Marketplace All-in-One · Why do parents turn their kids into influencers? · 9 Apr 2026 podcast

Yeah, thank you for having me.

Oh, yeah, it's an entire production.

And I think that's something that really amazed me in my book is that in my reporting, I found that the top strata of these influencers really run their companies tightly.

And it's really interesting because they have videographers, they have editors, they have

Yeah, yeah.

So it really is.

You said it's like a reality show.

And when you get that successful, it really is like a reality show because you have all these other people coming in to help.

It's not just like mom and dad with a tripod anymore.

Oh my God.

I think it really is the reality TV part of it because, so I don't know how old you are, but I am 32 and I grew up.

Okay.

I grew up in the era of 16 and pregnant on MTV and Teen Mom, right?

Same.

I was so into it because I was 16 and I just couldn't believe it.

And then in the last few years, those kids have started turning 14, 15, 16 themselves.

And I remember a few years ago watching an episode where one of the kids of the teens, who's now obviously not a teen...

was shaving her legs for the first time on camera.

And I was like, wow, this is just so intimate and strange.

And then I started thinking about how it used to be this very small kind of cohort of people who grew up like this.
