Revitalizing the Bluff City: The Power of Urban Collaboration. My guest this week is Mr. Rory Thomas, President and CEO of the Memphis Medical District Collaborative. “True power isn’t held, it’s shared.” ~ Unknown Many times it can be easy to recognize a need for a community, but it is not so easy to know how to address that need or even where to start. However, there is a well-known quote that reads, “the journey of a thousands miles begins with the first step”. My guest this week shares how he saw a need for the city of Memphis and decided to take action. The medical district of Memphis had several areas that needed improvement such as, safety, grooming and opportunity for growth. When a city has something to offer its citizens then that city will become more desirable to recruit talent and maybe even more importantly, keep talent. Mr. Thomas describes how networking and sharing his vision with others has lead him to some incredible people and accomplished some incredible things over the last 10 years. We discuss what it means to have an anchor strategy, how collaborating with other organizations can become a super power and how he has found the inspiration and motivation to continue for now over a decade. If you are an entrepreneur or simply you have a heart to serve, then this episode will give you some fire to maybe be the next person to step up and pursue your passion and change a community. Life happens fast so I encourage you to take action today!
