In this fun episode, we welcome my longtime friend and former model Michael Petanaude to my podcast. We discuss the transition from modeling to working behind the camera in production, favorite places to spend money, memorable first dates, and the journey of finding one's passion. Michael shares insights on his new career path in production, addresses his…”questionable” spending habits, and talks about familial relationships and communication.
The episode is a blend of professional growth, personal anecdotes, and humorous stories about life in the world of modeling and beyond.
