On this episode of the STL Tech Talk, I am joined by the founder & CEO of XLR8.org, Rick Duree.
Have a listen as Rick goes on to talk about what it was that led him down the path of being an entrepreneur to start not only XLR8.org, but also the Duree Center for Entrepreneurs and more.
Rick not only shares some info on the above topics, but also has some great advice for current startups along with those looking to launch a startup in the near future. He also shares some great advice for those looking for something to do in the St. Louis area as well.
