    Ellie Palmer on processing her diagnosis through writing a cozy rom-com

    We sit down with Ellie Palmer, who wrote the romantic comedy novel she was looking for when she was diagnosed as a BRCA1 gene mutation carrier. As she recovered from a preventative mastectomy, she found herself drawn to romance novels, and she decided to write one with a protagonist who'd faced the same daunting medical situation she had. The result? A sweet, poignant, and funny "Four Weekends and a Funeral," set in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Hear about her writing process and what's next for this Minnesota author.

    Jewelry designer and entrepreneur Larissa Loden on taking the leap and following your creative passions

    Minnesota jewelry designer Larissa Loden seems to thrive when she has multiple creative endeavors going at once. Her self-titled business has stores in St. Paul and the Mall of America as well as an online shop. She also co-hosts the podcast “The World's Okayest Entrepreneur” and supports other entrepreneurs as a certified business coach. She didn’t always see herself as a business owner, though. She started her career as an art teacher. Over time, she followed her intuition and craving for more autonomy, and her once-small side project of jewelry designing took off. Now you can find people across the country wearing her fun, irreverent pieces. Hear the story of this evolution and the inspiration behind some of her most-sought-after pieces in this episode.  Find Larissa Loden’s jewelry at larissaloden.com.

    Minneapolis-based artist Victor Yepez began his career in Quito, Ecuador, where he attended college and quickly found an eager audience for his found-art sculptures, vivid paintings, and community-driven murals. When he moved to Minnesota, he continued his passion for public art and community involvement. His murals brighten many once-dreary walls and corners of the city, and he teaches classes throughout the Twin Cities to help others discover their own connections through art. ⁠https://www.victoryepezarts.com/⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/victoryepez.arts⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/victoryepezarts/⁠

    Ben Katzner on keeping it funny in multiple formats

    Welcome to season two of Minnesota Minds: Cultivating Creativity! Our first guest of the season is the hilarious Ben Katzner. Ben shares his story of starting his standup comedy career in St. Cloud, MN, then moving to New York City – only to be met a few years later with the Covid-19 pandemic. This of course upended life as we know it, and it forced stand-up comedians to get extra creative in how they continued their line of work. Ben also has published a graphic novel for kids, “Hello My Name Is Poop.” He now lives in Minneapolis, where he works as a full-time standup comedian and co-hosts the podcast, “Troll Hole,” featuring comedic stories of internet trolls. Follow Ben here: https://www.instagram.com/shaqkatzner/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9HwLt8K7e7d6fek2dAlt5w https://www.youtube.com/@TrollHolePodcast https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Ben-Katzner/186600325 https://www.instagram.com/darlingscomedyshow/
