How Did This Happen

Friends don’t normally meet while sleeping on the streets of New York City together, but that’s how this friendship began. Sammi & Heather are the definition of twin flames, meaning they’re quite literally the same person, but only one of them has almost accidentally canceled James Charles, gotten kicked out of Madison Square Garden, & snuck sex toys into a meet and greet. They sit down to share their wildest experiences in the music & influencer industries. Most of their stories start with “I probably shouldn’t even be saying this…” so it’s going to be a crazy episode to say the least.

It isn’t every day that you get the inside scoop on being a TikTok star, living in a content house, AND being on a TV show, but Jaden Barba truly does it all. He grew up dancing competitively in an environment similar to Dance Moms and started his own TV career in 2016 as a contestant on NBC’s World of Dance. That was only the beginning of his journey… he continued on to grow a large following on TikTok which landed him a spot in the content house, Clubhouse Next. Dance Moms and Content Houses have to be two of the most dramatic things to exist and Jaden spills ALL the tea on both.

HAPPY 2021!! Sammi's DMs have been flooded with questions about who she still edits YouTube videos for and who she doesn't, along with some other interesting questions, so what better way to kick off the new year than to answer all of them? In this mini life update episode, Sammi opens up about the toxicity she's leaving behind going into 2021, as well as what the adjustment to online school has been like while balancing it with a full time job in influencer marketing, multiple editing jobs, AND freelance projects. She's definitely living a double, or even triple life to say the least... pack it up Hannah Montana. But don't worry, next week will go back to the usual guest grind!

p.s.- she got a microphone :)

Jenna Wolf began as an assistant to Jordan Worona, having no idea what she was getting into, until one day she found herself at the wedding of Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul and had a true “how did this happen?” moment. On this episode, Sammi and Jenna discuss their similar college experiences, as well as how Jenna worked her way up in the digital talent management industry, and even take a look at what’s on Jenna’s phone because who has a more interesting phone than someone who works with influencers? No one!

Sammi sits down with her best friend, Mikayla Alcorn, on the first episode of How Did This Happen to talk about how this whirlwind of involvement in the music & entertainment industry began. Hear them share stories about their first festival experiences at 14, going backstage at Coachella, taking a private helicopter to LAX, and so much more that they wouldn’t expect to encounter, even in their wildest dreams.
