Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.

    Savannah Engel On How to Make Yourself Indispensable

    Savannah Engel, founder of the buzzy agency Savi, and her VP (and self-described "sister") Claire O'Connor sit down with Meghan Grimm for a hilarious, no-filter conversation on building a company together for nearly eight years. Savannah traces her wild path from a Michael Kors intern who caught the designer's eye mid-internship to launching Savi after shattering her leg on her 30th birthday (on painkillers, no less). Claire shares the chaotic, extremely candid story of how she first met Savannah as an 18-year-old assistant. They break down what actually makes their agency different — chasing atypical community instead of traditional press, building brand-new communities through events and unlikely partnerships, and why fashion PR has become so saturated that authenticity is the real currency now. Plus: the wildest work-trip stories (hello, Venice), the secret to running a company with your best friend without losing the friendship, and why Dua Lipa keeps waving at them like she knows them (she doesn't). A masterclass in hustle, chaos, and building something real.

    How DOGPOUND Became the Gym for the Stars

    Meghan heads to her favorite gym for a full roundtable with the trainers of DOGPOUND — the "exclusive performance members club" beloved by everyone from A-list actors to marathoners. The NYC Team kick things off talking about what actually separates DOGPOUND from every other gym (hint: it's the people, not the equipment), while the LA Team each share their own winding paths into fitness. From Whole Foods cashier to certified trainer, from construction work in Illinois to training celebrities within a few years. They get into what it really takes to work with high-profile clientele without making them feel weird, how they track everything from BMI to body fat with next-level tech, and why the gym's rotation system builds a genuine community instead of the usual gym-bro energy. Plus: the real advice from DOGPOUND's Owner, for anyone trying to break into fitness training, and a peek into the bigger vision to expand that rare Dogpound energy beyond just NYC and LA.

    Welcome Lauren Jeworski! Celebrity stylist and personal shopper Lauren Jeworski joins the pod to break down what it actually takes to have (and build) great style. She gets into the wild range of her job — dressing everyone from newborns to yacht guests to a client doing 13 Halloween costumes for a livestream — and why she almost never buys anything full price when The RealReal exists. Plus: her honest take on whether style can be taught, and why she dresses down on the job so the talent shines. A masterclass in taste, hustle, and staying humble at the top of your industry.

    From Content Creator to Style Icon With Lilly Sisto

    Live from the Hamptons, NYC IT-girl and content creator Lilly Sisto sits down with her head-of-brand and best friend, Sophie Krakoff, for a rare double interview into the business behind the brand. With Meghan, they break down how their friendship turned into a nearly four-year partnership, the "guinea pig" pitch that started it all, and why they compare their working relationship to a marriage (first call in the morning, last call at night, no secrets). Lilly gets candid about working for a luxury fashion job right before going all-in on content creation — and why it was the best thing that ever happened to her — while Sophie shares her winding path through influencer marketing at brands like Halsey's beauty line before landing on the talent side. Plus: what it's really like negotiating with 150+ brands, the "cringe until you're successful" mentality that got Lilly through the early days, why she'll never share her kids online, and their dream collab (hint: it involves Shake Shack). A masterclass in building a creator business without losing the friendship.

    How I Became An Assistant For Hollywood's Biggest Names

    For the first time, Meghan turns the mic on herself. In this episode, the founder of Clyde Staffing and host of Clyde Confidential traces her wild path from a nursing major at Georgetown to celebrity assistant to agency founder. She opens up about using Covid isolation to finally build the company she'd always dreamed of, and the mentors — including Jennifer Lawrence, Ty Stiklorius, and Jason Weinberg — who believed in her before anyone else did. If you've ever wondered how Clyde came to be (or what it actually takes to build a career, and a company, from the ground up), this is the one.

    The Man Behind Hollywood’s Most Exclusive Hotspots with Jeff Klein

    Welcome Jeff Klein! Hotelier Jeff Klein — the man behind San Vicente Bungalows, Sunset Tower, and the West Village — pulls back the curtain on building the most coveted membership clubs in LA and New York. He talks starting his career as a bellman before working his way up through housekeeping, the (very unconventional) way he hired his longtime right hand Gabé, and why loyalty to staff like Gabé and Dimitri is the secret sauce behind his clubs' cult-like followings. Plus: the real vetting process behind who gets in (and who gets kicked out), the biggest green and red flags in both employees and members, and why he thinks San Vicente will outlast every other club in the game. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build a room full of strangers who somehow all just get it — this one's for you.

    Hollywood Producer Reveals Secrets & How She Got Promoted w/ Loni Rodgers

    Welcome Loni! From assistant to producer — Loni Rodgers spills on nearly a decade of climbing the industry ladder, and the discretion it took to do it quietly. She opens up about leaving her role with a notoriously "old Hollywood" boss right as the tabloids came calling (and why she never said a word), plus her journey through Amazon Studios, working under Angela Bassett's production banner, and now producing her own slate of features and a limited series. Along the way: a French Bulldog Instagram account that started an internet fight, a background-actress cameo that never made the final cut, and the two things they say actually matter in this business — taste and network. You don't want to miss this one.

    The Celebrity Psychic Jae Rae

    Welcome Jae Rae! This week on Clyde Confidential, Meghan sits down with her spiritual advisor, healer, and now-client Jay Rae — recorded (fittingly) on the eve of a full moon. Jay Rae isn't just a psychic; she's been Meghan's coach through business decisions, friendship drama, and every spiral in between. They dig into the real difference between new moons and full moons, why "timing is everything" isn't just a platitude, and how Jay Rae went from a kid who thought everyone could see dead people to reading charts for JLo and building a client list of A-listers who need someone they can actually trust. Jay Rae opens up about her own origin story — the astrologer who took her under her wing and threw her in front of a radio mic a week after they met, the phone call from Hollywood, and why she's never once broken a client's confidence in 20-plus years. Oh, and yes — there's a live reading. Multiple live readings. Buckle up.
