Rei Germar on Love, Business, and Life in Her 30s with Kylie Verzosa

In Episode 46 of Almost Honest, Kylie sits down with Rei Germar for a light, honest, and surprisingly practical conversation about turning content into a real business. After almost 10 years of vlogging, Rei opens up about starting out at 20, surviving the bullying that came with early fame, and why in her 30s she’s finally stopped trying to correct people who misunderstand her. The episode covers the secret e-commerce business she built before Tapies, growing the brand from nipple covers to deodorant in over 5,000 stores, the contact lens mistake that cost her millions in inventory, why reach alone can’t sustain a brand, building a business with her fiancé Migy, and why she now celebrates in private before sharing anything online. Equal parts business masterclass and real talk, this conversation is a reminder that success isn’t just the money. It’s the freedom to choose how you spend your time.
