Arizona lawmakers passed the Bitcoin bill - the will of the people and the momentum of innovation. Hobbs' veto wasn't about legal concerns, just her opinion that the state isn't ready. Bitcoin doesn't wait for permission. The future builds with or without her.

Help my son with his Apex Donation Campaign!

The "YIGBY" (Yes in God's Backyard) movement is upon us!

The St. Austin's Redevelopment Project is an exemplary win-win story - The church was able to solidify their existence in their prominent Central Austin / West Campus location and solidify a 99-year ground lease, new state of the art facilities, and a revenue stream for years to come. Additionally, through this redevelopment they were able to support affordable housing initiatives and bring 90)+ student housing units online in a location that was otherwise unused and directly across from UT.

I think we're going to continue to see opportunities in this space and there are many other churches exploring their ability to leverage underutilized land to advance their mission.

Excited to share the Brownsville CMD Adaptive Reuse Project via this video produced by @Syroessential!

I figured how the heck can I manage a studio and video production facility and not put it to use to market this thing!

I met Syrus while working on the project - he was a city employee working with the BTV team, and I took notice of his ambition and creativity, and I love to help entrepreneurs get started (I sure had a lot of help myself in the early days of getting Windsor off the ground - feels good to pay it back). So when Syrus approached me about his new venture, Syroessential, I felt compelled to work with him on showcasing this interesting city facility.

Let me know what you think!

Amazing news for Texas. Can't wait to see what the future holds and how this will impact the economic growth of the region.
