On this episode of In The Hype Seat, host Holly Meyer Lucas sits down with lifestyle creator and South Florida favorite Jenna Hubka, better known as The Random Housewife as she shares her unexpected journey from what began as an offhand comment at a girls dinner, turned into one of the most recognizable lifestyle accounts in the region, built through discipline, authenticity, and an entirely self-taught approach to the influencer world.

Jenna opens up about her childhood in Ormond Beach, her early career in event planning, the burnout that shaped her path forward, and the moment she finally decided to take her content seriously. She shares the story of buying her domain at a dinner table, the first posts she ever made, growing her page to nearly one hundred thousand followers, and the values that guide every piece of content she creates. This conversation goes far beyond fashion and home hacks. It is a candid look at influence, identity, the business behind the content, and the responsibility that comes with an audience.

Holly and Jenna dive into the pressure of performance, the power of honesty, and the unexpected moments that remind Jenna why she shows up on the internet at all.

What does it really take to become the go-to real estate broker in the Bahamas?

In this episode of In The Hype Seat, Holly Meyer Lucas sits down with Tim Rodland, founder of Rodland Real Estate, to talk about his journey from growing up between New York City and Nassau to building a global client base of high-net-worth buyers and sellers.

Tim shares what it’s like to sell ultra-luxury homes across the Bahamian islands, the tax and residency strategies that attract international investors, and how he built his business by refusing to follow the status quo. From Albany and Baker’s Bay to underrated Out Islands, Tim breaks down the nuance of pairing people with the right lifestyle — not just a property.

They also dive into how real estate really works in the Bahamas (hint: you do need a license), what to know if you’re buying offshore, and why Tim’s fast, high-touch service model has made him the most trusted broker in a market known for being, well... slow.

This conversation is full of real talk on luxury, identity, reputation, and what it takes to stay sharp in a place where most people are on vacation.
