Back in December 2021, podcaster Ryan Pak of Soundtrack Your LIfe welcomed Excelsior Journeys host and producer George Sirois to come on his show and talk about a specific soundtrack album that inspired me in some way. To close out this month's look at different podcasts, Ryan was gracious enough to allow the audio to be repurposed for Excelsior Journeys. Enjoy!

This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois continues his month-long celebration of other creatives who are using their personal outlets to show you that you are not alone. Poet Anastasia Lindsey has felt this ever since she discovered poetry and started writing her own. This has led her to share more work as a public speaker, continue guesting on other podcasts to increase the range of her mission statement, and preparing her first book of poems for purchase at all retailers available.

This episode of Excelsior Journeys is sponsored by author Andrew Allen Smith.

This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois starts his month-long miniseries simply titled "You Are Not Alone." This begins with a conversation with one of the most successful collaborations in indie publishing today: authors Rebecca Jaycox & MA (Molly) Phipps. After working as an editor and a cover designer at the now-defunct Aelurus Publishing, Jaycox & Phipps decided to join forces and tell a sweeping epic paranormal young adult trilogy entitled The Origin Prophecy. Once the trilogy was complete, the two decided to take it to the next level by creating an omnibus edition and setting it up as a Kickstarter campaign. It did not take long for the campaign to become fully funded, and with just a few days left, it is less than $250 away from reaching $10,000.
