Welcome to The (mostly) Traverse City Podcast!
Get ready to meet the dreamers, doers, and difference-makers who make Traverse City (and its surrounding magic) so unforgettable. Each episode invites you into casual, heartwarming, and engaging conversations with the fascinating people who live, love, and thrive in this little slice of Northern Michigan paradise.
We’ll explore what brought them here, what keeps them inspired, and the everyday joys that make life in TC so vibrant. Whether it’s the perfect day by the bay, hidden foodie gems, or a sunrise hike that changes everything—you’ll find ideas, stories, and local love that will make you want to plan your next adventure (or move here ASAP).
It’s lighthearted, genuine, and a celebration of community, connection, and the beautiful place we call home.

Jordyn Ross, I’m the Development Director at Mt. Holiday, where I lead fundraising, sponsorships, and community engagement to support our mission of providing accessible year-round recreation for all. My focus is on building strong partnerships, expanding donor support, and developing programs that connect local families, youth, and organizations to the mountain and ensuring Mt. Holiday remains a cornerstone of our community for generations to come.
Before joining Mt. Holiday, I spent more than a decade in finance and leadership as a CPA, Financial Planner, and Mortgage Broker, helping individuals and businesses build long-term financial success. My experience in strategic planning, financial stewardship, and community-centered program development helps to sustain and grow our impact. Originally from Minnesota, I attended Northern Michigan University, where I fell in love with the Northern Michigan community and outdoor culture. Today, I’m passionate about giving back through youth ski programs, community partnerships, and initiatives that make outdoor recreation accessible to all and especially the next generation of local skiers and riders.
