That's how I met Regen Ryan, and I had no idea what conscious hip-hop was until he introduced me to his music. Now I'm over here thinking, how have I never heard anything like this before?!

Ryan's music is entertaining, incredibly creative, and packed with lyrics that are fun, thought-provoking, and educational. He brings together his passions for regenerative farming, health and wellness, and spirituality in a way that feels entirely his own. There's a lot to learn in his music, but it doesn't feel like a lecture. It makes you want to listen, think, and maybe see the world a little differently.

In this conversation, we get to know the person behind the music, what inspired him to bring these worlds together, and how his love for regeneration goes beyond the soil and into how we care for ourselves, connect with others, and move through life.

I really loved getting to know Ryan and hearing more about the heart behind what he creates. I also had the opportunity to photograph his album shoot out in the woods.

This is one of those conversations that reminds you how much there is to discover when you stay curious and let people introduce you to something new. And if you've never listened to conscious hip-hop before, this might be a pretty great place to start.

Listen in, check out Regen Ryan's music, and see what happens when hip-hop meets healing, wellness, and a little regeneration.

Find Regen Ryan: Listen to his music on SoundCloud or find him on Apple Music.

I LOVE Lisa! We’ve had so much fun running into each other at business networking events, and she brings that same bright, positive energy to this episode. We laugh a lot, talk about staying positive, not worrying so much, running a business, and so much more.

I saw them perform in early August and was in awe of what they’ve created. From their collaborations to the incredible work they put into this album, there’s so much to love about what they’re doing.

We get into the story behind Burger Vision, their creative process, and what’s coming next for the band.

Leslee is one of the women behind Lakselaget, a group of Norwegian-American women that was founded in 2002 to bring women together around Norwegian heritage, culture, friendship and community. I showed up to photograph the luncheon thinking I was going to take some pictures, eat some really good Norwegian food and hang out with some Norwegian women.

What I didn’t expect was to discover this whole community that I somehow had no idea existed.

As a Norwegian woman with Norwegian ancestors myself, getting to meet these women and hear their stories made me realize there was a whole part of my heritage I hadn’t really connected with.

And Leslee’s story is pretty incredible. She has spent decades building community and strengthening connections between Minnesota and Norway, with involvement in organizations like Ski for Light, Sons of Norway, Norway House, Mindekirken and the Norwegian-American Historical Association. She has also been recognized for her work with the St. Olav Medal from King Harald V of Norway.

But beyond the accomplishments, I wanted to know what makes Leslee tick.

We talk about Lakselaget, Norwegian heritage, community, the things she’s accomplished over the years, and what it means to keep these traditions and connections alive.

I walked into that luncheon as the photographer and left feeling like I had stumbled into a piece of my own history.

Come hang out with us and meet Leslee.

I sat down with Jennifer Merrill, the newer owner of Worker B, and we had a lot of laughs while talking honey, skincare, Wisconsin’s wild west, and her State Fair pickle flavor—because apparently, there’s a lot more to Worker B than honey!

We laughed over some slightly spoiled wine, talked small business, and got into Jennifer’s story and what it’s like taking over a beloved local business.

Their storefront is such a fun place to visit. You can sample honey, check out their all-natural skincare, shop local honey products, and wander through the art-filled Northrup King Building.

Come for the honey, stay for the conversation—and find out what the heck that State Fair pickle flavor is all about!

And there’s something you might not expect: there’s no cello on it.

Caitlin opens up about the meaning behind this deeply personal project, who Holly X.O. is, where the name came from, and why this album feels like her most bare, vulnerable work yet.

We go beyond the music and into Caitlin’s personal journey with addiction, healing, and stepping into a completely new chapter of her life. Holly X.O. is heavily influenced by that journey, making this more than just an album. It’s a reflection of where she’s been, what she’s overcome, and the person and artist she is becoming.

This is a raw and honest conversation about music, identity, addiction, healing, and having the courage to create something completely your own.

Listen in and get to know Caitlin Benson and Holly X.O. before the album arrives on October 29.

In this episode of Excelsior!, I sit down with Twin Cities portrait and fine-art photographer Richard Leonard Schultz for one of my favorite conversations about photography.

