  • Faith, Focus, and 1AM Call Times: The Life of Rene Knott
    Jul 7 2025
    What does it take to thrive in a career that starts at 1AM and never really ends? On this episode of The Circuit of Success, Brett Gilliland is joined by the indefatigable Rene Knott, a longtime TV anchor who’s spent decades showing up early, staying late, and pouring energy into every story he tells. From growing up in California under the steady influence of his hardworking father to transitioning from sports anchoring to hard news, Rene reflects on his 38-year broadcasting career, his relentless discipline, and the early wakeups that fuel his morning show. With humility and humor, Rene reveals how faith and discipline keep him grounded, even when covering heavy stories or confronting self-doubt. He reminds us that showing up with intention—whether on the news desk, at home, or in service to others—is where real success is born. From powerlifting to prayer, this episode is filled with wisdom for anyone trying to build a life of impact and meaning. Rene Knott is a beloved local television personality and 3-time Emmy winner who currently co-anchors “Today in St. Louis” with Michelle Li on KSDK Channel 5. Named “Best TV Anchor” by STL Bucket List, Rene is passionate about telling human-centered stories that inspire and uplift others. Born in Hollywood, California, on May 2, 1964, to Ralph and Judy Knott, he played football and earned his degree from Southern Oregon State College, where he met his wife of 37 years, Marla. Rene began his TV career at KDRV-TV in Medford, Oregon, after initially dreaming of writing for the Los Angeles Times, but internships steered him toward the power of visual storytelling. He went on to work in Mobile, Alabama, and Washington D.C., before landing in St. Louis, which he now calls home. Starting at “5 On Your Side” in 2004 as sports director, Rene transitioned to the morning show in 2016—a role he proudly calls his favorite. He and Marla have two children: Easton, 33, a Washington University graduate and counselor at Georgetown Prep, and Eryn, 28, a MIZZOU graduate and kindergarten teacher in Colorado. 📩 Connect with Rene Knott Watch the Full Episode Here!

  • Dawn Harper-Nelson: From Olympic Glory to Everyday Greatness – Live at Beyond
    Jun 30 2025
    Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson joins The Circuit of Success for a dynamic live conversation that goes far beyond the track. Recorded Live at Beyond, Dawn brings laughter, insight, and raw honesty as she shares her path from East St. Louis to Olympic podiums—and how family, faith, and fierce determination have shaped every chapter of her story. This isn’t just about medals; it’s about the mindset and the mission that fuels a life of purpose. Dawn pulls back the curtain on what it takes to train for a race that lasts just 12 seconds, how mental discipline became her secret weapon, and what it was like working under the intense guidance of legendary coach Bobby Kersee. She opens up about motherhood, community, and why coming home will always matter more than global fame. From UCLA to NBC’s Olympic broadcast booth, she continues to evolve and inspire. Dawn Harper-Nelson is one of the most accomplished hurdlers in the world, with Olympic gold (2008), Olympic silver (2012), and World Championship silver (2017) to her name. She’s a 2022 UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, and the state of Illinois honored her with “Dawn Harper Day” following her gold medal win. Beyond sports, she’s a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association, community ambassador for United Way, and supporter of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation. Now preparing for her PhD in psychology and learning French Dawn proves that champions never stop growing. 📩 Connect with Dawn Harper-Nelson Watch the Full Episode Here!
