This week, Jason is joined by reality TV personality, activist, entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, former professional athlete, producer, and podcast host Colton Brown Underwood!
Many may know Colton from his time spent with Bachelor Nation having been a contestant on the Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and being the leading man on season 23 of the Bachelor. In 2021, years after his time as The Bachelor, Colton shared with the world that he was gay and showcased his trials and tribulations through his own Netflix series “Coming Out Colton.” In the years since coming out publicly, he met and married his now husband Jordan and the two of them embarked on a journey of becoming parents. He is an advocate for the LGBTQIA community, a philanthropist, and has leveraged his success to give back to matters that have impacted him, his community, and loved ones though the Legacy Foundation.
Colton gives insight to what the payment looked like as a professional athlete, what injury ended his football career, what his attitude was going into The Bachelorette, how Bachelor Nation builds beasts, how he was able to work around the two suitcase rule, how an energy healer explained his constant state of flight, and what loopholes he took advantage of during filming. Colton also reveals his best advice for leveraging your authentic self, which deal he was most frustrated with, overcoming his rock bottom moment, how Coming Out Colton came to be and it being the push he needed, his ability for storytelling, and behind the scenes of his fertility journey. Since when has he been independent financially? Which contract would he never sign again? What is his goal with his production company?
Colton reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
