Charrettes and the Edge of the Frontier with Steve Beshara

Steve Beshara is a developer, entrepreneur, and designer. He is the founder of Vista Growth, which does place-branding, community design, and strategic planning.  Beshara loves to be innovative, on the edge of the frontier, and he believes that community-planning magic can come from charettes, meetings where a diverse group of people come together to brain storm freely.

Steve and show host Neal discuss Steve's upbringing, how he learned how to see all sides of an issue from his parents and how he learned to love nature as a child. They also discuss his insights into creating ripe environments for group creativity as well his role in establishing the first net-zero energy home in Serenbe.  For more information about Beshara's work, visit www.vistagrowth.com.
