On this sun-soaked edition of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV gets real about the word that hit like a gut punch: “workaholic.” Broadcasting from a peaceful corner of Western Mass, MAV unpacks what it really means to be labeled — and why words like “workaholic” miss the nuance of passion, purpose, and lifelong learning.From generational shifts in technology to the pitfalls of buyer personas in marketing, this solo short explores the fine line between hustle and heart, and how we can better communicate across divides — in business, family, and self. So whether you're redefining your work-life balance, questioning old-school marketing tactics, or just craving clarity on a creative path, pour your coffee and pull up a chair. It’s not about the labels — it’s about the learning.

========= "It really is about learning, growing, sharing, and trying to figure it out." - Denise DiGrigoli

Key Beans:

  • Being present starts with understanding, not judgement. 
  • Passion isn’t a problem to fix. 
  • Don’t label, ask questions. 

========= If you just found me, welcome! And if you're a regular listener, welcome back! This is where I interview some fascinating people from all walks, from well-known to not-so-known, entrepreneurs to creatives, performers, and athletes—forward-thinking individuals, people who found the silver lining in their fiascos and life's challenges, and can laugh with it!
