Welcome back to the Mission of Spe Podcast! In this episode, Mark sits down at St. Louis Union Station with Brian O'Loughlin, Vice President, and Cameron Schoeffel, Director of Sales & Entertainment at Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM)—the team behind some of St. Louis’s most iconic hospitality destinations.

Brian and Cameron share the inside story of Union Station’s transformation, the art of hospitality, and how LHM is building community through innovative events—including the Market Mile, a unique downtown race and fitness festival that’s quickly become a new St. Louis tradition.

What’s Inside:

  • The evolution of St. Louis Union Station: from historic train hub to a vibrant center for entertainment, dining, and family fun.
  • The story behind the Market Mile: how LHM partnered to launch this one-of-a-kind race, its roots in the 1980s Market Street Mile, and its mission to bring people together downtown.
  • How the Market Mile is more than just a run—it's a celebration of community, wellness, and St. Louis pride, complete with a post-race party, local vendors, and opportunities to support nonprofit partners.
  • Insights into LHM’s approach to hospitality, event creation, and the vision for the future of Union Station and Westport Plaza.
  • The impact of events like the Market Mile and Polar Express on the local economy, tourism, and the spirit of St. Louis.
