Welcome Tommy Dorfman! Host Meghan Grimm sits down with actress, filmmaker, and author Tommy Dorfman — and Tommy's former assistant Natalie Gerber, who she's been trying to rehire ever since. Together, they talk about what makes a great working relationship, why assistant work is way harder than people think, playing the long game in Hollywood, and the very real chaos of coming home from a ten-day trip abroad to discover 38 packages waiting in your lobby. Plus: Tommy's memoir, her upcoming films, and her theory that she'll peak in her 70s.

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.

Welcome Tinx!

Tinx — internet big sister, TikTok OG, radio host, and author — sits down with Meghan alongside her right-hand woman Lauren for a candid, hilarious look at one of the most talked-about duos in the influencer space. What started as a "we'll open packages and keep it casual" job listing has turned into a five-year blur of canceled flights, Gothic Louisiana Airbnbs, couture corset emergencies, and building an actual empire together. They get what makes an assistant truly irreplaceable, why how someone treats the people around you says everything, and why storytelling is the only thing that will cut through in today's oversaturated internet landscape. Trust us — this is one you don't want to skip.

Welcome Justin Jesso!

This week, Meghan's couch is at full capacity — she's joined by her friend and talented singer-songwriter Justin Jesso, plus his two right-hand people: Julie Dawson, his head of social, and Dylan Owen, his chief of staff. Justin is best known for co-writing and singing "Stargazing" with Kygo, a gig that's taken him from a Monday writing session to Madison Square Garden and Coachella in the span of eight years. But now he's doing something bold: going fully independent and betting on himself. In this one, they get into what it actually looks like to leave a major label behind, build your own team from scratch, and take the reins on your own career. Plus, Justin shares the fan stories that make it all worth it. Julie and Dylan also pull back the curtain on what it's really like to work for an independent artist who will absolutely slide across a bathroom floor in his underwear if you ask him to. You won't want to miss it.
