From the East Midlands to Manchester to Sydney to London to New York to San Francisco to St. Louis — this one spans the atlas.
Co-founder of The Finance Innovation Lab and The Systems Studio, Rachel Sinha has helped rewrite the global playbook on systems change and social finance — and somehow did half of it while crossing oceans with two kids under two.
These Liverpool cats and Chelsea dogs talk good teeth, bad recessions, German coaching, Russian oligarching, green cards, post-doc fellowships, and what it really takes to build a life — and a movement — across worlds.
Who threads capitalism, climate, and childcare into one sentence — and still makes it funny? Oh wait…

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. Looking to lock in that out of state talent needed to take your biz to the next level?

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.

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.
