Zach: I looked up your net worth because I was curious…you’re a millionaire. Let’s be real, you’re there.
Steph: I mean it’s not like I have millions in my bank account. I live pretty modestly. Not like these like influencers who are flying to Dubai and getting pooped on. I work a lot, literally from the minute I wake up, I am working, I am hustling because I also realized that there is an expiration date on this line of work.
I don’t want to do it forever, so I need to make sure I make my money now and set myself up for when I want to walk away from everything in like 3 years.
Zach: Did you ever think that this was going to explode like it did? When you were starting out doing reality TV, did you think that you would have this massive following and the job that you have?
Steph: Yeah, I always knew that I was going to be successful because I’ve always had the mindset, I will not accept defeat. I will never accept failure. I’m gonna do it until something clicks and until something works. I’m kind of like a throw spaghetti at the wall and just see what sticks kind of person.
And even if you’re trying something, and for the first few months or even years it’s not working, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you need to re-strategize, try different and new things. As this type of content creator, you have to keep pushing the envelope and you have to keep doing weirder shit.
