How the desire to share life’s realities as women in dating, sex, and more turned into a real growing business as podcasters with Girls Gotta Eat…
Ashley Hesseltine (standup comedian, writer, and founder of @brosbeingbasic + @fashiondads_) and Rayna Greenberg (writer, photographer, founder of @onehungryjew) host the popular podcast “Girls Gotta Eat”, with millions of downloads. While much has changed since then, in this 2018 sit-down with Marc they shared why they started the podcast, how it has developed to such hit, why they integrated live shows so early in the journey, why they never expected the show to take on a life of its own, thinking about the podcast as a real startup business, their then-impending live show tour, and much more.
