KINDNESS WARRIORS

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I sit down & talk to "my person" - AKA my soulmate, AKA my best friend, AKA my wife. Carly Roma joins me to talk about her life story before & since we came in to each other's lives. We dive into her coming-out story, her family, her friends, & how she views the ebb & flow of life as we go through it together. 

In her first podcast, & our first interview together, we get weird. We get vulnerable. We get real. And, I wouldn't have it any other way. 

As always, thank you for listening. Stay well, stay safe, & STAY HOME.

In this episode of #BenevolentBanted I catch up with Qassem Naim, Head of Data & Tech at FCB New Zealand, to talk data collection, consumer privacy, & the ad industry's role to play in making our world a safer place. 

By looking into how our data is being collected, communicated, & then conveyed we're able to understand in more depth just where gaps might lie as governments & businesses walk a fine line between consent & creepy information gathering. 

As always, thank you for listening in.

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter, podcast host Cassie Roma delves into a de-cluttering of our newsfeeds, our e-mail inboxes, our minds & our souls by focussing in on 'just one thing.' Because the world seems to be in a kind of Limbo while we all grapple with the effects of a global pandemic & try to understand what our changing times mean to us as individuals & as communities, it makes complete sense to launch the #justonething aspect of Benevolent Banter with a deep-dive into the act of intentionally SLOWING DOWN.

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I am joined by the one & only Logan Dodds.

Huge thanks to Logan for taking the time to talk & connect.

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I am joined by one of the kindest, smartest & funniest humans I know - Nick Boulstridge.  Nick's one of a kind. He's a digital guru, a #kindnesswarrior, a martech sherpa, & an everyday kind of dude/Dad. Thank you for joining Nick & I on our conversational journey to understand humanity, each other, & ourselves more. 

In this special episode I am joined again by Qassem Naim, Head of Data & Tech at FCB New Zealand. In this conversation Q & I touch on a lot of the harder topics facing the world right now when it comes to FFT (f*cking first times) & "leaning into the suck" of change at such a rapid pace. When it comes to forced technology adoption & adaptability at scale, how to businesses & leaders ensure their teams are engaged & well whilst still given the tools & support they need to get their work done as best possible. We dive into genuine connection & content from brands. We wax lyrical about the importance of getting dressed & having a specific work space when working from home (spoiler alert: I am usually in activewear!). And, mostly, we discuss all of the reckons that folks are reckoning about at scale right now. Listen in & let us know what you'd like to hear from us in coming episodes. Thanks in advance for your support - be kind, be well, & STAY THE F HOME.

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I am joined by the amazing Caitlin Taylor of ChasingCait.com. Caitlin is a style coach, an entrepreneur, a magical momma & a personal powerhouse. What a pleasure it was to have Cait on the show to banter about the stuff that matters most - kindness, empathy & finding silver linings during hard time. 

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I had the absolute pleasure of talking to my friend Sonia Sutherland. Holder of my secrets, bringer of all the giggles, & a person who can find a silver lining just about anywhere - Sonia makes my heart & soul smile. Listen in to this episode where we dive into unravellings, breakdowns, motherhood, professionalism, & simply being able to accept who we are & where we are in the current moment. As always, thank you for listening. We welcome your kind, engaged feedback. 

The fabulous Jerry Beale joined me on this episode of #BenevolentBanter to talk leadership. Not some antiquated, droll ideas of leadership - but a modern take on leading leaders with kindness, heart, & self-care at the core of caring for others. I absolutely love talking to Jerry anytime we have a spare moment together, so it's a huge pleasure to share this conversation with you. As always, please do share your polite, kind feedback with us as we navigate being podcast rookies! Thanks, Cassie 

In this episode of #BenevolentBanter I sit down with the amazing theologist & all around bad-ass, Amanda Pilbrow. We talk about The Church, hellfire, redemption, simply accepting others for who they are, & everything else in between. If we're honest, I was super nervous starting out this conversation, but in the end I could've talked to Amanda for days. If the world needs more of anything, it's connection & love. Amanda radiates both of these things. Have a listen & please let me know what you think of this conversation. In kindness, Cassie.
