The Smart Self Podcast: Recent Episodes
Juliana Trichilo Cina
I'm Juliana.
With lockdowns & remote work, I miss people. People like you... smart people, those I haven't talked to in forever & those I've yet to meet. There's no need for anyone to be bored or lonely. If you're looking for something entertaining & real to distract you, you've come to the right place.
If you want to... -engage with hot topics without the hate -feel like you're chatting with old friends, or -meet & make new friends ...The Smart Self Podcast is for you.
Clever, casual conversations... like a regular Friday night at my house, pre-pandemic.
Come hang out!
F*ck 'em!
Got your attention?
Good! Because this is important...
What if there's no one else to blame?
What if you are the only thing holding you back?
What if you're uniquely capable of serving a necessary purpose?
What if you're missing your chance to make your impact?
What if there are countless human beings who need your contribution?
Tonight we're talking about finding your joy, fulfilling your purpose, and owning your drive.
My friend, @Brigitte Tritt, brings the goods. I bring the questions. You bring the drinks. See you... Now!
RECORDED LIVE: Sex toys & tax season... Do you see the connection?
These Canadians did!
As Chief Creative Officer of The Local Collective, Matthew Litzinger and his team developed a campaign for PinkCherry.ca that straddles the chasm between playful and prudish.
The campaign offers comical fodder for its sex-aware target audience, while also respecting the sensitivities of those who prefer all things PG.
Vividly promoting sex in the context of tax season without saying the word "sex" at all...that's not just great #advertising, it's art.
The brilliance of our Canadian creatives doesn't start or end here...
The Garden, one of Canada's top independent creative and brand strategy agencies, set a new tone with the highly acclaimed "Scream Your Own Name" ad.
Hailed by AdWeek as the "Best-Written Billboard of 2019," it surprisingly received no complaints in spite of its highly visible location (along a main artery into Toronto).
This campaign was not only celebrated as a statement about female empowerment, it did its #marketing job too. PinkCherry's bottom line saw the benefits with an impactful 360% uplift in #sales on the featured product.
Join us as we talk about incredible copy, women's empowerment & the creative process!
Smart Self Live - Friday Night Hang Out with JTC
This week I'm reconnecting with an old friend! I went to high school with Joshua McNamara in the 90s (Ahhhhhhh!) and we lost touch about 15 years ago. In that time, we built careers & started families. And, like kindred spirits do, we're reconnecting.
Joshua works in law enforcement, is an awesome & proud dad, and is one of those guys people just love.
Tonight at 7pm EST we'll be LIVE discussing career choices, parenting, & life lessons. There is literally no better place to be tonight! Join us.
#SmartSelf Friday Night Hang Out with Juliana
I'm very excited about my Friday night guest!
I'm actually interviewing my dad, Vincenzo. He was a resistant guest to snag. But it is happening! We'll be talking about ...
Growing up in Italy after WW2
Learning his trade & starting door to door
Immigrating to North America
Launching & succeeding in small business
As a humble but successful business owner, he's never had the chance to tell his origin & business stories publically. The gems, the grit, the perspective... It's a really powerful story about self-determination & innovating from nothing in the midst of poverty, discrimination & more!
I'm hanging with Alexandra Latter!
Alex is a former colleague and a great friend. We haven't chatted in a while and needed to catch up. Why not do that LIVE and PUBLICALLY, so we can be scrutinized by all?! Let the scrutiny begin!
... Alex was there for me during a dark time in my life... supportive in all the right ways. I was honoured to be Alex's Bridesmaid this past summer, in one of the most intimate and amazingly fun weddings I've ever been to! ...
More than that, Alex is a smart cookie, with a Hon.B.A. in Sexuality Studies with a concurrent certificate in Gender & Women's Studies. While we had no specific agenda, it's perhaps unsurprising that we discussed feminism, marriage, the Pro-Choice/Life debate and much, much more! We had fun, had live audience engagement, AND want to share our hang out with you. If you're craving some social and smart company, listen in!
