Ep.5 : Julie Fazooli and Her Truly Rad Community
<p><strong>Summary</strong></p><p>If you’re from Hamilton, Ontario, or the surrounding area or even much wider, chances are you know today’s guest, you’ve likely even been to an event she’s running or promoting or providing the soundtrack to or there as a supporter. I’m talking about the one and only Julie Fazooli!</p><p><br /></p><p>Julie is a powerhouse of a human and I had the pleasure of meeting her and getting to chat about life and art and music and tacos! A freelance multi-dimensional creative with roots in Hamilton, Julie’s artistic vision spans across so many disciplines (legit, I struggle to find an artistic discipline she hasn’t tackled and excelled at). </p><p><br /></p><p>We not only dive into Julie’s extensive body of work but also chat about the twists and turns of her personal and professional journey. Plus, we even take a dive into the political and social influences that shape both her art and her worldview. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, but not leastly (did I just make up a word?!), support your local businesses. Regardless of what’s happening out there in the world, your local small business owners deserve your support and your support means a hell of a lot to them.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Links!</strong></p><ul><li><p>Julie’s website:<a href="http://www.fazooli.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> http://www.fazooli.com</a></p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Julie’s instagram :<a href="https://www.instagram.com/abominableink/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.instagram.com/abominableink/</a> </p></li><li><p>Punk Rock Flea Market :<a href="https://www.instagram.com/punkrockfleamarkethamilton/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.instagram.com/punkrockfleamarkethamilton/</a></p></li><li><p>Ian Pettigrew’s Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ianpett/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.instagram.com/ianpett/</a></p></li><li><p>(Home)Made Hamilton Book that Julie and I are in!<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/home-made-hamilton-book-2" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.gofundme.com/f/home-made-hamilton-book-2</a> </p></li><li><p>Petition to the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship :<a href="https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353</a></p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00:00 - Intro to the podcast</p><p>00:02:49 - Introducing Julie Fazooli!</p><p>00:04:50 - Favourite Things</p><p>00:09:14 - Talking About Music</p><p>00:17:18 - Julie’s Early Life Adventures</p><p>00:20:55 - Preserving Oral Traditions</p><p>00:24:10 - Cartoons</p><p>00:29:28 - Underground Comics</p><p>00:32:14 - Navigating the Entertainment Industry</p><p>00:43:24 - Punk Rock Flea Market</p><p>00:45:15 - The Importance of Supporting Local Businesses</p><p>00:49:00 - Voting with Your Dollar</p><p>00:50:52 - We Love Hamilton!</p><p>00:58:46 - We Need to Cultivate Kindness</p><p>01:04:49 - Media Narratives and “Compassion Fatigue”</p><p>01:12:51 - The Role of Artists in Society</p><p>01:14:45 - Take Care of Yourself</p><p>01:18:37 - Building Positive Neural Pathways</p><p>01:26:35 - Finding Gratitude in Tough Times</p><p>01:33:45 - Cultivating Childlike Wonder</p><p>01:35:07 - The Impact of the Pandemic on Lifestyle</p><p>01:36:37 - We Love Green Spaces!</p><p>01:39:28 - (Home)Made Hamilton Book by Ian Pettigrew</p><p>01:44:44 - Celebrating Local Creatives</p><p>01:46:42 - Ways to Support Julie</p><p>01:52:51 - Outtro</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Sound Bites</strong></p><ul><li><p>"Tacos, hands down."</p></li><li><p>"The Big Lebowski is the perfect movie."</p></li><li><p>"I love all music."</p></li><li><p>"I want to collect family stories."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"I wanted to be a cartoonist."</p></li><li><p>"I was too young and impatient."</p></li><li><p>"Tank Girl spoke to me 100%."</p></li><li><p>"Hollywood sucks the life out of ideas."</p></li><li><p>"It was just so magical."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"It was a fun time to be alive."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"Hamilton is special that way."</p></li><li><p>"We just got to be kind to each other."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"It's all about reframing that stuff."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"Count your gratitudes."</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>"Keep supporting local small business."</p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Wanna support Woodbeard?
