Good Charlotte? More like GOOD EPISODE! Jessi is holding space… for Joel Madden in an intimate, personal conversation. What was it like being an icon of the 2000's? How did it feel to be paparazzi fodder? Is he close with his twin? Does he get along with his sister in-law Cameron Diaz? And no offense, but how did he score Nicole Richie? Joel Madden tells ALL and dares to play a game of ‘Never Have I Ever'. Speaking of the 2000's… The OG Laguna Beach cast had their 20 year high school reunion and you'll never guess what they're up to now. Heidi Montag has released XXX-Mas music that puts the ‘Ho' in Ho Ho Ho. The Vanderpump Rules cast was fired and Jessi is feeling SUR-ly about it. Plus is it ok to Facetune your toddler? All that and MTV Canada is officially going off the air. Jessi remembers the channel that made her who she is!Ask Jessi Anything (or suggest Holiday Pop Bops that we might have missed…) HERE: 323-448-0068 Hosted on Acast.

The Canadian comedian Jessi Cruickshank first rose to prominence as the co-host of MTV Canada's “The Hills: The After Show.” Now, she's releasing her first one-hour comedy special, “Minivan Money,” which explores her experience raising three kids. Jessi joins Tom to tell us how comedy helped her cope with some of the toughest parts of motherhood, why she asked her audience to throw their old bras at her, and why she made the decision to pump breast milk on stage.

Personal reunion show!  After sliding  into Jessi's DM's to congratulate her on her first comedy special, Up Close and Too Personal,  it occurred to me that we hadn't spoken in way too long. Jessi and I go back to the naughty noughties, when MTV's Aftershow was just taking shape and they still served hosts and guests (like me) hard liquor during the live broadcast. In this episode, we go allll the way back to those days on the Aftershow couch and chat about her entire career evolution to present day. Jessi is now a mom, writer, host of a hit podcast  (Phone A Friend) and incredibly successful touring comedian. In this episode, we dive into: -  Context and behind the scenes scoop on those early days with MTV Canada- "Incidents" that took place and questionable things I said on air (O.m.gee.) - Her jump from the network over to LA- What gave her to the push to start creating content for the internet- New Mom Who Dis, and the possibility that Justin Trudeau has her on a blacklist - How hosting "thankless" Canadian awards shows evolved into standup - The celebrity she offended too badly to recover from on the Emmy's red carpet and SO much more. Her career has taken her down a wavy road, and she's incredibly entrepreneurial in her approach to everything.  Listen in and let me know what you think. xo E Presented by Fresh. If you have thoughts or feedback to share, we are here for it!

Over the past decade, writer and actor Dan Levy rose to fame for his work on Schitt's Creek. After co-creating the series with his father, Eugene Levy, he turned to a quieter, more personal project. Said project is his heartfelt directorial debut Good Grief (4:40). At the top of our conversation, Dan shares the origin of this story (13:22) and we discuss the importance of friendship (15:18), his experience working as a director (18:30), and a pivotal, full-circle moment from his time in London (20:32). Then, we discuss how he charted his course as a co-host on MTV Canada (28:00), the red carpet experience that clarified his path forward (35:22), and his ultimate arrival at making Schitt's Creek (37:40). On the back-half, we unpack the pure, timeless nature of the hit series (45:25), Dan's journey to making Good Grief after the show's momentous conclusion (49:15), a powerful scene from the film (52:18), the universality of loss (56:40), and the responses that encourage him to continue creating (1:00:00).

In this episode, Bobby shares his passion for puppets, his creative process for writing jokes for himself and Andre, and his inspirations in the world of comedy. We also delve into Bobby's early experiences in comedy, his battle with addiction, and how comedy played a vital role in his journey to sobriety, including the transformative impact of Michael Pollan's book, "Change Your Mind," and the role of psychedelics in his healing.

