About Us

You can't sit with us, but you can SIP with us!

Sip With Me is a podcast hosted by Aaron Carlson and Ioanna Kekatos featuring conversations with brands, creators, and storytellers from Chicago and beyond. From iconic institutions to niche favorites, we spotlight the stories behind the experiences that inspire us!

Our Story

We met over a decade ago teaching Zumba classes at Loyola University Chicago, and quickly became lifelong friends bonded by creativity, community, and conversation. As born-and-raised Chicagoans, we’ve always been inspired by the people and businesses that make this city and the world so special. In 2020, during the uncertainty of the pandemic, we created Sip With Me as a way to slow down, connect, and tell the stories behind the creatives, brands, and individuals we admire. What began as a shared idea between real best friends has grown into a platform dedicated to spotlighting positivity, creativity, and meaningful stories worth sharing.
