Kit Keenan: Finding her Niche, Embracing Influencer Title & Stepping Out of Famous Mom’s Shadow

This week, Jason is joined by Bachelor Nation alum turned fashion designer, home chef and content creator, Kit Keenan!
Many know Kit from her time on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, but what you may not know is that Kit is no stranger to the spotlight before going on the show, she was raised in New York City by her famous fashion designer mother, Cynthia Rowley. Growing up watching her mother succeed in the fashion industry gave her access and perspective on the fashion industry that many individuals would never have until much later in their careers. Now a few years later in her career, Kit has branded herself as Gen Z’s answer to Martha Stewart by leveraging her knowledge of the fashion industry and adding a twist of her love of cooking. She has been entertaining her nearly 600k followers on Instagram and TikTok with fashion-focused content and hosting a social media cooking series “What’s Kit Cooking”.
Kit gives insight to how she deals with imposter syndrome, how her perspective changed on the word influencer, what her mom thought about her going on The Bachelor, how she feels being labeled as a nepo baby, how to get out of the shadow of someone else, her relationship with money, how she ended up in a campaign with Hailey Bieber’s company, and what she learned from launching her own clothing line. Kit also reveals what she thinks she spends too much money on, how she would define her brand, behind the scenes of influencer collaborations, how she plans from a financial standpoint, how finding her niche helped her grow exponentially, where fashion trends are at today, and what the best deal she has done is. What are her claims to fame in the Bachelor franchise? Would she ever go back on reality TV? What social media platform does she make more on?
Kit reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

This was such a good video - always great to hear your interview. They’re so professional, real and honest

[@mackenziewhite407]

Could have listened to a 3 hr episode of you two! Thanks for the insights.

[@meee0w134]

first time listening to this podcast. saw a clip with Kit and it seemed very interesting. I really like the conversation around money. it's something that is never talked about but should be. this aspect definitely puts your podcast apart from others (pop culture & speaking on finance).

Jason, have you considered somehow publishing a list of all your guests' trading secrets? Kit's was awesome

[@Jason_Tartick]

Tell me more about this

[@victoriashore2576]

@@Jason_TartickI’ve always thought of this too! You could do a coffee table type book with a page for each guest’s trading secret

[@SamanthaTwist]

@@victoriashore2576I love that idea 👏🏻👏🏻

Am I missing something? With all respect (Kit is typically gorgeous and so stylish), but here she looks less than her best. Of course she’s a beautiful young woman, but long fairly plain today. Did she not know we could access this visually?
