Episode 273 - Freezing Cold Takes ft. Caitlin O’Connor

We took things ice cold in the Strip District 🧊🔥

On this episode of Freezing Cold Takes, the Bucco Bantr crew sits down with Uniontown native Caitlin O’Connor at MindFuel Method for a cold plunge interview you don’t want to miss. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Uniontown, PA, Caitlin always knew she wanted a career in entertainment—specifically as a TV host.

After heading back to LA for college, she worked her way up from unglamorous early jobs to becoming a successful actress, model, TV host, and producer.

Caitlin shares:
