Host Dave Fiore speaks with Carrie Zimmerman, co-founder and former CEO of The Zimmerman Agency. Carrie is a native Tallahassean whose family has been in the Capital City for more than 100 years. She grew up in a competitive, sports-oriented environment, but it was rolling on the mats of the Tallahassee Tumbling Tots that sparked a passion that would lead to exploring gymnastics, training full-time in Oregon at age 15 and earning a coveted spot on the 1976 U.S. Olympic team – a memory that still elicits great emotion. After graduating from the University of Georgia, Carrie worked with her husband, Curtis, at an ad agency in Atlanta, before moving to Tallahassee to be near her family. Starting with no clients but a considerable Rolodex, the couple started The Zimmerman Agency, which today has more than 130 employees and competes with New York agencies (and often wins) for the right to represent some of the most prestigious brands in the world. Recently retired, Carrie now focuses on travel, FSU sports and enjoying being a grandmother.

From vivid street tales to deep personal narratives, hip-hop used to cover a wide range of themes. But today, it seems like mainstream rap revolves around just three or four topics. Are we witnessing the decline of creativity, or is the culture simply shifting? Tap in as we break it all down!

Nick welcomes Michael Ault, the long-serving Executive Director of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, to the podcast. With an impressive 25+ year tenure leading the charge for California's capital city core, Michael offers a unique perspective on urban development, leadership longevity, and navigating complex challenges. Their conversation explores how downtown Sacramento is successfully bucking national trends, the critical role of collaboration and "social collisions," and the evolution of a Business Improvement District from its inception to a major force for revitalization. Michael shares his journey from taking a temporary role to becoming a pivotal figure in shaping downtown Sacramento's identity and future. He discusses the importance of aspirational leadership, especially during difficult times like the COVID-19 pandemic, and strategies for building and empowering a high-performing team. Filled with candid reflections on personal growth, the significance of mentorship, and the continuous effort to balance demanding work with family life, this episode provides a masterclass in sustained leadership, resilience, and creating a lasting legacy for a community. Episode Highlights: Sacramento's Success: How downtown Sacramento is bucking national trends with business growth. Michael Ault's Journey: From a one-year commitment to 25+ years leading the Downtown Partnership. The Power of Presence: Understanding "social collisions" and the value of in-person collaboration. Business Improvement Districts: The model, its evolution, and the impact of the Downtown Partnership. Leading Through Crisis: Maintaining positivity and an aspirational vision during challenging times. Team Dynamics: Strategies for attracting, retaining, empowering talent, and fostering a collaborative environment. Avoiding the Bottleneck: Transitioning leadership focus from individual execution to team enablement. The Role of Mentorship: Key figures and lessons learned, emphasizing honesty and integrity. Vulnerability in Leadership: The importance of asking for help and admitting you don't have all the answers. Key Takeaways: "We've got to be aspirational. I've got to be able to say this is going to be hard... What we're doing here makes a difference." "Regions are defined by their downtowns and the identity... what downtown Sacramento's perception is is important to the identity of this region. And we want to be proud of it." "Social collisions [are] conversations that wouldn't have happened randomly if you were not in the office together, talking, collaborating, mentoring..." "Selfishly, I would tell you I don't know where the downtown core would be without the work that we've done down here over the last 15 to 20 years." "This is really legacy work. What we're trying to do... is to create an urban center that this region can be proud of." "My job should be here to coach you up, to give you the skills you want, give you that confidence and move on to the next job in your career. I'm proud of you." "I really have a tendency to take things far too personally... I have got to switch from taking it so personally to figuring out what things we could be doing differently..." "Don't give up just because it's hard... you might end up being more proud of this than anything professionally you've ever done." "Downtown is going to be different and being different is great... we may have been over reliant on downtown's only big driver is the office market."

For so many experts and politicians, the answer to Australia's housing crisis is simple. Rejig zoning rules, build more homes and get Australians into increasingly dense developments. But is the supply ‘solution' the cure-all it's made out to be? In this final episode of our series, ABC business editor Michael Janda looks at what really needs to be done on supply and demand to make it just a little bit easier for people to buy a home. We'll also take you to Melbourne, where apartment prices have flatlined over the past five years and first home buyers are flooding into the market. We'll explain what it will take to finally free Australia's housing hostages. 

Has a housing bubble ever burst without devastating pain across the economy and society? New Zealand is in a recession and home values are more than 17 per cent lower than the post-COVID peak. In Ireland, a massive house price surge and crash in the 2000s saw house prices in Dublin more than half. So, does Australia need a crash and what would that mean for all of us? Some economists think recessions are needed occasionally to reset the economy. In this episode ABC business editor Michael Janda explains how a shock wave would ripple through the economy if the housing bubble bursts. Is the medicine worth the pain? 

How did Australia go from a place where most middle-class people could own their own house, to one where even a small apartment is out of reach for so many? You can pick your villain. Is it immigrants, investors, Howard and Costello, the big banks, or something else? In this episode, ABC business editor Michael Janda identifies the key moments and policies that cemented property as a lucrative investment, creating a mismatch in supply and demand and sending house prices to extraordinarily high levels. 

Imagine it's 2050 and the housing bubble in Australia never burst. Where do we live, how do we pay for it and what is day to day life like?Exorbitant home prices not only keep Australians in the crowded and expensive rental market, but they also change life plans and society. In this episode, ABC business editor Michael Janda explains why housing crisis is the country's biggest issue. It locks people into debt, delays retirement, creates stress and insecurity, contributes to falling birth rates and exacerbates inequalities between the generations. We're hostage to housing.
