What is Modeling Success?

Modeling Success is created to bridge the gap between talent and brand. Putting everything out on the table, addressing current situations and hot unspoken topics that are happening in the industry that need to change. We will address topics such as the models and brand's point of view on industry topics. As well as discussing success in the industry, what it is to be a model and what agencies and brands are looking for when seeking talent. Just because you get paid for pictures does not make you a model. A model is "a system or thing used as an example to follow or imitate". A model is someone or something one aspires to become, someone who works their butt off and is someone people can look up to. This podcast is here to assist Talent in learning pride and true tactics for success in the industry.

I, Rian Donatelli, will use my 25+ years experience within this industry to discuss all these topics and more through conversions and panels with other people in the industry from talent to brand executives to the venues and establishments that we are operating in. We are going to find some hard truths that need to be heard on all fronts.

We're gonna put it all out on the table, addressing situations, topics, experiences, all happening in the industry that need to change. A lot of things behind the scene are going undiscussed, and it's time that we, just put it all out on the table.

Speaker 1: 00:50

So what we will be talking about on modeling success every week is models point of view on industry topics, brand point of view on those industry topics, and we'll be discussing different situations and things that are happening to bridge the gap between those 2. We'll discuss self employed success tips in all capacities. Talking about what is a model, what agencies are looking for, how to identify a good agency for you, how agency identifies if talent's good for them, how to get into this industry, essentials for the job, how to make a proper resume even if you've never had one, how to prepare for photo shoots, how to supply the right photos for every job and booking, preparing for bookings, and finishing the job in full, what that truly entails. There's permits. There's certifications.

Speaker 1: 01:40

There are elements and items that you need in advance to even get considered for that role or position. Although we have the me too movement that's taken place, and now we have equal rights stronger than ever, at the end of the day, now that we have equal rights stronger than ever, at the end of the day, when booking talent or casting, there are certain criterias people are looking for to bring that role or booking to fruition. So talent and brand ambassador have a world of likes and dislikes. We'll be talking about those.

We'll discuss branding and marketing topics, opinions, strategy, and secrets. We will educate talent on how to fully capitalize on all the opportunities that they have access to to bring in additional income, residual income, online income. So when performance opportunities are not the main source of income, they have additional avenues for revenue.
