This is the last episode of the season, but we’ll be back very soon after a short summer hiatus. We couldn't think of a more perfect guest to end things off with than multi-hyphenate Kamie Crawford.
She has quite the CV. She’s a producer and creator, the host of MTV’s Catfish: The TV Show, Are You The One? *and* Ex on the Beach, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and the former Miss Teen USA 2010. She also has her very own relationship advice podcast, Relationshi*t.
Kamie originally wanted to be a dermatologist, but quickly pivoted to communications after taking biology in college and hating it. She did local red carpet interviews and sent her reel to different news stations. She even moved to New York and modeled while trying to land TV hosting work that never came.
Things changed in 2018 when someone in casting for Catfish reached out to see if she’d be interested in guest hosting with Nev Schulman. She was a natural and landed a spot as a full-time host.
In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Kamie talks about lying on her job application to land her first job at American Apparel, when to know which career opportunities to say "yes" to, and how being delusional is the reason she got to where she is today.

The Outsider's Playbook with Ciera Rogers
Discover the Adobe Express mobile app, including Adobe Firefly generative AI technology, now available on iOS and Android. Head to adobe.com/express or your app store to download today.
We’ve all felt like an outsider at one point—Ciera Rogers wants you to use it to your advantage.
Ciera grew up houseless on the streets of Houston, Texas, in her mom’s Jeep. Then, with just $10, she moved to LA, lived off of her friend’s couch and started posting her thrifted and vintage clothes for sale on Instagram.
And this is how Babes was born in 2012. She pivoted from vintage to curve-friendly basics when she noticed a gap in the market. Yup, this was way before Skims was even a thing.
Today, Babes has hit seven figures and has been worn by Kim Kardashian and even championed by Beyoncé. Ciera has been featured as "the designer to watch" in media outlets including Galore, Black Enterprise, Elle South Africa and others.
Ciera is now a homeowner, and her debut memoir, called The Outsider Advantage, tells her story of resilience, determination and entrepreneurial grit.

The Messy Truth of “Having It All” with Alli Webb
Never miss an episode, subscribe to the Girlboss Radio podcast: https://girlboss.com/pages/radio
Who says you can’t have it all? Alli Webb proves otherwise, having seamlessly transitioned from a stay-at-home mom to a powerhouse entrepreneur who truly does have it all right now (her words)—and with great hair, too. Keyword: seamlessly. Don’t be fooled—it hasn’t always been easy.
Alli Webb is the founder of the iconic blowout salon chain Drybar, a New York Times bestselling author, a successful businesswoman, and a mother of two. She expanded Drybar beyond the salons with a successful product line available in major retailers like Sephora and Ulta and sold the brand for a staggering $255 million in 2019.
In today’s episode, we chatted about Alli’s latest book, The Messy Truth, her mindset shift from managing a single location to scaling Drybar to over 160 salons nationwide, and discussed the signs of burnout that ultimately led to what she calls “her great depression.” Plus, Alli pulls back the curtain of what was really happening behind closed doors during the peak of her success and she shares a sneak peek about what’s next for her (spoiler: a new haircare business!).
