Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice; we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30-minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
Guest, David Galpern
David Galpern is a producer, founder, and creative strategist who has spent more than two decades exploring how stories can move people – emotionally, culturally, and at scale.
His work spans theatre, live events, and experiential installations. He co-founded the Classical Theatre Project, which became one of North America’s leading producers of live performance for teen audiences, reaching more than a million students across 90 cities. He has produced large-scale musicals, original productions, international tours, and acclaimed revivals including CATS, Grease, and Hair. He also founded the Toronto Youth Theatre, a registered charity that gives young artists the chance to train and perform in a professional environment.
He is the Co-Founder of Impossible Creative, a studio rethinking how experiential IP is created, financed, and distributed – merging narrative and technology to bring audiences inside the story. Impossible’s work includes a breakout immersive installation for the UN COP16 Climate Change Conference in Riyadh, along with several large-scale collaborations in development with leading artists and global institutions – including Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Questlove’s, and an initiative with the Vatican Museums.
Alongside producing, David has worked for more than 20 years as a voice performer, voicing national and international campaigns for brands including Acura, Air Canada, Rogers, and McDonald’s.
Outside of work, he’s a long-distance runner, a father of three, and someone who still believes there’s nothing better than getting people into a room together to share something unforgettable.
