Breaking the Mold
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.

How to turn songwriting into a career with Hayley Gene Penner
Hayley Gene Penner is a singer-songwriter and author of the book “People You Follow,” a memoir she wrote documenting the inner workings and experience pursuing music in LA.
Along with putting out her albums, she’s also written and created songs with some of my absolute favorite artists like @SabrinaClaudio, @AlinaBaraz, and @SineadHarnett.
And to give you further insight into her memoir “ “People You Follow”, people like @lenadunham described it as:
“ A fucked up Alice in Wonderland journey down the rabbit hole of LA’s most subtly toxic industry, and it’s also funny. Brilliant, coy, playful and wise.
I didn’t fully understand that comparison until I read it for myself, but what a trip she brings you along for.
I’m such a fan of Hayley's work and approach to life. The lessons she’s learned can apply to all of us. And I hope this episode resonates with you the way it did with me. ☺️🎶
