Leslie Golden was a pole dancer in small town, Texas, with a teeny Instagram following,

until a whirlwind weekend in L.A. where she blew up online. From there, she entered

a new world, one where partying in L.A. mansions, jet-setting to Thailand and getting glammed

up for brand campaigns was all part of a day's work. Leslie is just one of many influencers

who got famous on the internet and then tried to flip that cloud into a whole new life.

On this blew up, I'm going to show you how social media's stardom is made, and the

spawn con to the content houses, and how it all adds up to a new kind of fame that's

not always as glamorous as it looks. When attention is the ultimate currency, what links will

you go to to get it? And who's going to want a piece of your success?

From the Ring or Podcast Network, I'm Alyssa Perez-Negg. You can listen to this blew up

on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

feuds and frenemies. But first, you know what time it is? Halloween has ended.

Oh, yeah. And it's Goop Gifts guide season.

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

This is super bowl every year. My sister is with me, and she was like, didn't you guys

just do a goop? It does feel like it's been early this year, but I don't know. Maybe

she has done a mother's day one.
