I&#8217;m actually proud to say I&#8217;m a model now. You pay your dues of not being listened to, but now people are starting to say, \u2018Maybe this guy&#8217;s onto something\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And we at Talent Management couldn\u2019t agree more. Every day, companies come to us to find male models for marketing aimed at many different audiences, each one seeking a very specific look.
