The Sitdown w/ John Scafiddi Jr | At War, Brooklyn
What does it take to become a different version of yourself? In this episode of the Mid-Life Mafia Podcast, we sit down with John Scafiddi Jr., founder of At War, a Brooklyn-based clothing brand built around more than just fashion. John opens up about entrepreneurship, mental health, relationships, divorce, personal growth, and the experiences that shaped the person he is today. John talks about how he started At War and how the COVID-19 pandemic gave him the opportunity to put more focus into his business. What began as a clothing line also became a way to create conversations around mental health, giving people a space to connect through the brand and its message. The conversation gets even more personal as John reflects on the parts of his past he had to let go of to become who he is today. He talks honestly about his past relationships, the lessons he learned from divorce, and how growing up in a complicated family situation shaped his views on love, marriage, and relationships. And, of course, it wouldn't be a Mid-Life Mafia conversation without getting into the fun stuff. John shares some of his favorite songs and bands, his favorite Brooklyn pizzeria, and the stories behind his tattoos and piercings.
