Passion Studios is a playing-based music studio in Ankeny, IA. I chat with the owner Gabi Krieger on how a playing-based teaching system differentiates from the more traditional way many of us learned how to play music. We talk failure, success, and the importance of keeping parents involved in kids lives. Give this one a listen. I think you'll like it!

Grace Ballet and Acrobatics studio was founded in Ankeny by Anna Johnson. Growing up as a dancer herself, Anna learned how much she loved it and wanted to teach others. So, she started her own studio, dedicated to teaching kids that they are worth more than they believe, and that there is a place for them. She loves kids, and loves teaching. Give this one a listen; I think you'll like it!

Always Baked-Sweets and Treats was started with one principle in mind: these desserts are always baked with love. And in talking with owner Elida Wiseman, I can tell you that it is a fact. Elida is a warm individual with a love for baking, as well as a passion for pushing boundaries by incorporating different ingredients than you might think into her baked goods. I loved chatting with her (and eating the goodies she brought us), and I think you'll like this one. Give it a listen!
