185. Looking for a man in finance? The origin story behind the viral hit by Girl on Couch! Megan Boni reveals the whirlwind of capitalizing off a joke on dating, the deals behind it, and escaping the 9 to 5

This week, Jason is joined by content creator and the voice behind the viral sensation of “looking for a man in finance, trust fund,  6 '5”, blue eyes” who goes by Girl on Couch on social media, Megan Boni!

Prior to going viral for her parody of what girls are looking for in today’s dating world, Megan was working a corporate 9 to 5 job. Shortly after her video caught the eyes of millions of social media, she found herself with a music label and brands from all over at her doorstep wanting to partner with her. Her outlying success to fame quickly emphasized to people everywhere, how people are creating and consuming music today. 

Megan gives insight to how she started posting on TikTok in the first place, how addicting going viral on social media can be, where the idea to Men in Finance came from, how long after the video went viral that she was working with major music labels thanks to her best friend Amanda, why she turned down a $100k deal, what royalties look like for the song, what she wants to do long term, and who gets a percentage of her income. Megan also reveals which platform she feels most comfortable with, what it was like meeting David Guetta, how she handles the hate online, and her advice for those who want to get out of their 9 to 5. Does she want to be a pop star? How much money did she make on TikTok off that video? Has anyone reached out to her to be on reality TV? 

Megan reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
