In this episode of Business on the Run, host Mark Andersen sits down with former Pearland, Texas Mayor Kevin Cole to discuss leadership, entrepreneurship, real estate development, public service, faith, and the lessons learned from building nearly 10,000 residential lots across the Houston area.
Kevin shares how he survived the devastating 2008 housing crash while many developers went bankrupt, explains the surprising Bill Gates connection behind one of the Houston area's largest master-planned communities, and reveals why listening may be the most underrated leadership skill.
