"We can build the city we want" ft. Cindy Dach, CEO – Changing Hands Bookstore

What this episode covers

What does it look like to be invested in your city? When you’re coming into a city, especially a downtown one, what’s your first thought? Imagine you decide to move to a new city, with all the excitement, anticipation and anxiety that comes along with a big move like that. You find a place near downtown, get settled in, decide to start frequenting the restaurants and local spots to catch a vibe for the culture, only to realize…there isn’t one? What would you do? You’ve lived in another place for so much of your life, where there’s so much culture, activity, and energy, and now find yourself in a new place that’s nothing like where you came from and feels more like “a city with a lot of missing teeth.” A lot of people would leave. But others wouldn’t, and today, we get to speak to one of those people who didn’t. Cindy Dach is the CEO and Co-owner of Changing Hands bookstore, on the corner of 3rd avenue and Camelback (if you’re local and you haven’t been there yet—you late. Go check it out). She’s a significant leader in the community, having done everything from operating her own businesses, sitting on boards and advocating for artists, businesses and meaningful community development. Today we hear her perspective about what it means to serve the city and how the church plays an effective role in helping people like her do just that. Enjoy.
