87: The Reality of The Bachelor & Dating as an Entrepreneur feat. Susie C. Evans

In this episode, we chat with entrepreneur and former cast member of The Bachelor, Susie C. Evans. We get to chat about the ins and outs of being part of The Bachelor, such as falling in love on set, the role that production plays in building relationships on the show, and dealing with the pressure of being watched, unfiltered. She also talks about her roller-coaster life as an entrepreneur and the importance of pursuing your passion. [3:01] Nominee  "I just thought it was so ridiculous, the concept of it… I remember saying and thinking 'I would be horrible and I won't take it serious'." [5:40] The Season's Bachelor "I think it's because I just put so much value on character for men, rather than their looks… so I was just like 'Okay, we'll see, we gotta put him through the test'." [10:37] The Odds "I remember they kept asking, 'Could you fall in love in 2 months?', and I was like yeah, probably, I've done that before, but it's like totally different on television vs. in the real world…" [13:12] Curated Match "I remember seeing things happen and people being excited about things Clayton did for them, and I was like 'Okay, that was obviously production', and I remember thinking 'How are people falling for this? " [19:22] Saying No "It's frightening not just because what you say could be taken out of context, but because of editing. They could edit you to look a lot of different ways." [22:53] Dealing with Pressure "I remember the influx of people that were messaging me, saying horrible things at first… I remember looking back at myself during that time, and I was in depression for sure." [29:04] Social Media Posting "When you use your platform for something that's really good, but maybe not as 'juicy'… then you are like 'this is a true reflection of my passion and how I like the world to experience life', and it flops." [33:42] Magic in Japan "It was incredible, it was the best thing I ever could have done." [37:02] Work over Dates "I would love to just have that person magically appear, and they're like with me for the rest of my life… I just don't wanna do the dirty work of dating all these guys to find the one." [43:04] Dirty Work of an Entrepreneur  "I know we shouldn't aim to fail, but once you start failing and you realized that 'Oh I picked myself back up and I got through it', it teaches you that that's just a part of the process." [53:54] Pursuing Passion "It doesn't matter, the views. It matters that you're doing what you're passionate about and that you're aligned with, and like we said, the right thing will fall into place when it's meant to." [59:03] Future Plans "Right now, I'm just like super open-minded to going down any avenue of video and photo; just kinda see what sticks, and also like where I'm passionate, I think."   Follow Susie on instagram @susiecevans Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Follow Me on Instagram at @chaselifewithkelly Follow Me on TikTok at @iamkellychase Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Join the ChaseLife with Kelly community!
