Today we are excited to be joined by the very woman who has painted most (not the mural behind us though) of the art that hangs in our studio - the one and only Rachel Hinz! Rachel is a transplant from Michigan who has spent the last eight years making St. Louis her home and contributing to the artistry that our community is widely recognized for. She does all this while maintaining a career and being the woman of the house for her husband and three kids. Whether you're an artist or convinced that you don't have such skills, this is a great listen for anyone who wants a big dose of positivity and a push to find their creative spirit!

Today we are excited to bring Jen Bardot to our table to talk about her endeavors in building communities, publishing international best sellers, and what it's like being an entrepreneur raising three young men! Loads of experience going back to her days working for Enterprise Bank, Jen has taken her skills from the days of getting folks approved for loans to fund their dreams to writing multiple books and using that ethos to invest into her own community focused on GRIT. One thing about St. Louis folks - they're gritty and Jen's mission to help thousands of people get in touch with that is EXACTLY what this show is all about.

Today we are so excited to bring you one of the top 185 lb bjj competitors in the world (18th to be precise) Nick Mataya fresh off his win at CXBJJ here in St. Louis only a couple weeks back. Having wrestled most of his youth, Nick felt the gap that was left from the sport while he was studying to become a physical therapist at Mizzou. Now only six years after getting into the sport - Nick has made quite a name for himself having competed at ADCC and earned every bit of the accolades attached to his name. A great guy with a lot to share not only in jiu jitsu but also when it comes to being a husband, father, and health professional - we're so grateful for this episode and hope to see him again!
