How to Fix Traffic and Flooding in Miami? | Mayor Francis Suarez

In this episode, we had the honor of meeting our Mayor of the City of Miami - Francis X. Suarez. After being elected as the Mayor in 2017 and reelected in 2021, Francis played a crucial role in Miami's explosive growth. He became an international ambassador for our city, promoting it and attracting businesses and people from around the world to come to Miami and he was more than successful in his efforts. Francis Suarez told us his plan for ending homelessness in Miami, the turning point that made Miami blow up, issues of rising costs of living, traffic, flooding, and affordable housing, preparation for FIFA World Cup 2026, and lessons from his Presidential run!
