Nathaniel Hudson, a Seattle native who had had enough "Patagonia Clutching," decided to go make changes. This international teacher turned HR/Recruiting Consultant traded the dreary/wet Pacific Northwest for the "dry-heat" of Arizona, and then decided it was time to bounce... to Communist China... really. His work/travel took him from the far east to Africa to the Middle East, with a Euro vacay that seemed to have landed his partner (Villa grad no less), and ultimately landed in the STL to raise his family.

Hosted by JB Anderson from Gaslight Studio STL & Anthony Bartlett of Acclimate City! Recorded live at Amsterdam Tavern in South St. Louis, THE Greatest Soccer Pub in America!!!

Peter Merideth is one of the most talented legislators to have battled and fought for STL in the blood "Red" halls of Jefferson City in a long time. Term'd out, this attorney turned soccer dad, and now Creve Couer resident (sorry Peter, had to), sat down and chopped up his pathway, his passion, and why everyone just gets it all wrong when it comes to what D's should and shouldn't do. We cover a lot of ground, ranging from MAGA populism vs. Bernie Bro's, STL's fractured region, why ballot initiatives are better than politicians, and who's on the horizon that impresses. We also talk about his next run... kind of! #politics #moleg #democrat #shaw #stlouis #stlouiscounty #progressives #solutions

Nate Burrell. Total Ace. This Northeastern Ohio native sat down with Anthony & JB at Whiskey Ring on Cherokee and chopped up "future history," rock and roll photography, Covid Snow Day Project, why STL, and what's next. A brilliant conversation that exposes some of the hidden realities and benefits that are plentiful in STL, but often ignored. Featured musicians: Nick Gusman - "Songbird" Beth Bombara - "I Only Cry When I'm Alone" Dana Michael Anderson - "Dreaming It Away"

Presented by Gaslight Studio STL & Acclimate City

I was joined by freshman 5th Ward Alderman Matt Devoti. We talk about the changing realities within the city, especially his home district, #5: The Hill, South Hampton, and more... We discuss ideas to help move development faster, smoother, and more equitably. We talk about the post tornado reality and what is working, as well as what is needed. And... food. STL food.

Robert Hamm... CEO/Founder of Hat Launch joined me along with buddy & CFO Tyler Smith. The GRANITE CITY ALUM, who's now a Highland Bulldog, talks about why wanting a Lamborghini changed everything. This Ranken Tech grad went from #softwareengineering to #stitching hats... and then some! A brilliant story about passion, growth, strategy, and simply doing what you love! check out Hat Launch and get your CAPS (not LIDS) from an incredible crew with an even better story! #customhats #printing #smallbusiness #stlouis #stlmade #dudewipes #lambonotincluded

The "Prairie Witch" from Edwardsville... Lindsey Wehking. This Mizzou J-School grad flew the coop and headed to NYC to take on a bigger challenge, with bigger expectations, and walked away with a bigger appreciation for her roots. This Journalism/Anthropologist superstar talks with Anthony and JB about her path, culture, the wins, the losses, and the "IRL" factor. Incredible insight was dropped from her lived experiences, especially stemming from her work at Non-Fiction Research out of NYC. FYI... it's not about the "huSTL"

Really.

Mitch Meyers is a powerhouse. This long-time ad heavyweight cut her teeth at a time when most of the men in the industry discounted women... period. She didn't care. As one of the brains behind arguably the greatest beer ad campaign ever, she has outkicked all the coverage. Bud Light was expected to be a flop... but little did the WORLD know, or realize, that Spuds MacKenzie (a girl, by the way) would change the face of beer forever. Now she's been battling in a new sandlot... Weed. Cannabis is an exploding industry providing untapped medicinal, social, physical, and psychological benefits, all while battling outdated public perceptions and legal challenges. Enjoy... she is truly amazing! BeLeaf Medical
