About this listen

SummaryIf 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!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). 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. 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.Links!Julie’s website: http://www.fazooli.comJulie’s instagram : https://www.instagram.com/abominableink/ Punk Rock Flea Market : https://www.instagram.com/punkrockfleamarkethamilton/Ian Pettigrew’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianpett/(Home)Made Hamilton Book that Julie and I are in! https://www.gofundme.com/f/home-made-hamilton-book-2 Petition to the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship : https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353Chapters00:00:00 - Intro to the podcast00:02:49 - Introducing Julie Fazooli!00:04:50 - Favourite Things00:09:14 - Talking About Music00:17:18 - Julie’s Early Life Adventures00:20:55 - Preserving Oral Traditions00:24:10 - Cartoons00:29:28 - Underground Comics00:32:14 - Navigating the Entertainment Industry00:43:24 - Punk Rock Flea Market00:45:15 - The Importance of Supporting Local Businesses00:49:00 - Voting with Your Dollar00:50:52 - We Love Hamilton!00:58:46 - We Need to Cultivate Kindness01:04:49 - Media Narratives and “Compassion Fatigue”01:12:51 - The Role of Artists in Society01:14:45 - Take Care of Yourself01:18:37 - Building Positive Neural Pathways01:26:35 - Finding Gratitude in Tough Times01:33:45 - Cultivating Childlike Wonder01:35:07 - The Impact of the Pandemic on Lifestyle01:36:37 - We Love Green Spaces!01:39:28 - (Home)Made Hamilton Book by Ian Pettigrew01:44:44 - Celebrating Local Creatives01:46:42 - Ways to Support Julie01:52:51 - OuttroSound Bites"Tacos, hands down.""The Big Lebowski is the perfect movie.""I love all music.""I want to collect family stories.""I wanted to be a cartoonist.""I was too young and impatient.""Tank Girl spoke to me 100%.""Hollywood sucks the life out of ideas.""It was just so magical.""It was a fun time to be alive.""Hamilton is special that way.""We just got to be kind to each other.""It's all about reframing that stuff.""Count your gratitudes.""Keep supporting local small business."Wanna support Woodbeard?
