Show Notes

Ryan Short co-founded CivicBrand with his wife Banner during shaky economic times and a pivotal family moment in 2008. He talks with Adam about making such bold and unconventional decisions.

They also talk about CivicBrand's pioneering work in city branding and placemaking, and the "locals first" approach that is about helping communities to become the best version of themselves. Among other things, like the values of travel, parenting teenage sons, fishing and getting people to fall in love with the outdoors.
