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.

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.
