I’m having another Friday eve mini hangout at my place. And this time I took five seconds to draw a logo for it on an envelope. Plus, we’ll have some food made by a chef! Last week, only my neighbor Kathleen showed up. But she brought pizza. And we Facebook Live'd with the masses for almost 2 hours. She's going out of town for the next few weeks, so this will be the last Friday night with her for a while. Meanwhile, Marie, a chef I met at a streetcar stop, just messaged that she's making some food, and is putting icing on buns. I love when women put icing on my buns! So, yah, if you want to, drop by for a casual hangout, and bring anything you want to eat or drink. Or watch the festivities on Facebook Live. See the invite details on my Facebook. 🎉 #Toronto #party #vlog #socialmedia #chef #cinnamonbuns I am a: #entrepreneur #influencer #minimalist #environmentalist #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #voiceactor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #screenwriter #filmcritic #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

Nov 16: Thanks to @tiff_net for the @smwitoronto behind-the-scenes tour of TIFF Bell Lightbox. I live above the building but was unaware of the offices and projection rooms beneath me. I’m like a shamefully ignorant Phantom of the Opera.

I just had a fun adventure where I tagged @secondcupqueenst in my Instagram Story and they replied back right away and the cashier @thairjkawaii told me it’s her boss @nutrinadiaa sending the messages. A thrilling mystery! I was walking back from the Nathan Phillips Square Christmas tree lighting with my neighbor Kathleen and she wanted to warm up with a hot chocolate in @sbuxqueenjohn but I suggested @secondcupcanada because I like to support a Canadian company. (Sorry, @starbuckscanada! I still appreciate the free birthday smoothie last week!) Who knew that patriotism would lead to making great new friends? The Christmas spirit is filling my life with joy! And I’m Jewish! (Extra note: On the walk back, Kathleen noted that I see the world differently and she loves watching my observations. She says she never would’ve noticed the little chalkboard sign with the store’s Instagram username on it. Well, I’m glad technology is letting me share my little thoughts to entertain people. Years ago, when I was shooting a commercial in Miami, the director said he wished he could follow me around all day and film me giving my observations about everything. And now technology actually lets me do that. It’s an amazing time to be alive.) 🇨🇦 ☕️ #Toronto #Canada #Canadian #Christmas #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #coffeeshop #hotchocolate #vlog #smallbusiness I am a: #entrepreneur #influencer #minimalist #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

Nov 11: My family gave me their fortune cookie fortunes. I like the idea of being influential. I’m not sure who told the cookie that I’m organized, thought. 🍪 I was in Ottawa for my birthday weekend, and the night before my bday, my family took me for Chinese food. I didn’t need the fortune cookies to tell me I’m fortunate! (And I’m also lucky that almost everyone at the table can be tagged on Instagram. I like to think it’s my influence.) 🍀 #Ottawa #restaurant #Chinese #ChineseFood #birthday #travel #tourism #family I am: #influencer #entrepreneur #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #voiceactor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #screenwriter #filmcritic #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

Ran into @veganpamela at the expo. She used to work for my mom @louiserachlis, who was editor of special sections at @ottawacitizen. Pam thought it was amazing that we’ve been connected on social media for 10 years but never met in person, and we recognized each other right away. She reminded me how years ago she asked me to MC the opening of the Terra eco-friendly store in Ottawa. For some reason I didn’t make the trip up to Ottawa. And she pointed out a radio host woman at the expo who replaced me as the MC. ♻️ Background story: On Nov. 11, while I was in Ottawa for my birthday weekend, I went to visit my friend @hollywarnerhealth at @kathyissmart’s @livethesmartway expo at @centreshawcentre.

My selfie with @revivelifetm! I didn’t get an interview with them. (Maybe because the owner wasn’t around. A few booths told me that they didn’t want to do an interview unless the top person was there to give their expert opinion.) So I don’t know exactly what they do. But the poster says weight optimization. And that sounds good to me. I want to fit into my skinny pants. Also, they have their social media usernames and #revivelife and #HPL hashtags in a frame, which makes it super easy for me. So I trust them with my weight. Hopefully they make optimizing my weight just as easy. Oh, and I see that their little sign says tagging them can win me a free consult. I’m crossing my fat fingers! 🤞🏻Background story: On Nov. 11, while I was in #Ottawa for my birthday weekend, I went to visit my friend @hollywarnerhealth at @kathyissmart’s @livethesmartway expo at @centreshawcentre.

