  • Will Eskay | Soccer Moved Me To The Lou

    Anthony and I were joined by Will Eskay this week on B-Side STL. Will hails from the mid-Atlantic coast world and happened across a St. Joe alum, that landed him in the 314. Now... he plays the game we all love and adore here in the Lou, that is... Soccer! As an ex D1 player, who now captains our St. Louis Ambush, in addition to his Director roll at St. Louis Stars Youth Soccer Club, Will and his wife, and his 1 year old, live in the CWE and have high hopes for the region.


    Brilliant chat with plenty to learn and more!

    5. Alex Fabry | PE & The Silver Tsunami in STL

      Alex Fabry is a moderate with simple, yet big ideas. The Chicago, via Boulder, via Palo Alto, via Austin, via back to Chicago, and now St. Louisan... eats rope provel like it's a bag of chips. But more importantly this Kellog grad has ideas and visions for the region that run counter to some of the louder more prevalant strategies and focuses. For example... population loss, in his view, isn't necessary a bad thing, and shifting focus from attracting to retaining is lower hanging fruit that would provide much greater community, business, and regional value. 


      It felt like we solved a load of World (STL) problems, and possibly didn't. But!!! It was a great conversation that pushed the envelope on what could be, what is, what should be talked about, and what should be ignored here in our resources rich flyover country!!!

      Give Alex a follow on LinkedIn for more of his services and insight:

    6. Kyle Juvers - Coffee with Mics

      About once every two months or so Kyle Juvers and I grab coffee at some STL classic that is NOT franchised and discuss all things political, popular, stupid, and more.

      The Illini grad, who was recently named a STL Business Journal "40 Under 40," joined me to drink more coffee, and talk more "stuff," only this time, on the mic.

    7. Is STL a "B-Side" City?

      Anyone who is a true music fan knows that the "B-sides" are always cooler, more relevant, and more true to who/what an artist/band is. CITIES ARE NO DIFFERENT!!! Nobody who lives in "X" city frequents "X" city's tourist attractions on a regular basis. They prefer to keep their favorite eateries off Yelp and IG. Locals want their pubs to feel more like a Wes Anderson movie than a James Cameron showpiece!


      Anthony Bartlett (from Acclimate City) joined "half empty" Dave Messner and I for a long chat about the pro's and con's of STL's options, it's identity, and it's secret gems.

      • Nick & Joe... "PC" Optional

        The Nick and Joe Show on Spotify is a perfect example of normal conversations, between normal buddies, with normal guests, that discuss all of the $hit we all think about, but few ever encroach. PC is not an afterthought because the intention is banter... not cruelty.


        Check out The Nick and Joe Show on Spotify

        Our conversation breaks down our hometown, the vibe, the culture, the politics, the optics, and most importantly... which Chinese is better: Vin Hoa OR Lamb's Garden. 

        From Steel, to J6, to RFK Jr., we cover it all.
