Today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve” is a combination of astrology and marketing as we dive into the rise of Chappell Roan. Her fame was a slow burn until February of this year when she opened for Olivia Rodrigo on the GUTS tour and momentum picked up. This was a few weeks after Pluto shifted into Aquarius.
Pluto went back into Capricorn in September of this year and will remain there until November 18th, 2024. It will leave Capricorn for the last time in our lifetimes and go back into Aquarius for the next 18 years.
What does Chappell Roan’s rise during the Pluto in Aquarius sneak peak earlier this year signify to us about how fame and celebrity culture might shift as the mysterious planet moves into the sign of community and innovation?

In today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe”, we are talking about the reason you should NOT be watching creators and brands most close to you in your niche. Even if you don’t mean to copy them, it could happen even subconsciously. Instead, here are some methods you can use to find your own lane when posting on oversaturated apps like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and podcasting.
At the end of the episode, I dive into my thoughts on two pop culture topics, which are below:
The “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” on Hulu
The VMA’s: Katy Perry, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan + Addison Rae

Hi, coconuts! Today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe” is all about what I like to call “The Paradox of Choice”. This is the idea that customers are more likely to make a purchase of a product when they are presented with less variations of said product.
This episode was inspired by the marketing podcast, “Nudge”, and their episode titiled: “Why too much choice is a bad thing”. Listen to that episode here and show them some love:
We will be discussing the power of repetition when it comes to brands like In-N-Out, Head & Shoulders, McDonalds and more. Then for the paid portion of the podcast, we will be applying these findings to the growth trajectory of some of the most viral creators on TikTok & one up-and-coming music artist.

In today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe”, we will be discussing two great examples of why I always say, “all press is NOT good press”. One of the biggest stories in pop culture right now is about the premiere of “It Ends With Us”. This was a book turned movie from author Colleen Hoover. Director and actor Justin Baldoni bought the rights to make the movie in 2019 and hired Blake Lively to play the lead, Lily Bloom. All seemed to be going well until fans noticed that a large portion of the cast unfollowed Baldoni on socials ahead of the premiere and there seems to be tension during the press tour. Despite this potential drama, the movie brought in $50 million dollars in it’s opening weekend at the box office – doubling it’s budget of $25 million.
Could the Ryan Reynolds “Deadpool” takeover of the “It Ends With Us” press run have been a smart move, despite fans claiming that it took away from the serious undertones of the movie? Let me know your thoughts.
And in the extended episode for paid subscribers, we discuss the developing stories around Mr. Beast from employees having inappropriate relations with minors (allegedly) to his Prime Video show “Beast Games” having issues surrounding the safety of contestants on set. Does this mark the end of the “Mr. Beast” era of YouTube which was all about extreme challenges and putting people in extreme situations for a chance at some money?
The Mr. Beast story is still developing so I might have to do a separate deep dive in a few weeks, if more information comes out.

Did you know that season 6 of “Love Island USA” had almost the same amount of minutes streamed as MAX’s “House of the Dragons” Season 2? How did a show with .025% of the budget as one of televisions favorite dramas compete in viewership?
We talk about that in today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe”. What was the tipping point that made a dying show peak to the number 1 spot in it’s sixth, and potentially final, season? Was it the addition of host Ariana Madix from “Vanderpump Rules”? Was it the chemistry of the cast? Was it luck?
This episode is inspired by an article I read in Forbes by Jamie Gutfreund titled, “Thinking Like A Creator Can Help Brands Build Trust. Here’s Why”. In this article, the veteran marketing strategist and long-time talent manager breaks down the virality of being authentic vs forcing it. She uses Alix Earle and “Love Island USA” season 6 as two case studies on how to do “authenticity” correctly.

In today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve w Coco Mocoe”, we will be talking about what comes next for Alex Cooper and “Call Her Daddy” as her 3-year, $60 million deal with Spotify comes to a close. In 2023, she launched the “Unwell Network” and signed Alix Earle, Madeline Argy and Harry Jowsey to her new podcast network. Dave Portnoy, himself, has called her new network a “mini Barstool Sports”. Is Alex Cooper trying to create the sorority house of the internet?
We will also react to some of her best, and worst, interviews on “Call Her Daddy”. 3-years into her record-breaking contract with Spotify, has Alex Cooper gotten better at celebrity interviews or has she gotten worse?
And lastly, we will talk about what comes next for Alex Cooper and why I think she is going to position herself as the Tyra Banks or RuPaul of the podcasting world.

