Interview with Adam Collins Part 2 (Episode 122 - The Marketing Gateway Podcast)

And here we go with part 2 of our interview with Adam! About Adam: Adam Collins earned his MBA from the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) in December 2019 and continues to fuel his passion for lifelong learning. He recently began a Graduate Certificate program in Social Media and Digital Marketing at UMSL, further expanding his expertise. Professionally, Adam serves as a Project Manager in UMSL’s Planning, Design, & Construction division, a role that perfectly aligns with his 20+ years of experience in the construction industry. He takes pride in contributing to his alma mater, overseeing campus improvements ranging from renovations to equipment upgrades. His work connects him with a diverse range of colleagues, enhancing the university’s infrastructure in meaningful ways. Beyond his job, he remains actively involved in the UMSL Alumni Association and the student-led Board Game Club. Adam is also an entrepreneur and board game enthusiast. He has launched a podcast, a YouTube channel, and an independent publishing company—all centered around board gaming. Passionate about bringing people into the hobby, he collaborates with local libraries and community colleges to introduce modern board games to new audiences. He has even helped organize game days for children at the library. His podcast, Eat Lunch & Board Game, explores games that fit into a typical lunch break, whether 30 or 60 minutes. Inspired by his own experiences starting a lunchtime gaming group at work, Adam has interviewed a wide range of guests from the board game industry, gathering their insights and recommendations. His son occasionally joins in for special review episodes, and together, they’ve also launched a YouTube channel, Reviews from the Attic, where they share their thoughts on board games. When he’s not gaming or working, Adam enjoys reading (often about board gaming), biking with his kids, “running” with his son, and hiking with his family Adam's plugs:https://beardedboardgames.com/ [https://beardedboardgames.com/] (A list of STL farmers markets: https://www.stlmag.com/dining/st-louis-farmers-markets-guide/ [https://www.stlmag.com/dining/st-louis-farmers-markets-guide/]) Contact Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-f-collins/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-f-collins/] https://www.youtube.com/@eatlunchboardgamepodcast146 [https://www.youtube.com/@eatlunchboardgamepodcast146] ---------------------------------------- The Marketing Gateway is a weekly podcast hosted by Sean in St. Louis (Sean J.
