284. Thirty Minute Thursday with Jason & The Curious Canadian!

In this fast-paced 30-minute episode of Trading Secrets, Jason Tartick is joined by David Arduin to unpack everything happening behind the scenes. They revisit the latest “Jason Tells All” episode, dive into ongoing Bachelor Nation drama, and share updates on Jason’s new house and evolving chapter of life.Beyond the headlines, Jason opens up on more vulnerable topics that didn’t make it into the Tell All—offering a deeper, more personal look at the challenges, growth, and realities he’s navigating. With candid conversations, honest reflections, and quick-hitting insights, this episode gives listeners an unfiltered perspective on both the public story and what’s happening beneath the surface.

This week, Jason is joined by a very familiar guest — himself — as David Arduin returns to the host chair for the annual JTA recap episode!In this raw and reflective conversation, Jason opens up about what 2025 really looked like behind the scenes — from the emotional chaos he was sitting in during last year’s recap, to the clarity, peace, and confidence he feels now. He looks back on the predictions he got completely wrong, including being convinced he’d be out of Nashville, and explains how life ended up taking a very different turn in the best possible way.Jason shares what changed most in his personal life, why he’s finally stopped overexplaining himself, and how this season feels different from anything he’s experienced before. He talks about finding real alignment, what he now values more than career growth or social media milestones, and why 2026 feels less like survival mode and more like building the life he actually wants.On the business side, Jason breaks down the biggest year yet for both Trading Secrets and Rewired Talent Agency. He shares how the podcast continues to grow beyond Bachelor Nation, why the agency had a record-setting year, and how his own brand generated millions through major partnerships, speaking, and strategic niche positioning. He also gives a brutally honest look at the creator economy, what makes talent marketable, and why follower count means a lot less than most people think.Jason also reveals the details behind buying his first home in Nashville, how he negotiated the deal, why this moment means so much at 37 years old, and what it represents in the bigger picture of where his life is heading. From relationships and self-worth to business growth, money, and long-term vision, this episode is one of the most honest JTA recaps yet.Jason reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Wayfair Find furniture, decor, and essentials that fit your unique style and budget.

This week, Jason is joined by Olympian, gold medalist, and PWHL star Hayley Scamurra!A key member of Team USA’s women’s hockey team, Hayley opens up about what it took to reach the top of her sport — from years of elite training and representing her country on the biggest stage in the world, to finally bringing home Olympic gold. Growing up in Buffalo with NHL roots, Hayley shares how her dream of becoming an Olympian started early, and how that vision carried her through the grind of college hockey, professional uncertainty, and years of fighting for a real future in women’s hockey.Hayley breaks down the emotional difference between winning silver and winning gold, what it was really like inside the Olympic Village, and the mindset she used to stay calm in the biggest game of her life against Canada. She also shares the business side of women’s hockey — from playing professionally for almost no money, to helping pave the way for the PWHL, navigating trades, free agency, and the continued fight for fair pay and better opportunities for women in sports.She also talks about the support system behind her success, the role mental training played in changing her career, and why she believes athletes should never settle for the bare minimum when they know they deserve more. From gold medal moments to the future of women’s hockey, Hayley gives an honest look at both the dream and the grind behind it.Hayley reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Momentous Head to livemomentous.com, and use promo code TRADINGSECRETS for up to 35% off your first order.Livemomentous.com promo code TRADINGSECRETSNorthwest Registered Agent Don’t pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for what you can get from Northwest for free.

This week, Jason is joined by Amanda Batula, one of the most recognizable and enduring personalities from Bravo’s Summer House!After more than a decade on reality television, Amanda opens up about navigating one of the most public transitions of her life — separating from her longtime partner and redefining who she is both on and off camera. Known for her authenticity and relatability, Amanda shares what it’s like to grow up in the public eye, protect your peace while millions are watching, and learn how to choose yourself without losing compassion for the people who were part of your journey.Amanda breaks down the realities of filming Summer House and the upcoming spinoff In the City, how she’s handled rumors, internet speculation, and the pressure of sharing personal struggles on television. She also reflects on the lessons she’s learned about relationships, financial independence, and why she believes protecting yourself — whether through prenups, boundaries, or simply trusting your instincts — is more important than ever.She also opens up about the mental health journey that changed her life, the confidence she’s found in her thirties, and the creative future she’s building through fashion, design, and new opportunities outside reality TV. From career reinvention to embracing change, Amanda shares the mindset that helped her move forward and prioritize happiness.Amanda reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Function Health Learn more and join Function using my link.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the most influential voices in American economics — Austan Goolsbee, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago!In a rare and time-sensitive episode, Jason goes straight to the source on what’s happening in the economy right now — so timely, in fact, the Fed required the episode to be released before their next meeting. Austan breaks down what the Federal Reserve actually does (and what it doesn’t), why Chicago has its own Fed, and how monetary policy decisions get made behind the scenes — from interest rates and inflation to employment and consumer spending.Austan also opens up about his path from University of Chicago professor to the White House, including how a personal connection with Barack Obama turned into a front-row seat during one of the most intense economic moments in modern history. He shares what surprised him most about policymaking in Washington, the pressure of making massive decisions with limited information, and why having diverse perspectives — your own “personal board of directors” — matters more than people realize.They get into why consumers still feel crushed by prices even when inflation cools, what’s driving the strength of the economy, and why housing affordability may be the biggest long-term issue facing younger generations. Austan even reveals what he considers the ultimate trading secret — and why, despite everything that can go wrong in the world, long-term investing has historically rewarded patience and belief in human innovation.Austan reveals all this and more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!

