267. Charlotte Flair: From personal trainer to WWE Superstar, BTS of what led her to pursue wrestling, building her own success, navigating industry pressures and the true value of authenticity

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest names in sports entertainment, WWE Superstar, Charlotte Flair! With 14x Championship reigns, and countless main events under her belt, Charlotte redefined what’s possible for women in professional wrestling. As the daughter of WWE legend Ric Flair, she was born into one of the most famous families in wrestling. But Charlotte isn’t just carrying the Flair legacy, she is the legacy and she’s writing her own chapter as one of the greatest superstars of all time. From headlining WrestleMania 35 to becoming one of the highest paid women in the business, Charlotte has turned athletic talent, brand savvy, and sheer determination into a global empire. Charlotte opens up about growing up during the height of her dad’s career and the moment she first recognized his success. She shares how college taught her the fundamentals of budgeting and saving, what life looked like between graduation and joining NXT, and how working as a private personal trainer earning $55k her first year shaped her. She reflects on the pivotal role her brother played in getting her to NXT, how training then compares to training now on the main roster, and the times Triple H reminded her that opportunity didn’t guarantee success. Charlotte explains how she stays true to herself as Ashley while portraying the opposite version of herself as Charlotte, the walls that character allowed her to build, and her experiences combating ageism in professional wrestling. She breaks down tagging with Lexi and how that partnership formed, the intentional construction of the Charlotte Flair character—rooted in dominance, female empowerment, and the Flair legacy—and her continuous battle with perfectionism. Charlotte discusses how winning her first title set her trajectory, how she honors the women who paved the way, and what the WWE Unreal episode revealed about her injury. She also shares the avenues she wants to pursue outside of wrestling, her best financial move, which reality show she wants to try, and answers rapid-fire questions. Charlotte reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

Mark’s story is a powerful example of long-term career growth and leadership evolution from his early days managing teams and customer experience to now overseeing global strategy at one of the world's leading financial technology companies. His career is built on a people-first leadership, what it takes to thrive inside a major organization, and the lessons he’s learned about mentorship, career resilience, and defining success.  Mark opens up about his very first job at Baskin Robbins in high school and how those early lessons stuck with him throughout his career. He reflects on the pivotal decision that reshaped his professional path, the power of intellectual curiosity, and how he learned to stop being intimidated by others—remembering that everyone is “just people.” Mark walks through what a typical day looks like for him at Intuit, why staying close to the technology is essential, and how generative AI is transforming the way Intuit’s Consumer Platform serves customers with speed, personalization, and scale.

Jake has become one of the most recognizable culinary voices of his generation, building an empire at the intersection of food, culture and social media. Jake has used his creativity to turn recipes into a thriving brand. His cookbooks Jew-ish, I Could Nosh, and his recent release Dinner Party Animal became instant bestsellers - earning praise for blending nostalgia with modern flavor, and for celebrating heritage beyond food. Jake is a master of brand strategy. Through his Wake and Jake platform, he has launched partnerships with major brands, developed original media content, and positioned himself as a culinary entrepreneur, redefining what it means to build a kitchen brand in a digital age.  Jake Cohen dives into his unconventional career path—jumping from the Culinary Institute of America into a 3-star Michelin kitchen, navigating low-paying editorial roles, test kitchens, and even a year as a Time Out New York food critic—all while staying true to himself and chasing an end goal he couldn’t yet fully see. He breaks down the realities of making ends meet, the differences between editorial and commercial shoots, how labor impacts the way he approaches dining out, and why maintaining a healthy relationship with social media matters. Jake opens up about his first cookbook pitch getting rejected, the surprising cost of cookbook photography, taking creative control of his team after book one, nearly joining a culinary hype house, and his “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” philosophy. He also shares how his Hulu show Jake Makes It Easy came together, when he knew he had the makings of a reality star, the power of word-of-mouth momentum, and closes with rapid fire questions.

This week, Jason is joined by Love Island USA standout and rising lifestyle creator, Kaylor Martin! Kaylor became a fan favorite during season six of Love Island where her humor, authenticity, and confidence caught national attention. Since leaving the villa, she turned that spotlight into a career, growing her platform, collaborating with some of the biggest brands in the country, and building a personal brand that is going well beyond TV.  Kaylor dives into the many different ways she was making an income before Love Island — from juggling six college classes and three jobs to tutoring on the side. She shares how she graduated college and flew to Fiji just a week later, what the application process for Love Island was really like, and why she decided to be bold and a little vulgar in her questionnaire. Kaylor opens up about her expectations going into the show versus what actually happened, her relationship with money, and why she still holds onto the broke college student mentality. She talks about spending the last of her money on Shein outfits for the show, how she hopes to use her platform moving forward, and whether she’d consider going back to school.  Kaylor also breaks down the value she sees in education, how she defines her brand, and why she’s sticking with content creation. She takes listeners behind the scenes of Love Island — including how she got some secret intel — reveals how much her first brand deal paid, and shares why she loves staying constantly busy.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the fast rising stars in Netflix’s global reality universe, Harry Jowsey! After first breaking onto the scene with Netflix unscripted TV, Harry has become one of the faces of the platform with his own show “Let’s Marry Harry” premiering in 2026. He was the centerpiece of Netflix’s summer breakout event earlier this year where the streamer spotlighted him as one of its breakout stars. However, Harry’s career goes further beyond reality TV as he breaks into acting with starring roles in Netflix’s upcoming “The Wrong Paris” and “Billy Knight” where he will be opposite Al Pacino, and the horror indie film Horrified. He is also an entrepreneur launching PASH, a sustainable brand with a philanthropic mission inspired by his personal experience. Harry Jowsey is back — and this time, he’s peeling back the curtain on what’s changed since his last appearance in 2021. From the unique path he’s carved in television to the downside of being “too good” in the industry, Harry gets candid about how he’s grown, what he’s learned, and how he’s navigating the highs and lows of fame. He opens up about dealing with online hate and turning it into a lesson, the realities of living and working in LA’s film industry, and why redefining what it means to “take a break” has been a game changer. Harry also dives into the making of Let’s Marry Harry, the likelihood of a proposal, his personal goal to read daily, and where he’s making the most money right now. Plus, Harry weighs in on the current state of reality TV vs. scripted work, the shows he passed on (and may regret), his experience working as an actor, joining the Unwell network with Alex Cooper, his desire to work on projects that simply make people feel good, and his unfiltered take on today’s social media landscape.

This week, Jason is joined by author, entrepreneur, professor, and most notably former member of the FBI, known as the mast negotiator, Chris Voss!

In 2008, after spending 24 years and working 150 international hostage cases for the FBI, Chris founded the Black Swan group which serves as a consulting and training agency for both businesses and individuals on negotiating skills.

Chris also brings his negotiation expertise into everyday life—offering strategies for navigating dating, marriage, and divorce, the power of telling the truth, and why curiosity can be a superpower when dealing with tight-lipped people.
