Welcome to Off The Beaten Podcast.

Hey friend! Welcome to my corner of the interwebs.

Off The Beaten Podcast is an exploration of Chicago and its people. On it you will hear discussions with the amazing personalities who make this city unique. You should listen if you are the type of person who enjoys engaging new places, fresh faces, and who wants to discover more of the city outside your own hood.

Podcasting.

I’ve heard my podcast described in many different way by this point, but one of my favorite remains, “A love letter to the city of Chicago.” My intention with Off The Beaten Podcast has always been to uplift the city, and the people who make it great. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet so many amazing people, and hear their stories, and now I’m working really hard to bring those stories to the world. I encourage you to give it a listen, and please share with friends.

Blogging.

Long before I even knew what a podcast was, I was an avid blogger. I’ve been blogging in some form or fashion since I was a teenager. I’m currently in the process of compiling all of my previous blogs into this one spot. It’s a work in progress, but I encourage you to check out what I’ve gotten started, and to check back often for updates.
