How Model Vivien James Survived The Downward Spiral of the Modeling World & Established The Really Real Talk Podcast

Today in the guest chair we welcome Vivien James, a Former Professional Model and Podcast Host of Really Real Talk Podcast based in Hollywood, California. I came across Vivian’s podcast on Instagram by a friendly referral and she requested to interview me. After the interview I wanted to learn more about her. So I requested to cross-interview her and I became instantly hooked to her story! She is passionate about creating episodes her listeners love listening to with her authentic ability to have regular conversations about real hard things while being in the real hard times. The go-getter bug hit her while she was attending a Gary Vaynerchuk speaking event and simultaneously overcoming a failed career as a model and DJ. Prior to podcasting Viven James was on billboards and collaborating with major brands. Even with all the modeling success Viven experienced she was still receiving tons of rejected modeling gigs and terrible experiences with modeling agencies. A podcast was something she suppressed for a while as she was dealing with self-doubt, toxic relationships, and fear of failure . She eventually pivoted to podcasting the Really Real Talk thanks for Gary Vee and even rents her Mercedes for photoshoots today. She has managed to turn her life completely around and getting ready to take a deep dive into her creativity. Could you imagine Vivien doing your photoshoots and teaching you some modeling tricks? I can. To listen to my interview with the Really Real Talk podcast visit Visit the podcast homepage by going to
