About this podcast
Breaking the Mold is not just a podcast; it's a dialogue at the intersection of art, life, and possibility. Curated by Alysa Scanzano, consider each episode a limited edition—unrepeatable conversations with visionaries who've shattered conventional frameworks.
From the philosophical to the tactical, from art to inner wellness, we're deconstructing societal constructs and remixing them into something uniquely our own. This is a space where the listener becomes a collaborator, where you're invited to question, learn, and redefine your own boundaries.