TRU Beauty Confessions is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts About the Episode:Michelle and Anna discuss what it means to be aligned with self even when it may be difficult to stick to the path, how the idea of beauty shifted for Anna from being called flat chested in Grade 6, to an introduction of beauty in the music industry during the era of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, eventually coming into her own and realizing her light comes from the inside to emphasis the external physical body. We talk about how simple breath can divert not only bad behaviour but bad photos. Anna explains how she was able to begin the reconnection with self and quiet the mental chatter, when a drummer in her band asked her to come to a yoga class. Anna offers simple, accessible yoga poses and breathing techniques to bring oxygen back to the skin, detox the body, and reduce inflammation. Anna allows us into her emotional space and personal growth in a very authentic and meaningful way. Bio:Polish, Canadian, singer, songwriter and performer. She has a smoky-pop voice, animated stage presence, and a sexy one-of-the-boys kind of personality that ranks up there with Gwen Stefani and Debbie Harry. Toronto's own, Anna Cyzon is a bona fide rock star. Born in Krakow Poland, Cyzon came to Canada with her family in 1990. She attended the University of Toronto where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology. Her career in media began publicly when she auditioned for Canadian Idol in 2004. A former Top 20 Idol finalist, MTV Canada host, Cyzon represented her homeland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010, placing second in the pre-selections with her song “Love Me" from herself titled independent debut. She's since followed with the release of a 7 song EP, a full-length Polish and English album, Letters to Love, from which she started releasing singles in 2019. Her highly infectious “Wannabe", a collaboration with British- Canadian producer Alex Reid, can also be heard on Spotify and the music video (shot in Olon, Ecuador) has over 3 million views on YouTube. In December 2018, while finishing writing and recording L2L with long time friend and Toronto producer, La Flamme, Cyzon released “Mistletoe”, an original Christmas song she and La Flamme co-wrote. Following the original, there was also a cover of "Merry Little Christmas" (2019). But it wasn't until 2021 that Cyzon would release her most personal songs yet "Lay Your Body" and "Losing You", about her breakup. In addition, that year, she recorded and released a Polish duet, "Pierwszy Raz" with Pawel Nawrocki, and shot a music video in the city in which she was born. Cyzon is looking forward to continuing to release new material and share music with her fans. "Songs give me purpose. Hope my voice and lyrics resonate with the beat of your heart."Links:Instagram: @annacyzonInstagram: @cyzonyogaWebsite: cyzonmusic.comAbout Your Host Michelle Rosetta (Clinical Herbalist and Owner of BEE23 Natural Beauty)Michelle is a mother of four with over 20 years of experience in the health and beauty industry, inspired by her own sensitivities to synthetic ingredients in personal care products and a deep need to be good to the environment we share this world with.

 How to Leverage Human Connections with Riaz Meghji   Today we are delighted to be speaking with Riaz Meghji, the author of Every Conversation Counts!  Riaz has had a fascinating career! He switched from being a broker to speaking about human connections. He has worked on TV and radio and is also a podcaster and TEDx speaker. He joins us today to tell his story, talk about human connection and share his insights and advice.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's enlightening conversation with Riaz Meghji! Bio: Riaz Meghji is a human connection expert and author of “Every Conversation Counts: The 5 Habits of Human Connection That Build Extraordinary Relationships”. His insights have been featured in Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, and Financial Post. He is also an accomplished broadcaster with 17 years of television hosting experience; he has interviewed experts on current affairs, sports, entertainment, politics, and business.  Riaz has hosted for Citytv's Breakfast Television, MTV Canada, TEDxVancouver, CTV News, and the Toronto International Film Festival. He is a natural storyteller with a proven ability to conduct engaging, in-depth conversations across various disciplines. Off camera, Riaz dedicates himself to philanthropy and causes he cares about, including Canuck Place Children's Hospice and Covenant House. He holds a degree in business from Simon Fraser University and studied leadership communication at Harvard Extension School and the Canadian Management Centre. He lives in Vancouver, B.C., with his wife Lori and son Nico. Riaz's story Riaz's family moved from East Africa to Canada. Twenty years ago, Riaz deviated from his career in finance, took a leap of faith, and followed his passion in the presentation space. Since then, he has interviewed thousands of people as a television host and broadcaster. He has learned something from every conversation!  Human relationships The power of human connection has always intrigued Riaz. He now lives a life of purpose, exploring how to build personal and professional relationships. From finance to becoming a presenter While in the final semester of his finance degree, Riaz did a presentation at an international student organization conference. Afterward, the co-chair took him aside and convinced him that he had something to offer in the presentation space. That person's belief in his potential opened Riaz's eyes to the life he wanted to live. A few months later, he landed his first internship with MTV in Canada.  Coaching Riaz advises people to find a coach and remain coachable. Listen to what they say, and also listen to your intuition. Complacency Avoid becoming complacent because complacency cultivates mediocrity.  A beginner's mindset Riaz entered the craft of presenting intending to retain a beginner's mindset and being his authentic self. A beginner's mindset is about staying open, finding people you respect, and asking them for feedback. Pushing forward Make all your contributions to the best of your ability at any given moment. Have the courage and humility to ask for help. That will push your forward as a speaker or when pursuing something you feel passionate about. Mentorship If you are looking for a mentor, find someone who is committed and cares about you.  Connecting Be intentional about connecting with others. Then strive to be consistent in your behavior until it becomes habitual.  Connecting with others in hybrid meetings As a leader in hybrid meetings, you are managing energy and people. Everyone has their own expectations, so be intentional about checking in with people consistently and getting their feedback. Empathetic curiosity When people with cultural differences get together in a meeting, it's vital for leaders to use empathetic curiosity and ask questions to understand how people show up and react.  Feedback Sometimes, people take honesty the wrong way. That could create a sense of distance. That's why it is necessary to earn credibility and trust before being vulnerable and sharing your thoughts honestly.  Building trust Use empathetic curiosity to build trust in a new relationship. Start the conversation with questions that allow the other person to reflect, open up, and share. After that, check in with them consistently to show you care. Consistency Leaders should consistently provide and receive a steady stream of feedback. Use consistent praise or constructive criticism to let people know that you are invested in their growth and progress. Brainstorming sessions Brainstorming sessions are helpful. They also create opportunities for employees to share their input. Accessibility As a leader, make yourself accessible so that employees know they can always reach you if they need help.  Audience Speakers need to consider their audience when preparing for a presentation. Riaz believes that the best speakers are the best listeners. So he always tries to understand his audience to provide them with maximum value and a memorable experience.  Experience Riaz likes to interview leaders who can participate live on stage in his sessions to role model how to make the experience interactive. Then he allows audience members to share stories about their defining moments.  Storytelling Storytelling is crucial to convey information with emotion. Storytelling also helps the audience interact and lean into what the speaker has to say. Rehearsing Rehearsing is a crucial part of any presentation. It helps to speak out loud and anticipate questions you may be asked. Communicating to strengthen human connection It is important to understand the context in which the people you are communicating with prefer to respond. Ask them how they like to communicate (text, email, or video, for example) when they like to communicate, and how often they prefer to communicate. Then, ask for suggestions so everyone feels like part of the process.  Sending daily voice notes will add a personal touch, show people that you care, and promote loyalty.   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with Riaz Meghji On LinkedIn

