On the Come Up with Kimberly Sanchez
The podcast where real conversations meet creative ambition. Every other week, I sit down in person with models, actors, filmmakers, artists, and other creatives to talk about the early steps, setbacks, and breakthroughs that shaped their journey.
We get into everything from pushing past self doubt to building your brand, growing an audience, and trusting your gut in a world that doesn’t always get your vision.
Whether you’re an aspiring model, actor, filmmaker, or just someone chasing a dream, this podcast is your space for honest stories and real-world advice that’ll keep you motivated and moving.
