Season 1 · Episode 13

Friday, August 15, 2025 • Duration 37:00

In this episode of Oh, hi! Stories, my sister Andie and I finally let loose on our favorite topic: the unmatched marketing genius of Taylor Swift. We’re both lifelong marketers (and unapologetic Swifties), so yes—we break down the sensation of TS12, the release of The Life of a Showgirl, and what leaders in any industry can learn from Taylor: how to build loyalty, own your narrative, and keep a brand fresh for decades.

Whether you’re here for the marketing masterclass, the Swiftie fan-girling, or both, you’ll walk away inspired to know your audience and give them something to believe in.

Episode 12 – Tools for Modern Governance with Joseph Porcelli

Season 1 · Episode 12

Monday, July 28, 2025 • Duration 35:01

In this episode of Oh, hi! Stories Podcast, I sit down with Joseph Porcelli, Head of Government and Crisis Response at Nextdoor, for a timely and candid conversation about trust, transparency, and the evolving role of neighborhood networks in civic life.

Joseph and I go way back—and so does our shared belief that connection builds stronger communities. We explore how the new Nextdoor app is helping cities deliver real-time alerts, support local journalism, and surface trusted recommendations with the help of AI.

But this isn’t just about tech. It’s about the humans behind the handles—and what it really takes to meet people where they are. We talk about what local government can learn from customer experience, how to use polls and inbox access to democratize feedback, and why explaining the “why” behind public decisions matters more than ever.

Joseph brings decades of insight from the front lines, from emergency evacuations to neighborhood debates, and reminds us that digital trust starts with real communication. If you care about public engagement, modern govtech, or helping residents feel seen, heard, and included, this episode’s for you.

What happens when the playful world of social media meets the serious business of government?

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 • Duration 35:13

Before leading digital transformation in local government, I spent nearly a decade producing Emmy Award-winning content at MTV. In this episode, I reconnect with my former boss and mentor, Betsy Forhan—a Peabody and Emmy-winning producer who shaped my early career and taught me what bold leadership really looks like.

We talk about the culture of trust that fueled our best work, what governments can learn from documentary storytelling, and why civic engagement depends on more than just information—it requires connection.

This is a conversation about making impact, building teams that believe in the work, and showing up with stories that actually matter.

Episode 9 - Navigating Career Transitions with Sherice Torres

Season 1 · Episode 9

Wednesday, April 23, 2025 • Duration 51:07

In this episode of Oh, hi! Stories Podcast, I sit down with marketing powerhouse and change agent Sherice Torres for an honest, vulnerable conversation about redefining success, walking away from the C-suite, and what it really means to take a radical sabbatical.

For the first time, I open up about my own journey—leaving a job I built and loved to start something new, grappling with burnout, and trying to reclaim my voice, joy, and purpose. Sherice and I talk about what happens when your identity is wrapped in your title, how hard it is to be still when you're wired to keep moving, and why rest can be the most revolutionary thing we do.

Sherice shares what inspired her to step back, the fears she had to overcome, and the new rules she created to guide her sabbatical—built around peace, play, and pleasure. This conversation is for anyone who's hit a turning point, questioned their path, or just needs permission to pause.
