❓ Tell us about yourself 

I’m a Kitchen and Bath Designer who happens to be a Registered Architect. Not only do I design kitchens and baths for your residences but also for multi-family tenant spaces, hospitality, AirBnb, restaurants, etc.

❓ What is an interesting fact about yourself?

I own a brick and mortar boutique showroom which allows me to meet all kinds of interesting people when I’m not in front of my computer designing!

❓ How did you first find out about Clubhouse?

I started hearing about it on Facebook and I openly asked if any of my colleagues can give me an invitation to join Clubhouse.

❓ What do you love most about being a part of Sticky Beak Club?

Once I started Clubhouse, I was a little timid about using it. After a month of inactivity, I decided to start slow and hop on to a ‘Networking’ room and that is how I found Sticky Beak. I found myself being a mod as soon as I entered! Since then, I became a regular and I found really meaningful connections in the Sticky Beak Club. I truly enjoy being part of this wonderful community of good people all around the world! Where else can you find that?

❓ What is your favorite other club on Clubhouse, and why?

I have a few clubs on Clubhouse I often visit because I have many personal and professional interests. I like Designers Talk because of the openness and authentic conversations about the design industry, I like In The Shop where I get to meet professionals and artisans in the trade and also any club where I can find my Filipino peeps where I can talk about food and learn and practice Tagalog!

❓ Who is your favorite person on Clubhouse and why?

Who is my favorite person on Clubhouse? That is like asking who is my favorite child!!!

❓ If you host a room on Clubhouse – tell us more about it!

Right now, I am hosting a room under Sticky Beak and it is open every Friday at noon EST (New York time). It is constantly evolving but the main idea is All Things Kitchen Design. But sometimes, really, more often than not, it will talk about how to increase your property value with the right design decisions.

❓ What tip would you share with people who are new to Clubhouse?

The best advice I can give to newbies on Clubhouse is to not be afraid to speak and raise your hand. Push yourself to be on that stage. If you do not have any value to add to the conversation, then ask a question that could produce an answer that will not only benefit you but will also benefit others.

❓ What resonates most about 🦘Australia for you?

Let me get back to you on that…although, I have to say, I want to visit there soon!

❓ If there is one thing Sticky Beak could do to improve what would it be?

I wish that there’s a clickable function under Sticky Beak on the scheduled rooms in a bullet format (weekly) instead of swiping left to right and only seeing one room at a time.

❓ If there was one thing Clubhouse could do to improve what would that be?

Protect the rooms so that moderators can’t just end rooms randomly.

❓ Tell us about yourself 

Je m’appelle Corinna Bellizzi (née Benoit). I’m a mom of two young boys (aged 3 and 6) who keep me quite busy when I’m not busy working or studying, podcasting or spending time with all of you on Clubhouse!

Professionally, I’ve spent the last 20+ years as a senior leader in the natural products industry. I decided to go back to school to get my MBA @ Santa Clara University in fall of 2019 and I’m graduating this June with honors (Beta Gamma Sigma)!!!

I’ve always been an idealist and activist who wants to put more good into the world while I champion the rights and causes of those that have trouble standing up for themselves.

I decided to launch “Care More. Be Better: A Social Impact + Sustainability Podcast” this January to formalize that effort and create a platform for good. With Care More. Be Better.

I get to share the stories of inspired individuals, social entrepreneurs and conscious companies from around the globe who create a positive impact in their communities. You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts — and if you know someone I should feature — please make the intro! It’s why I came to clubhouse in the first place, after all!

❓ What is an interesting fact about yourself?

I have lived many lives personally and professionally. I used to race cars 🏁(Miata Club Races) and horses in three-day events🏇 (dressage, stadium jumping, cross country).

I am a 🏃‍♀️👟Boston Marathon finisher (🥈2009) and an archaeologist 👷‍♀️ with digs in Europe and the States under my belt.

I love Hot Sauce and Chocolate and Coffee and Champagne (but not necessarily in that order). I love love and rescuing animals. I will never stop.

❓ How did you first find out about Clubhouse?

During a group project in my Entrepreneurship class with @AmitJamuar and @bonvino (Anthony Bonvino), we were tasked with building a plan that could be executed in only ONE HOUR. We had chosen my podcast as the subject of our effort. Anthony & Amit convinced me our hour-long effort needed to be ON CLUBHOUSE.

I didn’t have an iPhone or iPad, so we conducted a session over ZOOM which they then fed into a club room titled “Care More. Be Better: Community Conversations on Social Impact & Sustainability”. I met 2 future guests in that one hour and decided I just had to get on the platform ASAP. So, I bought an iPad!

❓ What do you love most about being a part of Sticky Beak Club?

I love the community of friends that I’ve built through this club ALL OVER THE GLOBE. From Eastern Europe to the UK to Australia and Africa — it’s truly amazing.

❓ What is your favorite other club on Clubhouse, and why?

Care More. Be Better. Because it’s my club and the reason I came here in the first place.

❓ Who is your favorite person on Clubhouse and why?

This is an impossible question to answer. I have several favorites — and most of them are moderators or members of the Sticky Beak Club. Because I CAN’T CHOOSE I’ll just say it’s @StickyBeak

❓ If you host a room on Clubhouse – tell us more about it!

Care More. Be Better: A Social Impact + Sustainability Podcast and Community. We host community conversations covering topics from social benefit entrepreneurship to gender and racial equality, eco-conscious living and sustainability concerns as we seek to build a better future.

❓ What tip would you share with people who are new to Clubhouse?

Follow those who resonate with you — and don’t get mad if they don’t follow you back.

❓ What resonates most about 🦘Australia for you?

The people of Australia just feel more naturally open and fun than Americans (generally speaking).

As an example, one day, when I was out for my morning run near the waterfront in Sydney, I jumped the line and ran the last few miles of a marathon that ended at their iconic Opera House.

People actually cheered as I jumped the line and joined them. Some of the runners patted me on the back. That doesn’t happen in the States. We’re so much less inclusive and fun in organized race settings.

❓ If there is one thing Sticky Beak could do to improve what would it be?

I think the number of moderators that lead a particular room should be limited to those that are actively guiding the conversation.

I see several upcoming events in which I’m tagged as a presenter, many of which precede my waking hours.

I’m happy to join any time I can, but won’t be able to be active at 4am Pacific Time. 😉 And I say this with complete LOVE.

❓ If there was one thing Clubhouse could do to improve what would that be?

I think they need to do a better job keeping trolls and bots off the platform so we can rest a little easier as moderators on that front and focus on building great conversations instead.

I’ve always adored 🦘kangaroos because of the care they take to carry their young. Also, can’t wait to have done shrimp in the barbi (not sure of spelling)

I’d say give members more time to introduce themselves and their businesses or interests for 30 seconds.

Make it easier to find rooms you are pinged into if you don’t respond right away.

I’m always striving to find new ways to expand my views and knowledge of the world. I love learning and consider myself a “professional student”. I’m the person you see dancing and singing in the cereal aisle in the grocery store. I love meeting new friends and sharing a light-hearted conversation. I’m a mom, girlfriend, sister, daughter, and so much more. I’m excited to meet you, new friend, and making meaningful memories together. ✌️ ❤️ 🤗

🤔This or That w/ MistyAnn❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 It’s a weekly room I host here on Sticky Beak.

Don’t feel obligated to follow everyone and everything you’re invited to join. Doing so can dramatically change your experience on clubhouse – only exposing you to content that doesn’t resonate with you.

🦘💫The free-spirited nature Australians have is a character trait I love.