Did you know that on TikTok (and almost all social platforms) there is a thing called “warming”? This is (allegedly) where employees at an app will find a creator or account that they like and they will “heat them up” in the algorithm. There is also an alleged button where they can “cool down” an account or have it slow down in the algorithm if they do something they deem unacceptable or they want a trend to die down on the platform. This has never been confirmed by TikTok but it was discussed in a Forbes article from 2023 titled, “TikTok has a secret button to make anything go viral”.
In the article, Forbes spoke to six current and former employees of TikTok and reviewed internal documents. The article states that some employees can hand pick creators or specific videos and “supercharge” their distribution on the FYP.
While this might sound unfair, and in some ways it is. One employee was thought to have violated company policy when they heated their spouses account on the FYP. But this is a common practice for large platforms. One reason for “heating” is when the platform wants users to begin using a particular feature on the app so they will hand pick and promote creators who are early adopters and leaning into the feature when everyone else is afraid to.
In today’s episode, I am going to talk about my theories about how the TikTok algorithm is shifting right now using the Brooke Schofield vs. Clinton Kane viral storytime as a great case study. Why did TikTok push out the story now vs when it was told on the Canceled Podcast with Tana Mongeau or the Zach Sang podcast multiple times? I have a few theories.

In this episode of ‘Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe’, we talk about the power of association and anti-branding by studying the roll-out of Charli XCX’s highly acclaimed “brat” album. Not only is the music great, but the album branding matches the honesty and brutalism of the hyperpop album. And now, her fans are declaring 2024 a "brat summer”. Plus, how you can get your audience to think of you daily by associating your content with something they do repeatedly.
We will be discussing the power of associating yourself with a word like “summer” and why the music industry is obsessed with this specific word. From Meg Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer” to Charli XCX’s “brat summer”. Plus, how you can get your audience to think of you daily by associating your content with something they do repeatedly in their routine.

CNN: "House passes bill that could lead to US ban of TikTok"
Today's episode of #AheadOfTheCurve with Coco Mocoe is all about what makes content or trends go viral, and most importantly become memorable, according to "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. The book was written in 2000 but I apply his brilliant concepts to how to go viral on TikTok, YouTube and more in 2024 and beyond.
In this episode, we discuss 3 of my major takeaways after reading the book:
Let me know in the reviews what book I should read next as part of our new marketing book club! I will dedicate a new episode of this podcast anytime I finish reading an interesting book that I think you will enjoy.

Today we are talking about how to break out of a shadowban on TikTok, how to find a new niche when feeling stale about your content and what is changing about TikTok's algorithm (Reesa Teesa's 10 minute series takes over!)
You can listen to my episode about the success of Reesa Teesa and her "Who the F Did I Marry?" series here
Email: cocomocoe@whalartalent.com
Reesa Teesa has taken over the FYP with her storytime, "Who the F Did I Marry?" (@reesamteesa on TikTok). She grew from 100k followers to 600k overnight. Then jumped to 700k+ while I was at the gym! I have not seen growth this fast since Khaby Lame, Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae. After writing the script and going to bed, I woke up to Reesa having over 1 million followers! It has been so long since a new creator has reminded me of the magic of this app. Reesa is not following trends or viral hooks. Instead she is using the 10-minute feature and with UMG pulling their music off the app, I wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm is seeking out longer storytellers, like Reesa, to push out instead of trending audios. "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3UN5D7L In this episode, I also discuss Billie Eilish vs. TikTokers at the "People's Choice Awards" and why I...kind of agreed with her?

