At the end of year press conference where the Cardinals announced a pivot toward youth and debuted their buzzword "reset" to describe a reduction in payroll and commitment to development, St. Louis' veteran sportscaster Randy Karraker asked what has changed for the club. It was just six years ago that ownership said a .500 team was acceptable in other markets, but just a winning record wasn't enough in St. Louis, where division titles were the goal and National League pennants fly high. Karraker's question prompted a discussion on whether the Cardinals are changing expectations and their brand. That is the launching point for a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball as host and baseball writer Derrick Goold asks Karraker what questions fans should ask at the team's annual "kickoff" to the season. The 28th annual Cardinals Care Winter Warm-up will be over the holiday weekend at Ballpark Village and Busch Stadium, and three times fans will have a chance to ask Cardinals leadership directly about this shift in direction and stagnant winter. Karraker and Goold outline the questions that could be asked, the answers they're likely to get, and what all of this means is at stake for the year ahead. Karraker put it bluntly: The current Cardinals leadership hatched the Golden Goose, nurtured and benefited from it for at least two decades, and now run the risk of losing it. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. It appears weekly wherever you subscribe or listen to podcasts and is part of the newspaper's Constant Cardinals Coverage.

Katie Lee owns Katie's Pizza & Pasta with three locations in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Recently, the pizza company scored a huge client for its frozen pizza line to be sold in Walmart grocery stores starting in mid-to-late 2025. We get into what went into such a lucrative retail deal. There is so much more to Katie Lee's story. She shares her background, how she started her business and what led her into the frozen market.  For more details on the Walmart deal, see the following release: Owner Katie Lee and Culinary Director Chef Jake Sanderson received the news onsite at Walmart headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, immediately following their pitch, which focused on Lee's unrelenting drive to grow the brand and keep doing more to share their award-winning offerings with a wider audience. Only a fraction of the hundreds of businesses who pitch thousands of products during Walmart's Open Call receive the prestigious Golden Ticket offer.  “We did it! We got a Golden Ticket,” said Lee. “It's the American dream come true, and we're so proud to expand into Walmart. We're so grateful to our St. Louis fans who have supported us as we started offering frozen pizzas through our restaurant business during the pandemic. We dreamed big and expanded into local grocery outlets, nationwide shipping, then moved into wider retail distribution, and now Walmart.” Katie's is outperforming the strong frozen pizza category with over 100% growth year over year for the past three years, which is 10 times the growth of the entire category. What sets the Katie's frozen pizza line apart is the team's commitment to hand-crafting the premium artisan pizzas daily with scratch ingredients. Katie's is the only restaurant of its size that makes pizzas and pastas by hand for retail, raising the bar on packaged frozen food. Going the extra mile ensures freshness and quality in every hand-stretched wood-fired pizza.  Following the 2021 renovation of its frozen production facility, Katie's frozen pizzas and pasta bakes became available at local St. Louis grocers Dierbergs Markets and Straubs. Growth continued with additional expansions into retailers including Fresh Market, Fresh Thyme, Kings-Balduccis, Mothers, Whole Foods Markets and more.  About Katie's Pizza & Pasta Katie's Pizza & Pasta's promise is to create moments of enjoyment between friends and family through passion-filled food and warm hospitality. Katie Lee's dream to bring hand-made, in-house artisan and Neapolitan pizza to St. Louis began through one location under the ownership of her father, Tom Lee, in 2008. Today, KPP includes three locations. KPP Rock Hill opened in 2013 followed by the Town & Country location in 2017. The largest location opened in 2023 in downtown St. Louis' Ballpark Village featuring a pasta-making station, wood-fired grill, expansive patio, private events space and in-house market selling to-go items. Katie's portfolio of fresh and frozen pizzas, pastas and sauces are available at many grocery retailers and shipped nationwide. Since 2014, KPP's “Giveback Tuesday” program has donated over $470,000 to St. Louis-based charities. To learn more and sign up for our newsletter visit KatiesPizzaAndPasta.com.

In this extremely fun episode, I had the pleasure of talking with St. Louis Cardinals stadium emcee Todd Thomas. Known around Busch Stadium, Ballpark Village, and basically anywhere in St. Louis as “That One Guy,” Todd and I discuss a wide range of topics, such as how he got his start with Cardinals, how he became a Cardinal fan, and his Mt. Rushmore of favorite Cardinals of all time. But that's just the beginning. He tells SO MANY awesome stories, ranging from Jr. High track, to addressing a raucous Busch Stadium crowd celebrating a World Series, to shaving mullets (that story is an all timer). There's even a Lou Brown impression for good measure. Nothing left to say but LISTEN AND ENJOY.

