In this episode of Spout Podcast, host Tamara Dhia sits down with cultural icon Daisy Fuentes for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about career longevity, reinvention, love after 40, and why aging is power. Daisy reflects on breaking into MTV during its absolute peak, becoming the first Latina VJ, and hosting House of Styleat a moment in pop culture that will never be replicated. She shares the real story behind her audition, how manifestation worked long before social media, and why authenticity—not polish—is what actually connects. Beyond MTV, Daisy opens up about evolving past the spotlight, building a fashion brand that has lasted for decades, and why surrounding yourself with the right people matters more than ego. The conversation turns deeply personal as she talks about aging gracefully on her own terms, dating in today’s world, and meeting her husband later in life.
