Is It Just Me Podcast Layla K & MJ

That's a wrap on Season 3 of the Is It Just Me with Layla K and MJ podcast! 
But before we go on hiatus until September, we thought to highlight a few episodes that confirmed it wasn't just LaylaK or MJ who thought a topic merited a conversation. And, of course, share a few ever-popular bloopers.
Thanks for listening and following our podcast! While we are on hiatus, we still want your ideas for future shows, including disappearances in parks, UFO or UAP sightings, and hot enough to fry an egg stories. Drop us a comment on X, Instagram, Facebook or here.
Follow us on Apple Podcast, Spotify, etc to be sure to catch our Season 4 launch in September. 
Because it may not be just you... but it could be!

On the last episode, Layla K and MJ discussed products that might have seemed silly during the pitch, but the market decided and they ultimately made millions of dollars!
On this episode, they discuss products that the market decided were fails. Think chicken and crab meat frozen entrees, brought to you by your favorite toothpaste brand! Spoiler alert: it flopped.

Just what is NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) all about? Some college athletes are now earning more than their coaches - and it’s not stopping there! 
On today's episode, Mr. Deryk Gilmore, President & Owner of Day 1 Sports & Entertainment, an NFLPA Contract Advisor, breaks it down for all of us. We learned that it’s not so cut and dry - everyone’s getting in on it, and some will profit while others might get hurt.
Many thanks to friend of the pod Mr. Jason Gilmore for making the introduction to this engaging guest!
