A special full-circle moment: both Dee and Mav are proud graduates of SUNY FIT, and proof that strong foundations and shared roots can lead to wildly different, but equally inspiring, paths.

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

In this week’s episode of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV takes us into the studio for a Self-Care Sunday conversation about slowing down, reconnecting with creativity, and making space for what truly fuels us.

Marcie Setlow: Building the Berkshire Edge | EP 234

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 13:26:36 -0500

In this week's episode of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV takes a seat with Marcie Setlow, the Publisher of the online newspaper The Berkshire Edge (www.theberkshireedge.com) which she founded in 2014 with David Scribner. Before that, she spent many years developing, selling and managing media projects for national and international broadcast on such outlets as PBS, the BBC, NHK in Japan and Antenne 2 in France. As a community leader she is former president of New York Women in Film & Television. In the Berkshires, she is president of Close Encounters with Music and a board member of Berkshire Playwright Lab. Her love for journalism goes all the way back to her high school newspaper in New Haven, and that early spark has carried her through a lifetime of storytelling, community leadership, and cultural advocacy. She is a connector. A creator. A steady, thoughtful voice who has shaped how we understand this region and the people who call it home. I am honored to have her with us today on MAV’s Coffee Clarity.

Rewriting Your Purpose | EP 227

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this week’s solo shot of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV gets real about something many of us are quietly wrestling with: a shaken or missing sense of purpose. Whether it’s sparked by a major life change like divorce, job loss, selling a business, or simply hitting Q4 and feeling off-course, this episode is a call to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.

MAV shares insights from her own life, her clients, and her years of coaching creative thinkers and changemakers. She unpacks how purpose isn’t a one-time purchase, it’s something we edit, evolve, and redefine as we go. And when things feel uncertain, it’s often a sign to check your compass, not throw it out.

=========
"Sense of purpose is like your compass, your North Star, your intention, and sometimes when the weather gets funky, you got to change course." - Denise DiGrigoli

Key Beans:

Feeling off course is a signal, not a failure.
Purpose is not permanent, it is meant to evolve.
You’re allowed to rewrite the story.

What Level Are You Playing At? | EP 226

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 00:05:02 -0400

In this week's solo episode of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV dives into a familiar frustration: “No one’s calling me back.” From job seekers firing off endless applications to seasoned pros navigating silent pitches, it’s a common complaint — but is it really just about the other person? Broadcasting live from Western Mass, MAV breaks down how intention, energy, and timing all play a role in meaningful connection — and how every stage of life (or level, as she puts it) offers a different kind of perspective.

Through stories from coaching clients and business-building moments, MAV explores the importance of follow-up, listening well, and showing up with purpose — no matter your generation or career stage. If you're feeling stuck, ghosted, or just trying to make something real happen, this episode is for you.

=========
"Whether you’re at level 2, 3, 4 or 5, you have a perspective, and you allow things in as you grow." - Denise DiGrigoli

Key Beans:

Every level brings its own kind of clarity.
Growth is not linear.
Being available when it matters is the opportunity.

Workaholic Not | EP 225

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 12:24:22 -0400

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.

Signed, MAV | EP 224

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this soulful solo shot of MAV’s Coffee Clarity, MAV takes us deep into her creative core—where gratitude meets grit and color fuels clarity. What starts with a thank-you note turns into a masterclass on mindfulness, memory, and MAV’s signature style of analog wisdom in a digital world. From writing with colored pens to mailing cards with intention, she breaks down why the handwritten word still matters, and how it keeps her centered in a fast-paced media world. You’ll hear stories from her Western Mass roots, her grandmother’s legacy, and why she’ll never give up the power of pen to paper.

=========
"Creative muscle doesn’t go away. The more you use it, the more it grows." - Denise DiGrigoli

Key Beans:

Your story is your strategy.
Challenge is a choice, not a crisis.

