Startups in st louis St Louis is a good place for startups and entrepreneurs for several reasons - the low cost of living and running a business, there are universities, it's easy to get hold of people in St Louis. Since 2014, VC deals have gone from $2.7m up to $12m last year. Last year's record high investment statistic is probably thanks to the low interest rate. We expect the number to be lower this year because of the rising interest rates and the companies have been laying off staff to remain profitable. Exits in St Louis haven't been hugely impressive. From a PR standpoint, it helps to have an exit, but having well-run businesses in St Louis would be better from an investment standpoint. The unfortunate situation in St Louis is that many businesses end up leaving to other parts of the country for better opportunities. The worrying part of remote work is that employees would rather work from Austin or Silicon Valley, so startups in St Louis end up incubating more startups.   Brofessional Development Podcast is hosted by St. Louis Business Owners Bobby Drummond, Brad Loyet, Dan Greiner, and Matt Kresko!     Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/brofessionaldevelopment Facebook: www.facebook.com/brofessionaldevelopment Twitter: www.twitter.com/brofessionald Listen to the Brofessional Development podcast on: Our Website: www.brofessionaldevelopment.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brofessional-development-podcast/id1525013123 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/18Mm3zIWLUl3vdAj0zBYHj Our Businesses: Brad Loyet: www.bpfabshop.com www.bloyet.com Dan Greiner: www.fullcircleplacements.com Nathan Rubbelke www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/ www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/inno

Talking about the Flations Greed/stag/shrink-flation Greedflation is, in theory, where companies raise their prices in industries where inflation hasn't been that significant. This is an opportunity for companies to raise their prices unnoticed because otherwise consumers would get confused at the different rates of inflation. The indicator for greedflation not being a real thing is healthcare prices. These prices typically go up higher than the rate of inflation. In the past year, healthcare prices have been lower than inflation. The reason it's political is because they're trying to pass bills that cap how much corporations can charge. Shrinkflation is when companies keep prices the same, but they'll put less into the packages. A 10% product size shrinkage is equivalent to an 11% price increase. The best way to keep your eye on shrinkflation is to look at unit prices. With half of all grocery purchases being unplanned, there's a lot of money being paid where it doesn't need to be. Some ways to find shrinkflation: If you buy store brand versus name brand, they're typically the last to reduce their content. Also, compare price per ounce instead of grabbing the first item you find. Stagflation is when we have persistent high inflation, combined with high unemployment and a stagnant demand for employment.   Follow us: Instagram:        www.instagram.com/brofessionaldevelopment Facebook:         www.facebook.com/brofessionaldevelopment Twitter:            www.twitter.com/brofessionald   Listen to the Brofessional Development Podcast: Website:                       https://brofessionaldevelopment.com Apple Podcasts:            https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brofessional-development-podcast/id1525013123 Spotify:                         https://open.spotify.com/show/18Mm3zIWLUl3vdAj0zBYHj   Brofessional Development Podcast is hosted by St. Louis Business Owners Bobby Drummond, Brad Loyet, Dan Greiner, and Matt Kresko!

What we would do if we won the lottery Last week, the Powerball winner got $1.4Billion. If Sal won the Powerball, he would've paid his parents' mortgage off and bought himself a house. The rest of us would buy all the toys and we would get all our closest friends to quit their jobs and work for us. 70% of all lottery winners lose all the money within 5 years. The thing with money is, the more you have, the more you spend. If you're not making money, you will run out, no matter how much you win. Sports News Some of these NFL suspensions make no sense. Deshaun Watson was suspended for 6 games, while Calvin Ridley was suspended for a year for betting on games when he wasn't even playing. The NFL also suspended the Dolphins owner $1.5Million for offering Tom Brady partial ownership to sign him. In other sports news, the Cardinals did not win Juan Soto. We're not too upset with this result. We're more impressed with Otani's talent, to be honest. He's like the next Babe Ruth.   Follow us: Instagram:        www.instagram.com/brofessionaldevelopment Facebook:         www.facebook.com/brofessionaldevelopment Twitter:            www.twitter.com/brofessionald   Listen to the Brofessional Development Podcast: Website:                       https://brofessionaldevelopment.com Apple Podcasts:            https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brofessional-development-podcast/id1525013123 Spotify:                         https://open.spotify.com/show/18Mm3zIWLUl3vdAj0zBYHj   Brofessional Development Podcast is hosted by St. Louis Business Owners Bobby Drummond, Brad Loyet, Dan Greiner, and Matt Kresko!

