Paige reveals she knew of Hallie before Hallie knew her, describing Hallie as "always had star aura, and you've always been that girl." (Paige, 02:57)
Nostalgic Nantucket references: both grew up spending summers there, working retail, and running in overlapping social circles.
Paige recounts a past incident involving a guy in their friend group—she tried to do the “right thing” by alerting another girl about dubious behavior, reflecting:

"Girls are way meaner to girls than guys are to girls. That's always how it goes." (Paige, 04:37)
On confrontation: Paige is non-confrontational, preferring harmony, while Hallie admits to liking a bit of drama.

Careers Before Influencing & Working in Retail

[07:32-10:39]

Paige emphasizes the importance of retail and service jobs as formative, teaching humility and practical skills:

"Working retail…is so good for being a creator and an influencer because I know how to move product." (Paige, 07:35)
Both discuss their earliest roles: nannies, hostesses, retail workers—“I love to make money. The hostess thing was not bringing the coin” (Paige, 08:59).
Reflections on Nantucket culture—everyone works, even the "trust fund babies," and the experience instills a work ethic.

Paige on Being "Straight Edge" Growing Up

[10:49-11:49]

Paige describes her focus on competitive ski racing and respecting her parents’ sacrifice:

“The least thing I felt like I could do was not drink and not be a problem in high school.” (Paige, 11:40)
This led to being left out of typical “cool kid” high school parties but set a precedent for her later discipline and drive.

The Concept of “Aura,” Authenticity, and Handling Internet Scrutiny

[14:12-18:51]

Paige says Hallie has the “special sauce”—that unteachable influencer charisma.

"There are so many beautiful women that don’t have the special sauce." (Paige, 14:25)
They touch on public figures like Hailey Bieber, who "gets a bit of hate, but I think it's related to her aura," and how she’s thrived by leaning into her uniqueness (Paige, 14:49).
Both discuss internet rumors and handling hate:

"The truth always prevails…In this industry, you can virtue signal so much, but your real-life relationships and experiences always come forth." (Paige, 16:01)
Paige explains she’s less vulnerable online, protecting her peace, but warns:

"If you are not putting out a narrative about yourself, someone will make it for you." (Paige, 17:05)

Owning the Narrative, Moving Mysteriously, and Public Life Balance

[17:41-19:52]

Paige doesn't overshare on TikTok, which "adds to the curiosity" about her private and business lives.
Affirmation that authenticity matters more than appeasing everyone:

"Because you don’t want to be bullied into being inauthentic either." (Halle, 18:51)
Hallie praises Paige for being emotionally intelligent and supportive, especially in the influencer world.

Friendship, Loyalty, and High Standards

[20:32-21:57]

Paige asserts Hallie is a fiercely loyal friend, unusually present and trustworthy for the influencer world:

"You are supportive of all your friends. You are present. You're really great. I love you." (Paige, 20:57)
They reveal—humorously and with the help of Paige’s mom—that they're actually distant cousins (22:00-24:05):

“No, my grandmother's middle name is your last name…” (Paige, 22:01)

Paige's Move Out of NYC, Brand Growth, and Trusting Her Gut

[24:14-28:41]

Paige left NYC when she realized she wasn’t aligned with her city's "inauthentic" content-creation grind.
She reflects on the importance of self-discovery, even when “down bad,” and emphasizes trying things wholeheartedly:

“If I'm doing something, I'm doing it… I'm not half-assing anything.” (Paige, 28:25)

The Dairy Boy Brand – Origin Story

[31:58-36:13]

Paige candidly shares how Dairy Boy grew from selling camo hats out of her garage to a “massive business"—her leap into entrepreneurship was about starting, not waiting for perfection:

"It’s way more important to get your idea out there and start something, even if it’s not perfect..." (Paige, 32:01)
Emphasizes feedback loops, team-building, and how online hate does not affect product sales:

"There can be 110 videos made about my business and the quality being bad and my sales will be up." (Paige, 38:49)

Handling Criticism and Blocking on Social Media

[37:16-39:54]

Open discussion about boundaries:

"I do block people online a lot. Like truly, I love the block…If I think you’re sus, I’m blocking." (Paige, 37:16)
She welcomes genuine feedback for business improvement, but dismisses “bot” negativity.

Influence, Family Support, and Smart Humor

[40:03-41:41]

Both reflect on coming from hardworking families, how that’s fueled their ambition, and the importance of supportive partners and parents.
Hallie jokes about her online “dumb character,” but Paige confirms:

"You're one of the smartest people I know." (Paige, 41:38)

WAG Life: Paige on Being Engaged to Tommy Paul

[41:43-44:57]

Paige appreciates the chance to merge sports, style, and her social platforms through her relationship, but clarifies being a "WAG" isn't her entire identity:

"Being a WAG is the most…least interesting thing about me, I think...it's impossible for me to do everything 100%." (Paige, 44:57)

Feminism, Ambition, and Defining Success

[46:04-50:26]

Paige frames her lifestyle as a blend of soft-life/tradition and female entrepreneurship:

"You can live a soft life…but you are also an entrepreneur and business owner. You're also financially independent and you can do both." (Paige, 46:13)
Both discuss pressures of settling down and societal timelines, reinforcing:

"The most important thing to do is figure out what success means to you and go after that. And that looks different for everyone." (Paige, 49:37)
Hallie: "Comparison is a thief of joy." (50:21)

The Engagement Scoop
