Ever wonder how a new model goes from posting beach shots to landing paid shoots and brand trips without losing herself? Kace joins us for a candid, funny, and grounded conversation about building a modeling career from scratch in Hawaii—no agencies, no shortcuts, just consistent posting, smart tagging, and a clear sense of purpose. She walks us through what “pose with a purpose” actually means, how she vets photographers with her mom‑manager, and why not every gig needs to be cash if it strategically builds portfolio and access.
We also get into the dating side of a public‑facing life. Kace’s standards are simple and strong: effort, respect, and a good attitude. She won’t pause her career to soothe someone’s insecurity, and she explains why support and compromise are the bedrock of any relationship with a traveling creative. Expect real talk on chivalry, materialism myths, and the messy line between being social and being “flirty.” When she truly likes someone, she admits she gets quieter—proof that attraction bends behavior, and that clear signals beat guesses.
Finally, we unpack intuition, boundaries, and conflict. From shutting down strangers filming on set to keeping disagreements private, Kace shows what emotional intelligence looks like day to day: notice your feelings, pause before you speak, and pick the outcome you actually want. We touch on friends‑with‑benefits pitfalls, wing‑woman strategies, and how group dynamics play out in clubs and DMs. If you’re trying to start modeling, navigate brand deals, or date someone who’s building a creative career, this one gives you a playbook and a spine.
