Chloe Shih (0:01)

I want to talk about creator money versus corporate money. And you're very transparent about how much money you make. How much money did you make at every creator milestone that you had?

Jenny Park (0:09)

I started December, 2021 By the end of 2023, I made...

Chloe Shih (0:14)

Ooh. But you're so adamant about not quitting your corporate job.

Jenny Park (0:18)

I really like working. I love my job. I just like being part of something bigger. I just felt really self-conscious about what it meant to be an influencer for years. Like I still had this voice in my head that was like, who do you think you are? I also had a few coworkers that would kind of shit on it.

Chloe Shih (0:32)

What?

Jenny Park (0:33)

Women should feel empowered to make money. But sometimes I still question, like, do I deserve it? That's tied to the whole belief that women are too greedy if they want money just for the sake of it. That's true.

Chloe Shih (0:44)

You can't just go out there and be like, I want $3 million.

Jenny Park (0:46)

No.

Chloe Shih (0:47)

Yo, women are making some crazy money in 2026 Let's talk about two substantial cases. First one, Jessie Jean. When she opened round two, guess how much money she made?

Office Drama Welcome to Office Drama, where we define the modern career for Gen Z and millennials today. In the office, we have a very rare read. She is a tech creator based in LA. And you know, they don't really exist in LA., so I'm very thankful to have her. She's been working in marketing and brand partnerships for 13 years, starting at General Mills on Cheerios. Then LinkedIn, where we met. And now at Netflix, she creates content on personal finance, on building wealth, on how her and her husband overcame their $120,000 worth of debt in under three years. And she talks about creator money, status, and pop culture commentary. Please welcome my good friend Jenny Park!

Jenny Park (1:56)

Yay!

Oh, in the building! I'm so happy to be here.

Chloe Shih (2:02)

Yay, oh my god.

Jenny Park (2:03)

Chloe, your setup is so cool.

Chloe Shih (2:04)

I'm so glad you finally got to come.

Jenny Park (2:06)

I'm very impressed. I'm blown away by everything.

Chloe Shih (2:08)

The last time we collaborated was your podcast for Shark Tank.

Jenny Park (2:13)

Actually, this time last year.

Chloe Shih (2:14)

Because that was around Create and Cultivate. Because you had a film and then you went to Create and Cultivate. So we just got back from Create and Cultivate, which we'll talk about. But just to warm everyone up for the drama llamas, I need for you to explain how we know each other.

Jenny Park (2:26)

Okay, drama llamas, Chloe and I met when I was at LinkedIn. I just started working on creator and talent partnerships, and we invited Chloe to VidCon as LinkedIn the brand. And LinkedIn was like, how do we get Chloe to start? I think you were already posting on LinkedIn.

Chloe Shih (2:39)

I was, I was.

Jenny Park (2:40)

We were like, Chloe is a unicorn, we need Chloe to have a relationship with us.

Chloe Shih (2:44)

So you guys were saying internally?

Jenny Park (2:45)

Yeah, we were like, LinkedIn loves you. And we met at the VidCon rooftop, and instantly we were just like, hi, hi, let's be friends. And then we hung out in Culver City, I think, because that's when I was living there. And the rest is history. I was not even a creator at that time, I don't think, when we met.

Chloe Shih (2:59)

That's true. You're in talent partnerships?

Jenny Park (3:01)

I was. At the time when we met, it was called talent partnerships. It was basically trying to acquire celebrities and influencers to post more on LinkedIn, because it then increased other people's time spent on LinkedIn.

So I was onboarding at the time, like Ryan Reynolds, Gabrielle Union, those people on, Chloe Shih. Mindy K.

Chloe Shih (3:20)

Link, Mr. Beast. What did the celebrities think of LinkedIn at the time?

Jenny Park (3:24)

I feel like we were targeting the celebrities that made sense. It was celebrities who were looking to build businesses, or were trying to attract other businesses, like a Ryan Reynolds or Mindy K. Link.
