This week, Jason is joined by a very familiar guest — himself — as David Arduin returns to the host chair for the annual JTA recap episode!In this raw and reflective conversation, Jason opens up about what 2025 really looked like behind the scenes — from the emotional chaos he was sitting in during last year’s recap, to the clarity, peace, and confidence he feels now. He looks back on the predictions he got completely wrong, including being convinced he’d be out of Nashville, and explains how life ended up taking a very different turn in the best possible way.Jason shares what changed most in his personal life, why he’s finally stopped overexplaining himself, and how this season feels different from anything he’s experienced before. He talks about finding real alignment, what he now values more than career growth or social media milestones, and why 2026 feels less like survival mode and more like building the life he actually wants.On the business side, Jason breaks down the biggest year yet for both Trading Secrets and Rewired Talent Agency. He shares how the podcast continues to grow beyond Bachelor Nation, why the agency had a record-setting year, and how his own brand generated millions through major partnerships, speaking, and strategic niche positioning. He also gives a brutally honest look at the creator economy, what makes talent marketable, and why follower count means a lot less than most people think.Jason also reveals the details behind buying his first home in Nashville, how he negotiated the deal, why this moment means so much at 37 years old, and what it represents in the bigger picture of where his life is heading. From relationships and self-worth to business growth, money, and long-term vision, this episode is one of the most honest JTA recaps yet.Jason reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Wayfair Find furniture, decor, and essentials that fit your unique style and budget.

281. Austan Goolsbee: Chicago Fed President on Inflation, Interest Rates & the Real State of the U.S. Economy!

He shares what surprised him most about policymaking in Washington, the pressure of making massive decisions with limited information, and why having diverse perspectives — your own “personal board of directors” — matters more than people realize.They get into why consumers still feel crushed by prices even when inflation cools, what’s driving the strength of the economy, and why housing affordability may be the biggest long-term issue facing younger generations. Austan even reveals what he considers the ultimate trading secret — and why, despite everything that can go wrong in the world, long-term investing has historically rewarded patience and belief in human innovation.Austan reveals all this and more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!

From ambition and burnout to the funny trade-offs nobody talks about unless you’re deep in it, he is covering it all. He is a speaker, investor, entrepreneur, and massive creator. Ross breaks down everything from playing two seasons of Single-A pro baseball to selling luxury apartments in Oakland during Occupy Wall Street, and the identity shift from athlete to enterprise sales at Oracle.

279. Harry’s Light: The Power of Humanity Behind a Viral Detroit Lions Moment
This week, Jason is joined by two of the most inspiring Detroit Lions fans you’ll ever meet — Harry and Dan — in a special on-the-field episode recorded inside Ford Field after the Lions surprised Harry with an unforgettable day.Jason shares how a spontaneous Super Bowl concourse moment with Harry and Dan went viral for one simple reason: pure joy. But the story quickly became bigger — Harry’s family reached out to reveal he’s currently battling inoperable cancer, undergoing chemo to extend time, with no guarantee he’ll make it to next season. What followed was a wave of support that reached the Detroit Lions, leading to a private tour, special messages, and a reminder of what can happen when the internet actually rallies around something good.Harry opens up about being overwhelmed by the attention, and why his approach to life has always been rooted in finding the good in every day, staying positive through the hard moments, and treating people with kindness and respect. Dan reflects on what makes Harry so loved — that he makes every interaction about the other person, and genuinely wants everyone around him to have a great day.Harry also talks about his career in the glass business and the rare kind of loyalty you almost never hear about anymore: after his diagnosis, his employer at Weather Guard Window Company gave him a written promise that he’d always have a job there, supporting him fully through treatment and time off when needed.Jason and David wrap with a powerful takeaway: the “power of humanity” is real — and Harry’s light is proof that a single moment of kindness can ripple into thousands of people reconnecting with gratitude, perspective, and the people they love.Harry and Dan reveal all this and more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Monarch:Monarch isn’t your average personal finance app. Unlike most other personal finance apps, Monarch is built to make you proactive, not just reactive.

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur and former CEO, now Executive Chairman of fitness brand Barry’s, Joey Gonzalez!Joey had dedicated over a decade of his life trying to break into the entertainment business in LA, but after realizing he wasn’t achieving the financial stability he desired, he knew he had to make a change. In addition to acting, he was working jobs in real estate and in the restaurant industry before stumbling upon his role as a fitness instructor with Barry’s Bootcamp. From there, Joey organically worked his way up the company, eventually assuming the role of CEO and now Executive Chariman 11 years after taking his first class. Joey breaks down how failure and adversity have been some of his greatest teachers—and why settling for a traditional nine-to-five often comes at the cost of fulfillment and passion. He shares how his early career in acting seamlessly translated into becoming a world-class fitness instructor, from musicality and performance to programming and staying calm in chaos. Joey dives into the business side of fitness, including how to advocate for yourself, what consumers should look for before committing to a membership, how locations are selected, and the real drivers behind their global success—from private equity and adaptability to embracing local nuance in every market. He also reflects on how COVID reshaped the business, breaks down instructor pay structures, offers insight into his personal nutrition and training, recommends must-have home gym equipment (including how he discovered the Woodway treadmill), and shares his thoughts on pursuing an OPM or MBA—before tying it all together with a focus on the four F’s.Joey reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Joey GonzalezStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!

271. Chloe Veitch: 10+ reality TV shows by 26! From unpaid modeling jobs to Netflix reality TV star, how she navigates imposer syndrome, follows her intuition, and the $$$ lessons along the way
This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest breakout stars in Netflix’s reality TV world, Chloe Veitch!Chloe first rose to fame on Too Hot To Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite with her humor, honesty, and a big personality. She went on to compete on The Circle and later on Perfect Match, and most recently hosting Sneaky Links After Dark, building a reputation as one of the most recognizable faces on Netflix reality universe. Beyond television, Chloe has leveraged her fame into a career as a model, influencer, and content creator, connecting with millions of fans across social media.Chloe opens up about her early dream of pursuing a career in London’s West End, how her relationship with money has evolved, and why she used opportunities as a form of escapism growing up. She shares how getting signed to a boutique London agency at 18 — and taking an unpaid modeling job — unexpectedly led to Too Hot to Handle, plus the reality show she almost joined and why she played The Circle more strategically. Chloe breaks down how TV exposure turns into brand deals, the hard lessons she’s learned about valuing income, why being single performs better on reality TV, and the one show she would never do again.
