I was honestly shocked to encounter her on this Substack. I'm usually very into Courtney's writing and takes, but Pia is a very problematic, grifting individual who should've been properly researched before being invited for an interview.
There are literally several inconsistencies in this article?
She has a full work schedule and is involved in multiple businesses, but she also emphasizes that she values spending time with her family and prefers not to go to events because she doesn't want to miss dinner or bathtime with her kids?
However, she also mentions that she’s involved in multiple creative projects, often requiring her to travel and work long hours, including having a studio in West Hollywood and being away for up to three hours for podcast recordings. This suggests that her time spent with family might not always align with the priority she places on it.
She also mentions needing to get work done and having specific hours for tasks (e.g., podcast recordings and sitting at her desk), yet also says that she does not like to work if her day is light. This seems inconsistent since balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood usually requires some level of productivity regardless of a light or heavy day.
She talks about her daughter’s autism therapies and the challenges they face, but she also mentions that her family is handling the situation without expectation and not future-tripping. However, she also reflects on how her daughter did not meet her early expectations (saying she expected her to be a “firecracker” before she was born). This absolutely contradicts her notion of accepting her daughter as she is without projecting future expectations.
She mentions that her family is doing everything "the old-school way," working with multi-generational businesses in Sicily, which is slower but more meaningful. She also expresses that the financial side of being an entrepreneur is tough and takes longer to pay off. However, later in the interview, she discusses rejecting brand partnerships, even if they bring in money, in favor of keeping her personal brand authentic. So there’s a contrast between her patience in waiting for financial success and her need for immediate financial returns from collaborations.
Um… this was not it. We need to stop giving Pia Arrobio a platform, sorry.
