He's like, I'm gonna post it. Bro, I got like over five million views. I was like, what the fuck? Literally, okay, so I have a scene coming out. A VR company, they literally wrote a script around it. They did we did a breeding kink scene where I said I was pregnant to my boyfriend, and like we just played off of the hole, me saying I'm pregnant.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

Yeah, I was like, people was arguing with me. I'm like, I did.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

I want the thick one, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:28

But yeah, Willow man, I like you've been doing so much this year. And I actually I wanna uh when did you start?

SPEAKER_01 2:35

Was it I started like literally right at the end of 2022. After that, I took a little bit of a break to think about like, do I really want to do this? And then like like the beginning of 2023, I moved to Florida and started my career.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Okay, okay. And you started off OnlyFans, right?

SPEAKER_01 2:51

No, I never did OnlyFans. No, you didn't? I was like, I did shit for you know, like sex, paid sex, you know. I was I was dabbling into that, but no, I had my own career outside of that. I never did OnlyFans, never was an online freak, nothing like that. Okay, okay. I just like jumped right into porn and mainstream and starting.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

Mainstream. Like uh I know the Ricky room is the one that a lot of people start seeing, like start noticing. It wasn't that. What was what was the net what was the first one?

SPEAKER_01 3:16

My Mike Adriano scenes, my Brazzers scene, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of shit. But Ricky definitely did put me on, and I'm not taking away from that. He definitely did a lot for me in my career to boost it. Yeah, so like when people see I say or I'm sorry, when people think of Ricky, they think of me too.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

Yeah, I think of you and Princess Emily. That one scene y'all just tag team it or something. Like that one, I like y'all that say I'm like, oh, those are two of the finest women I ever seen in my life.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

Yeah, I have a lot more, but that's a good one.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

Yeah, yeah. You got you got a lot. Yeah, you got a lot.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

So were you signed when you first walked in the game? Signed a Ricky? Hell, just signed, period. Like, were you already on the agency? Were you only mainstream when you first walked in?

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Oh, yeah, that's I that was my first thing. I didn't do OnlyFans. I did mainstream porn, and then I made an OnlyFans.

SPEAKER_02 3:59

Oh, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

I got confused because I watched a lot of your interviews and I was confused. Like, if you started a game on the top, no, no, no, no, no. I started bottom of the barrier, bottom of the totem pole. Like, I really worked to get where I am. Like, uh, yeah, I'm lucky, I'm blessed, but no, it's all hard work.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Yeah. Oh, yeah, and your your uh promo game is fantastic. Thank you. That's one thing I gotta commend you because, like I said, I'm a promoter. I started off of that before I even thought. Yeah, just studying your seeing your your posts and all the uh basic all the hits you get and all the social media attraction, it's phenomenal. Like I know you put in work, and what well one thing I know you said you run all your stuff. Yeah, I run all my stuff. Like because everybody might think it's a botter, it's all people know. It's all willow grinding.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Yes, and so I will say I'm not I don't strategize when it comes to marketing. Like I do, there's thought behind it, and I do think you know, I'm thoughtful, but I don't like plan out posts, I don't do any of that. I really just like get inspired by people like Angela White. I love her promo game, yeah, she's a good example. I pay attention to companies, you know, like MindGeek companies or AOL, AOL companies or Brassers, Reality King, call that. So I just kind of like mimic and put my own twist to it. Okay. But I'm very like, I think of it on the spot and I post it. Like, I'm not like, oh, I need to post it this time, or I'm not strategic in that way, nope.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Oh, okay. So you're just really freestyling the motherfucker.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:26

Yeah, yeah. And like uh, oh, and your workout videos is hot. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 5:30

I'm trying to brand myself, I'm trying to make it me more than just a porn brand. Like, porn is great, I love porn, that's like where I started, but I want to like reach other people. So I have a page called Working with Willow. Working with Willow on Instagram. So I do like all my workout videos, and people like it.

SPEAKER_02 5:44

SPEAKER_01 6:08

God damn. No, I did a really good one.

SPEAKER_00 6:13

Um that's so hard.

Ricky's room, gangbang. Um, really any of my Ricky's room. I love my scenes with Hard X. Uh, the director's name is Mason. Um Mike Adriano. So those are like the three studios. As far as scenes, I've done so much for them, it's hard to pick. But the one that always stands out to me is my gangbang. I did because like we literally went for an hour straight and no cuts. Working that motherfucker, yeah. It was going in.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

You water breaks?

SPEAKER_01 7:00

My water.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

No water. No water.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

Oh no, no, no. An hour straight and no sops.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

Damn, you uh you took you instead of them taking you down through there, you took them down through there.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

I did, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Really, really well. I did. That's what's up. And then I just want to ask you, as an upcoming creator or whatsoever, do you do any, do you do pay bookings with somebody? Yeah, and I I I definitely want to get that on. Because I definitely want to do uh paylooking with your ass. Yeah, yeah, I got you. But yeah, uh Pete, jump in here real quick.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

My ear, it's just okay.

