Jason Tartick is opening up about his professional success away from Bachelor Nation.
On the Monday, January 27, episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast, Tartick, 36, claimed his total podcast revenue in 2024 was “around $400,000,” which he said was a 12 percent increase from the previous year.
“Podcasting is just a platform that people use their voice,” Tartick shared with cohost David Arduin. “I think the end game is just continuing to use my voice.”
The former Bachelorette star also explained that his business-focused podcast has allowed him the opportunity to team up with other brands and make additional revenue through various platforms.
When asked to share the main return on investment (ROI) from his podcast, Tartick explained that it wasn’t all about the ads.
“The people that come on, the network and then the deals that come are because I have a top 30 biz podcast,” he said. “We got a great Capital One deal and that was from the book and the business podcast because that’s part of my brand right now.”
In simpler terms, Tartick explained that the podcast is “a tool that creates a brand that allows for other opportunities.”
The Talk Money To Me author went on to share that he hopes he will still be podcasting five years from now. In addition to hosting more live shows, he also hopes he will have the opportunity to interview more talent, like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, reality television star Spencer Pratt and fellow podcast host Hannah Berner.
Away from his podcast, Tartick remains hard at work on the Rewired Talent Agency. Specializing in influencer management and brand representation, the company continues to grow financially with Tartick serving as the managing partner.
“We more than tripled [our] revenue,” Tartick shared. “Agency is an eight-figure business now. We grew significantly. …You asked about my end game for podcasting. My dream would be to build a studio and then build an actual network and then exit work with the agency.”
Tartick’s latest podcast, however, wasn’t all business. During the episode, the reality star also opened up about his recent breakup from Kat Stickler.
When the pair called it quits in October 2024, the former Bachelorette contestant tried to keep details of the breakup private. Now, he’s ready to share a glimpse into how difficult the split really was.
“It was very real. It happened quick, it happened fast,” Tartick said. “It was unexpected and that was really, really hard.”
He also described the month “just before and after” the separation as “one of the hardest” of his life.
As he explained, “It was so abrupt and it was so unexpected.”
