Have you seen the Duh Moyn apparel around town? I started seeing the stuff pop up on my Instagram feed a few months ago and I was really curious about who was behind it.

Read MoreChances are you've seen John Bosley's work whether you know it or not. His prints are sold at local gems like Domestica and each one has a particular warmth that catches your eye instantaneously.

Read MoreI have an extensive list of people I want to feature on the site and near the top of this year's list was my friend, Emily Boyd. Somehow between both of our schedules we found time to meet up at La Mie to talk about Emily's involvement in neighborhood revitalization here in Des Moines. Emily's one of the busiest people I know, but also one of the happiest. I think she's found that sweet spot where her deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet up.
Read MoreJodi Whitworth is young, but she's already successful. She's a reporter at WHO-TV (for you locals, that's Channel 13) and has been in that capacity the last two years. It's easy to see why she's found success: she's a good listener, a natural storyteller, and her responses are fast and thoughtful.
After the six o’ clock news finished filming, we proceeded to the sound stage where we sat down to talk about her work as a journalist and who she dreams of interviewing.
