About

Hi, I’m Andrew Violi, a proud Gen Xer living in Toronto and father to three (mostly) grown children and two Shih Tzus.

Over my 25 year career I have worked in radio, publishing, Public Relations and Marketing. For the past 20 years I was the brand creator and president of Mellow Walk Footwear, a brand of safety shoes made right here in Toronto, Canada.

Upon selling the company I conceived of the Coffee and Careers podcast as a way to connect with people like myself who have had interesting careers and more interesting stories to share.