The Power of Permission | EP 216

Thu, 15 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

MAV's Coffee Clarity is your weekly pause in the chaos — a space to sip slow, think deep, and find clarity in the constant motion of life. In this week’s episode, host MAV leans into the importance of giving ourselves permission to reset our energy. From honoring the many forms of nurturing to building your emotional, intuitive, and self-appreciation intelligences, it’s a grounded invitation to slow down, tune in, and reset. Because balance isn't a destination — it's a rhythm, a recalibration, a dance we're all still learning. Whether you're chasing dreams, navigating change, or just trying to keep your plants alive, tune in for thoughtful insights and grounded inspiration to help you stay centered in the swirl.

=========
"Instead of being a human doing…just be a human being." - Denise Digrigoli

Key Beans:

Give yourself permission. Make time for whatever resets your own energy.

Cultivate your intelligences: Emotional intelligent, intuitive intelligence, self appreciating intelligence.
Energy management is just as important as time management.

MAV & The Fox: Work Hard Play Hard | EP 215

Thu, 08 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this special monthly segment of Ask MAV and The Fox, MAV sits down with Troy—aka The Fox—to dive into a conversation every ambitious couple and creative team needs to hear: how to balance work and play, stay grounded while growing, and put energy forward not just as individuals, but as partners.

Inspired by a listener’s question, “Dear Mav and Fox - we have a rustic summer home in Maine that is our escape. The past few years we have not spent much time there due to business expanding and taking on more clients. Spring and summer are our busiest times. Last summer we only vacationed twice two long weekends. We were able to go up twice - for two long weekends. How do you balance work and play in your businesses? Do you schedule time for vacation.. or downtime where you simply ESCAPE - no matter what?”

MAV and The Fox explore what it really means to work hard and play hard without burning out. They open up about their own journey navigating high-output seasons, building in recovery time, and making space for joy, stillness, and shared intention.

With MAV’s insights on sustainable ambition and Troy’s perspective on presence and pacing, this episode is part strategy, part soul. Whether you're building a business, a creative practice, or simply trying to show up better for the people you care about, this one’s a warm invitation to rethink the grind and re-center your “why.”

Grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!

=========
"One of the key principles to running a successful business, running a successful life, staying in good health, is you know that old saying work hard play hard, you got to remember the play hard part of it." - Troy Amuso

Key Beans:

Set yourself up for success by having an intention, a wish, and a dream.
Get on the same page with your partner, talk about what's important to you, and put that energy forward.
Balance is a moving target. You got to be in the game with whoever you are partnered with.

MAV & The Fox: The Art of Creativity, Business, and Compromise | EP 206

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 00:30:00 -0500

MAV's Coffee Clarity with Denise-this is the Ask MAV & The Fox

Special Episode In this MONTHLY special episode of MAV's Coffee Clarity, Ask MAV & The Fox, we answer your questions…

MAV sits down with Troy—aka The Fox—to tackle a challenge many creative entrepreneurs face: finding the balance between artistic perfection and business efficiency. Inspired by a listener’s question from Boston, where a husband-and-wife woodworking duo struggles with time management and profitability, MAV and The Fox share their own experiences navigating similar tensions. With Troy’s expertise in fine art restoration—where precision and patience are everything—and MAV’s deep understanding of making creativity sustainable, they dive into practical strategies for harmonizing craftsmanship with deadlines, setting realistic expectations, and ensuring passion-driven work doesn’t come at the expense of a thriving business.

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or somewhere in between, this episode offers insights to help you turn creativity into a career—without losing your mind (or your margins). ☕ Grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!

Key Beans:

✨ “Sometimes nourishing creativity means stepping away from it—because you only have so much energy in the battery. To recharge, you need to get out and get away from it.” — Troy Amuso

✅ Authentic client conversations are essential—communicate the entire process, and never make promises you can’t keep.

✅ Work on multiple projects at once to avoid getting stuck on just one.

✅ Know your worth—charge appropriately.

MAV & The Fox: Behind the Scenes | EP 203

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 19:00:00 -0500

🦊🎙️ ☕ New Podcast Segment: Ask Mav & the Fox! ☕🎙️🦊

A monthly feature on MAV’s Coffee Clarity with Denise, where wit, wisdom, and just the right dose of Maverick magic meet to tackle your questions about thriving in business, relationships, and life’s ever-surprising twists.