It was a short show today before we turned it over for a full day of Cardinals baseball.

Cat Neville joins Megan Lynch to preview Tourism Week AND Explore St Louis's event at Ballpark Village next Wednesday morning before the Cardinals game. PLUS, her weekly, suggestions for what to do this weekend.

And for 10 years, Ballpark Village has been the next-door neighbor to the one and only St Louis Cardinals. In celebration of the start of the season and to commemorate 10 years, we sat down with Mike Lamartina, the Chief Operating Officer, to talk about it all. We discuss the significance of the work-play-live concept of BPV, how they're preparing to celebrate a decade in business and how they continue to grow and expand.

I've got to give a shout out to Timmy Hanser. Tim is in our firm, visionary wealth advisors, and you guys go way back, right? We go all the way back. All the way back. Our dads were in high school together here at my CDS. Yep. And then they went to college together, and we used to do family trips with them. And then of course, you know, his family's part of the Cardinals as well. So yeah, it goes way back. That's awesome. Well, great, great guy. We're lucky to have him. And so you are a Yale graduate and a Harvard graduate. That's pretty impressive. A Scratch golfer. Maybe. Plus or minus. Plus or minus. President of St. Louis Cardinals, of course. And also in the St. Louis Sports Commission Board, which we share a mutual board there. I did not go to the Christmas party last night. Did you go? I did not. I was unable to make it. So we'll dive in a lot of great stuff today, Bill. But before we get started, could you kind of just give us a backstory? What's made you the man you are today? I know that's a big question, but there's usually something in there that I like to draw out of people and would love to hear your message. Yeah. I mean, I think for me, starts with family, you know, born and raised in Cincinnati. My parents are both from St. Louis. They, they were raised here. But in the my dad's father, my grandfather, was in baseball's whole life. And he bounced around. So he was with the Browns, the Cardinals, the Yankees, the Tigers. And then in in various roles, but mainly as general manager and part owners of some of those. But he also, his big move was to move to Cincinnati in the early 60s. And he bought the rats. So he was the sole owner and general manager. Wow. And so my family moved there. And then he sold it late 60s. But my dad, my parents stayed in Cincinnati and raised us there. So when my dad got involved in the Cardinals and led the group that bought it from Anheuser-Busch back in 1996, it was sort of a homecoming for them. Yeah. But it was a new city for me. Right. So you were held at that time? I was just at a business school here. And late 20s. And so that's kind of how I ended up here. But as far as like what made me who I am, that is a big question to start with. Coming out strong. Yeah. I mean, I just would say it's where I'm family oriented. Love being part of the St. Louis community. And I think, you know, for me, this has been such a great platform to just kind of do what I do, which is I like to do a lot of different things. You know, so my role with the Cardinals keeps me very busy and mostly on the business side of things, but obviously occasionally on the baseball side, mostly on the strategic level. But even with that busy job, I feel like, and I've always felt that, you know, to be mentally healthy, I have to also be doing sports and, you know, doing events or things with my kids or my wife or whatever. And then also, I have an artistic side and that which I pursue. And so it's really about like, I think having my toe in a lot of different waters. Yeah. That's sort of what I would say describes my approach to life.

On this episode of the Circuit of Success, host Brett Gilliland interviews Katie Collier, the owner of Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria. At 20, Katie created the business plan for the first and original location, Katie's Pizzeria, with a dream to bring hand-made, in-house artisan and Neapolitan pizza to St. Louis. Under the ownership of her father, Tom Lee, Katie's Pizzeria opened its doors in February 2008. She recently opened her 3rd location in Ballpark Village in Downtown St. Louis. When COVID-19 hit, and dining rooms across the country closed, Katie acted fast. She and her team immediately began freezing and selling their pizzas to save the restaurants and protect the livelihood of Katie's team. They now ship their pizza throughout the U.S. and their products are available in grocery stores nationwide. Katie shares her journey from opening this pizzeria in St. Louis in 2008 to becoming homeless and eventually finding sobriety. She talks about the importance of thinking big and believing in yourself and encourages entrepreneurs to never give up. https://youtu.be/ZfLSvypx4V8 Speaker Brett Gilliland: Welcome to the Circuit of Success podcast.
