PM: You’ve been successful in multiple fields—as a TV personality, model, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. How would you describe your professional journey in one sentence? What motivates you the most?
SL: My journey has been a fearless pursuit of impact through creativity—across media, fashion, and philanthropy—driven by the belief that when you use your voice with purpose, you can change lives.
What motivates me most is creating platforms that give others hope, visibility, and power.
PM: Your show, “The Simonetta Lein Show,” is the leading short-form celebrity talk show in the world. What makes this format especially appealing to you and your audience?
SL: Short-form is the new power format—fast, global, and made for impact. It allows us to share big ideas in digestible moments while still keeping the depth and humanity in each conversation. That’s why it resonates.
PM: Throughout your career, you’ve interviewed celebrities such as Mark Cuban, Danny Trejo, and Candace Cameron Bure. Which conversation has personally inspired you the most—and why?
SL: Each guest has brought something unique, but my interview with Mark Cuban stood out—his clarity, innovation, and refusal to settle for less were incredibly energizing. He reminded me that bold vision is always worth it.
PM: You’ve written the book “Everything Is Possible.” How important is it to you to inspire others through your words and stories?
SL: Inspiration is everything to me—it’s the spark that turns dreams into action. If my story helps even one person believe in their path, then I know I’ve done my job.
PM: As the founder of the Wishwall Foundation, you’re committed to social causes like literacy, poverty, and women’s rights. What inspired you to take this path?
SL: The inspiration came from a simple yet powerful question: What do you wish for? I realized that creating a platform to amplify people’s voices and make those wishes come true was my true calling.
PM: Wishwall also became a TV show available worldwide on platforms like Amazon Prime. How do you experience the transition from philanthropy to entertainment?
SL: It wasn’t a transition—it was a fusion. Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to inspire change, so turning The Wishwall into a show meant that real stories of hope could reach the world.
PM: You’ve been recognized as one of the most influential fashion and social media influencers. How do you see the future of influencer culture—and how important does authenticity remain in that space?
SL: Influencer culture is evolving toward purpose and depth. People want real, not just curated. Authenticity isn’t optional—it’s the currency of trust in a world that’s oversaturated with content.
PM: You’ve collaborated with international designers such as Stevie Boi and Richie Rich. Is there a particular fashion trend or project you’re especially proud of?
SL: I’m proud of every creative moment that tells a story—especially when fashion becomes a statement of strength or culture. Working with visionaries like Stevie Boi and Richie Rich reminded me that fashion is art, rebellion, and power all at once.
PM: As CEO of Ausonia Partners, you run a media and PR agency. How do you balance your creative side with the demands of being an entrepreneur?
SL: I don’t separate the two. Creativity is how I lead, and entrepreneurship is how I scale that vision. The balance comes from surrounding myself with a strong team and staying aligned with my core mission.
PM: You were born in Italy, live in the U.S., and work globally. How does this international perspective shape your thinking, work, and projects?
SL: It’s everything. Being global taught me empathy, adaptability, and how to build bridges between cultures. I create for a global audience because I believe that our stories, struggles, and dreams connect us more than they divide us.
