This week, Jason is joined by an absolutely powerhouse in the fashion business and now reality TV world, Rebecca Minkoff!
Rebecca Minkoff is a renowned fashion designer, entrepreneur, and author who co-founded the Rebecca Minkoff brand in 2005 with her brother, Uri Minkoff. What started with an "I Love New York" shirt has since grown into a multi-million dollar empire, known for its handbags, ready-to-wear collections, footwear, and accessories. Continuously adapting to changing trends, Rebecca has expanded into fragrance and sustainable fashion. Recently, she joined The Real Housewives of New York, offering fans an inside look into her personal life and the challenges of growing a business while balancing family and fame.
Rebecca discusses the realities of her RHONY experience, including how the show differed from her expectations, its impact on her brand, and the emotional toll of the drama. She shares insights on navigating business challenges like tariffs and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as her strategic moves to ensure longevity. Additionally, she reveals the complexities of selling her company, shifting away from influencer-driven promotions, and empowering women through her book Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success. With candid advice on working with family, investments, and the evolving job market, Rebecca's journey highlights both the rewards and challenges of entrepreneurship in the modern world.

228. Kelley Flanagan Returns! From lessons learned from previous relationships and importance of family, major updates from the last few years, and not worrying about a five year plan Episode Description:

This week, Jason is joined by a Bachelor fan favorite and one of his great personal friends, Kelley Flanagan!
Kelley last joined us on Trading Secrets at the end of 2022 when we dived into her time on The Bachelor, her career as an attorney, and plans for her life as a content creator. Professionally, her content creation career has fully taken off as she shares fashion and lifestyle content with her 1 million plus followers. Personally, she has experienced some of life’s hardest moments as she continues to fight her battle with Lyme disease, going through a public breakup, and more recently the loss of her father.
In this episode, Kelley opens up about why she stepped away from podcasts for a few years, the joy she’s found in her life, and the personal, financial, and professional impact of moving for a relationship. She discusses how her goals were put on hold during her last relationship, the safety nets she kept, and her new golden rules for dating. Kelley also reflects on her parents’ marriage, why she’s not stressing about having kids at 33, her thoughts on The Bachelor fanbase, and the truth always coming out. From her Chanel bag journey to the work ethic instilled by her dad, Kelley shares why she doesn’t have a five-year plan, whether she'd return to reality TV, and what she would have done differently in regards to the show.
