    The DRAMA Was REAL! Netflix's Selling the OC Star Alexandra Rose's $20M Sale Didn't Make MONEY?!

    "The drama with me and the other cast members was all real. None of it was made up." But production still had their own agenda. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Alexandra Rose is a former Selling the OC cast member, luxury realtor still at the Oppenheim Group, and a proud new mom to a baby boy who just discovered ice cream. She sat down at my Laguna Beach home (the same house Netflix filmed at during the show) and told me everything. Her $20 million sale on the very first episode. How Netflix cut the budget and replaced the original cast with cheaper newcomers. How she barely broke even after paying for hair, makeup, and wardrobe (she resold her Dolce Gabbana dresses on The RealReal). Why clients take her more seriously now that the cameras stopped. The real story behind the 45-minute argument with Jarvis in my courtyard that got edited down to 30 seconds. What Google and ChatGPT actually say about her (we read it live). And how she sold a $15 million house while nine months pregnant after a company tried to push her out. But the part that changed me was her childhood. Alexandra was in and out of foster care from ages one to four. Her biological parents were heavy drug addicts. She was taken away in the back of a police car at three years old. She was adopted with her brother, then two more siblings from the same biological mom. Her adoptive dad was found dead in his car on Christmas Day 2003. Her mom, a single mother of four adopted children, sold the house and moved them to Grand Prairie, Texas, where she bought a five-bedroom home for $140,000 and gave them a better life. Alexandra doesn't let any of it define her. And that's the most powerful part.

    What ACTUALLY gets you in LUXURY fashion Events

    What would your life look like if you grew up under communism? Today's guest knows exactly what that's like, and now she's living in Beverly Hills wearing head-to-toe Fendi. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Elizabeth Rovens is an LA-based fashion blogger, influencer, and the woman the internet calls "the Fendi girl." 90% of her wardrobe is Fendi. She showed up to my Laguna Beach home in the latest Fendi collection head to toe, and I matched her with my Fendi hat because you don't invite the Fendi queen over and not represent. But her story goes so much deeper than fashion. Elizabeth grew up in Slovakia under a communist regime. As a teenager, she watched Beverly Hills 90210 and dreamed about what life beyond those borders might look like. The day she graduated high school, she had two suitcases packed. She left with a man she'd known for six months to Gran Canaria, Spain, and eventually made her way to America. She could have been walking into anything. Instead, she walked into the life she'd been dreaming about since she was a kid watching American TV. We talk about her journey to America, the gratitude she carries every single day, how she built her relationship with Fendi and became one of their most recognizable faces on social media, fashion influencing advice, how to pose sexy without looking at the camera (think about Jude Bellingham, she says), the Givenchy strategy, her bangs secret, and why she panicked the night before the podcast trying to pick a Fendi outfit from a closet that's 90% Fendi.

    Selling The OC Star Brandi Marshall REFUSED to Do What Producers Wanted!!

    The producers kept pressuring her to go to sushi with Tyler. She said no. Then they told her "your computer is dead, Brandi, you're obviously not working." She still said no. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Brandi Marshall is a former Selling the OC cast member, luxury real estate agent, and someone who managed to get through a Netflix show seen in over 190 countries without compromising who she is. She sat down with me and got incredibly honest about everything: moving to Orange County kicking and screaming, her husband Sean pushing her to audition for the show even though she's a self-described introvert, watching one episode and her hand literally shaking during a confrontation, the constant producer pressure to create drama, why she refused to film a scene that could've been edited to look bad, how it affected her mental health, the moment the show got "put on pause" and she exhaled with relief, Christine Quinn coming back and probably eating everyone's budget, what Google and ChatGPT really say about her (she read it live on camera), her $7 million listing in Truckee, Jason Oppenheim's brilliant strategy of avoiding the drama himself, and her number one piece of advice for anyone trying to break into luxury real estate: know your numbers and be okay with rejection. Oh, and our house was on the show. That's how we met Jason. That's how we started watching. And that's how Brandi ended up in my living room ringing my bar bell.

