St. Louis RISE Lunch: Your deepest, darkest and random-est business & marketing questions answered by the experts.

The #1 Non-Boring, Fluff-Free, Forward-Thinking Business Lunch In St. Louis

RISE lunch is BACK on June 10th featuring entrepreneurs, business owners, forward-thinkers and oh so much more coming together for mingling, a delicious lunch and interactive presentations.

For the June event, we are heading a few blocks away in Clayton to Brad Beracha of Beracha Concepts other amazing restaurant Miso Lounge (taking place in their newly expanded street level) and are limiting tickets to JUST 45. All RISE lunches have 100% sold out in a hurry (I’ve gotten emails/calls/pigeon messages each time from folks who missed out) due to a big interest & limited tickets (intimacy never goes out of style). So, don’t delay and avoid the risk of getting shut out.

This month, things are getting even more interactive. We have formed a panel of some amazing entrepreneurs that have built successful businesses to help you and field your biggest (and smallest) questions. The guarantee is that it will be fun, informative and you will get to the pick the brains of the some pretty cool cats (another reason why we are limiting to just 45 people).

RISElists (sounds better than panelists) includes:
