From earning $2.50/hr at Applebee’s to amassing $113K on MTV's The Challenge, and even making more in a single episode of Teen Mom than in an entire season of The Challenge, Cory Wharton unveils behind-the-scenes insights into his MTV reality TV career!

This week, Jason is joined by reality TV star known for his roles on MTV’s The Real World, The Challenge, and Teen Mom, Cory Wharton!

Cory started his reality TV career back in 2015 when he was a cast member on the Real World Explosion. The very next year he made his way onto the Challenge, debuting on Battle of the Bloodlines. Since then, he has been a regular across the channels on a plethora of reality TV shows, including Teen Mom and has been able to capitalize on it by building brands for himself and the entirety of his family.

Cory gives insight to how long a season of Teen Mom films for, how different filming is for the Real World and the Challenge compared to Teen Mom, why he dropped out of college, why he wanted to go into education, his jobs prior to his time on reality tv, how he monetized off social media, and how he was approached for Teen Mom. Cory also reveals how he ended up boxing, what it was like filming a movie, and how perspective is critical when facing difficult medical situations. Plus a special appearance by Cory’s daughters. Which show does he make the most on? Why did he take a break from The Challenge? Has social media alone made him a millionaire? What was the craziest thing after his first boxing match?

Cory Wharton reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