Clip from Nov 1, when I gave my election speech running for the board of directors of a charity called Friends of Glendon, at my old school @glendoncampus. (Full speech is on my YouTube.) I’ve been on the board for 5 years and sometimes we don’t have enough candidates to need elections. But this year we did, which is exciting. Being a @glendonalumni has me often reminiscing about those amazing years living on campus. But I guess I should live in the present. So if anyone else wants me to volunteer for their charity, let me know! 🌳 ❤️ #Toronto #charity #politics #election #university #nostalgia I am: #entrepreneur #influencer #minimalist #socialmediaexpert #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #voiceactor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #screenwriter #filmcritic #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

A clip from Nov 10, when I filmed my sister @dianarachlis showing us her workout. Watch for the full video on my Facebook or follow her Facebook page. Here’s what I wrote with the photo of us at the gym on that day: Yesterday my sister took me to @ottawa_ymca with her guest pass and we both worked out. She has Parkinson’s (and is Celiac, so can’t eat gluten) and she goes to the gym around 6am every morning. She knows that exercising and eating healthy will keep her at her best, and so she does it! No excuses! I made a Facebook Page and YouTube Channel for her, where she shares her daily health tips. And I’ll soon edit and post a video I shot yesterday of her showing me her workout routine! Also, she said I look like I’ve lost weight, but she’s wondering how to tell someone that without implying they were fat before. But I know I was (and am) fat, so I’m fine to hear that I’m getting less fat. 🤣 💪🏻 #Parkinsons #fitness #nutrition #health #Ottawa #celiac #gym I am a: #influencer #entrepreneur #minimalist #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #voiceactor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #screenwriter #filmcritic #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

Outside the #DGCawards, I met actress @laraamersey, from the classic show #MonsterWarriors. She said she’d love to be a guest on my Celebrity Josh podcast. So I’d better contact her to set a date. I just hope she doesn’t mistake me for a monster! @jaz16paige14 - a producer on @cardinalctv - also said she’d come on!

I interviewed @cody.j__ , who was doing interviews for @etalkctv at the #DGCawards. I wanted his tips on getting my dream job. But unfortunately I’m 20 years too late to be a recent graduate and intern. See the full interview on my Facebook and YouTube.

I interviewed my comedy idol, @mrseancullen, about the song he prepared for the #DGCawards, based on the #metoo movement. He also told me his Halloween costume plan - His daughter was going as Evie from Descendants, and he was going as his daughter’s dad. Watch the full interview on my YouTube & Facebook.

I interviewed @reitcatou - creator/star of @cbc’s @workinmoms - and her co-producer/husband @pzsternberg. They revealed they were going as Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze from Ghost, and as you can see on Catherine’s Instagram, their description was dead on (no pun intended).

I rambled between interviews, to have extra content, because Charlene from eBOSS likes my vlogging, and wound up talking to @angelenabonet some more, this time about her beadazzled mic flag. Watch for the full interview on my YouTube & Facebook. The background: Saturday, Oct.28: @ebosscanada sent me to the @dgctalent #DGCawards at @thecarlu to interview the stars. @zest29 agreed to come film me, just like she did at @tiff_net. eBOSS has already posted a compilation. And now I finally have a minute to start posting the material. I have to decide whether to post my vlogging like this stuff, or just post the celebrity interviews. I guess I’ll post the vlogging on here - as I’m going through it all, watching it for the first time - and then decide what should go on YouTube. 🎤 ⭐️ #Toronto #Ontario #vlog #cdnfilm #cdntv #celebrity I am a: #influencer #entrepreneur #director #celebrityinterviewer #entertainmentreporter #radiohost #tvhost #comedian #actor #voiceactor #singersongwriter #cartoonist #screenwriter #filmcritic #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #foodblogger #entertainmentblogger #fashionblogger #mommyblogger #YouTuber #podcaster #digitalnomad

My interview with @officialmarywalsh - #DGCawards host & @cbc @thishourhas22minutes comedy legend - started as smoothly as any of my interviews and/or @Tinder dates - In other words, very awkwardly.

Raquel & I admire @angelenabonet doing interviews on the red carpet, and bemoan the fact that she’s so much cooler than us. Then I realize Raquel is as neurotic as me, and so we’re just making things worse for each other. Also, this stupid mic isn’t plugged in properly so it’s not working!

Fortunately, it looks like I stuck it in better when I started doing interviews.

This @smwitoronto panel at @shopify is giving me ideas. Like asking @suntasem if I can partner with @pelacase to promote their eco-friendly phone cases.
