We broke bread, drank his new Vodka, told stories, listened to many, and discovered why he keeps coming back to #stlouis #zamirgotta #bourdain #vodka #book #family #friends

Jim Goebel believes STL's boom is on the horizon, that it is inevitable, and simply a matter of time. Quite a narrative at a time where the region's self-loathing is at a level 9.5 on a 10 scale... so why? As a native Hoosier from Evansville IN, Jim's path in the 90's and 00's routed him here twice... with the 2nd time round permanent. Growing his business during the last chapter of the "Baby Bells" and an early participant in the Cloud game. Jim breaks down his journey and the role St. Louis played in his career, and the ensuing success he achieved. We spend a lot of time on what he views as the best "Next," and hint... it is based on the "Data" provided by the region's natural resources, infrastructure, and vacancies. Take a listen, review, share, and support to help us keep these stories coming!

Mike Grennier is a Detroit native who has landed and fallen in love with The Lou. A career in talent acquisition that includes spells at Walmart, Deloitte, & Mallinckrodt has brought him to St. Louis via Perficient to continue his trade. Incredible chat that exposes some "inside baseball" when it comes to acknowledging and witnessing first hand his OG hometown of Detroit struggle, then turn it around, and then apply it to his new hometown that is struggling and connect some dots as to what might work moving forward... hint: it's Downtown.