Denise, aka MAV, is a bold, no-nonsense entrepreneur with a passion for helping others move forward with clarity and purpose. Joining her is her husband of 25 years, Troy Amuso—The Fox—a master art conservator, meticulous creative, and the calm to MAV’s caffeinated brilliance. Together, these two MAVericks (or MAVigators) have built businesses, navigated life’s rollercoasters, and redefined what it means to work, play, and grow together—all while keeping it real and (mostly) harmonious.

This is where you come in. On Ask MAV and The Fox, we answer your questions about navigating challenges, staying creative, and building meaningful connections. Whether you’re an entrepreneur chasing your next big idea, a professional at a crossroads, or someone ready to shake things up, we’re here to share relatable stories, our business intel and life hacks, and a touch of MAV charm.

It’s not just about surviving—it’s about thriving with sophistication, creativity, and that signature MAV style that reminds you: clarity is the new currency, and success is in how you show up. So send us your questions, grab your coffee, and let’s MAV forward together.

3 Key Takeaways from Episode 203: Ask MAV and The Fox

--- Opposites Attract, But Vision Aligns:

MAV’s bold, caffeinated energy meets The Fox’s calm, meticulous precision—and together, they make magic. Success isn’t about being the same; it’s about sharing the same vision and embracing each other’s strengths (even if one irons shirts straight from the dry cleaner). It works because, in our own rights, we’re both MAVericks—or as we like to say, MAVigators—charting unique courses toward shared goals.

--- Pivot Like a Pro:

From running art galleries to perfecting fine art restoration to launching a consulting firm, MAV and The Fox prove that reinvention isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the lifeline of thriving in life and business. Knowing when to shift gears is the Maverick move that keeps you ahead of the curve and prepared for whatever life throws your way.

--- Mindset is the Real MVP:

Whether you're running a business or running on caffeine, everything boils down to mindset. A Maverick mindset embraces challenges, turns failures into stepping stones, and knows that the difference between a valley and a vista is your perspective (and maybe a good espresso).

We all have intentions right? What do we do with them? In this episode of Mav's Coffee Clarity, hosted by Denise DiGrigoli, she sheds light on the transformative power of intention-setting and goal-making. Denise walks us through her personal process, starting with an intention that evolves into a goal and ultimately leads to life-changing transformation.

By putting these intentions on her calendar and committing to just 30 minutes, she shows us how small, consistent actions can yield major results. Best Intentions require small actions to move you forward, and you never know what effects they can have. This episode is all about finding the balance between ambition and self-compassion, creating intentions that work for you, and making space for reflection and realignment along the way. ========= "I am talking about the intention that transformed into a goal that created transformation. I put it in small little bites that I could handle for me and I put it on my calendar. And I said to myself if you can’t do this small little thing for yourself, what can you do? It’s only 30 minutes." - Denise DiGrigoli (5:18). Key Beans: - Set intentions that are realistic and manageable to set yourself up for success - Reevaluate your intentions regularly; its okay to cross things off when they no longer serve you - Look at your list of goals and intentions daily to stay mindful and intentional about your personal growth ========= If you just found me, welcome!

