Show notes

In this empowering episode of The Model Way Podcast, host Lenny Wheeler sits down with model Alex Strawn to share the raw, real journey from student to runway.

At just 14, Alex dipped her toes into the modeling world, balancing school and castings while navigating the uncertainty of youth. Modeling was never her main focus—until a chance meeting with Lenny changed everything. Now, she’s opening up about the challenges, turning points, and what it really takes to chase a dream in an industry that doesn’t always play fair.

Get ready for a bold, honest conversation about ambition, resilience, and redefining what it means to be a model today.
