About this episode
This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, lawyer, author, podcast host, and one of Bravo’s fan favorites from its hit reality show, Southern Charm, Craig Conover!

Craig reigns as the pillow magnate of Charleston and beyond after starting his own sewing and southern lifestyle brand, which has been well documented on the show. His business has become a huge success via eCommerce and his brick and mortar location in Charleston. In addition to all of his business success, Craig continues his career in law, hosts a podcast, wrote a book, and continuously grows his brand on social media with his professional life. 

Craig gives insight on how he manages all of his endeavors, which Real World contestant he connected with when he was asked to be on Southern Charm, why it took him an extra year to be sworn in after passing the bar,  which type of attorney he thinks is the safest option, how Bravo works with his business and how it ties into the show, and how he got out of his own way. 

Craig also reveals how the company was originally operating, the first big day for Sewing Down South which prompted the need for inventory, how he has broken the traditional business rules with partnering with Jerry and Amanda, the correlation between when the show is on air and store sales, how law provided an incredible fallback, his first scripted film experience, and his approach to influencing and investing.

How does he keep his days organized? Why did he go to law school? What impact does the show have on his business? What other reality show would he do?

Craig  reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
