1. Is Sean still involved with his friends' furniture/handbag business?
2. He spoke about losing investors $ before going on the bachelorette (I think he spoke of it in his "I am second" video).  Would he have to pay part of that back or did he declare bankruptcy?

Financially, they should be very well to do - Bach salary, DWTS, public appearances, product promotion (a Brit company for men's skin care at one point, and his current diet product).  He definitely can take his time to decide what to do next.

About Catherine, does she still do a blog?  I remember she started a new one during DWTS.  
I think her new design venture is a great match for her skills.  Like Des, she has moved into a field that she has expertise in.

 

He is still listed on the Factory Girl website.

That business gone south was before he started working in the family insurance business because he felt like he needed something safer after the failure. And the business failed and the investors lost their investment. He didn't have to pay them back I believe.

Like I said, Sean is already involved in other ventures. They just aren't public knowledge.

IMO, San bringing GA and the other vets on board to manage this board is important, not only for now having the necessary multiple eyes and hands, but especially because those selected have the experience to know who how it's suppose to work and how it's suppose to feel --- meaning, it's suppose to feel good.

For those besotted by the lead Bachelor/ette and his or her chosen one, having the fan threads must be great. What hasn't been great is how the rest of us --- the majority; those who merely like the couple, those who didn't care one way or the other about the couple and those who don't care for the couple, at all --- have been treated when we've occasionally posted by those who post regularly at the fan threads. Not suggesting all fan tread posters have been rude, for that's never been the case, but those that have been rude have been exceptionally rude. IMO, it's simply not fair to be treated that way or being forced to witness this kind of unnecessary rudeness directed at others.

GA, etc., thank you very much for encouraging the return of balanced discussion to this forum.

It's doesn't involve a product or line of product or stuff people can buy to be supportive of his business. Hence why those of us who know about it are keeping it to ourselves because Sean probably won't be mentioning it any time soon or at all.

Oh and Catherine also writes columns for glamour.com (2 so far) and does marketing/design work for a few other companies. They clearly work hard even if some, especially social media, question if they ever work. Both of them have flexible job schedules so it's nice for them with the traveling they do for appearances, vacation, or say friends' weddings.

I have plenty of friends who's work would not benefit from anyone buying their product or  supporting their initiatives, but they aren't secretive about it either (hospice nurse, office administrator, civil engineer, etc.)
Well it sounds like he's working for the CIA - but even they would give him a decent cover story.  
Well it's nice that they got enough money from ABC to be able to buy a house.   I'm sure it'll be beautiful.

If you haven't checked it out, Sean's sister Shay's blogs are great. I especially like the food one although enjoy the info about clothes. My youngest son is very picky & has liked the recipes I've tried. They're very easy and kid friendly. http://www.mixandmatchmama.blogspot.com/   http://shullfamily.blogspot.com/

It's good that Sean & Catherine are settling into life at Dallas now that the wedding hoopla is over. They both seem to be keeping busy.
