Casey Scott... healthcare professional, mother of 2, and classic rock lover. Next up for this renaissance mom, with her dad's '66 Impala in tow... running for State Rep. Check out our conversation, her reason for running, what she sees on the ground, and why her district deserves better.

Casey Scott For House District 2

Aaron is a true renaissance man... no, really. Entrepreneur, husband, father, musician, songwriter, mustache grower, and author. He joined me to talk about his new book:

The Death of Compromise: How an unquenchable thirst for power, racism and media has killed political and cultural compromise in America. (Amazon)

We talk about the unfortunate inspiration for the piece (Charlie Kirk's murder), and the dots he connected looking backwards, talking to those who were part of the machine, and projecting forward into the "what if." We also discuss his other passion, music. Why being a middle-aged white guy that sings "dead country" songs has no hope, but loves it nevertheless.

Intro Music by Beth Bombara

On January 1st of 2026, Marc St Pierre was ready to start the New Year. A knock on the door early in the day from a neighbor would change everything... permanently.

What he soon discovered was that the lifeless body of his best friend, his husband, was sitting just feet away in his patrol car, with a self-inflicted wound that brought about his own "End of Watch."

Having lost my own brother Dana to suicide, Marc and I had a very candid, direct, unscripted conversation about our experiences. We talk about the lack of signs at the time that turned out to be somewhat prophetic in hindsight, the "what-ifs," and so much more. We talk about how we reacted to the inquiries, what we missed, and what justifiably makes us mad now, at them, for what they did.

Consider donating to Special Olympics Missouri in honor of Officer Chris Pederson. Please follow Dana Michael Anderson on Spotify to hear his stories and celebrate the good.

Jim Goebel and Matthew Porter are two leading voices in the Data Center value prop argument here in the STL Region. Given their experience in the field, as well as telecom, and their entrepreneurial visions, we discuss how and why St. Louis could benefit greatly from the new wave. They lay out the argument for leaning into the taboo, explaining why it shouldn't be scary, why we can integrate the new technology into our existing footprint & infrastructure, and why if we don't... someone else will.
