Trading Secrets

This week, Jason is joined by Cam Fordham!
Cam is the mastermind behind some of the biggest digital marketing campaigns in entertainment and sports history. From helping artists and athletes building their online presence to running an agency that connects global brands with massive audiences, Cam’s story is all about vision and execution. What started as a few digital partnerships in the music space has led into a full service creative powerhouse, managing content for some of the most recognizable names in the world.
Cam dives into how he bootstrapped while scaling the business, his connection with Todd from Raising Cane’s, and the moment he couldn’t believe the numbers in front of him. He breaks down which events drive the most impressions, the most effective marketing tactics he’s learned, and the importance of honesty, relationships, and maintaining a human element. Cam also shares his perspective on the future of content, Get Engaged’s investment arm, how to bring fresh ideas into tired spaces, the toughest challenges in his industry, the benefits of LinkedIn, where he sees AI heading, and wraps up with a rapid-fire round. 
Cam reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

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.
