Birds Eye

Your bank account knows more about you than you think. Season 2 of BirdsEye opens with host Jade Watson and Emily Green, Head of @Ellevest Wealth Management, getting into what actually shapes our relationship with money.

Emily breaks down how self-worth and financial worth are more tangled up than most of us realize, and why aligning your money with your actual values (not someone else's idea of "financial responsibility") is the real starting point for control over your life and career.

This one's for every woman who's felt like the financial world wasn't built with her in mind. It wasn't. So let's talk about how to build something better.

The rules of building an audience are changing fast.

Jade Watson breaks down what actually mattered in content, business, and culture in 2025, and what to pay attention to going into 2026.

Jade covers the 2025 Winners (IRL events, personal branding, podcasting, and why Snapchat is still a slept-on cash cow), the 2025 Losers (rigid thinkers, broken visa systems, "girlboss" culture, and the TikTok-to-podcast pipeline), her TBD List (remote work's real future, work-life cycles), and her boldest 2026 Predictions, like creators becoming small businesses, mid-form content rising, live experiences as the new algorithm, and portfolios replacing resumes.

This is for anyone building a career, a creator brand, or their first business right now. It's time to get ahead of what's coming. Let's show you how.

There's no roadmap to working in music. You have to figure it out yourself, sometimes twice.

Tyler Tassen, music executive and founder of Endemic Marketing, gets into how she built a multi-hyphenate career across both corporate (Amazon Music Canada) and independent spaces.

She and Jade also get into AI's growing impact on artists and what real talent looks like up close.

This is for anyone trying to break into an industry that feels impossible to crack, or juggle multiple passions without losing your mind. It's time to find your way in. Let's show you how.

Anyone can put on a white coat and call themselves an expert online.

We sit down with Dr. Raven Baxter (better known online as  @RaventheScienceMaven ) molecular biologist, science educator, and one-woman campaign to make science feel joyful and relevant to your life.

Raven breaks down how to think like a scientist in a world of TikTok "experts," why most of our DNA is actually made of ancient viruses, what's really happening inside your cells, and how representation changes who feels like they belong in science. She also opens up about leaving drug discovery, where she helped build the first protocol used in Parkinson's research, to earn a PhD in science education and build a culturally responsive framework for science communication.

This is for anyone trying to make sense of what's real online. It's time to think more critically. Let's show you how.

Cate Luzio, Founder and CEO of Luminary, one of the most respected global communities for women and allies in business, explains what it really takes to build a self-funded company from the ground up.

She and Jade also unpack the evolution of "girlboss" culture, rebuilding self-advocacy at work, and why men need to be part of the conversation for real change.

She's found common ground with cartel bosses, assassins, and scammers, and lived to tell every story.

This week on BirdsEye, we feature Mariana Van Zeller, Emmy-winning journalist for National Geographic and host of Trafficked, as she explains what it really takes to report from inside the world's most dangerous black and gray markets.

She also shares stories from Trafficked, her new podcast The Hidden Third, and her surprisingly fond take on which black markets have the "most fun" lifestyle.

This is for anyone who wants to find calm in chaos and build real connection across differences. It's time to lead with curiosity instead of judgment. Let's show you how.
