About Kate

Kate Kruse is a Vice President at Executive Podcast Solutions and the host of New Around Here. She is an Iowa native living in Kansas City and graduated from the University of Iowa in 2020 with a B.A. in Enterprise Leadership. Kate enjoys building relationships with her clients and helping them reach all of their podcasting goals. When she’s not working, you can find Kate at the gym, chasing around her dog Molly, or curled up on the couch with a good book (even better if there’s a game on in the background).

A fun fact about me is…

I strongly believe I would survive at least 48 hours in a zombie apocalypse.

Why I started New Around Here:

I started New Around Here because I was new to Kansas City and wanted to learn how others adjust to being new somewhere – whether that’s a city like me, or a team, entrepreneurial venture, whatever it is. We see a lot of people who’ve made it in the world, but did we see where they came from and how they got to where they are? That’s what we’re talking about on New Around Here.

If I could interview anyone in the world for a podcast, it would be…

Mac Miller because that means he’d be alive again. RIP.