We talk about film, slowing down, and the difference between simply taking a photograph and actually making one. Richard and I dive into the idea of quality over quantity — taking a moment to sit with life, wait for the right moment, and make one photograph that says something rather than taking a thousand pictures that don't.

We also talk about the complicated relationship between art and business, working with people, making a living as a photographer, and why photographers don't have to see each other as competition. There is room for all of us to make our own work, tell our own stories, and contribute something different.

Richard is also a fine-art photographer who does his own printing, and hearing him talk about the craft, process, and intention behind his work gave me a whole new level of respect for what he does. Mad respect for his skill.

We also talk about Richard's work on Of Distance and Time – Yav Ntuj Qub Qab, a powerful project with MN Zej Zog documenting the stories and portraits of Hmong women and elders in Minnesota. The project captures Hmong mothers, grandmothers, aunties and other respected elders, preserving stories that might otherwise be lost.

This conversation reminded me why I love photography in the first place — not because of how many images we can make, but because of what can happen when we slow down enough to make one really meaningful photograph.

I absolutely loved hanging out and talking photography with Richard.

This is an episode you don't want to miss.

I sat down with Magdalena Grace to talk about all the things she does—from spirituality and personal growth to entrepreneurship, healing, empowerment, and her work helping people create more abundance and purpose in their lives.

We also dive into her Sacred Rage Workshop, which I actually got to experience myself! We talk about what it is, why rage can be such a powerful emotion, and what happens when we actually give ourselves permission to feel it.

A fun conversation about life, growth, finding your power, and a little bit of rage along the way!

In this episode of Excelsior!, I sit down with Eric Forseth, the new owner of Do Good Diapers, a Twin Cities cloth diaper service that makes cloth diapering easy for busy families. As a customer myself, I can honestly say—I LOVE their service!

This episode was extra special because my one-year-old son, Wilhelm, joined us for the recording—and how fitting is that? He's been wearing Do Good Diapers since he was a baby! It was the perfect reminder of why I wanted to have Eric on the podcast in the first place.

Eric shares what it's like taking over the business, how their convenient pickup and delivery service takes the stress out of cloth diapering, and why choosing cloth is a win for both families and the environment. We also chat about entrepreneurship, building a purpose-driven business, and the small choices that can make a big impact in our communities.

Whether you're expecting a baby, raising little ones, curious about sustainable living, or just love hearing the stories behind amazing local businesses, this episode is for you!

Laura has been my trusted dog groomer (and on-call nail trimmer!) for years, so it was such a joy to have her in the studio. She recently took the leap into business ownership with two partners, opening Hounds Tooth Grooming, where they offer a more personalized, one-on-one grooming experience designed to keep every dog calm, comfortable, and cared for. They're already booking weeks in advance—and they're absolutely worth the wait.

We talk all things dogs, what it's like owning a small business, and Laura's journey to becoming a business owner. We also chat about her hobbies, her wonderfully goofy personality, and her experience as a queer woman entrepreneur creating a welcoming space for both pets and their people.

To make things even more entertaining, my one-year-old son, Wilhelm, joined us in the studio, so expect plenty of toddler cameos, laughs, and wonderfully chaotic moments throughout the episode.

This conversation is full of heart, humor, and a whole lot of dog love. I hope you enjoy getting to know Laura as much as I have over the years!

This week I'm joined by Britta, an Akashic Records Reader and founder of Aligned & Undefined. We talk about what the Akashic Records are, how she became an Akashic Records reader, what a session looks like, and how she helps people gain clarity through her readings. If you've ever wondered what the Akashic Records are all about, this episode is a great place to start.

Of course, my one-year-old son, Wilhelm, had plans of his own—running around the studio, exploring everything he could find, and making a few surprise appearances along the way. It made for some funny moments and a reminder that sometimes the best conversations happen when life doesn't go exactly as planned.

Enjoy this fun conversation with Britta as we learn more about the Akashic Records and the work she does.

We talked about music, writing, creativity, art, and so much more. Dan and I have been working together on visuals for the band’s upcoming album release, and I get the honor of creating their album photos. They are incredibly talented, and it’s been awesome getting to know him through the creative process.

