Joey Zauzig is back with Ashley + Madison for a real conversation about what most people don’t see behind influencer life.
From dating after divorce to the pressure of an always-on persona, Joey shares the honest version, messy, funny, and unexpectedly relatable.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The “two personas” Joey says he’s constantly managing (online vs offline)
• Why being single can be healthier than re-connecting with toxic people
• The real workload behind influencing: meetings, content, travel, brand deals
• Dating in LA, expensive dates, and what actually matters long-term
• Joey’s mindset shift: letting life work out and “making space” for better
• Relationship respect, boundaries, and what crossed the line in his marriage
• Brand-culture moments: Love Island, Dunkin, De’Longhi, and what brand trips are really like

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt torn between who you are publicly vs privately, or you’re navigating dating, healing, and identity in real time.

Question for the comments: What part of Joey’s story hit you the hardest the dating advice, the divorce honesty, or the “two personas” conversation?
