Then, Sara sits down with model Austin O’Brien, whose unexpected entrance into the modeling industry all began with a chance encounter. Austin opens up about his journey from newcomer to established model, sharing the highs, lows, and all the weird in-betweens. He talks candidly about navigating a competitive field, the impact of AI on modeling jobs, and why knowing your worth and saying "no" can be just as important as saying "yes." In their engaging conversation, Austin reflects on horror stories with unprofessional photographers, the thrill of working with major brands, and the evolving role of social media and personal branding in a model’s career. He also highlights the importance of community and surrounding yourself with the right support system. As Austin prepares to take his career overseas, he offers grounded, insightful advice for aspiring models hoping to break into the industry with confidence and clarity.
