Be someone that...

your local council can depend on, can be there.

Go to meetings and hear the issues because a lot of times, again, with media, and this is before social media was a thing, just from all the time of me growing up, you don't know everything that's happening, but you hear me growing up when the newspaper says something or when the 10 o'clock news says something, right?

And it's not the truth, but you can hear what's going on by being involved.

Why and how important is it?

for business leaders, entrepreneurs to be involved with the city government, to attend some of these meetings so they can hear the actual issues versus perceived issues.

Absolutely.

Mayor Bass, how do you stay grounded as a leader?

How do you stay connected to your values and who you are on a daily basis?

Yeah.

I love it.

Mayor Bass, one of the other things that I admire probably most about you is as a leader, you face resistance, you face challenges, you face systemic issues, but you always turn obstacles into opportunities.

And I would love for you to give the viewers and listeners a little bit of your

I don't want to say your system, your process, but how do you continue to overcome as much as you do and how you have?

Amen to that.

Amen to that.

Mayor Bass, I know you have a very busy schedule, and I'm just honored you took some time out of your day today to spend with me.

I want to leave it with you.

Is there anything that you want the viewers and listeners to know?

Anything at all that's on your heart that you want to share?
