience launching a YouTube channel, where 60% of her early traffic came from Instagram. She also shares how returning to her original content helped her gain another 100,000 Instagram followers in just a few months, why authenticity is more valuable than chasing trends, and the biggest lessons she's learned about building a business while navigating public criticism.

Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

his week, Jason is joined by Million Dollar Nannies stars and real-life couple Mitchell Bienvenue and Taylor Hayward! After six years together, living in their parents' basement, and building careers in the nanny industry, the couple took their talents to Ibiza to work for some of the world's wealthiest families on Hulu's hit reality series. But how much money can you actually make as a nanny? What does it cost to film a reality TV show? And what really happens behind closed doors in the homes of the ultra-wealthy?

Mitchell and Taylor reveal the surprising financial realities of the nanny industry, where experienced nannies can earn six figures, and break down how they got paid for both filming and working for high-profile families. They share why each cast member had to pay $3,000 per month to live in their Ibiza villa, how some castmates actually lost money filming the show, and why reality TV fame doesn't always translate to financial success. Plus, Mitchell opens up about his previous career working on superyachts, where captains can make $200K and engineers can earn up to $300K!

The couple also gets personal about their relationship, revealing the truth behind their on-screen engagement, the financial reasons Mitchell waited to propose, and the drama that almost tore them apart. They discuss growing up with completely different relationships with money, why they chose to live with family to build their savings, and how they turned down a potential $150K+ nanny opportunity in Los Angeles. Plus, they reveal why Mitchell covers 70% of their shared expenses, how they're planning to combine finances after marriage, and what they've learned about happiness from working for some of the wealthiest families in the world.
