Empty spaces in the city don’t look like much… until someone sees what they could become.

In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Gabe Keeven, founder of Side Lot Farms, and we get into what it really takes to build something from nothing… and then trust it to grow beyond you.

Gabe turned overlooked spaces in St. Louis into thriving urban farms and businesses rooted in purpose and creativity.

But what we really talk about is leadership.

How to let go. How to trust your team. How to lead something bigger than yourself.

Because at some point, every founder has to release control in order to grow.

And somehow, a coffee enthusiast and a horticulturist realize they have more in common than you’d expect.

This one feels like a conversation about business… but it’s really about growth.
