    Irony Is His Middle Name: Fitness and Pizza Guru Tommy Ardito

    Like many during the pandemic, Brooklyn gym owner Tommy Ardito discovered baking. Ever the entrepreneur, he was soon selling (via Instagram!) pizza from his apartment kitchen. Now known as the “Underground Pizza Boss,” Ardito is about to open a brick-and-mortar to share his artisanal slices citywide. We talked to him about his unstoppable drive and motivation, about fitness (he knows a lot), about the financial predicament facing Millennials, about surviving as a soloist, and, of course, we talk a lot about pizza.

    Survival Is a Pre-existing Condition: Author Spike Gillespie

    Spike Gillespie walked away from her last office job in 1988, and has been soloing ever since — to great success. The key to her longevity as a soloist? Diversification. Gillespie is a self-described serial entrepreneur. In her four decades of independent work, this Texan-by-way-of-New Jersey has been a journalist, a writer, a wedding and funeral officiant, a rancher, a venue owner, and, in her latest venture, a professional scone maker. In this episode, Gillespie shares candidly about her unconventional career path, her experience soloing as a single parent, and the positive daily habits that sustain her creativity.
