American Building is a weekly recorded show whose mission is to share a fresh, alternative perspective of what we build in America and why, in an engaging interview format in both podcast and video. In each episode, I highlight an important and urgent political, economic or social issue related to the built environment, which I describe in a deeply-researched and easy-to-understand way. I meet a compelling industry leader each week, and through their experiences, we tie the issue to a transformative real estate project they are working on. Each of these projects serves as a compelling example of how we can build more effectively with the limited money and time we have. This is a podcast for developers and builders with boots on the ground, for the policy makers and the public workers, and for any person who has walked by a building and wondered “why?”. Together, we discover how the work of the real estate industry connects to every American in a personal way, like no other show.
