Working For Progress
Welcome to Working For Progress, hosted by social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau. This podcast shares honest conversations with people who are shaping their working lives with care, curiosity, and intention.
Rooted in the community of Tribe Porty and reaching beyond, Dani talks with guests whose stories reflect the everyday grit, values, and quiet purpose behind the work they do.
Through open and thoughtful dialogue, you’ll hear about career twists, meaningful choices, and the moments, big and small, that help us grow. These are stories of progress: not just professional, but personal and collective too.
We’re all working for progress; in ourselves, in our communities, and toward a more connected world.

Working For Progress with Sonny Ruggiero: From Art History to Community Wellbeing
Sonny Ruggiero is a yoga teacher, art historian, and community builder who recently joined Tribe Porty as our Community Support Assistant. Originally from California, Sonny moved to Scotland to pursue her PhD in the History of Art at the University of Edinburgh, where her research explored the visual culture of the feminist magazine Spare Rib.
In this conversation, Dani and Sonny talk about falling in love with Scotland, the journey of creating home in a new place, and how yoga, mindfulness, and community have guided her along the way. They also explore how creativity and calm can coexist, and how small, shared moments like coffee morning meditations can build a sense of belonging.
Working For Progress is hosted by Dani Trudeau and produced by Alice Hudson.
Dani Trudeau, founder of Tribe Porty, a community coworking space in Edinburgh built on the belief that creativity, collaboration, and care are good for people, business, and the world.
