27: Scratching The Lifestyle Itch With Jarrett Lambo
For most, the word "Magnolia" no longer conjures up a picture of a flower, but rather the iconic home and lifestyle brand that Chip and Joanna Gaines have built and expanded since the early days of their HGTV show.
Today we get to speak with Jarrett Lambo, Head of Programming for Blind Nil, the production company for the Magnolia Network. Rarely will you find a more experiential brand than what Chip and Joanna have created and continue to build. Jarrett plays a major role in taking that real life and delivering it to us on our screen each week.
Lambo's journey to working with the Magnolia team is a storied one. As a producer and eventually an executive producer, his filming took him across the globe. He has worked on some wildly varied and successful projects - from shows like Jersey Shore to Average Joe. From America's Got Talent to HGTV Design Star. From Fixer Upper to Magnolia Table.
Perhaps as impressive is the surprising to some life decision he and his wife made to leave his high profile career in New York to move to Texas for a more experiential life.
In todays episode dive into:
-The challenges of taking risks
-Chasing what you want at seemingly inopportune times
-Working with driven and iconic figures in any field
-Deciding on what's most important in life
-Balancing a big career with the importance of family.