During Pride Month, it is so important to us to showcase all sorts of LGBTQIA+ voices! Inspired by MTV Canada's iconic TV show, 1 Girl 5 Gays, this week we've gathered some of our best Queer friends together to chat about love, life, and sex! No topics are off-limits… we talk about fetishes, queerbaiting, and bad sexual encounters!! We were both OBSESSED with 1G5G back when we were probably too young to be watching that programming, and it's so special for us to be able to use this podcast to give Queer people of all shapes and sizes a voice and platform! Though fun and entertaining, 1G5G is slightly problematic when it comes to representing the entire LGBTQIA+ community, so we're doing it the modern and inclusive way!

He is also an accomplished broadcaster with 17 years of television hosting experience; he has interviewed experts on current affairs, sports, entertainment, politics, and business. His on-camera experience not only taught him the power of a candid conversation, but also how to put it into practice. Riaz has hosted for Citytv’s Breakfast Television, MTV Canada, TEDxVancouver, CTV News, and the Toronto International Film Festival. He is a natural storyteller with a proven ability to conduct engaging, in-depth conversations across various disciplines.

The narratives in his books draw on his professional experience and expertise.

He has 17 years of broadcast television experience, and, during his time as host on Citytv’s Breakfast Television, MTV Canada, TEDxVancouver, CTV News, and the Toronto International Film Festival, has interviewed thousands of experts about human connection and collaboration, undertaking critical training that helped shape the tangible takeaways he shares to make in his new book, Every Conversation Counts.

I first met Riaz Meghji on stage, in front of thousands of people, when he introduced me as a speaker at fundraising event. Since that day 8 years ago, I am grateful to be able to call him a friend. Riaz has spent 17 years as a broadcaster and host of Citytv's Breakfast Television, CTV News and MTV Canada. As I became his friend, I came to realize that his on camera personality is the same as his off camera personality. 2 years ago Riaz set aside his successful career to fulfil his calling to help humans develop more meaningful connections at a time when so many forces are trying to divide. He didn't realize at the time of launching his new career, how much we would need what he had to share. Join in on this intimate conversation where in Riaz's words he "shares more personal stories than in any other interview". To learn more about Riaz or to order a copy of his book go to Riaz Meghji | Every Conversation Counts.

