This episode's young leader explains how asking good questions is one of the most important steps in successful business.
On this episode, Louis Holzman welcomes Jack Reilly of City Center Group, one of the biggest development companies in the Lehigh Valley and one that's working to make Allentown a more welcoming environment while preserving the character and history of the city.
Jack talks about the difficult battle against the stereotype that Allentown is dangerous, which City Center Group seeks to fight through community facade grants, partnerships with tenants that are aiding community health, and sponsorships of local art programs and murals. He also dives into the financial risk that goes into every project and advice for other young leaders.
