The Secret Business of Modeling | Role Models Podcast ft. Riley Russell

1h 13m | Oct 18, 2025

In this episode of the Role Models Podcast, I sit down with my friend and fellow model, Riley, to talk about the real business behind the modeling industry. We get into:

- How she got scouted through posting selfies on IG

- The importance of aligning with the right agencies

- Branding yourself with your agents

- Balancing modeling with other passions like music, art, and self-care

- Managing time, energy, and your physical body while jumping time zones and castings


This one’s for the models, creatives, and women learning to advocate for themselves while building something bigger.
