This week, Jason is joined by one of Bravo’s newest and most beloved cast members on the new hit show Southern Charm, Olivia Flowers!

Olivia became well known after joining Southern Charm’s cast in 2022 before season eight of the show. However, prior to that, Olivia actually started out in a career working behind the scenes of Hollywood as a production assistant for various TV shows and shorts. Olivia has made the most of her time on the show becoming a fan favorite in such a short period of time too. However, it has not been easy for her having gone through a very public breakup and the unexpected loss of her brother last year.  

Olivia gives insight to how she has been enjoying the major change within the last two years of her career, the reality of coming to LA and romanticizing the idea of acting, how her parents supported her, the importance of enjoying the process of working through each stage of your career, moving to Atlanta and getting more auditions, the different roles she works in the television industry, and how acting has taught her how to control her emotions and not be impulsive in moments. Olivia also reveals the difference between scripted and unscripted TV, how she ended up on Southern Charm, how she would like to expand on her interests, how setbacks can lead to fueling progress and an impact on others, advocating for therapy, how to manage money in relationships, and her best advice for branding yourself. How much time do you get for an audition? What does she think her niche will be? What has been her biggest challenge she has had to overcome now with having a big platform? What was her biggest financial high?

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