For the first time, we are making the Conversation original TV series interviews available on the pod. This is part of a miniseries featuring the first guests to appear on the show. In this mini-episode, we feature Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley grew up on a farm and began modeling at age 16. She discusses her modeling career as a path to establish herself, see the world, and provide security for herself in the future - and that the journey was not always easy. In this intimate conversation Rosie also shares what it’s like to protect your true self, determine what you want, and find your voice.
