No Blackout Dates

This one’s all about the biggest craze of the pandemic. No, not sourdough bread or backyard chickens. We’re talking about OnlyFans, the DIY creator platform that has recently been in the spotlight for its (since recalled) plan to ban “pornographic content” on its site. Our guest is none other than Lauren Blake, the epitome of OnlyFans success. Not only is Lauren the face of one of the platform’s most popular accounts, but she has also parlayed that success into her own travel show on OnlyFansTV, Travel With Lauren.

Show Notes

This one’s all about the biggest craze of the pandemic. No, not sourdough bread or backyard chickens. We’re talking about OnlyFans, the DIY creator platform that has recently been in the spotlight for its (since recalled) plan to ban “pornographic content” on its site. Our guest is none other than Lauren Blake, the epitome of OnlyFans success. Not only is Lauren the face of one of the platform’s most popular accounts, but she has also parlayed that success into her own travel show on OnlyFansTV, Travel With Lauren.

Tim and Eben talk with Lauren about getting started on the platform, turning it into a high-yield business with the help of Unruly Agency, and why OnlyFans isn’t at all what people expect it to be. Lauren also discusses hosting a travel show where she visits luxury properties and helps her viewers break down barriers to luxury travel.

In Hot Takes, Tim reveals his number one (and definitely NSFW) flying hack, while Eben ponders how far he’d go to make money online. Tim hasn’t caught Eben this off guard since the infamous “pocket hard-boiled egg” discussion in Season 1, ep. 41.

This week’s Travel News is equally uplifting.
