Jason Rosell — better known as "Heat" from I Love New York and I Love Money seasons 1 and 2 — is one of the most entertaining, inspiring, and genuinely lovable characters to ever come out of the VH1 reality TV universe. And in this episode of Talk of Love, he brings every bit of that energy.

Heat appeared on I Love New York season 1, where he and Tiffany Pollard had instant, electric chemistry from the very first episode. He went on to compete on I Love Money, facing off against fellow "Of Love" alumni in one of VH1's most chaotic and beloved spinoffs.

But this conversation goes way beyond the shows.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How Heat ended up on I Love New York — including the moment he walked into the mansion and thought he'd accidentally signed up for a completely different kind of show
• His take on Tiffany Pollard (New York) — why most guys were intimidated by her, and why he wasn't
• What it was really like competing on I Love Money — the strategy, the chaos, and the cast dynamics
• His acting career before reality TV, including a small role on Entourage on HBO
• His incredible weight loss journey — from 225 pounds and struggling with depression and anxiety, to completely transforming his life
• How he turned his personal transformation into a fitness company called Caliente Fitness
• Appearing on Sweat Inc. with Jillian Michaels — and winning the group fitness division
• His cookbook series, Yummy Healthy Recipes and Yummy Healthy Dinners, available on Amazon
• His wellness program, Mind Right, Body Tight — a 12-week transformational program focused on mindset, relationships, and health
• Appearances on Steve Harvey, Hallmark Channel Home and Family, the Adam Carolla Show, and more
• His podcast and YouTube show, Get Inspired — and why he invited Lacey to be a guest
• Why he believes engaging authentically with fans has been one of his biggest keys to success
• His friendship with 12 Pack, Tailor Made, and other I Love New York and I Love Money cast members

Heat is proof that there's a rich, full life on the other side of reality TV — and this episode will leave you genuinely rooting for him.
