#94: Erick Brimen - Founding a City, Arrest Threats, and Solving Poverty | Alternative Communities

How can private cities use entrepreneurship to create social good? In this episode, we meet Erick Brimen, businessman, entrepreneur, and founder of the special economic zone, Próspera. At an early age, Erick came face-to-face with the social and financial disadvantages that most people face. And that experience would eventually lead to the visionary project of prosperity districts, where entrepreneurship is used to achieve common good. But Erick’s journey was not all glitz and glamour. From not having enough money to buy groceries, to nearly getting arrested over rumors, Erick knows what it's like to experience failure. But through it all, his passion to help others prosper has guided him on a path of success, trust, and purpose.