Summary of Episode:
The first Super Bowl was hosted in 1967 and the average cost of a commercial was between $35.000 and $40,000 according to Sportico.
This year more than ever, the NFL had their eyes set on a female audience. This came with the addition of player’s girlfriends in the stands like Alix Earle, Taylor Swift and Hailee Seinfield. Alix Earle was even a presenter at the NFL Honors ceremony in Vegas a few days ahead of the superbowl and her boyfriend is Miami Dolphin’s wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
While in Vegas this week, there was chatter that the NFL expected this to be the most watched Super Bowl in history. Thanks to the female fans tuning in for a look at Taylor Swift. And boy was there a show! She had Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey in her box and there was even betting sites that had entire bets based around how many times the camera would pan to her during the game.
There was also a 49’ers wife who made headlines, Krysten You-Sh-Check. Wife of full back Kyle You-Sh-Check. She went viral online for creating custom pieces to wear to games in support of Kyle. In fact, she was propositioned by Brittany Mahomes to create a look for her and she sent Brittany a jacket for Taylor Swift, as well. Stressing that it was no pressure. If Taylor wanted to wear it then great.
Taylor showed up to one of the Kansas City play-off games in the jacket and the story went viral. Because of the exposure from this moment, she turned this into a licensing deal with the NFL (according to USA Today). She inked the first women-led licensing deal with the NFL which means she can sell merch using their team logos. She told Today that this has been in the works for years but the exposure of Taylor Swift wearing one of her creations catapulted her.
A puffer vest that she is auctioning for the National Breast Cancer Foundation currently has a bid of $52,000+.
This also leads us to the shift towards female-focused advertising at the super bowl this year. It typically caters to men or tows an even line. But this year, they knew the Swift fans were watching.
The first commercial to hit the screen was for the upcoming Wicked movie featuring Ariana Grande. I could be mistaken but you don’t often see movie trailers as commercials at the Superbowl. Especially one for a movie coming out almost a year later and one that is a musical adaptation with two female leads.
This was also the first year that two beauty brands went toe-to-toe. E.l.f.and NYX. Both very different commercials. I am fascinated at Elf’s aggressive approach to marketing the last year or so. They had a superbowl spot last year with Jennifer Coolidge. They built a world in Roblox and were all over the new Mean Girls movie. In a way that was off-putting, in my opinion. I love elf but it was the first time I felt an adverse reaction to them. Their commercial featured a Judge Judy bit.
The NYX commercial was simpler and featured Cardi B. It was to promote their duck lips plumper. At the end, it showed a QR code and the longer commercial was much more NSFW. I actually liked the ad. It felt like a secret treat for those who got to the QR code quick enough.
Another commercial that I loved was with Beyonce for Verizon. At the end of it, she hinted at new music. A few moments later, she dropped two new country singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carraiges". There is a rise of “off-camera” experiences when it comes to the best superbowl ads. People know that other’s are watching the superbowl on their phones

Want to be an influencer or creator in 2024? Want to make TikTok or YouTube your full-time job? Well...get ready for lots of hate! Unfortunately it is part of the job. But that doesn't mean it should stop you. Here is how I have learned to grow self-confidence even at times when I fall into the trap of reading awful things people are saying. It happens to everyone online so it is not personal!

Is relatability over-rated? As Alix Earle faces some scrutiny over a vomit dress in the closet, it seems that audiences are starting to grow weary of the over-relatable. But what will come next? Creators like Jackie Aina and Monet McMichael have grown cult-like followings in the beauty space for creating high-quality content. Is this going to be one way the pendulum swings away from what was trendy the last few years? Let's discuss!
Welcome to the season finale of #AheadOfTheCurve with Coco Mocoe! Today's episode is part 2 with top beauty brand strategist and creator, Koosha Nouri.
What will be the next big trend on TikTok and beyond in 2024? High-def content. We see this growing on beauty tok with creators like Monet McMichael. But where does it go back to? One of the top creators in the beauty space -- Jackie Aina. Will beauty filter fatigue lead to the renaissance of high def, 4k videos on social media?

The Streamy's 2023 aired last night and featured nominees like H3 podcast, Alix Earle, Brittany Broski, Logan Paul and more. Here are my thoughts on what it foreshadows about the creator space and why I think the Streamy's will eventually hit a more prestigious level - once they have this one ingredient.
I also talk about the controversy surrounding Taylor Swift impersonator, Ashley Leechin (noitsashley13) who pulled a prank recently by pretending to be Taylor Swift and leading to a mob. Article here.
I also touch on the Dillon Danis controversy with Logan Paul. He has attempted to shame Paul's fiance, Nina Agdal, in a smear campaign ahead of their boxing match. Article here.

UPDATE: A day after this episode went up, a video surfaced online of Drew Barrymore's lifelong stalker rushing the stage with her and Renee Rapp at an event. Read more about the story here.
Fame is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a person.
You may have seen videos of fans swarming a small restaurant in New Jersey that Taylor Swift was spotted inside of. Here is why that normalizes the stalking behavior to those with the worst of intentions. Plus the shifts in culture and legislation that I hope happens to protect these people from the worst of the stalkers.
Plus we talk about celebrities who have tragically died because of fame; from John Lennon to Princess Diana to Selena and more.
Here is the TikTok that I referenced that sparked this discussion.
Here is an article about the fans who showed up to stalk Taylor Swift outside of Jack Antonoff's wedding rehearsal in New Jersey.

