Mero sits down with Alex Wolf, founder of OnlyFnds — a financial wellness platform helping creators (especially in the spicy content space) protect their income, manage taxes, and access safe banking. They break down why two out of three spicy creators get de-banked, how Alex’s own startup exit inspired the platform, and why getting your financial house in order matters more than how much you earn.
Alex also dives into her book Resonate, the history of how women’s media drove the biggest tech innovations we use today — from Pamela Anderson accelerating internet adoption, to J.Lo’s Versace dress launching Google Images, to Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl moment inspiring YouTube — and why the women behind those moments rarely got compensated.
