Curating the Curious
Welcome to Curating the Curious, the podcast that celebrates staying curious in life and never settling into a box.
This show is for the creators, the seekers, the explorers, the truth tellers….and the forever students of life.
No matter what age or stage you’re currently at, this is not as good as it gets and it is never too late to begin.
Join me as we explore all of the questions that come with the idea of curiosity. A place where the possibilities are endless and you can always start again.
We expand our lives through curiosity. One of my greatest passions is finding ways to encourage and inspire other creatives to keep pushing, sharing, living joyfully, and making things for the world to see. Hosted by a jack-of-all-trades: former inner-city elementary teacher, television actress, LA realtor, wine slinger, waitress, salesperson, family photographer, and forever student of life…me! LeAnna Azzolini. Join me as I introduce you to some of the most curious (and creative) people I've met along the way. Each person that I've chosen to sit down and talk to has affected me on a deeper level. Not only do they create amazing art, but they're out in the world, making waves, living vibrant lives, and expressing their unique gifts. Get ready to be moved and inspired. It's time to take off on this journey and get curious together. Let's go!

Slow Burn with Michael Ash Smith
Today we have Michael Ash Smith from Unvaeled and Mber Creative. Michael wears many hats and this conversation covered it all. In this episode we discussed:
- the backstory of Unvaeled and how his magazine Unvael Journal came to be
- the social media algorithm and why we shouldn’t take low engagement personally
- how to embrace reels and rather than fighting the current (while maintaining your artistic integrity)
- how to begin in analog photography and the beauty of slowing things down
- self portraits and the different ways they can support our ability to interact with clients (most importantly though, the therapeutic side of it all)
This is a good one guys. Take a listen and let me know what you think!
