Welcome Loni!

From assistant to producer — Loni Rodgers spills on nearly a decade of climbing the industry ladder, and the discretion it took to do it quietly. She opens up about leaving her role with a notoriously "old Hollywood" boss right as the tabloids came calling (and why she never said a word), plus her journey through Amazon Studios, working under Angela Bassett's production banner, and now producing her own slate of features and a limited series. Along the way: a French Bulldog Instagram account that started an internet fight, a background-actress cameo that never made the final cut, and the two things they say actually matter in this business — taste and network. You don't want to miss this one.

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Podcast hosted by Meghan Grimm

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.

For the first time, Meghan turns the mic on herself. In this episode, the founder of Clyde Staffing and host of Clyde Confidential traces her wild path from a nursing major at Georgetown to celebrity assistant to agency founder.

If you've ever wondered how Clyde came to be (or what it actually takes to build a career, and a company, from the ground up), this is the one.

How I Became An Assistant For Hollywood's Biggest Names

Welcome Jeff Klein!

Hotelier Jeff Klein — the man behind San Vicente Bungalows, Sunset Tower, and the West Village — pulls back the curtain on building the most coveted membership clubs in LA and New York. He talks starting his career as a bellman before working his way up through housekeeping, the (very unconventional) way he hired his longtime right hand Gabé, and why loyalty to staff like Gabé and Dimitri is the secret sauce behind his clubs' cult-like followings. Plus: the real vetting process behind who gets in (and who gets kicked out), the biggest green and red flags in both employees and members, and why he thinks San Vicente will outlast every other club in the game. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build a room full of strangers who somehow all just get it — this one's for you.

Welcome Jae Rae!

This week on Clyde Confidential, Meghan sits down with her spiritual advisor, healer, and now-client Jay Rae — recorded (fittingly) on the eve of a full moon. Jay Rae isn't just a psychic; she's been Meghan's coach through business decisions, friendship drama, and every spiral in between. They dig into the real difference between new moons and full moons, why "timing is everything" isn't just a platitude, and how Jay Rae went from a kid who thought everyone could see dead people to reading charts for JLo and building a client list of A-listers who need someone they can actually trust. Jay Rae opens up about her own origin story — the astrologer who took her under her wing and threw her in front of a radio mic a week after they met, the phone call from Hollywood, and why she's never once broken a client's confidence in 20-plus years. Oh, and yes — there's a live reading. Multiple live readings. Buckle up.