She got her BA in Communications from Simon Fraser University, which led her into a career in marketing and producing. The journey wasn't all sunny — Natasha opens up about how she overcame her mental health struggles with depression and presenteeism, the condition when you're physically present at work but not able to be productive.

He's going to focus on intentional connection as opposed to being on autopilot while going about his daily life.  [04:58] We talk about taking the opportunity to explore and discover something new through conversation and intentional connections.  [05:31] Riaz wants to understand the impact he has and be open to learn from others. He was fortunate enough to do this in broadcasting for 17 years. Now he's lucky enough to spread his ideas by writing about them.  [06:38] Most of us are now learning how to create a profound connection while looking into a web camera.  [07:00] Skills that have served Riaz include knowing to forget about himself. Turn the camera off and look into the lens like you are speaking to one person. He asks how he can cultivate a service mentality.  [09:28] Speak in singular in a virtual world or on stage.  [11:19] There's an opportunity to create a deeper connection in a virtual space, because every audience member has a front row seat to what you are saying. [12:26] Engage with people right out of the gate with a question.  [14:57] People want candid moments through the camera.  [17:32] Always make people feel famous. Riaz has interviewed thousands of guests over the years. Everyone wants a champion in their corner. People want to feel recognized, appreciated, and valued. [18:14] Making someone feel appreciated comes down to the power of praise. Make it specific.  [20:32] Riaz has five tips to make people feel famous. The first one is to document their details. People give you clues as to who they are. Documenting and remembering something important about a person creates respect and trust.  [25:01] Take notes and write down three things about the person that you can reference later. [27:11] Tip number two is remember their name. Riaz shares a story about the importance of remembering people's names. A tip is to focus, comment, and employ. Use their name three times in the first conversation. [31:20] Give them access. People love the behind the scenes things the best. Use social media and pull back the curtain.  [37:34] Show unsolicited appreciation. Surprise someone with appreciation when it's not expected.  [39:48] Shift your brain with the three words I get to. Start your day with three things that you are grateful for. Operate from a place of gratitude not obligation. [44:03] We have the power to teach, inspire, or destroy a person. It's a choice what we do. [44:51] Riaz absolutely rocks the Rapid Round.    Guest Contact –   Riaz Meghji Every Conversation Counts: The 5 Habits of Human Connection that Build Extraordinary Relationships Riaz Meghji Twitter Riaz Meghji Instagram Riaz Meghji YouTube #EveryConversationCounts: Riaz Meghji at TEDxSFU   Contact Jeffrey – Website Coaching support My book, LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible is now available!

What if you could ask powerful questions that create breakthrough moments? Lead by listening, and remove your distractions? Put aside your perfect persona and engage others on a deeper level?If all these possibilities sound inviting, why are we so connected, and yet so alone—and how can we reconnect?My guest Riaz Meghji digs deep into the reality that we all crave connection. We were never meant to live alone, or communicate only in “likes” and retweets. Riaz shares personal insights from powerful interviews in his 17+ years of on-air experience hosting Citytv's Breakfast Television, MTV Canada, TEDxVancouver, CTV News, and more. In his book ‘Every Conversation Counts - The 5 Habits of Human Connection That Build Extraordinary Relationships', Riaz points to a new way forward for a better future—one in which we express genuine curiosity about others, listen with our whole hearts, show up as our authentic selves, and make every conversation count.Takeaways from this episode with Riaz include:Why we must go into every conversation with a ‘beginners mindset', especially with those who we are closest to in life. Ways to become better at listening without distraction.People don't lack disciple, they lack necessity.Why 'discover don't dismiss' will be your new mantra. Why asking the right questions can be much more effective than diagnosing or fixing someones problem.How excuses show up in our lives, and how to recognize them in the moment. For more on Riaz,  follow @riazmeghji on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Listen to Hooked On Habits on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Podcast Addict, and Stitcher. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review!

