Summary

Episode Description

The discussion focuses on the role of economic development agencies, such as RDAs and CDAs, in the development process. RDAs, with state-granted powers, create CRAs to enable tax increment financing, aiming to boost job creation, sales tax, and city beautification. Developers should collaborate with these agencies, securing political and taxing entity support for success. The Salt Lake City RDA is noted for its significant resources, including a loan fund for affordable housing and downtown revitalization. The conversation also highlights the importance of relationships with site selectors, brokers, and developers, as well as using incentives like tax increment financing to attract businesses. Beautification, walkability, and high-quality buildings are emphasized as key factors in development projects.

I grew up in Sacramento and then moved to the East Coast to go to boarding school in New Jersey at Lawrenceville School. Had great fun afterwards at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. And then spent a few years traveling the world with a small group of friends. Finally, we moved to Hollywood together into a mansion in the Hollywood Hills we named Project Hollywood Mansion. We transformed the former Dean Martin/Rat Pack Mansion into my office, where I build a global publishing and dating coaching company while simultaneously completing a Masters in Business Administration at the University of Southern California. We now run bootcamps worldwide in over 75 countries and 250 cities, and ship home study courses to every country in the world. I've moved out of the mansion, yet I still jetset around the world, and love living the amazing Las Vegas lifestyle (my favorite place I've ever lived).
