Podcast: #WiththeJoneses – Episode 3 – The OG #Blondetourage

Last week, my bff  Lauren O’Nizzle and I were on the Jones Media Podcast – Keeping Up with the Joneses. It was super fun! If you know Lauren and I or have been on the internet for a long time, you’ll enjoy this. We talk a lot about influencers, brand partnerships, and how social media has changed over the 10 years we’ve been friends. This week on Keeping Up with the Joneses, we have Casie Stewart and Lauren Neil in conversation about starting as OG bloggers, tweet ups, their first paid gigs, how they transitioned into today’s influencer culture and tips for parents on how to engagement their kids in conversations about the internet.  Memory Lane – Stuff Mentioned in Podcast Thanks for tuning in!

Listen While You Work: My Chat on The 416 Show – Episode 15

I recently did an interview/chat on the 416 Show w/ Chris Jones. The show is usually mostly tech so we talked about all kinds of things about blogging, social media, and Toronto. Mentioned that Deadmau5 things with Tim Hortons, the Twitter party, GenYTO, how Twitter’s evolved, smoking on patios, and more. I’m listening to it as I type this and I think you’ll really like it. You’ll laugh a little.  If you’re at the office , throw in your headphones and listen while you work. Here’s the shirt I came up with. Buy it here.
