Chris Runge of Alexandria, Minnesota, is the founder of Runge Cars, a company known for its innovative and uniquely designed handbuilt vehicles. As a coachbuilder, Runge specializes in creating custom-made cars based on individual specifications and bringing the design to life.
Josh from Marshall, Minnesota, initially launched “The Daily Lunch” as a food blog, documenting his daily lunch at the Main Stay Coffee Shop where the order was the same every day. His blog also featured drawn pictures that he created for the wait staff. These were later transformed into stickers, gaining him the nickname “the sticker guy.” He currently has over 150 stickers in his collection and enjoys the engagement that comes with this line of work.
Anna Spickelmier of Madison, Minnesota, fell in love with painting as a child. Over time, she drifted away from it, but two years ago, a gift card to an art store from her sister inspired her to begin once again. She committed to dedicating two hours each week to art and, over time, rediscovered her love of watercolors.
