This week, Jason is joined by content creator, podcast host, and former Barstool Sports personality, Alex Bennett!
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!

Alex: "I'm taking on all the risk" Jason: "Did you invest any of your own money?" Alex: "No." Jason: "...."

Still wild Dave gave them their IP back. The rationale that “it’s good for barstool if they go on and do well” I don’t think really holds up cuz the top creators in the space all came from barstool already (pat Mac, Alex cooper) so another person doing well after doesn’t really matter that much anymore. It seems like everyone knows u can become a star if u come to barstool

How much is Alex’s BF paying her for the ad placement, sick hat.

such a great episode!!! Big Ups to Alex, for being so candid on her entire career with Barstool, specifically the contract negotiations, and her conversations with Dave. As a Stoolie, who has a love/hate relationship with the antics of Dave, and the toxic chaos he hypes up (drama for ratings, is not my vibe), I really appreciate hearing a softer, human side of him. Well done Alex, on successfully negotiating her IP back, and pivoting into media. I'm so excited to see where you grow!

Trying to watch this episode, bc I love so many of the trading secrets podcasts, but it's really hard to get into this one :( Sound quality is tough. Have never heard of her before, but now that I'm watching I find her far less interesting and likable than Alex Cooper. Never watched any of her episodes, so maybe she's different there? But here she seems kinda masculine, brash, unexceptional, monotone, uninspiring, run of the mill, etc. compared to Alex Cooper. Am I the only one??? Hopefully she's much better on her podcast... Doesn't at all come across as an It Girl to me... but I'm not her generation. I think Alex Cooper has way more pizazz and ability to keep her audience listening and tuning in.

Sadly Alex is misrepresenting herself on here also. Her podcast she had was driven solely by hate. People all watched to hate her and Jordyn. Now they have started a media company and sadly have still not found themselves. I hope her and Jordyn find the husbands they are looking for and the fame she thrives for. Sorry had to come back after listening to the rest. Sorry Alex you can NOT re write history. I'll be watching from afar to see how your model goes. Not sure you are in reality yet. Oh and thank God for trust funds.
