Description

Scottsdale Arizona is at a tipping point, we are building the city of our future, right now. Today! And this is the time to ask the questions, that will get us to where we want to go. I'm your host, Don Henninger, former publisher of the Phoenix Business Journal, and executive director of SCOTT, the civic leadership group. I've spent three decades with my finger on the pulse of all the growth and change that has occurred in Scottsdale, and I'm excited to find out what's next! What kind of city do we want? How do we evolve to stay successful? How can we balance and respect the city's rich western heritage, while also adapting to the modern world? Each week the "Today and Tomorrow in Scottsdale" podcast, will introduce you to the people, places and things, that will determine what kind of city we build, together. We'll go behind the scenes of every business and industry to look for answers, ideas, opinions, and more! We'll speak with community leaders, newsmakers, historians, futurists, friends and neighbors. People like you and me, who wanna create a legacy for future generations to enjoy. We'll dig into the realities of what it will take, to write the next chapters of Scottsdale's remarkable story. Pull up a chair, listen and enjoy the podcast...Today and Tomorrow in Scottsdale.
