It was a pleasure recently to be part of New Memphis’ fine podcast series, Meanwhile in Memphis.  The title for the conversation is “Posture of Positivity: Memphis’ Economic Advantages.” 

It was made even more special by sharing the podcast conversation with friend and University of Memphis Professor Emeritus of Economics David Ciscel. 

It was a wide-ranging discussion stimulated by questions from New Memphis’ Anna Thompson and Rebecca Hamm. 

I enjoyed the opportunity discuss how schools are in the talent business, the importance of parks and public spaces in attracting and retaining young professionals, the competitive advantage derived from our bulge in children, and much more.
