On January 1st of 2026, Marc St Pierre was ready to start the New Year. A knock on the door early in the day from a neighbor would change everything... permanently.

What he soon discovered was that the lifeless body of his best friend, his husband, was sitting just feet away in his patrol car, with a self-inflicted wound that brought about his own "End of Watch."

Having lost my own brother Dana to suicide, Marc and I had a very candid, direct, unscripted conversation about our experiences. We talk about the lack of signs at the time that turned out to be somewhat prophetic in hindsight, the "what-ifs," and so much more. We talk about how we reacted to the inquiries, what we missed, and what justifiably makes us mad now, at them, for what they did.

Consider donating to Special Olympics Missouri in honor of Officer Chris Pederson. Please follow Dana Michael Anderson on Spotify to hear his stories and celebrate the good.

Jim Goebel and Matthew Porter are two leading voices in the Data Center value prop argument here in the STL Region. Given their experience in the field, as well as telecom, and their entrepreneurial visions, we discuss how and why St. Louis could benefit greatly from the new wave. They lay out the argument for leaning into the taboo, explaining why it shouldn't be scary, why we can integrate the new technology into our existing footprint & infrastructure, and why if we don't... someone else will.

I was joined by two state Reps from different sides of the aisle, but with respect and hands outstretched... a rarity in the "show-me-state." We discuss the upcoming proposal, strategy, reality, and hopes of the potential elimination of the State Income Tax. Will an increase of Sales and Service Tax's be enough to pay our bills, and more importantly... who will. actually benefit???

Matt James is an enigma. Let's add it all up... Grew up in a steel town. Military Vet. Worked in an oil refinery. Union. Retired. Kinda a Nudi$t. Grows peppers. Raises farm animals. HAS OVER 50K FOLLOWERS ON TIK TOK (CLICK HERE)... and has a deep hatred towards hate, MAGA, and the like. That would barely scratch the surface.

A dear friend who has been around through all the good, the bad, the ugly, the death, the trauma, and then some... we just chat. From Suicide to voyeurism, and a touch of fascism, there's plenty to chew on.
