About this episode
How do you find an outlet for your passion for your place, especially when you don’t feel you have the money necessary to get started? Is it possible to still see yourself as a developer?
Jason, Shomari and I have a LOT to discuss in this episode. In my longest interview to-date, we talk about a wide range of topics from getting started in development, to being the change in your own community, and what all is going on in Kansas City and the Vine District in particular. Jason and Shomari are two go-getters in KC, who both came to development from very different backgrounds and have learned a ton as they go. We talk about their entrepreneurial spirit, dealing with success and failure, and how rewarding and creative it can be to take on development projects yourself.
