Today's guest is the lovely Katy Bellotte! This interview is so exciting for me because I’ve been a fan of Katy’s for such a long time. I feel like I’ve known her at this point because I remember watching her high school doing makeup tutorials, then when she went off to university and then exchange, got her first job, and moved to NYC and she’s still one of my favorite Youtuber’s to this day. She now has almost half a million subscribers and a large following on her social channels. I know there are a lot of content creators out there now, and I’ve even interviewed a few on my podcast, but I believe that the content that Katy is creating is so authentic and really different from what I’ve seen out there. At only 24, it feels like she’s lived a lifetime and gives some really great advice in her videos and her podcast "Thick & Thin'. 

In this episode, we talk about how she left her seemingly "dream corporate job: at L’OREAL Paris to pursue freelance, ins and outs of working for yourself and getting clients, how she got started on Youtube and her streams of income, her successful podcast, and advice she has for college students.

But once he began his career at USC, no one expected what would happen next especially not Max.

So  “failing" as a Quarterback in College football, so not fulfilling the goals he had planned for. For people who aren’t too familiar with the sport, if you’re at the #1 recruiting spot, it’s believed that you have a real chance to play in the NFL. When I had listened to the episode, it honestly brought me to tears because you could really tell how much pain that the was in. Failing is something we all go through, it doesn't matter if you're an NCAA athlete, we all go through it in our careers and our personal life.

I’ve recently been really enjoying watching Selling Sunset on Netflix. I found the show very entertaining because selling real estate in the Los Angeles market can be glorious, given the area's sunny location and an abundance of the rich and famous living there. It can also be cutthroat as agents fight over clients and properties. "Selling Sunset" showcases the ups and downs of being a realtor in LA.  One of my favorite realtors on the show is Maya Vander. You can tell that she really understands her client's needs and is a natural negotiator. I truly believe that the skills that realtors use to be successful in their job can apply to many other career paths out there. 

In this episode, we talk about how she became a realtor in LA and in Miami, how she feels as a young woman in an industry dominated by men, the biggest challenges as a realtor during COVID, the behind the scenes and reality of filming a Netflix show, and advice she has on negotiating tough deals. 

Make sure to check out Season 3 of Selling Sunset on Netflix!

I remember when I was younger, one of my favorite comic books to read was the Archie Comic Books and it happened to be my mom's favorite as a child as well. From generation to generation, everyone always loved the Archie series. When I found out that Netflix was going to release a new TV show based on the books - I knew it was going to be a hit. Released in 2017 on CW, the show Riverdale just boomed right from the beginning and has grown to a huge following all over the world. I thought it would be so great to hear from one of the actresses of the show. At only 25 years old, Tiera Skovbye already has over ten years of acting experience under her belt. Spotted by an agent while at a Vancouver children’s festival when she was 7, Tiera seemingly kind of stumbled into the field. But once opportunity knocked there was no looking back. She is most known for her role in the hit teen drama series Riverdale as Polly Copper. She has also appeared in the show Dirty John as Young Betty, Global TV's Nurses, the fantastic movie Summer of 84’ and will be appearing in the upcoming movie '2 Hearts' alongside Jacob Elordi. That’s just to name a few of her successes. I thought it would be great to hear the perspective of being a young female actress and her experience with Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole. In this episode, Tiera talks about how she landed her role in Riverdale, what she finds most challenging as a female actress in Hollywood, the realities of having a large social media following, how she prepares for her roles, and advice she has for young actors trying to get their foot in the door.

"Well, now what?!” is a podcast where I will be having transparent and open conversations with people from diverse backgrounds about all things post-grad and figuring out what you want to do career wise. Having recently graduated university, I found it incredibly difficult just figuring things out and just adjusting to this new chapter in my life. I know a lot of people out there are in the same position, whether post-grad or not, or even entering a new phase in their life, I thought this would be the perfect way to share my experiences and loads of other people experiences with the reality that we are facing. So, follow me along this exciting journey!

I've had several influencers on the pod, but have yet to have one that does content creation full time AND is on her way to becoming a lawyer. She does it all!

Gabby is a full-time fashion influencer and going into her final year of law school.  She did her undergrad at UBC,  Masters at TRU, and now law school at TRU. Unexpectedly content creation has become a full-time job and she has been trying to balance both law and being an influencer. She never really expected content creation to become a huge component of her life, but it started to take off in her first year of law school, so she decided to keep going (versus stopping it).

We chat about if she ever sees both careers merging together or if she'll keep it separate, how she grew her page, learning that she had hearing loss at the age of 25 and dealing with that big life change, how she does long-distance and finding the love of her life! Loved chatting with Gabby! What an angel. 

If you’re like me and you’ve seen one too many movies or TV shows where the main characters have a cute little neighborhood cafe to chill at (Central Perk or @Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls, I'm looking at you), then you'll want to listen to this episode. 

I absolutely love having a main character moment at a coffee shop. 

What's a main character moment?

According to the New Yorker: Main-character moments are those in which you feel ineffably in charge, as if the world were there for your personal satisfaction.

To end the 10-episode podcast challenge I set myself 2 weeks ago, I go into why I love coffee shops, the intimacy of coffee shops, and some of my favorite coffee shops in the city. (Take a shot everytime I say the word "coffee shop".

Hope you enjoy!

It was a gray summer’s day, but on the first floor of a grand office block typically occupied by bankers and shipping brokers, Matilda Djerf was basking in the glory of Midsommar.

Ms. Djerf, a 25-year-old social media influencer who founded the fashion brand Djerf Avenue with her boyfriend, Rasmus Johansson, in 2019, has forged a fast-growing business empire on tantalizing glimpses of her soft-focus Scandi dream life — not to mention one of TikTok’s most emulated haircuts.

If you don't know Matilda, she should be on your radar. She commands a following of 2.6 million on Instagram and a million on TikTok on her personal accounts. She's the IT girl of our generation and millions of girls called themselves "Djerf Angels". I'm a fan of her brand and wanted to dive more into why everyone is so fascinated with Matilda.

Networking... nerve-wracking or exciting? 

We all have to do it in some way or another whether professionally or in our personal time. 

I personally love networking and share some of my insights on how to network successfully, how to build your LinkedIn profile, and how to meet new people/friends as an adult! :)

Hope these tips helped! 

Who doesn't love Subway? You know we do.

So of course, we are going to judge and roast people's Subway orders and share some of the more popular Subway orders in each country. We end the episode with a cute silly little Buzzfeed quiz on what our orders say about us and lastly, we do a quiz that tells us how kinky we are based on our Subway order.

Hope you enjoy :)

Yes, yes, I know. Some of you may think Crocs are extremely ugly or incredibly cute. But, there is no denying that they are the most comfortable shoe. I'm a Croc wearer myself, sporting a neon blue during the day, and a black during the night. If you've seen me sprinting down 4th in Kitsilano, chances are that I'm in sport mode in my Crocs. 

I dig into how Crocs made the biggest comeback and went from ugly poo poo shoe to a household staple. Let's dive in. Also, Crocs sponsor me xoxo
