We went out there and we said: well, what, what are we going to do in this? Um, and the slope goes in about different directions and you're, you're right, you're right, and it's not always like: hey, there's a really bad actor or client if you would in in the mix, and they're saying: hey, come to this little warehouse and there's going to be some really sleazy things going on. And most models are going to sign whatever's given put in front of them.

From rigorous background checks to platform verification, AGENT is committed to making the modeling world a safer place. The episode also touches on the traditional power imbalances in the industry and how AGENT aims to level the playing field. By empowering models to take control of their careers, AGENT is setting a new standard for what a modeling platform should be.
