Maddy Curley is a badass babe (no but for real, she'll kick your ass and then deadlift it too). She joins Sam to talk about the wild ride that brought her to LA and then following up that big budget Disney feature with the ride of a career in Hollywood. Maddy shares how she eventually made her OWN movie happen (step by step!). She also really opens up about the realities of the body image of this crazy town.
