  • 73 - Marketing in the Neurodivergent Mind | Rebecca Bruzzese

    In this thought-provoking episode of our marketing podcast, we dive deep into the world of neurodiversity and its impact on the marketing landscape. Our guest, an accomplished marketing professional with a neurodiverse background, shares their unique journey of nurturing creativity and achieving success in marketing before it became the powerhouse industry it is today.


    While often viewed unfavourably, “Jack of All Trades” is a title that Toronto based creative, Rebecca Bruzzese, wears proudly. Growing up, Rebecca's teachers constantly told her to “focus” and “specialize” in what she was passionate about. As a neurodivergent individual, those “passions” were merely that week’s hyper-fixation, and her career path wasn’t as clear-cut as she had hoped it would be - so she forged her own.


    As a visual artist, Rebecca has dabbled in most artistic mediums, while excelling most notably at calligraphy and painting under her brand Becca Makes. She blends traditional alternative art styles and vibrant colour palettes with various contemporary mediums to create striking and original works of art that push the boundaries of what is deemed “normal” - a common theme across her artistic and professional career.


    Rebecca’s creativity extends beyond the art world, and was the foundation for building her professional career as a Marketing Strategist.

  • 71 The Perfect Recipe: Crafting Your Personal Brand & Flourishing on Platforms | Janna Estrada

    My name is Janna. I am the founder of Jannabakes incorporated! I started the business in 2016 and was running it part time for 5 years. I took a year and a half off beginning of COVID because I was burnt out and wanted to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. After a year of healing, I started a 9-5, and I found myself feeling very unfulfilled. In 2022, I started coming up with ideas of niching down jannabakes, figuring out what I actually want to create, and my passion for baking was reignited. So January 2023, I quit my 9-5 to go all in with my business. The last 3 months have been extremely eye opening and I am extremely scared and excited for what this year will bring me.

  • 69 - Cultivating Creativity: The Intersection of Art and Entrepreneurship | Florencia Alba Moreno

    Paper can be as strong as a rock or as delicate as a flower, it can be folded, cut, glued, painted in infinite ways, it can be found in thousands of colours and textures. Paper designer and craft engineer, Florencia Alba hasn’t found a thing that can’t be expressed through paper. She is endlessly mesmerized with the transformation of plain sheets into all kinds of shapes and figures and with the power of her hands to translate an idea into something tangible.


    With six years of experience, three years in Mexico where she is from, three years in Toronto and almost a year in Ottawa where she is based, she has worked with music festivals, malls, jewellers, boutiques, photographers, event planners, hotels, cosmetic brands and tech companies. Specializing in customized interior decoration for commercial spaces and window dressing. It’s incredible how a piece of paper can share a whole story without writing a word on it.
