We had the good fortune of connecting with Madison Eckstein and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Madison, what makes you happy? Why?
Lots of things make me happy! My fiancé Jordan, my mom, my family, my friends, content creation, modeling, going on adventures and traveling, food, and so much more. They all just give me so much love and truly fulfill my whole entire life. I am incredibly happy because of these reasons.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well, I am a lifestyle model through Helen Wells Agency. That’s definitely the thing I am most proud of myself for in my whole entire life! While the jobs can be competitive, I’ve learned to just go for it and you never know what will happen. I have had a total of 7 jobs through them this year and I cannot believe it! When I first joined the agency, I asked, “Will I get dropped if I don’t book any jobs?” I didn’t have much faith that I could do it. But now looking at everything I’ve had the pleasure of doing so far, I am so proud of myself!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some restaurants we have to go to are First Watch (I used to work there), Red Robin, Olive Garden, and Longhorn. For drinks, the M Bar is amazing! As far as hanging out, we could go to the museum, to a cafe, to a park, antique/thrift shopping, and so much more! Canton doesn’t have a whole lot but there are some gems here for sure!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My main supporters are Jordan and my mom for sure. Jordan pushed me hard to get into modeling. He pushed me to go to the open call for my agency. He has celebrated every job I have gotten with my agency. He wanted me to get a more flexible job so that I could put my modeling career first. He has always believed in me. And same for my mom! She celebrates everything that comes with my modeling career. She bought the magazines I’ve been in, and has the articles about me hanging on her fridge. Those 2 alone give me so much support! Of course, so does the rest of my family and friends!
