An Analog Brain In A Digital Age Podcast is your backstage pass to my mind — where analog meets digital, and the occasional pig flies.
In an age racing toward algorithms and automation, the best ideas still come from curiosity, experience, emotion, and the unexpected connection.
What you'll find are conversations on technology & society, storytelling in all its forms, branding & marketing, creativity, and the odd surprise.
I'm a branding advisor who helps businesses and individuals define who they are, shape their story, and communicate it with intention.
I work one-on-one with professionals building their personal brand — executives, entrepreneurs, creators looking to establish their voice and visibility. I also advise companies on brand positioning, storytelling, and ensuring their marketing actually reflects who they are.
I hold a Master's degree in Political Science, with a specialization in Sociology of Communication, from the University of Florence (Cesare Alfieri), along with a post-laurea specialization in Advertising and Communication. My career started in advertising in the mid-90s and has moved from pure analog to the digital-analog hybrid reality we navigate today.
I work in both English and Italian, remotely or in person — and I split my time between Los Angeles and Florence, though I'm often found around the globe, wherever clients, creative collaborations, and event coverage bring me.
For cybersecurity and technology companies, I work through Studio C60 with my co-founder Sean Martin.
I am available for interviews, panels, and podcast appearances
I'm always excited to join conversations that matter. As a guest, I bring insights on Technology & Society, Cybersecurity & Society, Storytelling, Branding & Advertising, Content Strategy, and Podcasting — topics where human impact meets innovation, and innovation meets human impact. These discussions fuel my curiosity and help us all navigate our rapidly changing world. Interested in having me on your show?
Connect with me on LinkedIn and let's explore how we can create meaningful dialogue for your audience.
On a more personal creative note, I write and produce Storie Sotto le Stelle, a collaborative project with my mother — now a passionate writer — where we bring short, magical children's stories to life in both written and audio formats, in Italian and English. It's a family journey and a reminder that creativity, when shared, connects generations.

Ginza on a weekday afternoon. Chanel. Dior. Louis Vuitton. Gucci. Cartier. Bulgari. Glass, gold, polished stone. If there's a street on this planet that has turned the logo into architecture, this is it.

Sean Martin doesn't say good morning to his shovel. He told me this holding a microphone up to his chin, the two of us back on camera together for the first time in a while, posing like a couple of influencers. When he wants to dig in the garden, he picks up the shovel and digs.

My wife and I can't watch a thriller in peace. Ten minutes in, I start calling it. He's the one. She won't make it. Never trust the nice neighbor. She tells me to shut up. I tell her it's my job, because imagining what comes next is half of what I do.

It was night, the alley was narrow, and the street was going uphill. Just me and a small camera. It points where I point it. It records what's in front of it. It focuses, it adjusts to the dark, and when the battery dies, it stops. It doesn't pretend to listen. It doesn't nod.

I spent twenty minutes looking for the right angle. A small camera, a mini tripod, a patch of sidewalk that wasn't full of people taking the exact same photo. Behind me, 333 meters of orange and white steel. In front of me, nobody. No guest, no co-host, no second microphone to hide behind.

On day two we decided to go record our recap at the Black Hat bar. We got there too late to get a drink. The expo floor was closing, and the bartender must have had better things to do. Or another bar to tend, somewhere in a city that has more bars than it has hours.
But don't take my word for it, go watch them all. The latest ones are below, the full list lives on the An Analog Brain In A Digital Age YouTube playlist.