Berättelsen om ett liv och en karriär som blev alldeles för kort. Det är tidig morgon i Camden, i Norra London. På gatan utanför ett hus står en grupp män. Det är sommar men männen har jackor på sig, efter timmar utomhus. I varje mans hand är en kamera med ett stort objektiv. Fotograferna utbyter cigaretter och halvhjärtade skämt om objektivens längd. Stämningen är uppsluppen. För de väntar på något. Något, eller snarare, någon. De kallar henne för råttfångaren i Camden, efter sagan om den karismastiske råttfångaren som kunde locka alla med sig med sin vackra musik. Inne i huset sitter den 24-åriga Amy Winehouse. Hon har varit uppe hela natten medan paparazzifotograferna har väntat spänt. Amy har just vunnit fem grammys men hennes lägenhet skvallrar om ett annat liv än hos en framgångsrik sångerska. På golvet ligger chipspåsar, cigarettfimpar och folie. Tre år senare hittas Amy Winehouse död i sin lägenhet. Hon blir 27 år gammal. Det här är historien om en artist som anses vara en gammal själ och samtidigt - en helt ny typ av artist. Hon låter afroamerikansk, är brittisk-judisk. Hon är ung och har samtidigt en röst som låter som att hon har levt ett helt liv. Hon sjunger sofistikerat men pratar rått. Amy Winehouse musik blir odödlig eftersom hon är musikaliskt mjuk men textmässigt elak. En dokumentär av Vendela Lundberg Producent:  Axel Winqvist Exekutiv Producent: Ulla Svensson Tekniker: Fredrik Nilsson Programmet är en produktion från Tredje Statsmakten Media Ljudklippen i dokumentären är hämtade från: Avrotros, Tim Chippings youtube-kanal, Warner Bros Anderson, Radio Eins, Associated Press, BBC Newsnight, Asif Kapadias "Amy", Vlad TV, Channel 4:s Popworld, RTE, BBC Fours Back to Black, Channel 5, MTV Canada, NTR, TruTvs Star Jones, CBS 2008 Grammy Awards, ITVs Evening News, Channel 4 My Daughter Amy, Global Radio och CNN News.

In this interview I had a chat with Johnny Hockin where we talk about when he worked on MTV interviewing famous actors like George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Hugh Jackman and Tommy Lee Jones. Not all of them were easy to talk to but some were really a pleasure. Johnny Hockin is a Toronto-based producer and filmmaker. While working as a correspondent at MTV News, he co-created and hosted MTV Movie Night for MTV Canada, which aired on CTV. In 2011, he produced the viral fan film Tron: Destiny which has almost 4 million views. Johnny left MTV to form Juniper Island Productions, where in 2013 he produced the BravoFact short Manifold with director Anthony Scott Burns. Manifold starred Stephen McHattie, premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, and garnered 200,000 views and a Vimeo staff pick. He has worked as a commercial producer and director with clients including Red Bull, Soho House and Vice Media.- IMDb Mini Biography By: B.

My guest today is makeup artist Lucky Bromhead who spends a lot of time with the gang from Schitt’s Creek, as the personal makeup artist to Catherine O'Hara and Annie Murphy. Lucky and I used to work together many years ago at MAC Cosmetics where she was a trainer. She has worked backstage at Toronto Fashion Week, Fashion Cares, the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and as head of make up at MTV Canada. Lucky has had the pleasure of working with Bono, Kanye West, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Alessia Cara, Daniel Levy and many more. During our conversation, she gives valuable advice on makeup for actors on auditions and for headshots and for musicians about being authentic. She shares her journey as an entrepreneur in the arts. We have a great discussion about creativity, and following your passions. Takeaways: Treat every single person with kindness and respect. Auditions - Depends on where you are in your career. If you are starting out you want to be a blank slate. You want to show them that you are easy to direct. You can add a little flavour of the character you are going out for but keep it subtle. Musicians or performers – her advice mirrors mine in that it is important to be authentic with who you are as an artist. Be vocal with the image team about what you want and don’t do anything that you are uncomfortable with. Building a community, not just with clients but more so with your fellow artists, although they may be your greatest competition they are also your greatest allies. What freelancing has taught her is that the future being unknown is a gift. The future being unknown can take on any shape and the potential for that is astonishing, terrifying and exhilarating. Freelancing taught her to embrace that. http://www.luckymakeup.ca Detailed show notes: http://dianefoy.com/004

Lauren Toyota is a former MTV Canada host and a YouTube sensation. Her channel and blog, Hot For Food, attract a wide and engaged audience of young people curious about how to make vegan food fast and fun. In less than two years, her YouTube channel has gained 330,000 subscribers. She lives in Toronto, Canada.  Her cookbook, Vegan Comfort Classics: 101 Recipes To Feed Your Face (Coming out February 27, 2018), is a fun and irreverent take on vegan comfort food that’s saucy, sweet, sassy, and most definitely deep-fried. Lauren's life back then wasn't so easy.  She used to be bullied for being mixed race which made her feel isolated.  It was in those moments of isolation that she was able to discover her inner voice that gave her the confidence to become her true self.   Check out thetaoofselfconfidence.com for show notes of Lauren's episode, Lauren's website, resources, gifts and so much more.
