Constructing a Comeback: Rusty Keeley’s Vision for St. Louis

In this episode of Fast Forward STL, host Keith Alper sits down with Rusty Keeley, CEO of Keeley Companies and new chairman of the Regional Business Council. Keeley shares how he grew his father’s asphalt paving business into a diversified empire topping 5,000 employees, employing a “fail fast, fail forward” philosophy and people-first culture. The discussion tackles some of St. Louis’ biggest challenges head-on: the city’s cop shortage, misleading crime statistics, the impact of a city-county merger, and a compelling case for embracing data centers. Keeley challenges civic leaders to think like entrepreneurs: move faster and worry less about barriers. Watch on YouTube, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform.
