Wander Well Living

PRESS

Press & Media

Wander Well Living is an independent digital publication and podcast at the intersection of wellness, culture and conscious living.

Founded and curated by Shaka Smith, Wander Well Living covers the people, ideas and experiences shaping how we live now—from film, television and awards season to fitness, vegan food, recovery, sustainability, travel and Los Angeles culture. Our point of view is curious rather than cynical, discerning rather than performative, and rooted in the belief that attention is one of the most meaningful ways we can care for ourselves and the world around us.

For press access, premiere and screening invitations, interviews, FYC events, festivals, product previews and editorial collaborations, contact press@wanderwellliving.com.

OUR EDITORIAL APPROACH

Wander Well Living approaches every assignment with preparation, context and a clear editorial point of view. Coverage may include reported news, interviews, event dispatches, reviews, explainers, trend analysis, buying guides and first-person essays.

We distinguish firsthand reporting from previews and analysis. Attendance is identified when a writer was present; stories based on announcements or other reporting are described accordingly. Quotes are attributed, material facts are checked against primary sources whenever possible, and published work is updated when significant information changes.

Editorial consideration is never guaranteed by an invitation, sample, gift or commercial relationship. Sponsored work is labeled. Affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly before monetized recommendations, and product coverage remains subject to editorial judgment.

ABOUT SHAKA SMITH

Shaka Smith is the founder and editorial voice of Wander Well Living. An actor, attorney, creator, fitness model, bodybuilding competitor and podcast host, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective to conversations about culture, performance and well-being.

Wander Well Living grew from Shaka’s earlier podcast, Fit Club, into a broader editorial platform for interviews, original reporting, thoughtful recommendations and cultural coverage. His work is informed by years spent inside entertainment, fitness and wellness—and by an ongoing interest in what helps people live with greater intention.
