Fashion Week looks glamorous from the outside—but behind the runway are castings, callbacks, long waits, tough decisions, and rejection that most people never see.
In this episode of The Model Way Podcast, Lenny Wheeler takes you behind Fashion Week to talk about the realities models face when the cameras aren’t rolling. What happens when you don’t get the callback? How should models handle rejection? And why can one “no” have absolutely nothing to do with your potential?
We break down the business behind Fashion Week, the casting process, professionalism, preparation, confidence, and what models can do after Fashion Week to keep building their careers.
Whether you're an aspiring model, working talent, parent, creative, photographer, or simply curious about what really happens behind the runway, this episode gives you a look at the side of Fashion Week that doesn't always make it onto social media.
In this episode: Fashion Week • Modeling Castings • Rejection • Callbacks • Runway • Model Development • Fashion Industry • Career Advice

The Evolution: Body, Mind & Image
Friday, September 4, 2026 • Duration 16:22
Season 2 of The Model Way Podcast begins with a conversation about evolution—not only in how we look, but in how we think, grow, and present ourselves to the world.
In this episode, Lenny Wheeler explores the connection between the body, the mind, confidence, and personal image. From transformation and discipline to self-perception, self-doubt, and personal growth, this conversation looks at what it really takes to continue evolving through different stages of life, career, and business.
Because real evolution begins internally—but eventually, it changes everything people see externally.
This is more than the beginning of a new season. It's a renewed vision, a new level, and the next chapter of The Model Way Podcast.
Join us throughout Season 2 for conversations about modeling, fashion, business, entrepreneurship, personal development, confidence, image, and the realities behind building a successful life and career.
