Summary
Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad. Kev’s back in Hollywood mode with Ashley, and they get into how much the industry has changed, the death of the “movie star,” why everything feels smaller, safer, and more manufactured now… and how fame, deals, and platforms really get built behind the scenes (including some very real talk on contracts, leverage, and knowing when to walk away). There’s also a deep dive into what’s blowing up right now, Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle, Barstool, podcast deals, and why the people who win are usually the ones who just… don’t care what anyone thinks. But underneath all of it is a bigger thread: authenticity. Who actually makes it, who fades out, and why staying real is the only thing that seems to last now. Talk shawtly!