Proceed as If, If Success, Is Inevitable | EP 140

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -0400

In this inspiring episode of MAVs Coffee Clarity, I sit down with Felicia Rubinstein, (Founder of HAYVN) a trailblazer in her industry and a powerhouse entrepreneur. Felicia shares her journey to success, navigating the challenges of being a woman in engineering, pioneering her position at APPLE, to opening her own marketing agency and then on to spearing heading a CT B-corp that aims to create an inspiring and collaborative space for entrepreneurs to get stuff done! Wow! You do not want to miss this episode! ====== HAYVN Founder Felicia Rubinstein is a true trailblazer, starting her career as an engineer at GE and Apple before “Women in STEM” was a movement. She thrived at the Fortune 500 companies, working there for more than a decade. When Rubinstein wanted a flexible work schedule after her first son was born, she asked Apple for it—and got it—pioneering one of the company’s first-ever job share programs. Eventually she left to start her own business and forge a new path: engineering a better way to work. She created Maven Marketing and later 341 Studios, a Marketing and Branding Agency, one of the first virtual workspaces for independent contractors and freelancers in Fairfield County, and where she held regular educational roundtable breakfasts for clients and partners. The launch of 341 Studios became an unintentional pilot program for HAYVN, a women-centered coworking space in Darien, CT, and her latest venture. Rubinstein designed HAYVN to be just that—a “haven” for women to “connect, create and get stuff done.” ====== Key Beans: When you are passionate about something, you need to fight for it It’s important to Fail Obstacles create your path Quotes: “So just being mindful of how you do business and, you know, doing business as a force for good is really important.” - Felicia Rubinstein (26:17) Find her at: https://hayvn.com/ Thank you, FELICIA xo Denise aka MAV ====== If you just found me, welcome!

On the Heels of Freedom | EP 130

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 10:19:00 -0400

On the heels of freedom. The post 4th of July reflection and action. This is in no way a political show, session or commentary. It's about honoring all types of freedom, and taking time to free yourself of old narratives. It's about permission granted: to try something new or returning to something you have shelved for whatever the reason or season. This about my new venture back into the fine art of mixed media and allowing myself to be seen regardless of the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) that once trolled my mind.

The Journey of a Fine Art Restorer & A Vision of Trust: Meet Troy Amuso | EP 129

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:30:00 -0400

Meet Troy Amuso, unstated, sophisticated and a true master of the craft of fine art restoration. Troy entered the world of art restoration in 1977 working as a studio apprentice in Westchester County, New York, under highly respected Dutch art conservator, Yan Vanderviver. It was that unique opportunity that sparked Troy’s passion in the craft of art conservation, setting him on a path towards an unyielding career as a fine art oil painting conservator. (He spills the beans on the moment he knew this was for him!) From 1977 to 1995, Troy held studio positions focused on the preservation of fine art in New York, Connecticut, and Los Angeles. It was during those formative years that Troy earned a respected reputation for his conservation work from art collectors, art galleries, and private museums throughout the North East and West Coast. In 1997 Troy and his wife, Denise DiGrigoli, founded Troy Fine Art Services, an art conservation studio modeled on the philosophy that each client and painting is unique and should receive exceptional personal attention. By maintaining a small studio approach, you can always be assured of who is working on your painting. As principal conservator, Troy believes that all restorations should be as noninvasive as possible while only performing processes necessary and vital to revive a painting as close to its original state as possible. Troy maintains a strict code of ethics in line with the American Institute for Conservation, and ensures that all work is archival and reversible. He lectures regularly on the cause and effect of art restoration to groups and organizations throughout New England.

Kara Mac: Train Commuter Shoe Maverick Takes On Sustainability | EP 126

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Kara Mac joins Denise DiGrigoli on this episode of Mav's Coffee Clarity to spill the beans on sustainability in the fashion industry. The episode will provide you with a whole new perspective on items you already own! Kara Mac (Schwartz) studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology and spent her professional life as an apparel designer, specializing in knitwear, for labels such as Ralph Lauren and Talbots. As a train commuter, she went through two to three pairs of shoes each day, depending on the occasion. Kara had an idea to reduce footwear’s environmental impact by reusing what one may already have and make it last longer, decreasing the number of shoes dumped in the landfill. Kara Mac Shoes was launched in 2015. The patented innovation introduces the world’s first shoe line with instant heel to toe customization. It allows users to refashion their shoes from hundreds of different trendy, fun and personalized options. She has just released a capsule collection of sandals constructed with chromium-free leather and wooden heels. It is the beginning of a project she has held deep in her mind for years. Shoes made with eco-friendly materials that will biodegrade 90% faster than traditional leather footwear. Kara lives in Mount Kisco NY, with her husband, two sons and two Portuguese Water Dogs.