Funny enough, even though we’d already been collaborating on the art, this podcast chat was actually the first time we met in person.

🔪 has a new album coming soon, and I’m excited for everyone to hear what they’ve been creating.

This episode felt like meeting my personality doppelgänger. For years, people have told Kendall Diveley and me that we have the same energy, similar personalities, and needed to meet someday. We both throw events, have a mission to build a vibrant community, and love bringing people together through connection and conversation. Well… we finally met, and it instantly made sense.

We also discovered we both grew up shy and withdrawn in school, and both had to find our voices later in life. Now we each use that voice to create spaces where people feel seen, welcomed, and inspired.

We dive into Kendall’s incredibly inspiring project, The Sociable Circuit—a one-of-a-kind event where speakers discuss a topic while the audience can toss marshmallows if they have questions. It’s creative, hilarious, interactive, and exactly the kind of community-building energy the world needs more of.

I had so much fun chatting with Kendall and getting excited about everything she’s creating. Listen to her story, learn who she is, and hear why I’m so excited for us to team up and do more together in the future. This is an episode full of laughter, inspiration, and two women passionate about making the world a little brighter.

I caught up with my favorite comedian, Chicky Dabs—a well-known Twin Cities comic—who also happens to be five months pregnant, and we got into everything.

We talked babies, life, and what it’s like being on stage while pregnant. She shared stories from her first visit to the Comedy Mothership, including meeting Pauly Shore, and her unforgettable run-in with Tony Hinchcliffe from Kill Tony… where she may have accidentally pissed him off 😅

✨ And if you want to see her live—I’m hosting a comedy show with Chicky headlining on June 6th. Grab your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986179068059?aff=oddtdtcreato

One of my favorite moments from our conversation was when he shared that so much of his success is because of women—the support, the belief, and the opportunities they gave him along the way. It was such a powerful reminder of how community shapes us.

Today, you can see his influence all over Minneapolis. Through his decorating, his flowers, and the spaces he transforms, he’s constantly adding beauty and life to the city. He’s not just creating art—he’s shaping the energy of the community in such a positive, lasting way.

Richard is a reminder that when you fully step into who you are, you don’t just change your own path—you make the world around you more vibrant too.

Eva is the creative force behind Grandpa’s Pool House—a sexy, playful indoor pool house tucked away in Stanchfield, Minnesota. It’s the kind of place that feels like a hidden world… a photographer’s dream, a cinematic backdrop, and honestly, a full-on vibe. This gem has quietly become a go-to for creatives and even film productions, all in a small town just outside Cambridge.

She’s living proof that you can build something wildly unique from nothing but vision and grit. Eva shares how she brought this dream to life on her own—and didn’t stop there. She recently opened a wedding chapel in North Saint Paul called The Garter Toss—the “dive bar of wedding chapels.” Think: unapologetically fun, affordable, a little rebellious, and completely stripped of the pressure that weddings usually carry.

And in true life-meets-art fashion, we also bonded over something deeper—we both had babies around the same time. Wilhelm didn’t make it into the studio, but her 9-month-old absolutely stole the show.

Joining us was my husband, Jerred—a longtime fan of Dan’s music—and our 7-month-old son, Wilhelm, making for a warm, personal, and family-filled session. Dan talks about his love for playing music, his creative process, and what drives him to bring new life to both old classics and his original compositions.

True to his nature, Dan even played a few songs for us in the studio, because, as he says, he likes to play more than anything. His story, his music, and his gentle presence left us feeling inspired, and it’s clear why so many in Minneapolis are drawn to his talent.

While many know Scott for his iconic presence in the city’s art scene, few realize just how much he loves nature, especially fishing and snake hunting (strictly for observation, never harm). Since Scott doesn’t have a car, I’ve had the joy of taking him on countless fishing trips over the years, and this recording takes you along for the ride — literally.

Recorded in real time on one of our fishing adventures, this episode feels like you’re right there with us, listening to Scott share stories about his passion for fly fishing, his lifelong fascination with snakes, and even a few memories about keeping them as pets.
