In this episode of House of Lou, Veronica explores the topic of home renovations, a subject that has become even more relevant as St. Louisans grapple with repairs to their homes in the aftermath of the tornado on May 16. Guests Kristin Moomey, an architect with HKW Architects, and Maria Hogrefe, principal and co-founder of C&M Interiors, take us inside their personal renovation stories, offering their experiences as guidance on how to start a project, plan a budget, and manage the stress and overwhelm inherent to all renovations. Their stories, in tandem with their professional expertise, give listeners the confidence they need to tackle repairs, both big and small. What important lessons can we learn from them? In hindsight, what might Moomey and Hogrefe have done differently, and how can we all benefit from the vision behind a historic house restoration in Benton Park (Moomey) and a fixer-upper family home project in South County (Hogrefe).

For this Rapid Response Friday, we answer patron questions on everything from how to examine a warrant to why Donald Trump will never be sending anyone to Alcatraz. We also consider just how bad the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the administration's ban on trans military service members actually is, how the single biggest financial corruption scandal in Presidential history is happening right now right in front of us, and why the forced departure of the acting DC U.S. Attorney is some of the best news this country has had since January 20, 2025. Also: a surreal Black Mirror-style footnote about the first time a U.S. courtroom has ever heard a victim's statement in a video made years after his death.

Quinn Antonio Briceño, a Nicaraguan-American artist in St. Louis, earned his bachelor's degree in fine art from the San Francisco Art Institute (2017) and a master's degree from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art (2022). Notable achievements include winning the Ann Metzger National Biennial in 2019 and being a finalist for the AXA Art Prize in 2021. Featured in publications such as All the Art, Friend of the Artist (Issue 10), St. Louis Magazine, Design St. Louis, and New American Paintings (No. 155, 165, 167), Briceño's works grace private collections nationwide. ------ Briceño's art, a reflection of dualities shaped by two countries, languages, and cultures, explores the perpetual pressure to choose between them. Consciously integrating Americana with Latinx influences, Briceño constructs a visual language bridging cultural gaps. His creations carve a unique space, offering solace to those burdened by societal expectations, and through painting and collage, he weaves a tapestry celebrating identity. Briceño's work is a dual exploration, sharing his personal struggle and narrating a journey towards acceptance, inclusion, and empowerment for the marginalized and forgotten. -----

Advancing technology had the potential to make libraries obsolete, but instead brilliant leadership took advantage of new tech to reinvigorate a beloved neighborhood staple. The St. Louis County Library (SLCL) began a revitalization project to strengthen its ties to the community and keep it relevant in their eyes.Kristen Sorth, director and CEO of SLCL, joined But Who's Counting? hosts Dave Hartley and Missy Kelley to discuss the innovative approaches SLCL took to keep libraries on the cutting edge rather than a relic from a different time. Kristen, the recipient of the Visionary Award by St. Louis Magazine, explained how the library earned a seat at the community's table and why she adapted libraries to meet social needs. The discussion also touched on:The innovative programs and partnerships that are having an enormous impact on the communityWhat role technology has played in revitalizing the libraryThe library's role in advancing digital equity initiativesHow they “stood standing” during a crisis and what that meant for the publicA unique role the library hired and the difference it's made for staff“Make sure that innovation means something to someone other than you. If you spend all your time innovating something that is going to have zero impact on people, then you have wasted a ton of time and money.” – Kristen SorthResources to Count OnWant more insight into the conversation?

A visit to Ted Drewes Frozen Custard is a quintessential St. Louis experience on par with visiting the St. Louis Zoo or Muny – or going to a Cardinals game. The custard shop – with one on Chippewa and one on South Grand – has been in business for nearly 100 years and running the business for much of it was Ted Drewes Jr. He died earlier this week at the age of 96. St. Louis Magazine food writer Cheryl Baehr and listeners share their memories.

Ep.205 Kahlil Robert Irving was born in San Diego, in 1992, but spent most of his youth in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where he received his BFA, and earned his MFA from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University in St. Louis. Irving's work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Mass MOCA, the New Museum, and the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. In February of 2024, Irving opened concurrent exhibitions at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (AnticKS & MOdels + My theater to your eyes) and Archeology of the Present at the Kemper Art Museum in Saint Louis and both will be on view until July. Like many artists today, Irving works in many media, including sculpture, painting, and collage. His collages are largely influenced by contemporary digital culture. He gathers different pieces of digital material ranging from photographs he takes, to items he sees online to assemble these works. While appearing chaotic at times, he uses this method to subtly describe a view of how to navigate being Black in the United States. Irving's range of ideas and materials shine through his practice—as he combines contemporary memes with evolved ceramic techniques, he shows how different ceramic materials can be fashioned into looking like objects from life. Throughout his practice, Irving focuses on Black joy while also shedding a light on violent white people and their ideologies.

