In this episode, I sat down with Ashley Galiano, Co-Owner and Founder of Reform Pilates. Ashley opened the doors to Reform at only 24 years old, while balancing her corporate job as an audit accountant. We discuss all things pilates — the workout itself, the real cost of opening a studio, and how to build a community that defies the typical pilates stereotype.

In this episode, I sat down with Francesco Mastalia, an Italian-born photographer and author, live from the Amalfi Coast city of Salerno, Italy. Francesco has published 3 books, appearing in Time Magazine, the New York Times, and several other major publications worldwide. We discuss travelling to remote corners of the world to capture otherwise untold stories, how a chance interaction at a friend's wedding brought him to Jamaica with Bob Marley's band "The Wailers," and how moving to Italy has changed his approach to life and love.

This is an unfiltered conversation, covering everything from how to get a study visa, what life looks like in a local Italian city, and thoughts on navigating the twentysomething years.
