24: From Lessons in Entrepreneurship to Crafting Pensacola’s Bright Future: A Conversation with Mayor D.C. Reeves

Send us Fan MailMuch of entrepreneurship, leadership, and life is learning, listening, and gaining experiences that guide your path. This week’s guest is a perfect example of someone who’s done just that. We were lucky enough to get an exclusive hour with our (very busy) hometown Mayor, @dcreevesmayor. Our discussion ranged from his beginnings as a sports writer and his professional mentorship through @qdstuder to the lessons learned opening a brewery and his eventual appointment to City of Pensacola’s 64th Mayor. The Mayor attributes Pensacola’s recent and exciting growth to its invigorating entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to philanthropy mixed with a really good problem to have: people just want to come to Pensacola. As Pensacola’s youngest Mayor in over 100 years, Reeves is driven daily by the excitement of helping local businesses thrive, working to make Pensacola a better place to live for everyone who calls it home and sharing what’s so special about it with the rest of the world. This is a very special episode that you won’t want to miss! We’re so excited about the growth and future of Pensacola and can’t thank the Mayor enough for taking the time to join us on Practical Rebels.
