Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFF

Vivian sat down with Cole Walliser to explore the surprisingly complex finances of creating those iconic slow-motion red carpet moments. Cole breaks down what directors actually earn from viral GlamBot videos, how he built a business around a single innovative camera technique, and why going viral doesn't automatically translate to getting paid. He answers the big questions about balancing creative vision with commercial viability, managing the feast-or-famine nature of freelance directing, what building wealth looks like and how being a filmmaker outside of Hollywood has shaped his approach to money and success. Cole also shares what it's really like working with the biggest names in entertainment, from Ariana Grande to Miley Cyrus, and why protecting his creative independence has been just as important as chasing the biggest paychecks.

Vivian is diving deep into the art of Black Friday shopping without the chaos. She breaks down what deals are actually worth it (spoiler: that "70% off" TV might cost you more in the long run), how retailers use psychological tricks to make you spend more, and why that doorbuster deal always seems to be sold out. Vivian dives into the controversial world of retail tactics, from fake discounts and manufactured urgency to the math behind "buy now, pay later" schemes, explaining why stores lose money on some items just to get you in the door and how they make it all back. Plus, she answers your burning questions about when to actually shop (hint: it might not be Friday), how to spot genuinely good deals versus marketing gimmicks, and whether Black Friday is actually the savings goldmine everyone makes it out to be.

Black Friday or Black Hole? Where Your Money Really Goes

Vivian sat down with Sophia Bush live at Tech Futures to dive deep into the money side of Hollywood stardom. Sophia breaks down what actors actually make from iconic TV shows (spoiler: those One Tree Hill paychecks weren't what you think), how residuals really work in the streaming era, and why that show you've binged 47 times barely pays the actors anymore. Sophia gets real about navigating Hollywood's pay gap, from her early days saying yes to everything to learning how to negotiate like a boss in an industry that doesn't want women asking for more. Plus, she reveals how she's built serious wealth beyond acting through podcasting, directing, producing, and becoming a GP at a VC fund, explaining why diversifying her income was the smartest financial move she ever made. She answers the big questions about balancing activism with getting paid, preparing for Hollywood's feast-or-famine cycles, what retirement looks like when you're an actor, and how coming out changed the way she thinks about money and relationships.
