We're Olivia and Karla of Minneapolis folk duo, The OK Factor. Olivia is a cellist and Karla a violinist - by trade - but if we're being honest, our curiosities about living an authentic life filled with kindness and joy are where our passion lies. Our goal is to ask questions about our lives as entrepreneurs, women, parents (well, one of us anyway!), spouses (to other people, just to be clear), and friends and discover answers with a sense of curiosity. Basically, you're just listening in on conversations we'd be having in real life anyway, so we figure why not invite more people in? Pull up and a chair and join us, won't you?