SPEAKER_04 7:36

I'm I'm gonna pay you and talk to you at the same time. We're gonna keep this church.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

Do it for like a 10 seconds, you're good.

SPEAKER_04 7:41

Baby, we doing it like church right here. You feel me? Yeah, for the monikers entrepreneur with uh Willow Rider, rewind on the game. Um, the fact that you you said earlier that you don't strategize, you just uh implement right away.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:55

How important is that to keeping yourself relevant?

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Oh, it's so important. Yeah, right. Social media is how you reach a wider audience. Yeah, a lot of these people that pay and per porn are older, so they're not social media savvy. Yeah, yeah. I want to reach a bigger audience, so definitely being relevant on social media as a way to make yourself official, like people like take you more seriously.

SPEAKER_04 8:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:14

And especially with like brand deals, like people companies, people need to know you're serious.

SPEAKER_04 8:17

Yeah, absolutely. Um, so from the mind of an example, because that's what I that's what all we talk about, is the business of sexual mastery, right? Yeah. Um it's a it's a chapter in my book that's called about aging up, not out.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:31

Yeah, so in that place, um, you said about uh branding yourself more in the fitness industry.

SPEAKER_01 8:37

Um anything lifestyle, but yeah, fitness is like because I've always worked out.

SPEAKER_04 8:41

Yeah, yeah. So it's who I am, yeah. It's who you are. So identifying that your fitness is everything. Now, are you gonna be more on a workout exercise or the lifestyle in regards to eating, nutrition?

SPEAKER_01 8:52

I could, yeah, but I don't really like know a lot about that. So I stick to like working out because I have trainers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:58

So are you open into affiliate, being affiliates for like uh certain nutrition brands and stuff like that that help you fit in fact? Yeah, I would do that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So um, how important it is it to actually um expand your brand outside of just everybody knowing you because that's a staple. Everybody know that you know how to take them through there, right? Yeah, yeah. You know, how is it important to have longevity by expanding out and doing that?

SPEAKER_01 9:22

Exactly how you have longevity. So you want people to talk about you, not just in a secretive way, but in a way that like it's public and people are like not ashamed. Because you know, like people like know what an outright right outright say, like I wash porn. Yeah. So if you're like branding yourself outside of it, it keeps you relevant, it keeps people talking about you for a long time. Because it's just more memorable.

SPEAKER_04 9:40

Yeah, because um, like myself, I have an organic uh perfume and fragrance line, body cream and natural like that. So I book uh adult performers specifically for that so that they can have ongoing plus brand deals, yeah. And plus on top of that, um, I love it when y'all do that freaky shit with my shit.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Uh huh.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

I love it when they when they do freaky shit with my shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Yaki creative, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:00

Yeah, yeah, I love it. I love it. I got that. You know, if you are open to it, I am the.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

SPEAKER_04 11:00

Yeah, so um, last but not least, you just shot, um, you recently shot with in melanin. Yeah, and those are my babies. I love them girls, you know. I'm everything melanin, you feel me? Yeah. Um, how's that what was that experience in having uh working with another uh HBIC? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And by you being an independent, yeah, uh, and then you work with another independent. Yeah, how was that experience?

SPEAKER_01 11:20

It was a lot of fun. She says to it was easy, you know. Yeah, they really cared about the production and the talent on set. So yeah, it's overall a great experience.

SPEAKER_04 11:27

So is there an expectation um by you being recognized and real known now? Um expectations on when you work with somebody or you choose to work with someone, um, what they should have in place.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Oh, I mean, regardless of who I am, I definitely like, yeah, I want to be taken care of, I want to feel cared for. Yeah, I want to feel like I'm a priority on set. Okay, that's all it is. Is it does that mean food? Yeah, food, snacks, drinks, checking in, uh-huh, making sure you have a comfortable place to hang out, like yeah, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:57

So shout out to the a lot of times, um, when I know a lot of new producers, directors that want to come in or want to work with established talent for branded and they're willing to pay whatever you ask them for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you think that, but the nuances, because I I've heard in the past that they just don't know how to treat a lady. Yeah, we're trying to educate you how to treat how to treat uh a talent as a person and not as a thing.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

I mean, a lot of mainstream companies don't really have that issue. There has been issues, don't get me wrong, but yeah, yeah. I mean, even like if we're just doing a amateur set, like you know, like like my ex-boyfriend, I made sure he had tampons, baby wipes, makeup remover wipes, like everything, makeup sponges, like everything that you need at his home, toothbrushes, all the nine, all the like everything. And I like he now he has that when he has people come over and shoot.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

So you support him, you know, even though you're haircuts. Oh, of course, yeah. That's what makes how dope is you. Thank you. You know, cause you know, most exes like fuck him. No, I'm not bitter. I don't I don't hate him. He didn't do anything to me that bad. Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:00
