#096: Nashville Housing Update | The Eric Deems Show

A home is where a job sleeps! Housing has gotten prohibitively expensive in #Nashville. Whether you use "affordable" or "attainable" in your solution talking points, it all points to the economics of Supply and Demand. Real solutions will be found by avoiding political rhetoric (housing is nonpartisan, after all) and by encouraging density throughout the corridors of our MSA. By density, perhaps "proximity" would be a better word; we all want to live, work, and play in communities that are strengthened by good growth and development, not harmed. I'm convinced that people aren't afraid of change but loss. It's time to unite for stewardship within our communities, especially in Nashville where the growth doesn't have any plans of stopping! (And we are very grateful for that!) Tune in, won't you?

#095: Identity | The Eric Deems Show

In a time when politics have seemingly infiltrated (read: poisoned) everything in our lives, the optimist in me hopes we can still rise above it. After all, today's political climate is embarrassing at best and evil at worst; it leaves so much more to be desired. Choosing to craft one's identity beyond a political party (or job, family name, religious group, school, etc.) can be a reflection of growth and maturity. The ultimate growth mindset is realizing you may be wrong and the other guy may be right. Otherwise, the blinders of limitation cause disrespect in both our fellow man and ourselves. Take time to redefine your why; your future self will thank you. Tune in, won’t you? I'd love to hear from you. Have a perspective, challenge, or idea?
