The Meteoric Rise to Fame
Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz are an ambitious couple determined to make it big through their hard-work and determination. Prior to venturing into reality TV, they owned and operated a thrift store. When they learned of the upcoming TV show ‘Storage Wars,’ they decided to participate in the hopes of buying some useful stuff for their shop at economical rates. They joined the show in its first season in 2010 and have been starring in it ever since.
Their determined and tactful bidding and the other strategies they adopted as storage unit buyers made them quite popular. The hitherto unknown couple now became celebrities of sorts as people who watched the show began to recognize them on the streets. Their participation in the show also boosted their business and they were able to expand considerably, even opening another thrift store in a different location. Their popularity also led to the offer to star in a reality TV show focusing exclusively on them, ‘Brandi & Jarrod: Married to the Job.’ This series officially premiered on August 12, 2014. However, the show, which focused on the couple’s family life, did not do as well as expected and had to be cancelled after just eight episodes.
