Clyde Confidential

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.

Clyde Confidential is a business podcast hosted by iHeartPodcasts, with 23 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.

  From Content Creator to Style Icon With Lilly Sisto

  Aug 13, 202653 minS1

  Live from the Hamptons, NYC IT-girl and content creator Lilly Sisto sits down with her manager and best friend, Sophie Krakoff, for a rare double interview into the business behind the brand. With Meghan, they break down how their friendship turned into a nearly four-year partnership, the "guinea pig" pitch that started it all, and why they compare their working relationship to a marriage (first call in the morning, last call at night, no secrets). Lilly gets candid about working for a luxury fashion job right before going all-in on content creation — and why it was the best thing that ever happened to her — while Sophie shares her winding path through influencer marketing at brands like Halsey's beauty line before landing on the talent side. Plus: what it's really like negotiating with 150+ brands, the "cringe until you're successful" mentality that got Lilly through the early days, why she'll never share her kids online, and their dream collab (hint: it involves Shake Shack). A masterclass in building a creator business without losing the friendship.

  How I Became An Assistant For Hollywood's Biggest Names

  Aug 6, 202622 minS1

  For the first time, Meghan turns the mic on herself. In this episode, the founder of Clyde Staffing and host of Clyde Confidential traces her wild path from a nursing major at Georgetown to celebrity assistant to agency founder. She opens up about using Covid isolation to finally build the company she'd always dreamed of, and the mentors — including Jennifer Lawrence, Ty Stiklorius, and Jason Weinberg — who believed in her before anyone else did. If you've ever wondered how Clyde came to be (or what it actually takes to build a career, and a company, from the ground up), this is the one.

  The Man Behind Hollywood’s Most Exclusive Hotspots with Jeff Klein

  Jul 30, 202656 minS1

  Welcome Jeff Klein! Hotelier Jeff Klein — the man behind San Vicente Bungalows, Sunset Tower, and the West Village — pulls back the curtain on building the most coveted membership clubs in LA and New York. He talks starting his career as a bellman before working his way up through housekeeping, the (very unconventional) way he hired his longtime right hand Gabby, and why loyalty to staff like Gabby and Dimitri is the secret sauce behind his clubs' cult-like followings. Plus: the real vetting process behind who gets in (and who gets kicked out), the biggest green and red flags in both employees and members, and why he thinks San Vicente will outlast every other club in the game. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build a room full of strangers who somehow all just get it — this one's for you.

  Hollywood Producer Reveals Secrets & How She Got Promoted w/ Loni Rodgers

  Jul 23, 202649 minS1

  Welcome Loni! From assistant to producer — Loni Rodgers spills on nearly a decade of climbing the industry ladder, and the discretion it took to do it quietly. She opens up about leaving her role with a notoriously "old Hollywood" boss right as the tabloids came calling (and why she never said a word), plus her journey through Amazon Studios, working under Angela Bassett's production banner, and now producing her own slate of features and a limited series. Along the way: a French Bulldog Instagram account that started an internet fight, a background-actress cameo that never made the final cut, and the two things they say actually matter in this business — taste and network. You don't want to miss this one.

  The Celebrity Psychic Jae Rae

  Jul 16, 202653 minS1

  Welcome Jae Rae! This week on Clyde Confidential, Meghan sits down with her spiritual advisor, healer, and now-client Jay Rae — recorded (fittingly) on the eve of a full moon. Jay Rae isn't just a psychic; she's been Meghan's coach through business decisions, friendship drama, and every spiral in between. They dig into the real difference between new moons and full moons, why "timing is everything" isn't just a platitude, and how Jay Rae went from a kid who thought everyone could see dead people to reading charts for JLo and building a client list of A-listers who need someone they can actually trust. Jay Rae opens up about her own origin story — the astrologer who took her under her wing and threw her in front of a radio mic a week after they met, the phone call from Hollywood, and why she's never once broken a client's confidence in 20-plus years. Oh, and yes — there's a live reading. Multiple live readings. Buckle up.