    I Showed My Handbag Collection & Got the Worst News About My Birkin

    My $8,000 Birkin is fake. I found out on camera. And I need champagne. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Today I'm laying out my entire luxury handbag collection and walking you through every single bag, what I love, what I regret, and the advice I wish someone had given me before my first purchase. We're talking my painted Chanel clutch (yes, I hired someone to paint butterflies on my Chanel and my husband almost fainted), my orange Birkin that a luxury expert just told me is NOT authentic on camera, my Fendi crossbody from San Francisco that doesn't match anything, my Himalayan crocodile Birkin that Joe surprised me with for our 10-year anniversary, a black Chanel bucket bag, a white Bottega I wore every day at New York Fashion Week, and my black Kelly 22 that I can't stop wearing. The biggest lesson? Your first luxury bag should ALWAYS be a neutral black, white, tan. Save the fun colors for bag number three or four. I learned that the hard way. I'm also sharing two brands I personally buy from and have codes for: 🛍 Luxe Du Jour — authenticated pre-owned luxury bags: Code AMYPLUSJOE1 for $100 off orders over $2,000 🛍 Mukie Bolton Boutique — custom exotic handbags that rival Hermès for a fraction: Code AMY10 💎 A $2,500 emerald green Kelly lookalike. A crocodile Birkin alternative for $3,500 that a waiter thought was real Hermès.

    From Pageants to $200M Ranch Deals in luxury Real Estate

    The ranch she featured on her show was 6,500 acres, priced between $50 and $60 million, and that's just one listing. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 I found out I was podcasting Ashton Theiss less than 24 hours before we sat down. I met her 10 minutes before we hit record. And it turned into one of the most authentic, inspiring conversations I've had on this podcast. Ashton is a former Miss Texas USA competitor, three-time reality TV personality (Amazing Race Season 29, Ranch Land Listings, HGTV), and the founder of one of the fastest-growing luxury real estate agencies in Texas, specializing in ranches up to $200 million. She showed up in Wranglers, trusty boots, a blazer, and her late grandfather's Texas belt buckle. She didn't find out until years later that he also had his real estate license, from 1979, and his certificate is now framed in her office. We get into 13 years in the pageant world (it's NOT just about beauty, it's self-confidence and public speaking), the Amazing Race experience on zero sleep and airplane food, how she markets ranch properties using wildlife footage across multiple seasons, her TCU marketing degree she puts to work daily, her faith, her dream ranch (live water, big views, rocky terrain, and a gas fireplace because she smoked out her house at 23 and never got over it), and why ranching is a lifestyle — not a business. 📸 Follow Ashton: @ashtontheiss 🎧 Amy Plus Podcast: https://www.amyplusjoe.com/podcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amyplusjoe 🛍 Discount Codes: https://www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts #AshtonTheiss #LuxuryRealEstate #TexasRanch #MissTexas #AmazingRace #RanchLife #WomenInRealEstate #AmyPlusJoe #AmyPlusPodcast #FortWorthTexas #FemaleEntrepreneur #WesternFashion #CowgirlBoss #LuxuryLand #RanchBroker #TCU

    A 140-year-old brand with that kind of growth rate,  that's a unicorn." For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Today I'm sitting down with a true power couple in the Western luxury world, Tim, CFO of Lucchese, one of the most iconic boot brands in the country, and his wife Alana Kay, a designer, artist, and color evangelist known for her stunning wearable art. Tim showed up in a custom sport coat lined with one of Alana's original paintings on the inside, finance guy on the outside, artist on the inside. That's their whole marriage in one jacket. We get into what makes Lucchese different from every other boot brand, why Western fashion is a movement not a moment, the Yellowstone and Beyoncé effect, how Lucchese showed up at the Breeders Cup and the National Cowboy Museum, Alana's rainbow cowgirl aesthetic and her Atlantic dress line, their custom jacket tradition (Joe does the same thing), the comfort revolution that came out of COVID, and the exciting luxury event we're co-hosting at my Fort Worth home this summer, where guests will leave head to toe in custom boots, wearable art, hats, jewelry, live music, and styled from the ground up. Plus we play the cutest couples rapid-fire game at the end.

    She Fires Clients, Blends Gray Like Magic & Makes More Than Attorneys | Jessica Berry

    For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 What really goes on behind the salon chair? My hairstylist Jessica Berry has spent 25 years finding out, and today she's telling you everything. Jess is a seasoned hairstylist, certified health coach, devoted mom, and wife of Frank Berry, the luxury designer who did our Laguna Beach home and was featured on Netflix's Selling OC. We get into the REAL drama behind the chair, how she can spot a problem client by the third appointment (and how she "fires" them with love), gray blending and why it changed my life, hair extensions, the right way vs the damaging way, why ashy blond ages you, why women want bangs after a breakup (and why she won't cut them), perimenopause and thinning hair, why she makes as much as attorneys in Orange County, the yin-and-yang marriage with Frank, and her final answer on beach waves vs a sleek blowout.
