82: Bravo legend Caroline Manzo: From reality television to new ventures, Real Housewives fan favorite on why she left reality TV, taking the fear out of cooking, and knowing your value

This week, Jason is joined by Bravo legend and on the OG cast members of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Caroline Manzo! 

 

Caroline appeared in the inaugural season of the hit Bravo series and instantly became a fan favorite for her loving, bluntly honest personality. After five seasons on the show, she decided to step away and start a spinoff series called Manzo’d with Children which ran for four seasons, ending in 2017. Now five years removed from reality television, Caroline has been able to focus her career toward other interests. 

 

Caroline provides insight on how she negotiated for herself when it came to her TV contract, the differences between being on Real Housewives and Manzo’d with Children, the importance of being yourself, and how her new YouTube cooking show, Food, Love and Chaos with Caroline Manzo is around teaching people not be afraid of cooking. Caroline also reveals how she feels about being called a fan favorite, how she was discovered and cast for Real Housewives of New Jersey with the help of her sister, the differences between her two books, and what her experiences at Bravo Con have been like. What is her best advice for negotiating? What were the biggest differences between being on Real Housewives of New Jersey and Manzo’d with Children? How has she monetized on social media after being on the show? Where are the best places to eat in New Jersey? 

 

Caroline reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
