261. Remi Bader: From being fired twice to powerhouse creator, how she built her career on unfiltered honesty, pursing her passion in fashion, and staying true to who she is

Trading Secrets

This week, Jason is joined by content creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most authentic and impactful voices in fashion, Remi Bader!
From her viral realistic hauls that changed how millions think about clothing to launching her own size inclusive fashion line Edited by Remi Bader at Sam’s Club, she has proven the power of authenticity and advocacy. Her collection was so successful, it expanded from a hundred stores to 200 and has continued that mission by building her own brand Fangirl. Remy has redefined what it means to merge influence with impact, showing how social media power can spark lasting change in the fashion industry.
Remi Bader dives into the unconventional path that led her from PR and marketing to becoming one of the most recognizable names in fashion and content creation. She opens up about getting fired early in her career, why she initially thought fashion wasn’t her space, and how creating videos during one of her lowest points unexpectedly launched her online success. Remi shares the full-circle moment of landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, how she spent all her early income on Uber and food delivery, and her resistance to being labeled an influencer. She details how UTA convinced her to go full-time into content creation, her days working as a fit model, and the whirlwind of balancing viral fame with mental health. Remi reflects on building her career completely on her own, the importance of never burning bridges, and how LinkedIn played a surprising role in her growth. She also gets candid about her collaboration with her dad (and why she’ll never do business with family again), staying true to her values regardless of body size, prioritizing health, setting boundaries, and the story behind her brand, Fangirl.
Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
