Dear Nina Events

“Dear Nina LIVE” in Minneapolis (Excelsior, Minnesota to be more exact) brings the top 1% podcast, Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, off the mic and into the room. We’re celebrating five years of the show with some “sips & sweets” and a live episode-style conversation featuring friendship advice that will change your life. Yes, Nina is sure of it! This event will NOT be recorded so make sure to join what will be a meaningful and fun night out. There are plenty of great restaurants in and around Excelsior. Make it a full summer evening with friends that you won’t forget!
