City Building

Chad Draper has spent decades building something most developers never think about — a city worth staying in. In this episode of Renewing the City, host Paul Taylor Smith sits down with Chad, founder of the Eulalia Group, to talk about what it really means to be a city builder. From transforming a 1921 Ford dealership into downtown Monroe's hottest brewery to actively filling gaps his community is missing (like a downtown doctor's office), Chad's philosophy is refreshingly simple: be a good neighbor at scale. If you care about your city, your community, or just want to be inspired by someone quietly doing the work — this one's for you. In this episode: * The story behind the Eulalia Group * Why the oldest cities are still the most beautiful * How to be a "good neighbor" as a developer * Practical ways anyone can help build a better city * Must-visit spots in downtown Monroe, GA

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