Bethenny Frankel has been speaking out against the treatment of reality stars recently and says she was inspired by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While there was some initial pushback, it seems that she is gaining momentum. SAG-AFTRA publicly expressed support to Bethenny and reality stars fight to unionize against networks like Netflix, NBC Bravo and more.
I recently talked about the treatment and exploitation of reality stars on an episode of #ShareYourScreen with Nicky Reardon. You can watch the slideshow, deep dive here. You can also listen to Share Your Screen wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
Momentum has been growing for reality stars and their fight for better treatment during and after filming. This comes after former 'Love is Blind' star, Nick Thompson, filed a lawsuit against Netflix last year and launched U.C.A.N. (Unscripted Cast Advocacy Network). There seem to be many parallels with how reality stars are treated across multiple networks - hinting at an institutional problem that needs change.

Thank you so much for listening to, rating and sharing the podcast! Send it to all your marketing friends.
In today's episode, we react to these topics from a marketing perspective. Everything is based on opinion.
1. BookTok Drama (5:05)
InTheKnow posted a great article recapping all of the booktok drama that went down this last week, if you want to read the full article. In short, a TikToker by the name of Kierra Lewis began fixating on hockey players after reading the smut novel 'Pucking Around' by Emily Rath.
She began posting videos of real-life hockey players, one of which was Alex Wennberg. The videos became increasingly sexual and the Seattle Kraken hockey team even flew her out to the Stanley Cup. There she posted vulgar videos of players which could be seen as sexual harassment, in my opinion. TikToker, @mynameismarines, posted now deleted videos from Kierra Lewis in which Lewis talked about players strokes, her holes, and filmed hockey players without their consent during stretches with sexual commentary over the videos.
Wennberg's wife eventually spoke out against the harassment that her husband and other players faced as a result of Lewis' videos. Seattle Kraken unfollowed Lewis and deleted all their booktok videos. Lewis claimed that the team used booktok for clout, insinuating that players should be okay with her sexually suggestive videos because it gave them 'fame'.
This is all based on my own opinion of the situation. Let me know what your thoughts are.
2. Kai Cenat Riot (33:00)
Twitch Streamer, Kai Cenat, tried to hold a PS5 giveaway in NYC last Friday and it quickly turned into a riot. The situation led to legal ramifications for Kai and his team. He was arrested and released Saturday morning but has to go to court. The charges are 'inciting a riot' among other things.
Here are my thoughts on why live-streamers hold a specific type of fame and can turn out an audience that is sometimes bigger than A-List, 'mainstream' stars.
The riot felt like Tanacon 2.0 but somehow even worse. Here is an article by AP recapping the event.
3. Cardi B Microphone (51:00)
Cardi B was recently performing in Vegas and threw her microphone at an audience member who splashed water on her. Where the story sparked my interest was TMZ reported that the microphone was being listed on eBay and is currently going for $99,900. The bids end tomorrow (Tuesday).
But in my opinion, the microphone has yet to be verified. There are no identifiable features on the eBay listing. There are other listings on eBay claiming to be the same exact microphone. How do we know it is legit?

Just a few years ago, Barbie was seen as a polarizing and sometimes hated figure - as documented in the 2018 documentary "Tiny Shoulder". Fast forward to 2023, Barbie could be argued as one of the most universally loved brands in the lead up to the release of the movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
But how did Mattel do it? To understand the branding of Barbie, we must first dive into her history. Did you know that the founder of Barbie, Ruth Handler, created the doll because she felt like only giving young girls baby dolls indoctrinated them into motherhood?
There is a great article about Ruth Handler, the mother of Barbie, on Tablet Magazine (read here)
You can watch "Tiny Shoulders" on Hulu.
This episode is a deep dive into Mattel and the polarizing history of Barbie in the lead up to the 2023 movie. The reason I do not spend much time discussing the Barbie movie is because I stand with the SAG-AFTRA & WGA strike. This is more about the brand behind the doll, Barbie, and is not to be mistaken as a promotional piece of content for the movie.

