Summary
Rayna is the co-host of Girls Gotta Eat, one of the most successful podcasts in the world known for its hilarious, unfiltered takes on dating, relationships, sex, and modern life. Beyond podcasting, she is a creative powerhouse. She launched one of the first viral food and lifestyle accounts on instagram and turned that early success into a full-blown media career. Now between producing weekly episodes, managing live shows across the country, and building brand partnerships and so much more, she is a master class in how to turn creativity into a thriving business.
Rayna breaks down why talking openly about money is essential in relationships, her take on dating apps and what to keep in mind when navigating them, the difference between icks and true turn-offs, and how often couples are having sex on average. She shares what she considers an ideal first date, her thoughts on who should pay, and why she strongly supports prenups. Rayna also dives into the business side of building Girls Gotta Eat—from her early career at Amazon to how she and Ashley operate as partners, how podcast advertising differs from social media, and what fans can expect from their live shows. She sheds light on the financials behind touring, the reality of spending more to make more, what aspiring podcasters should consider before launching, and what it took to build a sexual wellness brand, including investing a million dollars of their own money and navigating industry restrictions. Finally, she discusses working with Dear Media and why she hopes to podcast forever.
Rayna reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
