This week, Jason is joined by social media influencer and TikTok Megastar Griffin Johnson! 
  
 Griffin rose to social media fame in the early stages of the pandemic after being a founding member of Sway LA, a notoriously “fratty” TikTok collaboration house comprising some of the most popular online stars. Since then, Griffin’s social media following has grown to over 13 million followers between TikTok and Instagram and if you include all the other social media platforms out there, it's 15 million+. He’s now led various other career opportunities within acting, music, and the investing space. 
  
 Griffin provides insight on how he started on TikTok with the sole intention of making money, how attending Playlist Live resulted in the launching point of his social media career, how much money he made with each venture, and his different interests in the film world. Griffin also reveals how he was originally in nursing school to go into anesthesia with never having any ambitions to do social media, what the biggest deal he lost while living in the Sway house, what his best business move was, and what project he is most excited for. What was his first brand deal?  How did he end up with a lip tattoo? What is the most ruthless industry he has been exposed to? What is his finance goal for 2023?
  
 Griffin reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

More Than Money:  Changing the business game with Abilitie’s 12-week MBAs with founder and CEO Bjorn Billhardt

This week, Jason is joined by professional golfer, 2017 Masters champion and newly joined LIV Tour golf professional, Sergio Garcia!



Sergio has spent most of his career in the top 10 official world golf rankings with winning 39 career titles and well over $50,000,000 in tournament earnings. Sergio has supplemented his on course earnings with several brand partnerships. In recent news, Sergio became one of the many PGA Tour golfers to switch over to the newly formed golf tour, the LIV Tour. Many golf professionals, executives, and media outlets have been critical of golfers who would leave behind the spots on the PGA Tour for LIV, but that momentum is changing significantly. 



Sergio gives insight to what helps him be more focused, how it is important to try everything and then pick a sport to focus on, the high and lows of his golf career financially & professionally, what he has done differently mentally since his twenties, how he handles the stressful moments in his golf game, and what brand partnerships look like after winning the Masters. Sergio also reveals the truth behind the money of the Ryder cup, where he thinks the future of the Ryder cup will be, why competition is good, and answers a few rapid fire questions! Does he worry about his legacy? How do caddies get compensated?

More Than Money: Health is wealth with Kion CEO and co-founder Angelo Keely breaking down amino acids and proteins

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation alum turned fashion designer, home chef and content creator, Kit Keenan!



Many know Kit from her time on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, but what you may not know is that Kit is no stranger to the spotlight before going on the show, she was raised in New York City by her famous fashion designer mother, Cynthia Rowley. Growing up watching her mother succeed in the fashion industry gave her access and perspective on the fashion industry that many individuals would never have until much later in their careers. Now a few years later in her career, Kit has branded herself as Gen Z’s answer to Martha Stewart by leveraging her knowledge of the fashion industry and adding a twist of her love of cooking. She has been entertaining her nearly 600k followers on Instagram and TikTok with fashion-focused content and hosting a social media cooking series “What’s Kit Cooking”. 



Kit gives insight to how she deals with imposter syndrome, how her perspective changed on the word influencer, what her mom thought about her going on The Bachelor, how she feels being labeled as a nepo baby, how to get out of the shadow of someone else, her relationship with money, how she ended up in a campaign with Hailey Bieber’s company, and what she learned from launching her own clothing line. Kit also reveals what she thinks she spends too much money on, how she would define her brand, behind the scenes of influencer collaborations, how she plans from a financial standpoint, how finding her niche helped her grow exponentially, where fashion trends are at today, and what the best deal she has done is. What are her claims to fame in the Bachelor franchise? Would she ever go back on reality TV? What social media platform does she make more on? 



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