We're back with our second episode of the month to talk about connecting with people so that you will have clients throughout 2024. We call it filling your pipeline. Many of us focus on getting business. If we can spend time connecting with people with purpose, there generally will be a more steady flow of clients throughout the year. Did you apply anything you've learned from the first episode already? We would love to hear what worked for you! Our email address is in the show notes. In this episode, we will look at the difference between online leads and live leads and a few marketing tips. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. [3:08] Excellent content on your site makes the difference. Janet gives some great recommendations. [4:37] Janet hangs on to hits because they picked her. Respond promptly when they contact you. Janet suggests you host virtual tours and webinars on your site. [7:08] Janet pays the website professionals for content, SEO, and marketing of her site. [10:25] Janet advertises in a neighborhood magazine to 55,000 homes a month. That's generated a few calls that she puts in her pipeline to send a monthly postcard. [16:47] When her leads start responding more conversationally to her texts or emails, Janet knows it's time to set up a phone call with them to slowly but surely reel them in. [18:46] Make sure you have testimonials on your website. Ask your clients for a testimonial right at the closing. [20:29] Janet is a worker bee. She volunteers and works hard. Active listening is one of Janet's superpowers. If you can do that, it makes all the difference. [22:13] Janet carries a wire-bound index card file in her purse to record notes about new contacts. For Janet, Top Producer is her “second brain.” Find your “second brain” that creates a flow. [31:30] Be a resource. It creates credibility, trust, and an emotional connection. People decide with their emotions. The educational approach is her focus, now. [33:50] I'm going to encourage our listeners to go back and listen to Part 1 of this conversation if they haven't already where Janet talks about her system of keeping up with leads and clients. [34:55] Some states allow incentives or inducements, some do not. Check your state law before offering one. [36:08] Some agents hold R.S.V.P.-only open houses as a security issue and let only one person come in at a time. Don't share your personal information online. [38:08] Janet's last word: “You need consistent, excellent service to your existing clients. That's what's going to keep you in the business. … Whatever you do, autograph it with excellence. [39:11] My favorite takeaway from Part 2 was the reminder that everything we do to improve our visibility will cost us time or money. What was your favorite tip from the 2nd episode? If you missed the first episode about great ways to connect with people in real-time, head back and hear Janet's tips to get started. [40:25] We're going to be having several months of episodes focusing on tools to help you communicate more clearly, set excellent expectations, and create great experiences.

For me is just ‘Call JJ.' Call Janet Judd.” — Janet Judd “I truly believe the old ways are coming back again. So print media could be coming back. So I started doing that.” — Janet Judd “It has to be ‘Janet-proof.' That means I can't break it, it's easy to learn, it's intuitive, I can get to it on my phone, and get that information that I need, right away … before I call them, and get all those notes.” — Janet Judd “If I can get them on a phone call, I can usually get them.” — Janet Judd Guest Links: Jane Judd on LinkedIn NARRPR.com REALTOR® Property Resource Slydial American Greetings digital cards Top Producer® NAR Library Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential, by Tiago Forte NAR Resource Links NAR.realtor/technologyABR® SRS Additional Links: Microcourses found at Learning.REALTOR.

How is your business growing and flowing right now? I hope you have a pipeline full of clients who are looking right now or planning to buy or sell in the next few months. We know, though, that hope is not a strategy. We need better tools than just hope to get our buyer pipelines filled. We know that a whole lot is happening in the real estate industry right now. We will be having several months of focusing on tools you can use to communicate more clearly, to set better expectations, and to create great experiences for you and your clients. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. As a reminder, this a two-part episode, with the second part coming later this month. [3:17] Janet is a solo agent in Missouri who has been selling real estate full-time for 38 years. She loves what she does and has a servant's heart for volunteering. [5:42] You are the product when you're meeting clients. They need to know that you're engaging. You need to be credible and communicate to them the value of doing business with you. [11:08] Janet discusses an app that let's you call someone's voicemail when you can't chat. [14:15] For Janet, a pipeline means knowing she will be able to have a buyer close on a property. [15:00] Janet takes the most motivated ones out to show properties. She leads them along the pipeline with frequent contacts and suggestions. [16:04] Janet has buyers in the pipeline for months. She keeps all her contacts in the loop so they don't run off with someone else. She gets them under a Buyer Agency Agreement as soon as she can. [21:05] When buyers know what they want, it's easier to define and find it. Then you have to hold their hand and make sure they stay patient while you do your job. [22:00] Janet discusses the CRM she uses. She also keeps a file folder for every contact in the pipeline with notes. She goes through all the folders each day, making contacts as appropriate. [27:10] Sometimes you lose an opportunity. Ask people who may be a year from buying how often they want you to contact them. Janet discusses how to motivate them. [29:34] Janet invites people to sign a Buyer Agency Agreement at the first meeting. She writes the agreement for a year. It's a two-way commitment. Don't disappear from view. [33:15] Janet's last word: “I really just want you to understand the fact that you're the product. Help them make that emotional decision to work with you and be excited about the opportunity to work with them and help a dream come true — the American Dream come true.” [34:02] We will be continuing with great education to help you work more clearly and more intentionally with buyers. Join us every two weeks for new episodes and review the past episodes if you need help with specific topics. Thanks for joining us! Go out there, improve your system, and sell some property! Tweetables: “I've been selling real estate full-time for 38 years. I don't have a team. I'm a solo agent and I still love what I do and definitely have a servant's heart for volunteering.” — Janet Judd “Being a buyer's agent, you've got to dance the way they want you to dance. It's on their schedule. When they call, you've got to pop up!” — Janet Judd “Help buyers to make that emotional decision to work with you; be excited about the opportunity to work with them and help a dream come true — the American Dream come true.” — Janet Judd Guest Links: Janet Judd on LinkedIn NARRPR.com REALTOR® Property Resource Slydial American Greetings digital cards Top Producer® NAR Library NAR Resource Links NAR.realtor/technologyABR® SRS Additional Links: Microcourses found at Learning.REALTOR.
