243. Kordell Beckham: Love Island Season 6 winner goes from $21/hr at an airport to millions, how he has navigated his unique career path, pursuing acting goals & carving his own lane This week, Jason is joined by reality TV personality, model, creator, and a rising name in his own right, Kordell Beckham! More than anything, he is carving out his own lane and bringing authentic energy to everything he touches. You may recognize the last name, Odell Beckham’s brother, but make no mistake, Kordell is writing his own story. He gained recognition in 2024 after joining season six of Love Island USA, where he and his partner Serena Page came out on top as winners of the season.  Kordell reflects on life after Love Island, from the biggest changes he’s experienced since reality TV to finding his own identity and giving back to his community. He shares how he went from working as a UPS ramp agent to chasing modeling and acting dreams, the process of getting cast on the show, and why Season 6 has been such a hit. He opens up about his love for Cheez-Its, pricing strategies with his team, why he’s not on the spin-off, and his vision for a future in scripted TV. Kordell also talks relationships—his connection with Serena, lessons from the past, and what makes a partnership work—plus the mentor who shaped his Love Island journey and more. Kordell reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
