This week I'm talking with the head of digital marketing for Avon, Lynn Luong. Regardless if you’re a small buisness or a large corporation we are all dealing with the same issue when it comes to marketing, how to keep our audience engaged. It was great to sit down with Lynn and discuss some of the strategies she utilizes to help grow Avon’s customer base in this new digital era, where we are all trying to beat the algorithm. The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers. They do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of Avon, its parent, partners or affiliates.
This week I'm talking with two software developers who happen to be my old band mates, Justin Craig-Kuhn and Dan VerWeire. I've done one previous episode on Ai but after talking to Justin last time he was in town I thought it would be good to revisit the topic with two people who understand this technology way more than myself. I must admit I am treading water most of this conversation but I believe it's important that we all understand what we can about this technology and how it will effect our future.
This week I'm in Toronto With Toastoro. It's Toastoro's first time to Toronto so we met up with Urban Ninja and Sketch Rat two great local street artists to give us the lowdown on the scene and show us around. It's been a year since I interviewed Urban Ninja So It was great to able to catch up with him and see what he's been working on.
This week I'm talking with artist Jackie E. Davis creator of the comic Underpants and Overbites. We're talking about how she developed her series and drawing style. How things have changed since she became a mother and how she continues to create interesting storylines for her comics.
This week I'm in Syracuse NY talking with Marianna and Michael from Midoma. It's been four years since they closed the doors of their midtown Manhattan salon and gallery and moved to Syracuse. So I thought I would take the drive and see some of the new art projects they have been working on and get a peek at their new gallery Art Haus SYR which is opening soon.
This week I'm talking to actor, director, writer and Rochester based Real Estate agent Filipa Rodrigues Abreu. We're discussing what brought her from Portugal to NY.

This week I’m talking with Toastoro about our most recent travels, my trip to New Orleans and his trip to Tokyo.
This week I’m talking to life long clown, Clown Kong. Clown Kong’s career in clowning started in the 1980’s when he attended Ringling Brothers Clown College. He then spent two years on the road with Ringling Brothers traveling 11 months out of the year. But his latest iteration of clowning, Clown Kong was created when he moved to NYC in 2002. It was great to talk with Clown Kong about his experience in the circus and how this type of clowning differs from what he does with Clown Kong.

This week I’m talking with my good friend Matt Marialke. After recently loosing my grandmother and dealing with a number of nurses during her final months I thought I would sit down with my friend Matt who has been a nurse for over 20 years. We’re taking about loss, healthcare, why he became a nurse and how he continues to love this profession after so many years.
This week I’m talking with street artist Fire Flower. I first started seeing Fire flower’s work on the streets of NYC in 2019.
