That Digital Take

This week on That Digital Take, I’m diving into the gamble of red carpet culture—because if TIFF taught me anything, it’s that the thrill is in the unpredictability. 🎬✨
From the glamour of Toronto International Film Festival to the chaos of the VMAs in NYC, I break down the contrasts between film prestige and music spectacle, and what it means to chase those behind-the-scenes moments that may—or may not—go viral.
We’re talking:
🎥 The Access Gamble → sometimes the headliners walk right past, and the magic happens with someone unexpected.
⏱ The Timing Gamble → you prep all day for one 30-second question.
📲 The Audience Gamble → polished moments vs. messy BTS bloopers—what actually hits online?
🌍 The Industry Gamble → TIFF bets on breakout projects, while creators bet on being in the room.
💫 The Personal Gamble → balancing travel, glam, exhaustion, and energy just to capture that one unforgettable clip.
Plus, a little Torchella recap (yes, my Italian Riviera-inspired birthday bash 💐🍋), some Disney trip reflections, and why these experiences always recharge my creative spark. 👉
Question for YOU: When was the last time you took a gamble on yourself—and did it pay off? Drop your story in the comments, I’d love to hear it.

From red carpets in Toronto to Surf Lodge sunsets in Montauk, it’s been a summer of dreams — and a calendar that won’t quit. In this week’s solo episode, I’m taking you behind the highlight reel to talk about the real cost of constantly being “on” in multiple cities at once. If you’ve ever looked at someone’s life online and thought, how are they doing all that? This one’s for you.
We cover:
*The logistics of travel content, and the difference between vacation and performance
* The emotional and financial pressure of showing up on-camera while staying grounded IRL
* The burnout behind the brand deals, and what happens when the wins start to outpace your wellness * That subtle guilt of feeling tired when you know you’re lucky
* And why I’m taking a break before the burnout hits (yes, Italy — this is your moment)
Plus, a little Hamptons recap (Montauk, you’re rich rich), a peek into what’s coming in Vegas, and the power of “fly on the wall” content when it comes to TikTok and OOTDs.

This week on That Digital Take, we’re pulling back the curtain on the influencer fashion machine. From the haul-heavy YouTube era to the rise of affiliate culture and TikTok microtrends, Torri unpacks how the pressure to always wear something new has shaped not just content, but identity.
We’re talking borrowed wardrobes, PR gifting expectations, and the not-so-glamorous reality of “fashion closets.” Torri shares her personal evolution, from buying for every shoot to consciously pulling, re-wearing outfits, and rediscovering her style through the noise.
Plus:→ Why fashion content became synonymous with consumption→ The blurry line between personal taste and brand strategy→ The rise of resale, slow fashion, and how “authenticity” is replacing fast drops
If you’ve ever felt behind because your closet doesn’t look like your favourite influencer’s feed… this one’s for you.

F1 isn’t just a race, it’s a luxury brand playground. In this week’s episode of That Digital Take, we’re diving into how Formula 1 has transformed into the ultimate stage for branded entertainment, influencer marketing, and cultural cachet.
From sipping champagne in the Paddock Club with Pirelli, to creator networking inside the Rabanne Suite, and dancing at Heineken House post-race, this was more than a sports weekend. It was giving Coachella with racecars.
We also talk about the Brad Pitt F1 movie (yes, I saw it twice 😅) and how Apple, Warner Bros, and Lewis Hamilton are changing the future of sports storytelling. It’s literally shot at real Grand Prix weekends—with real F1 fans and drivers. And that’s the bigger story…
- We’re entering the era of creators as producers.- Sports franchises are now content studios.- And brands? They’re the new Hollywood.
If you’re a content creator, this episode is a MUST LISTEN. From race-day access to media rights, I’m breaking down what creators bring to the table that traditional media never could, and why it’s time to think bigger about your IP, storytelling, and partnerships.

This week on That Digital Take, I’m coming to you fresh off the F1 experience and the F1 movie premiere… but we’re shifting gears into a topic that’s taking over every creator conversation: AI.
In this episode, I’m unpacking why AI is your intern — not your identity and how creators can leverage it smartly without becoming a content robot. From tools that streamline your process (like SEO captions, Reel scripts, and Midjourney mood boards) to the red flags around trust, voice cloning, and scripted relatability — we’re getting into it.
- Where AI works... the optimization zone that saves time but keeps your tone.- When to push back... and why trust, taste, and POV matter more than ever.- The rise of AI influencers and what real creators must do to stay competitive.- The ethical grey zones... should you disclose AI use? Would you let a brand clone your voice?
Whether you’re a brand builder, creative strategist, or just trying to stay human in a hyper-automated industry, this episode will help you draw the line between smart tools and soul-sucking sameness.
Press play to find out: Is AI making content better… or just more forgettable?
