If you want to be unforgettable, you'll have to break the rules. This is a podcast for creators, where each episode shares hot takes on the people, moments, and stories behind today's most iconic content.

I get real about the messy, challenging moments along the way and remind you you're not figuring this out on your own, with stories about rebellious brands, founders, and individuals who built an identity by doing things differently.
I talk about how they did it.. and all highlights, setbacks, and behind-the-scenes decisions that changed their course.
Hosted by award-winning content strategist, founder, and multimedia expert Melody Beuz, Jeans with a Blazer shares all the real talk you wish your group text had.
Turn that “what if?” into “watch this” alongside a community that gets you with new episodes every Sunday.
