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.

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.

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.

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.

This week, Jason is joined by luxury real estate developer, entrepreneur, and one of the standout stars of Netflix’s Members Only Palm Beach, Hilary Musser!

With more than two decades in Palm Beach, Hilary has built a powerhouse career in high-end real estate, overseeing and selling millions and millions of dollars in luxury properties and custom waterfront estates. Known for her sharp business instincts, meticulous eye for design, and a deep understanding of elite social circles, Hilary brings a unique perspective on wealth, influence, and building success on your own terms. 
Hilary opens up about why she doesn’t believe in the idea of “Palm Beach royalty,” and how she’s focused on building something entirely her own in Palm Beach in 2005. She breaks down what that process really looks like, from developer margins to the importance of exceptional taste and staying true to her brand. She also shares how she reaches her buyers, and the unexpected path that led her to working with Netflix. Hilary talks about why she has no plans to join the Real Housewives franchise, and the kinds of shows she actually enjoys.

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.

This week, Jason is joined by Megan Eugenio aka Overtime Megan!
Megan has been working with Overtime, a digital sports brand, aimed at the next generation of sports fans and athletes since early 2020. Her engaging personality and basketball knowledge helped her quickly gain a large audience on the Overtime platform, becoming one of their most recognizable faces. Over the last few years, her social media following has grown to over 3 million followers, and she continues to dip her toes in various areas in the sports and entertainment industries, including a recent guest appearance on NFL Red Zone with host Scott Hanson.
Megan Eugenio opens up about breaking into a male-dominated industry while staying true to her unapologetically girly self and keeping an open mind along the way. She shares the unexpected path that led her to Overtime within a month of starting school, working just four hours a week for $15 an hour as a college freshman, and eventually signing her talent contract. Megan discusses the importance of education, why having knowledge in your arsenal matters, and whether she’d ever consider leaving Overtime as she expands her reach into new ventures. She also dives into blind confidence, managing nerves, handling her Snapchat being hacked, and navigating the dark side of the internet after a public scandal. Megan reflects on building thick skin, leaning on a strong support system, her dream job, the hardest part of dating, and her biggest tips for succeeding on social media.
