    This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois sits down with Jamey Stegmaier, co-founder of the St. Louis-based tabletop game publisher Stonemaier Games. For over a decade, Jamey and his team have released games such as Expeditions, Scythe, Rolling Realms, and more, while pushing the possibilities of design & execution beyond the typical roll-and-play dynamics we have known for decades.

    Author Pooneh Sadeghi Has Brought Her Labor of Love to Life!

    This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois sits down with Pooneh Sadeghi, author of the recently released global thriller Rumi and the Retribution. The two discuss the age-old phrase "write what you know" and how Pooneh wove years of research and knowledge of Persian culture into a story rather than just write a non-fiction book. She dedicated years of writing and rewriting until her labor of love found a home with Roan & Weatherford Publishing Associates, and she wants to make sure that you don't give up on your own passion projects so you can hopefully reach the same success she has with hers.
