Original NFNP member Mark Greaves is back with the Posse.
Bright and Duds welcome Mark Greaves, a childhood friend, Ohio State volleyball alum, mortgage expert, business owner, podcaster and founder of Tithe Lending, for Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
The guys start with old NFNP energy, Rush concert talk, growing up in St. Louis, moving away to Ohio and never really coming back. From there, the conversation turns into Bitcoin, crony capitalism, inflation, big tech, faith, business burnout, mission-driven work and why Mark walked away from the giant mortgage machine to build something smaller, more intentional and rooted in giving.
Mark explains the story behind Tithe Lending, how the business gives back through Christian ministries and charities, and why more people seem to be searching for something sturdier in a chaotic world.
Then, after Mark jumps off, Bright and Duds hit the big St. Louis story of the week: Panera, or Bread Co if you were raised correctly, moving its headquarters out of St. Louis. The guys talk local pride, corporate decisions, cost of living, Boston vs. St. Louis, AI, quiet layoffs, and why another St. Louis company leaving town feels personal.
Plus, a quick City SC Posse tease before a huge match against Real Salt Lake.
Part 2 with Mark drops next week, featuring the full housing and mortgage conversation, home prices, interest rates, first-time buyers, HELOCs, property taxes, money being created out of thin air, and old NFNP stories involving broken braces, broken fingers, poker nights, stolen gas caps and teenage stupidity that probably should have stayed buried.
