Longtime Twin Cities food voice, Stephanie March, former food editor at Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and founder of the nonprofit Salt Cure Fund, returns to the View in Your Mirror to explore the real meaning of hospitality and the vital role restaurants play in our lives. Stephanie shares how restaurants build community, provide comfort, and act as third places where families gather, business deals happen, and milestones are celebrated—while also being one of the country’s largest employers. The conversation weaves in the deep emotional ties people have to restaurants, the challenges the industry has faced since COVID, and why supporting local, independent hospitality businesses matters now more than ever. In honor of Women's History Month, we also celebrate the many women whose stories have shaped our podcast.

Visionary entrepreneur and designer Andrea (“Andi”) Rosenstein joins us, she is co-creator of the iconic clothing brand Fitigues and co-founder of The Duce, a one‑of‑a‑kind event space in downtown Phoenix.

Andi shares how a chance meeting with her husband, Steve, in Chicago’s apparel center led to a decades‑long partnership in life and business—from building Fitigues into a national brand that helped pioneer elevated, gym‑inspired casual wear, to selling the company and later buying it back nearly 20 years later. She explains the instinct, intuition, and love of “things that have been loved over time” that guide her creative decisions.

You’ll hear candid stories about risk‑taking, timing, and following a vision before the market catches up; what it’s like to build brands alongside your spouse and sons; and how threads of family, style, and place have woven through every chapter of Andi’s life.
