What this episode covers
In this episode, Zach Randles-Friedman sits down with Myla, a Ukrainian-born DJ, producer, model, and entrepreneur whose career spans fashion, film, music, and wellness. Myla opens up about leaving Ukraine at a young age, modeling internationally without speaking English, and building a life in New York and Los Angeles through persistence and self-belief. She shares how the pandemic became a turning point—leading her to launch an empowerment-focused activewear brand—and how she later returned to her roots in music, stepping boldly into DJing and performing at festivals, Burning Man, and global events. The conversation explores reinvention, discipline, wellness routines, and the importance of giving back, including Myla’s support for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. At its heart, this episode is about trusting your instincts, embracing change, and creating success on your own terms.