Are people growing tired of short-form videos, like TikToks and Reels? That is a loaded question with no right or wrong answer. But I do predict that we are about to see a resurgence of YouTubers and long-form media, like podcasting, as people seek out more substance than 10 second videos.
Today I got to speak to Michael Lindsay and Matthew Schueller (@michaelandmatt) who grew their platform on YouTube and are now launching a podcast about their surrogacy and their fatherhood journey as a same-sex couple. You can listen to new episodes of 'Who's Your Daddy?' every Thursday!

“The Idol” recently premiered on HBO Max featuring Lily Rose-Depp, The Weeknd, Jennie Kim and more. It is created by Sam Levinson who also created “Euphoria” and has been hit hard by critics, at one point having 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I personally liked the first episode and I am interested to see more. Here is an article from Hollywood Reporter on Lily Rose-Depp's defense of the show.
I talk to Jasmine Darya in this episode about the intersection of celebrities and fashion. And how the use fashion as a tool to elevate their image. We compare the old money approach of Sofia Richie vs the new age, somewhat exploitative approach of Lily Rose Depp on ‘The Idol’.

Today’s episode is with media & branding expert @culturework who I found after her coverage of the Tarte F1 trip debacle that took over the FYP recently. Here is an article by Refinery29 that summarizes what happened, for extra reference.
Her insights were super valuable and I wanted to dive deeper with her to highlight the often unfair treatment of POC creators - not just by algorithms but by brands, as well.
We also discuss the ‘Horses’ restaurant drama that started in West Hollywood and took over the internet. In this, we dive into the ethics of reporting on often gory crimes and where to draw the line when discussing true crime.
Everything in this podcast is our opinion based on the public videos shared by the discussed party. Everything is alleged.

Have you ever watched Shark Tank and wondered about the behind-the-scene details or what happens to the contestants after they strike a deal with a shark? Today's episode is with Shirah Benarde (@shirahbenarde). She and her brother founded the anti-roofie scrunchie brand, NightCapIt (@nightcapit). They had one of the fastest deals in Shark Tank history with Lori Griener.
Here is the NightCap site if you want to purchase protection for your drinks!
Here is a viral clip from their episode of Shark Tank!
We talk about how she made $40k from TikTok alone in the 6 weeks leading up to their pitch on Shark Tank. We talk about her Gen-Z focused branding strategy (community over perfection) and how she grew her brand to almost 500k on TikTok at the time of posting this episode. And we talk about her plans to branch the company out in to the music and college space.
This was such a fun interview and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting with Shirah!

Coachella 2023 was one of the most dramatic years the festival has ever seen, in the worst way possible. And this time it wasn't the influencers who got the most hate; but surprisingly, one of the most anticipated headliners in Coachella history.
In this episode, we talk about Frank Ocean's disappointing performance (or lack thereof) as the Sunday headliner. What exactly went wrong and the advice I would give him on repairing his image from a marketing standpoint. Is Frank Ocean an example of the "rubber band" theory in marketing going too far?
Variety magazine wrote an in-depth article about what went wrong with Frank Ocean's Coachella performance, which you can find here.

Today's episode is with one of TikTok's favorite vloggers, Timm Chiusano (@timmchiusano). He has been compared to one of the greatest vloggers and storytellers of all time, Casey Neistat. We talk about his rise on the app, his background working in media and winning an Emmy while he was at ESPN, his process for creating his most viral vlogs, his thoughts on the future of influencer brand collabs and more.
My favorite thing about Timm is his ability to remain curious. So often, people think they must have a video planned out or educate in every second in order to provide value. But Timm's videos act as a reminder that sometimes people just want companionship and don't go on social media to be lectured at. Usually, that is what they are escaping by opening their phones.

Today we sit down with a 10-year veteran creator, JZ Eats. I wanted to chat with her because she represents the one niche of creator that is one of the most lucrative niches on the internet - even the biggest celebrities, like Selena Gomez and Paris Hilton, have dipped their toes in.
And that would be food creators! Whether it is on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Pinterest - they remain some of the highest paid and highest engaged niche out of all creator-types. We dissect why that is in this episode.

Gwyneth Paltrow has become the most famous "almond mom" with her brand 'Goop' and her odd eating habits. But when it seemed like tides were turning against her, she began a trial for a ski accident in Utah. The trial has made her more relatable than ever, and seemingly by "accident". For more information on the trial, you can read this BuzzFeedNews article here.
Shannon (aka FluentlyForward) and I talk about the dichotomy of Gwyneth Paltrow. What we can learn from a celebrity who doesn't try to be 'relatable' but rather leans into how out of touch she is.
We also talk about this marketing approach in relation to other trending celebrities like Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, Ellen DeGeneres and more. Everything is our opinions and all alleged.

