From SURVIVOR Alternate to the Main Cast, The Dark Side of Online Fame, and Why Your Story Is Worth Millions w/ Shauhin Davari

What happens when you play a character on national television and the internet decides to hate you for it? Shauhin Davari went on Survivor, got the villain edit, survived the online hate, quit law school, and built an entire coaching company around helping people find and use their authentic voice. In this episode of Clout Nine, we get into the real psychology behind online criticism, what Survivor actually teaches you about human behavior, how he turned trolls into fuel, and why the moment he stopped caring about what people thought online was the moment everything changed. If you have ever gone viral for the wrong reasons, felt like the internet decided who you were before you got to say anything, or just want to know how to walk into any room and own it, this one is for you.

Full-Time Cosplayer, Survived The Bachelor Twice & Rescues Wild Squirrels w/ Lisa Mancini

Lisa Mancini makes a living as a full-time cosplayer, building elaborate costumes from scratch and turning her creativity into a career on Patreon. She also raises pet squirrels, which sounds like a joke until you see them. Before cosplay became her full-time job, Lisa was a graphic designer who got laid off during COVID. That's when everything shifted. Then reality TV found her. The Bachelor Canada labeled her "Squirrel Girl" after she mentioned her squirrels once and producers ran with it. She entered the mansion in a mermaid costume and her job title was listed as "mermaid." She went on The Bachelor in Paradise Canada and got edited into the same caricature all over again. But cosplay was always the real story. From Fan Expo Canada to building a Bowser costume out of styrofoam to turning Patreon into sustainable income, Lisa breaks down what it actually takes to cosplay for a living, the reality of the cosplay community, and what happens when reality TV tries to overwrite your identity.
