Here we spend some time with Mat Swift...a Georgia native who was invited to come to Des Moines by the Greater Des Moines Partnership....why? Mat and many more individuals in Columbus, Georgia were responsible for taking a river that ran through their downtown and creating the nation’s largest man-made water feature in the nation. Plus the project has produced millions in economic development and created a place where people really want to live...and work. Meet Mat and what could be the future of downtown Des Moines.

We had the opportunity to broadcast from and record a number of interviews at the recent convention and education event of the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE). During that time we were surprised at how many people in cities and villages across the United States are working on issues like wage growth, affordable housing, skills training, employment opportunities and issues of equality. We asked the new President/CEO of ACCE, Sheree Anne Kelly about that and more in this conversation. And...if it sounds like we're "gushing" a bit...yep.
