Summary
Alex co-hosts the Mean Girl podcast alongside Jordyn Woodruff and has been a content creator for the network since she was hired on in 2021. Prior to joining Barstool, Alex was known for her appearance on Bravo’s TV reality show Sweet Home Alabama where she worked for the show’s star, Jennifer Welsh. Shortly after, Alex was discovered by Barstool when a string of social media posts of her following and her mother went viral. A few years later, 500,000+ social media followers, Alex has taken full advantage of her major career change.
Alex gives insight to when she started talking about money, what the hiring process and contract was like when she started at Barstool, why she thinks you have to do things for free sometimes, how she started picking herself over other people, why she has to stop looking at the numbers for the podcast, thinking outside the box with OnlyFans. Alex returns in the first ever before and after to reveal the numbers behind her time at Barstool, the process and timeline of how she left Barstool, how they almost lost the IP due to ghosting, where she stands with Dave currently, how she launched her own media company, the money behind her divorce, and liking herself more. What platform is her favorite? What role did LinkedIn play in her getting hired at Barstool? What is the worst investment she ever made? What is the best thing that has ever happened to the podcast? How many offers did they get after leaving Barstool?
Alex reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