In the 103rd episode of the Brofessional Development Podcast, Bobby and Sal will talk about some current events such as Sal's trip to Las Vegas, what and when their next event is going to be, the St. Louis flash flood, choco tacos, and about Saudi Arabia building the next Hunger Games. Stay tuned! About Sal [0:37] Sal is flying to Las Vegas for the first time in his life for his friend's bachelor party. He is also going to turn 29 on his birthday on Saturday. Las Vegas Trip [1:11] Sal hasn't really hung out with most of them, so it will be the first time for him. They're planning to play golf, and Sal says he isn't very good with it. Bobby mentions he will be in Vegas too in under a month. Upcoming Events [4:58] Bobby has a weekend golf tournament for a charity scramble for the St. Louis Sports Commission with Matt James. They also have an event on August 17th for Drive Social Media with special guest speaker Zack Schafer talking about conflict management and other difficult conversations. Flash Flood [5:56] Bobby talks about the St. Louis flash flood and how he saw multiple warnings about it on his phone. He went on throughout his day until there was a torrential downpour halfway through his walk, and it ended up being worse and worse. Total rainfall for that day was nine inches, 25% of what St. Louis usually gets for the year. Lotteries [11:19] Sal talks about how when the prize money gets really high, he and his friends would pitch in and plan to split up the money if they win. Bobby wonders how people who won the lottery go broke eventually and compares them to professional athletes who get paid big but eventually go bankrupt. Sports [15:24] Sal and Bobby talk about sports and the organizational moves of teams. Teams who were perennial threats to almost nothing overnight. Saudi Arabia's Plans [20:20] Saudi Arabia released plans for a 100-mile long, 200-meter wide, mirrored vertical city across the desert—a massive city in just one single line across the desert. Sal and Bobby share their thoughts about it, especially on how it will affect the surrounding ecosystem.   Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/brofessionaldevelopment Facebook: www.facebook.com/brofessionaldevelopment Twitter: www.twitter.comj/brofessionald Listen to the Brofessional Development podcast on: Our Website: www.brofessionaldevelopment.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brofessional-development-podcast/id1525013123 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/18Mm3zIWLUl3vdAj0zBYHj Brofessional Development Podcast is hosted by St. Louis Business Owners Bobby Drummond, Brad Loyet, Dan Greiner, and Matt Kresko

Every morning you wake up with a blank slide. You get a new chance to build it up how you want it.  It's not just about saying you have a sweet morning routine but having a beneficial routine that you can see progress over time.

Everybody you can think of wakes up in the first 15/20min and probably does the exact same thing every day subconsciously, but when you start to turn that into something conscious where you control the morning routine, I think that's where you see progress. Having some type of routine actually gives some regularity so that you're less prone to being stressed. The greatest gift you have every single morning is the fact that you woke up. So, instead of taking that time and thinking of something that stresses you out or something that pisses you off. Think about something positive to start your day, and you will have already had million-dollar money. If you want to change the world, start by making your bed. The visualization thing is important, but you have to take action towards it. Every morning you wake up with a blank slide. When you look at social media or check your emails, you are giving those external things an opportunity to start your day off.

The present moment is the key to liberation. Why sacrifice anxiety of the future or feeling regretful in the past so you can enjoy this moment? If you are anxious, you are living in the future, if you are depressed, you're living in the past, and if you're happy, you're living in the present. What you focus on grows. Every opportunity that I get and turn down, the opportunity that I know will grow me. There is a cost to that. Accept that this might really take off, but I am not going to be part of it. Fear of missing out is a natural thing, but there are ways to overcome it.

So, continually putting stuff out there and giving free information, people will follow you. If you make your entire YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram about pushing a product, it will get stoked. People are going to stop watching and go away. Understanding that you are not alone in the problems you are going through helps push you past the point most people get stuck. Every single investor I know has two things in common. They wish they had started earlier, and two, they all pay for some type of subscription or coaching service. Having the right mentorship just keeps you out of the gutters. It's going to save you time, money, and headaches.

We learn from reflecting on experience. I have all this shit going on, I have all these people bending against me, but I'm gonna come out on top.” The best revenge is success, but more importantly, the best revenge is becoming a better person. Whenever shitty circumstances arise or are out of control in your life, you have two options. Sit down and be like, bitch, and let your life become shittier and just say it's like you are a victim of circumstances someone else created or just move forward. When you reflect, you can have a better understanding of where you want to go and how you want to build on that.

As we start a new year, everyone is looking forward to being a better version of themselves. What areas do you need to improve on? How do you intend to remain persistent in hitting your goal? Any goal properly set is halfway reached. You need to know where you are going before you get there and be persistent.  In this episode, we look at how we can keep ourselves accountable and where we plan to go in 2022. Besides, we discuss why we begin to fall off months after setting our goals, auditing our goals, finding a business, how you can leverage on debt, and also reflect on our growth for the past year besides our bank statement. Tune in for more!   In this episode [18:53] Quotes on goals [21:20] Auditing your goals [23:46] Paying yourself and separating your personal expenses while in business. [27:42]Goals for 2022 [30:41] Leveraging on debt [34:22] Finding a business [36:18] Biggest areas of change over the past year besides financial growth.   Powerful Quotes At any level in every sort of business, if you do not have a process and you are not habitual in something that you do, daily, weekly, you are never going to hit those goals. The reason we do not end up hitting our goals is because we stop. In order to hit those goals, you got to stay on a daily test, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. You got to keep updating. It does no good having no debt if I'm planning on it making me more money. If you look at the super successful people financially, they are leveraging debt. That's the only way to gr ow and build your cash flow positive. The goal is not just having a business and being like the face of the business. The goal is to have the business running without you and growing without you.