Hi guys, Coco Mocoe here. Today's episode is all about the potential TikTok ban in the U.S. and the different ways this scenario could play out if it comes to fruition. For more context on the TikTok ban, read this CNBC article: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tiktok-ban-whats-next-company-purchase/ Here is an up-to-date article about the TikTok CEO testifying before congress: https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/23/tech/tiktok-ceo-hearing/index.htmlSome topics covered in this episode: Why the TikTok ban might be xenophobic Why the TikTok ban could officially mark the end of Instagram, Facebook and Meta, as well Is history repeating itself like how Vine ended then we saw some creators jump to YouTube What platform could replace TikTok in it's absense? What creators will come out on top if the ban goes through? How can you best prepare and adapt? Let me know your thoughts on the TikTok ban on my recent TikTok about the topic. My goal is to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. New episodes every Monday morning.

Hi guys! Today's episode is about two topics that are hitting close to home. The Vanderpump Rules cast drama with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix and Raquel Leviss. I wanted to play hypothetical and give my advice on the few ways that they can save their reputations, even though it would be a tough one. Plus, my perspective on why this cheating scandal rocked the world in a way that we don't even see with professional musicians, athletes, etc... There is one common denominator with Tom Sandoval and Ned Fulmer from Try Guys. Plus, I want to talk about the stray bullets I got on TikTok recently. A few TikTokers, who I have watched and enjoyed, decided to put me and a few others down to make a point about why views are so important on TikTok. I have worked on this app for years and I know that views come in hills and valleys -- and that's okay! But what is not okay is looking at your followers like currency and putting people down to sell a course. Putting down other creators who are open enough to put their ideas out there should never be a means to an end. As a creator, I am vulnerable enough to put my thoughts and ideas out there -- even when they aren't getting millions of views. And that is okay! We have to give our favorite creators grace to try new things, to grow and to fail in the process -- or else their viral content will be stale in 6 months.

Have you ever wondered how people get started, and excel, in the entertainment and media industry? It sometimes can seem like the hardest industry to crack without prior experience or connections.
Well, today we talk to former VICE & MSNBC journalist and founder of Juniper Media, Madeline Moitozo, on her unconventional path into the industry. From allowing herself to be an intern again at 28 to running campaigns for the biggest companies in the world -- Madeline shares it all.
We talk about imposter syndrome, what she looks for when hiring new people for her media company, favorite campaigns she has worked on, and more.

You may have seen the viral TikTok of @shelbjeanne's boss calling her while she is skiing. Not only did the video get 11 million views but it also led to TikTok viewers selling out the sunglasses she was wearing from her small business and then some.
We talk about what it is like to be a small business owner on TikTok while working part-time, how a breakup led to this moment, her drive to create a community for women in action sports with her brand and what it means to be a part of the 'secret ninja society'.

Selena Gomez deletes social media after "feud" with Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber on TikTok. When does stan culture take drama and blow it out of proportion? What about TikTok, compared to other platforms, makes the drama even worse because of the nature of the algorithm? Let's talk about it from a media literacy lens and what it means for women in media.

Welcome our first guest, CreepTime, to the "Ahead of the Curve Podcast".

On todays episode, we take on a bit of a deeper topic than the usual pop culture and marketing. We talk about the potential trauma of going viral online. From the privacy that can be lost when you are the victim of a horrendous crime to the online harassment that people face when people see your videos. It seems no one is safe.
I still believe the internet is 90% good and can change your life for the better. But I also think it is my responsibility to warn others of the down side.
Some cases that seemed to have trickled into exploitation, when it comes to the harm of true crime, are the "Idaho Four" and Gabby Petito. At what point does overconsumption of a case no longer help in raising awareness but rather becomes re-traumatizating for anyone close to the victims?
Another extension of the harm of the internet was the New Jersey teen who committed suicide after being bullied online for a video of her getting hurt by fellow classmates. Suicides in U.S. for people aged 13-24 increased by 7% in 2021 (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). How much of the internet plays a role in that?
Thank you so much for listening!
How did a show, that was once on top of the world, crumble so fast? Netflix's hit show "Cheer" featured a competitive collegiate team out of Navarro, Texas. The cast won over millions of hearts. Jerry Harris was a rep for the "Ellen Degeneres Show" at red carpets and the cast had accumulated millions of followers online. But did Netflix bite off more than they could chew when airing the show? And where do they go from here? As of recently, La'Darius Marshall has called out Gabi Butler for black face and other things. And her response is a lesson in what not to do during a P.R. crisis. Where do they go from here? Will the lucrative "Cheer" franchise continue on Netflix or is the show officially cursed?

