  • A key part of Seattle’s revitalization

    Huge fan of Jon and James and entire DSA team that produces this great content that profiles both Seattle’s comeback and what has always made it a great place to live, work and play. This is always a listen as I travel between our Seattle office and across the region and love seeing all of the locations and voices Jon does a stellar job of elevating. Check it out.

  • #39 got me…

    I am a new listener and have really enjoyed the podcast so far. Love getting connected to my city through influential folks. Dr. Sperring is leading SCH through a pivotal time and yes, as a parent of a kid cured of cancer, it hold a VERY special place in our hearts. We must lift up and support orgs like this in our city, in every city.

    Glad you started this podcast. Can’t wait to see who is on next… got plenty of ideas if needed 😉
