In this inspiring and heartfelt episode of Embodiment – who YOU are behind closed doors, hosts Ashley Fry and Mano Tsiris sit down with designer and visionary Wayne Mayers, the founder of Modern Artchitect. Wayne takes us on an unfiltered journey through his early life in North York and Scarborough, leaving home at sixteen, and finding solace and inspiration in art and fashion.

He opens up about his first ventures in design, hand-crafting leather goods that took him all the way to Florence, Italy, and shares how a YouTube rabbit hole led him to discover his passion for creation. Wayne dives into the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the lessons learned from starting and ending a luxury bag brand, and how the pandemic became a pivotal moment for building Modern Artchitect.

This episode explores resilience, creative courage, and what it means to wear many hats in the world of fashion. Wayne speaks candidly about working with family, maintaining creative integrity, and how he turned setbacks into setups for his most successful venture yet.

And yes, we get into the origin of "Pasta Papi," his iconic IG handle, and his honorary Italian status! Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or someone dreaming of doing more, this one’s for you.

🔗 Tune in to hear how Wayne is architecting a life—and a brand—rooted in authenticity, meaning, and style.
