Couple Casuals Podcast

Welcome back to another full episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast! In this episode, your host, Stefano, sits down with two of Toronto’s most creative entrepreneurs — Matthew Campoli and Zohaib Aziz, the minds behind the Coffee Party, a cultural movement redefining social connection through wellness, house music, and premium coffee. What started as a wild idea turned into one of the fastest-growing community events in the city — and now it’s exploding globally. We get into the business model, branding strategy, social media virality, and the lifestyle shift that’s driving people away from bottle service and toward something real. No booze, no VIP, no BS. Just vibes, connection, and clarity — and it’s striking a nerve with a generation sick of the same old nightlife. Some topics we cover: - The birth of the Coffee Party and how it launched in just 9 days - Why alcohol sales are crashing and the sober movement is surging - How social media launched a Toronto brand into the global spotlight - The importance of purpose, brand integrity, and removing ego from events - What makes people crave meaningful community now more than ever - Copycats, trademark battles, and why this isn’t just a trend - Advice for creators, founders, and anyone trying to build something real This one’s inspiring, unfiltered, and full of entrepreneurial gems.

Welcome back to another full episode of Couple Casuals Podcast! In this episode, your host, Stefano, dives headfirst into the escalating chaos around the world — from Trump’s direct strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites to Canada’s slow-motion collapse under Liberal leadership. Trump shocks the world with a bold military move, swears on live TV, and sets the stage for what could spiral into World War 3. Israel ignores a ceasefire deal and resumes airstrikes, sparking a firestorm that leaves Trump furious. Meanwhile, Toronto sinks under crime, homelessness, and even a tax on rain — while Alberta thrives and 45,000 realtors abandon ship as the housing market tanks. Some topics we cover: - Trump’s Iran airstrikes and nuclear crackdown - Could this spark World War 3? - Israel’s ceasefire betrayal and media spin - Toronto’s collapse under Olivia Chow - Rob Ford’s real legacy vs. today’s broken city - Canada’s failing housing market and mass realtor exodus - Alberta’s bold 20% tax cut - The Liberals, Carney, and a collapsing carbon tax plan This one’s raw, intense, and brutally honest.

Welcome back to another full episode of Couple Casuals Podcast! In this episode, your host, Stefano, dives headfirst into the chaos exploding across North America — from riots in LA and rising crime in Toronto to the shocking fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Elon drops a bomb, accusing Trump of being on the Epstein list. Trump fires back. Tesla stock tanks. The bromance is over — and it’s all unraveling in real time. Meanwhile, Canada’s crime wave continues to get ignored by a Liberal government more interested in restricting legal gun owners than stopping violent criminals. We break it all down. Some topics we cover: The Trump–Elon Musk breakup and what caused it Epstein file allegations and Musk’s Twitter nuke Rising violent crime across Canada (and the 14-year-old who stabbed a 90-year-old woman) Liberal MPs who don’t even understand the gun laws they pass Riots in LA and the return of Antifa chaos Trudeau’s failure to protect Canadians The dangers of AI, climate anxiety, and Canada’s collapsing birthrate This one’s raw, intense, and brutally honest.
