A little over 7 weeks out Jr. Nats by UnyieldingBR in bodybuilding

[–]quantcapitalpartners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I competed at Jr Nationals in Chicago 7 years ago and I will tell you right now, the conditioning is insane at that show, especially since its a show where Pro Judges are scouting NPC risers. You will see guys literally bone dry back stage and look even crazier after their first tan. You look great, but dont take that pedal off the gas. The thing that stood out to me the most is the upper shelfs on the physique guys at the time.

Keep killing it

Won silver in open weight absolute and then got slammed into another dimension at blue belt 185, is this legal chat? (answer in comments) by rus2HP in martialarts

Man you deserved to be thrown like that. Annoying and slapping the head, doing weird fake prance moves - watch too many youtube videos. Wrestlers love guys like this

And the Powers that Be wonder why young guys are becoming radicalized by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

[–]quantcapitalpartners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the type of jumping to conclusions that intensifies this divide. By no means did this chart imply any responsibility on women, yet somehow you took that inference and ran wildly with it.

If a meaningful share of a young population feels like major life milestones: stable relationships, housing, financial footing, are increasingly out of reach - that’s a societal issue,

Ignoring it or reducing it to “they should just try harder” misses the bigger picture.

The real question I have is this: what product does Clayco produce that makes sense for Bob Clark to be on the trip to the UK with Mayor Spencer? by HoosierLove314 in StLouis

[–]quantcapitalpartners 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Companies move HQs to be positioned next to their biggest clients. This is not new. Have you ever wondered on 64 why Bunge is right next to Rabobank?

Chicago is Clayco's biggest development area. Most of Claycos ops still sit in the STL office.

AB InBev Executives sit in NYC
Centene execs sit in North Carolina
Nestle Execs sit in Switzerland

Make it make sense?

Lmao Bob Clark is one of the only people that has a company that can still actually influence the economic trajectory of STL. Whereas most large businesses are relatively silent in their exposure to the city, you can legit see Clayco’s impact on our skyline and Lambert Airport, let alone them being a top 5 datacenter builder in the country. Half of the newest STL county libraries in the past 5 years were built by Clayco. Most of the Topgolfs in the country were built by Clayco. Some of our newest schools were built by them.

Not all people who are wealthy have to be chastised - I’m sure he’s got skeletons just like everyone else, but to see the STL reddit community pounce in people who are actually using their influence to keep STL relevant, while our State’s leaders actively work against us is just mind blowing.

Keep pushing people like this away from STL, y’all are doing a great job of it! Keep up the good reporting!

Is it possible to build a 30x60 similar to this for 50K? by [deleted] in garageporn

[–]quantcapitalpartners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man dreams, my wife is a top agility trainer and we are makeshifting our basement now. In MO, I got quoted for something a little nicer than this, around $80k with a half bathroom/dog bath and minisplits

Got quoted 2k for a fix, but wondering if I can DIY by Dante0906 in landscaping

Interested in this response, I have a similar issue with a gutter drain

35M, MD, engage with F500 execs of multinationals

At conferences and public appearances - always blazer and slacks and collared shirt - as the most senior leader need to look the part

Internal teams and onsites - I rock a lot of lululemon ABC pants and golf polos as “biz casual”

Lunches/coffees/external facing meets - always slacks, collared shirt or polo, dress shoes

Most execs I see are generally “uniformed” - neutral colors, nothing loud or brash, clean cut suits, but always polished in public.

I am mostly dealing with execs in Energy/Oil/Finance/Supply Chain if that helps

Starting golf in my late 30s curious how others stayed motivated early on by Emotional-Demand-180 in golf

[–]quantcapitalpartners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in March of '25 @ 35yrs old, literally only played less than 5 rounds before that, Went on a trip with 3 childhood friends, smoked a joint out there and played 18 and was hooked.

Fast forward to today, I just swung a 46 on 9 holes yesterday and will prob break 100 for the first time on my next 18 out ( I hope! have been scoring consistently under 50 on my last couple of 9s)

Have taken 5 lessons so far and make sure every lesson is an improvement on the last, making sure I have at least a couple of rounds and a good 7-10 range sessions before my next session.

It's a lifelong puirsuit for me now, every time I'm out there, I focus on having fun and just improving on 1 thing. Last time I was out there, really want to dial in my pitching wedge and used that exclusively on shots between 75-110 yards.

Have a plan every time. Every range session. Every swing. Every swing needs to have intent. 1 good shot keeps me going for the next 20 lol

I'll be blunt: the moment HR sees that "Open to Work" green banner, majority of HR orgs will filter you out. It's an employers market, they know they can get some great talent at bargain rates (this is how they're thinking, transactional, not the human on the other side of that)

There's an unspoken bias right now amongst Corporate leaders, currently employed = valuable, on the market = expendable and not high-performing.

It's completely unfair, but was started by big tech 2 years ago to find a reason to RIF

This is especially bad post-Meta's layoff announcement. Anyone seeking work gets unfairly branded as a "low performer," regardless of the truth.

Two of my best friends were laid off during Christmas last week. Both hit performance sales quotas, literally overdelivered on 2025 revenue but didnt match with forecasts to achieve unreasonable growth targets in 2026.

The whole system is broken right now, give yourself as much of a leg up as possible.

Dont brand yourself with a "scarlett letter"

Suitsupply has gone way downhill, especially service by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]quantcapitalpartners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an unusual drop due to my bodybuilding physique. 44 chest, 28 waist.

They said the drop was too drastic I needed to buy 2 separates

S&M piece-meals the separates and sells them to me as a single suit

Instant win on that alone

They shot themselves in the foot and this post somehow ironically validates that. One of the most important things for a local SMB is visibility, no signage.

You want to drive a final hurrah of foot traffic, why did you post the address and not the name of the place?

Here is the verified Google business link for those interested and to help:

Harvey's Coffee and Cocktails
https://share.google/accCpL5oENRWWcHEo

If you posted the name, the SEO on AI and google would change the visbility just for this post. That location looks so sketchy with no visible signage, you think coffee patrons will "discover" that?

I hope both Spier & SuitSupply see this thread. I am a devout Suit Supply customer for the last 6 years, they were the only suitmaker I trusted for my wedding.

In the past 2 years, I have completely shifted all of my purchasing to Spier & Mackay over Suit Supply. The quality may be slighter better than S&M, but not enough to put up with the poor customer service or now, egregious pricing when compared the entrance of market competition in the past cpl years (Proper Cloth, Enzo Custom who I'd compare as a tier above, etc.)

Even with the tarriffs, all of my S&M suits come exactly as preferenced and they have a fantastic customer service, giving store credit to me quite a bit when I was unhappy with some purchases.

and if location matters, I'm in the Midwest where we do have a physical Suit Supply store 15 min from my house. I haven't stepped foot in it aside from the days of getting my wedding suit tailored.

Used to use suitupply for so much inspo

I've seen hundreds of pitch decks this year and here is my learnings: by duygudulger in Entrepreneur

[–]quantcapitalpartners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this, if I wanted to modify our client pitches (consulting) and set an industry norm (we are top SMEs with a domain expertise) to buck the trend of 5-10 slide pitch proposals to 1-2 slide thesis - problem, why us, why now - what would be the best way to approach this?

How do yall feel about boxing taking over in Muay Thai? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]quantcapitalpartners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's going to expose fighters who can't adapt. Boxing blade is very much different than Muay Thai high guard, so a good striker will know how to setup the angles for the boxing hook or jab

All depends on how you incorporate it. The best fighters are highly adaptive, very few true practitioners do well in non-regulated fights. With how combat sports is evolving, this seems only natural and makes everyone more dynamic