This week, Jason is joined by the hilarious Corporate Bro, Ross Pomerantz!He is someone who has lived in the high pressure, high performance world of corporate fiance and selling at Oracle and actually has the scars and stories to prove it. Ross brings a real unfiltered hilarious perspective in what enterprise sales really looks like behind the scenes. From ambition and burnout to the funny trade-offs nobody talks about unless you’re deep in it, he is covering it all. He is a speaker, investor, entrepreneur, and massive creator. Ross breaks down everything from playing two seasons of Single-A pro baseball to selling luxury apartments in Oakland during Occupy Wall Street, and the identity shift from athlete to enterprise sales at Oracle. He shares what it was like training to cold call, navigating an identity crisis, and clarifying that “Corporate Bro” was always meant to satirize the industry — not glorify it — after getting his start on Vine in 2013. We dive into spending a decade in sales before business school, negotiating lessons, trusting timing, and earning admission to Stanford, along with the fear of fully committing to content creation and how he scripts and produces highly shareable videos with his team. He also talks about appearing in a Super Bowl commercial alongside Matthew McConaughey for Salesforce, leveraging opportunities on LinkedIn, his speaking business, co-hosting a podcast with Corporate Natalie, angel investing, building alongside his wife, and what’s next.Ross reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the GroupTrading Secrets Steals & Deals!Momentous:Momentous Fiber+ addresses one of the most overlooked foundations of long-term performance: gut health.

This week, Jason is joined by two of the most inspiring Detroit Lions fans you’ll ever meet — Harry and Dan — in a special on-the-field episode recorded inside Ford Field after the Lions surprised Harry with an unforgettable day.Jason shares how a spontaneous Super Bowl concourse moment with Harry and Dan went viral for one simple reason: pure joy. But the story quickly became bigger — Harry’s family reached out to reveal he’s currently battling inoperable cancer, undergoing chemo to extend time, with no guarantee he’ll make it to next season. What followed was a wave of support that reached the Detroit Lions, leading to a private tour, special messages, and a reminder of what can happen when the internet actually rallies around something good.Harry opens up about being overwhelmed by the attention, and why his approach to life has always been rooted in finding the good in every day, staying positive through the hard moments, and treating people with kindness and respect. Dan reflects on what makes Harry so loved — that he makes every interaction about the other person, and genuinely wants everyone around him to have a great day.Harry also talks about his career in the glass business and the rare kind of loyalty you almost never hear about anymore: after his diagnosis, his employer at Weather Guard Window Company gave him a written promise that he’d always have a job there, supporting him fully through treatment and time off when needed.Jason and David wrap with a powerful takeaway: the “power of humanity” is real — and Harry’s light is proof that a single moment of kindness can ripple into thousands of people reconnecting with gratitude, perspective, and the people they love.Harry and Dan reveal all this and more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Monarch:Monarch isn’t your average personal finance app. Unlike most other personal finance apps, Monarch is built to make you proactive, not just reactive.

This week, Jason is joined by two people who have grown in this space together and are now building life side by side in the business and personally,  Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann!You know Giannina from Netflix’s Love is Blind and Blake from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, but what’s really exciting is the chapter they’re in right now. They are parents, got engaged, planning a wedding and recently started co-hosting different and together, which means they’re not just sharing a life, but sharing ideas, goals, and building something as a team. Blake and Giannina open up about what getting engaged looked like after becoming pregnant, how Blake chose the ring (and the conversation around diamonds vs. lab-grown), and how their spending habits have evolved over the years. Giannina shares how motherhood has reshaped her content and brand partnerships, including behind-the-scenes insight into some of their biggest deals, the noise that comes with the mom-content space, and how they protect their peace—and their child. They also dive into the financial realities of having a baby, talking money in therapy, Blake’s loyalty to Southwest Airlines, the time, energy, and investment poured into their home, and why the nightclub industry is currently struggling. From navigating the “love tax” when booking wedding vendors to refusing to compromise on what they truly want (with a little girl math sprinkled in), they reflect on what the future holds in entertainment—and the advice they’d give their younger selves.Blake and Giannina reveal all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Giannina Gibelli & Blake Horstmann Stay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the Group All Access: Free 30-Day Trial Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Square:With Square, you get all the tools to run your business, with none of the contracts or complexity.
