Listen "25. Say Yes Until You Can't"
Episode Synopsis
City Manager Kelli Bourgeois on the way Bristol TN has chosen to embrace the hard things, what she calls "The Hard Right", rather than choosing the safe and easy bureaucratic approach. She gives a compelling argument for why, demographically, cities must choose to grow or die and how Bristol is using creativity and its uniquely positive culture to punch above its weight. An experienced city manager, Kelli is honest about the challenges facing local government, benefits of public/private partnerships, leadership, Bristol's competitive advantages, and exciting new projects to further develop downtown.
