Lisa Levey, a veteran reality TV producer and editor who's worked on Real Housewives of New Jersey, Bravo shows, and more, joins us to talk about the brutal reality of freelance life, why AI can't edit reality TV yet, and the stories nobody asks about.

Lisa's journey is a masterclass in sustainable creative hustle. She shares why living in constant fear is actually her superpower, how she's never had a traditional job, and why the process of making TV matters more than the finished product everyone obsesses over.

She breaks down what really happens behind the NDA-protected walls of reality TV, why everyone wants to know about the Housewives but nobody asks about the thousands of hours of footage it takes to make a 30-minute episode, and how she's built a career without ever feeling secure.

Hear Lisa get incredibly real about her side project, The Otherhood Collective, which tells stories about family, parenthood, and the paths that don't fit into society's neat little boxes. Plus, learn why her theme song is "Work Bitch" by Britney Spears and why that's actually perfect.
