Happy Awkward Wednesday!!! This week Maria interviews, Rome, LA-based Photographer, Headshot Master of the Stars, Meme Dealer, and Libra King, who you might find working from a beach in Thailand one day! We discuss Rome's career transition, moving from NY to LA at the height of the 2008 recession, the benefits of patience & rest, making the most of what life throws at you, and never forgetting to take care of your friends & loved ones along the way. You can find more of Rome's work at https://photosbyrome.com/ and on IG & Twitter at @ photosbyrome.

Oh hi, didn't see you there for second. Welcome to our very first episode!!! A lot of stuff went wrong like rough audio, notifications going off, and not 1 but 4 internet disconnections, but our guest was and remains perfect! This week on "Everything is Awkward" Maria talks to THE Christian Davis about everything from fashion, weird things bosses have said to us, to pant-less people interrupting meetings. We also cover the significance of people of color in F&B and the hospitality industry. Again, thanks so much for listening because I have no idea what I'm doing, but we're learning together! If you have an awkward or cringey story you would like us to react to on the pod please follow and DM us on Instagram at @ everythingisawkwardpod! Also I'll promise to love you forever if you rate and subscribe wherever you're listening to this now. Again, Love you and Stay Awkward

Welcome to Everything is Awkward. A show that interviews creatives and entrepreneurs about embarrassing & awkward moments that made them. I'm your host Maria Gee, a comedian, screenwriter, endlessly embarrassing human, and all around agent of chaos & fun. I was inspired to create this podcast because awkward things happen to me constantly because I don't have much of a filter as a person, and I'm learning to just lean into it. I also hope that this show helps anyone listening to get over their fears of being embarrassed or failing because we all do stuff that's weird and the concept of perfection is pretend.
