🍸 This Father-Son Duo Make Cocktails on TikTok

CREATOR ECONOMY NEWSLETTER

Issue 65 | September 6, 2022

Working with family isn’t easy in any industry. However, content creation can cause a greater strain since social media is often a 24/7 job. The lines between your work and personal lives can start to blur without the proper boundaries, and the father-son duo behind TikTok cocktail account JohnnyDrinks can attest to this.

John Rondi, Jr. said that TikTok talk can sometimes bleed into personal time with his father, John Rondi Sr. However, the two have gradually learned how to take a step back in these moments, and they say that their close relationship is as much of a strength as it is a hurdle. Passionfruit reporter Grace Stanley spoke to the family about overcoming these challenges, their inspiration for videos, how they pick brand deals, and more.
