Devin, Amped Accessories

When I first got sober I had initially thought oh I don’t want anyone to know I’m in rehab, had 3 DUI’s and go to a 12 step program daily. Then it hit me “EVERYONE knew I was drunk (there’s always time for a cocktail) why not let everyone in on my DOBER JOURNEY! Kyle Ruggeri SOBER DOGS shares this philosophy and I’m so encouraged by his outreach, insight and messages of HOPE! I can’t wait for you to know him for the knowledge of another Sober Story lived out loud!Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

 Therapist Virginia Satir says humans need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs for maintenance and 12 for growth. Watch this episode of Auntie with my friends Tracy Crosby & Mikey from The Arc of Monroe and I guarantee you at least two virtual hugs!Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

Do you remember when you were scrolling along swiping breakfast photos, political insanity and generalized negativity and then suddenly without warning you land on someone who is clear, peaceful and positive? For me that person is our next guest Halley! Grab your coffee, sit outside in nature and listen to this wonderfully wise soul!Halley the original Rev thing on instagram!Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

Auntie was created to celebrate the people I meet who inspire me! From the moment I met this generous “old soul” Luciano Capitano I was impressed. Dedicated, kind, hard working and a lousy comedian!Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

What a JOY it was to meet Brandon Brooks Curator-John L Wehle Gallery Genesee Country Village & Museum and to listen to him speak on his research of Drag History.  My journey with teaching Drag Theory, Culture and Performance at SUNY Brockport has challenged me to dig deeper into the roots of the art of Drag and his research and knowledge has been such a valuable resource that I simply had to share a bit with you! Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

JOY - A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.  This perfectly defines my friend Ethylina Canne and I’m so excited to share a conversation of ours with YOU.  Now more than ever we need to seek out happiness, hope and kindness and Ethylina has exuded all of the above since the moment I met her and I’m so proud to have her in my closest circle of friends.  A Christmas tree for every holiday and the bundt cake to go with it the FABULOUS Queen of Palm Springs CA, Ethylina Canne! Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

#117Stand up Comedy is hard! Finding a mentor in comedy was easy.  Todd Youngman has inspired and pushed me to find the confidence and focus to share the truth on stage!  Not only is it quick to remember, it’s relateable and so ridiculous it HAS TO BE TRUE! Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

#116When I first met Devin and team with Amped Accessories I immediately felt a rush of Kindness.  I thought is this the Canadian or is this real life?  Come to find out years later after many interactions and a continued friendship that Devin’s kindness sparkles just like their accessories. Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

I couldn't wait to interview my friend and colleague, Danny Hoskins. I met Danny when he directed the Producers and I played Roger DeBris, I have worked with him many times but we became friends when we developed Imagination Station Live and later the children TV Show. More recently he was my mentor and co-professor in our Drag History, Theory and Performance class at Brockport College.Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

Brock McGillis is my trusted friend.  I’m so very grateful for his guidance and our conversations.  As a child I was first bullied by the athletes in school and I’m inspired by his work to change that narrative for the future of sports one team at a time!Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com
