Excelsior! Podcast
The image behind Excelsior! is a woman with Oculus glasses resting on her head—symbolizing the choice to see the world through someone else’s lens.
Excelsior! is a long-form interview podcast designed to challenge the way we connect with our community. Each episode invites you to slow down, listen, and step into the real stories of Twin Cities artists and entrepreneurs—their journeys, struggles, and what drives them.

Because community isn’t built from quick impressions—it’s built from understanding.

This podcast exists to create that connection. By getting to know the people behind local businesses and art, we can make more intentional choices about who we support. It’s about putting our money into our people—uplifting, strengthening, and investing in the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of the Twin Cities.
​
Excelsior! is a platform, a perspective shift, and a growing archive of the voices that make this community vibrant.
Get to know your community. Be inspired. Support local.

Latest Episode

Daniel Rosen Loves Spicy Gluten Snacks!

I got to sit down with Dan Rosen — singer, guitarist, writer, and creator of the Twin Cities band 🔪 — for a really fun episode of Excelsior!
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 is an episode you don’t want to miss.
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:
