EP 180. AI is a Tool Stop letting it Replace you

You don’t need another qualification or more experience to get paid more and I'll prove it in this episode.This week I’m joined by Lola Chél, host of The Model Made Podcast & Dean of Model University, to talk about how your experience & skills are already valuable (tbh the issue is usually how you communicate them, not that you don’t have enough).Lola breaks down why modelling isn’t just catwalk or editorial (there are 20 different niches, hear me out) & how finding yours works exactly like finding your lane in your career. I share my own path from early years teaching to HR, & all the ways I got paid along the way using what I already knew: babysitting, connecting babysitters when I couldn’t do the job myself & taking a percentage, youth clubs & holiday schemes, then HR speaking, consulting & my coaching business.Same skills, different packaging and More Money.In this episode we coverWhy you don’t need extra qualifications or experience to get what you wantConnecting the dots so people see why your skills are valuable to themWhy communication is usually the problem, not a lack of experienceFinding your niche to Create your Own Lane Different ways to get paid for what you already knowHow to make what you have look like what they want (& get paid well for it)---Connect with Lola & Model UniversityModel University aims to educate and elevate models to their full potential and pay check.Get started with all of the FREE resources here: https://themodeluniversity.com/resourcesConnect with them anytime on Instagram or TikTok----If you loved the episode leave a review and share it with someone else who could benefit from it.