Did Mikayla Nogueira use false lashes when promoting the new L'Oreal mascara? If so, it's not looking good and the beauty community is mad.

the astrology of right now:
we are leaving a time of great imagination and dreams. while the pisces conjunction was once-in-many-lifetimes, it may have also felt detached. like swimming but your feet can't find the bottom of the pool.
jupiter and neptune were at home in pisces and the dreamy energy was amplified but it may have felt like you were floating with no real direction.
we are entering taurus season which will bring grounded energy to the detached feeling of the pisces conjunction. instead of simply dreaming, you will have more opportunities to see the results of your wishes. things will feel in reach, for the first time in a long time.

While this energy will be amplified in mid-April with a Neptune and Jupiter conjunction in Pisces, there will be some transits to ground us FINALLY!

Do you keep seeing repeated numbers but have no idea what it all means? There is no right or wrong answer for how to interpret these, but here is a breakdown of angel numbers according to astrology. Synchronicities are a coincidence that seem unlikely but can give you insight into a decision or confirmation you are on the right path. It can not be something that falls under confirmation bias or something that you are looking for that would be obvious to come across. It must be a sign that is out of the ordinary for your typical circumstances. Angel Numbers Covered:

Did you know that each day of the week is ruled by a specific planet? This astrological concept goes way back and the root word of a few days of the week have a direct correlation to their planetary ruler. For example, Saturn and Saturday.
Understanding the planetary rulers of each day of the week can help you become a better manifestor, have a better understanding of the patterns in your life and better plan out each week ahead.
In this episode I go over each day of the week, explain its powers based on its planetary ruler, give you ideas of what to do on each day and tell a few stories about times that this concept helped me manifest big things.

If things felt off with romance and communication, it may be because both Venus and Mercury were retrograde. However, both planets go direct the first week of February (1/29 + 2/3) which means things will feel like they flow much easier again. And with an Aquarius new moon, this is the perfect time to set the tone for the future you. February will be a magical month.

You can book a reading from me on cameo: https://www.cameo.com/cocomocoe 1:00 - Why do you read tarot? This is the most important question to ask yourself before picking up a tarot deck. For me, I do it because it gives people a safe space to feel seen and heard and get unbiased advice through the cards. So often, conversations are just two people talking over each other - but the practice of tarot forces you to slow down and give the person you are reading your undivided attention and emotional energy. This can be a very powerful thing! 3:20 - Who can read tarot? ANYONE! You do not need to be a witch or a psychic to pick up a tarot deck. Tarot began as a card game and has since grown into a way to advice others. There is no reason to gate keep. I have heard people say that you can not get a tarot deck unless someone else gifts it to you which is false! Do what makes you happy - including tarot. 6:40 - How to read tarot? First, you must find a tarot deck that comes with an instruction book. This book will help you understand that cards as you begin to learn. My first and favorite deck (https://amzn.to/3fcJqKa) came with a booklet that taught me the meaning of the cards along with their reversals. Not everyone reads reversals but it is nice to have that information, in case you do. Make sure you do not get a collectors tarot deck that does not have all of the cards. The deck you get should say '78 tarot cards + book' 12:53 - Major Arcana These are the cards that have a higher, divine meaning. They will not have a number or suit before them. 13:10 - Minor Arcana These cards represent the factors that the person can control. They will have a number or suit in front of them. - Cups = Water Signs. Emotions. Relations. - Swords = Air Signs. Intellect. Communication. Battle. - Wands = Fire Signs. Passion. Energy. - Pentacles = Earth Signs. Material Possessions. School. Career. Most importantly, as a tarot reader it is your job to translate the cards and tell a story then allow space for the person to decide what makes sense for them. It is not your job to predict or change the future. One trick I like to do is give the person a symbol to look for according to what is on the cards as a way to give them further confirmation this message is for them.
