  • Episode 104: Lusso Style
    Jan 13 2026
    On this episode presented by Busey Bank, we sit down with Drea Ranek and Melissa Nieberle, the founders of Lusso Style—a design house that’s redefining fan gear for women. What started as a luxury boutique 25 years ago has grown into a national brand partnering with major teams and retailers, from STL CITY SC to Bass Pro Shops. Their mission? To deliver fan apparel that’s as stylish and intentional as the women who wear it. This conversation comes at a pivotal time. Over the last decade, the female fan base in major U.S. sports has surged—NBA and MLS now hover around 45–47% female fans, and even the NFL boasts nearly 80 million women in its audience. Yet for years, women were underserved when it came to quality merchandise. Lusso saw that gap and decided to change the game. Today, we’ll talk about how they scaled from boutique to national partnerships, the design philosophy behind their collections, and what’s next for Lusso as women’s sports fandom continues to rise. And, as a note, my wife Melissa joined me as co-host since she’s both a fashion fan and huge sports fan. I'm also excited to welcome a new partner for the show - The Normal Brand - clothing rooted in Midwestern values. Co-founder Jimmy Sansone joined me awhile back (episode #67) and I'm a big supporter.

  • Episode 103: Nick Bognar | Indo, Sado, & Pavilion
    Dec 16 2025
    On this episode presented by Busey Bank, I'm sitting down with Nick Bognar—multiple James Beard Award semifinalist, chef, and the creative force behind three of St. Louis’ most celebrated dining experiences: Indo, Sado, and the newly opened Pavilion. Nick’s culinary journey started in his family’s kitchens, where his mom, aunt, and grandmother taught him the power of hospitality and flavor. From those early lessons to high-pressure kitchens in Austin and Cincinnati, Nick has blended tradition with innovation to create restaurants that consistently surprise and delight. In this conversation, we’ll explore what Nick learned from his family and how those values infuse his kitchens today. We’ll talk about leadership, scaling a restaurant group without losing its soul, and the creative discipline behind staying relevant in a competitive culinary scene.

  • Episode 102: Lisa Nichols | CEO Technology Partners
    Dec 2 2025
    On this episode, presented by Busey Bank, I'm sitting down with Lisa Nichols—CEO of Technology Partners, host of the Something Extra podcast, and now author of the newly released book by the same name. For over 30 years, Lisa has led with purpose, building one of the most respected IT staffing and solutions firms in the Midwest, all while championing culture, transparency, and mutual wins. We have a candid conversation about what it really takes to grow a company with heart. We’ll explore the lessons Lisa has learned from hundreds of podcast interviews, how she’s nurturing the next generation of tech leaders, and why she believes your growth quotient—your GQ—is just as important as your IQ or EQ. We’ll also dive into her new book, Something Extra, and the character traits she believes define transformational leadership.
