Eric Loves Pizza!Who knew diapers could make for such a fun conversation?
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!

This month's Guest of the Month is Dan Rosen—singer, guitarist, writer, and creator of the Twin Cities band Knife Emoji.
I had the chance to sit down with Dan for a really fun episode of Excelsior!, where we talked about music, writing, creativity, art, and the stories behind making it all happen.
Dan and I have been collaborating on the visuals for Knife Emoji's upcoming album release, and I had the honor of creating the band's album photos. We also photographed at the legendary Pachyderm Recording Studio, making for an unforgettable creative experience and some incredible images.
One of the funniest parts? Even though we'd already been working together on the album artwork, our podcast recording was actually the first time we met in person!
Knife Emoji has a new album on the way, and after hearing Dan talk about the creative process behind it, I'm even more excited for everyone to experience what the band has been creating. Be sure to tune in to this episode of Excelsior! for an inspiring conversation about music, creativity, and the connections that bring art to life.
