What makes a successful community? While there are many definitions and metrics, I’d argue a successful community is one that is both fiscally resilient and has a strong identity of who they are and who they are not – all while providing real opportunity (and not just the veneer of opportunity as today’s guest points out). In today’s episode, we’re joined by Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns to discuss just that.
