Driving down the east coast to South Florida provides its own unique set of observations, experiences and challenges. During a recent family road trip, I found myself looking at the standard geographic differences and weather changes as well as enjoying some southern hospitality. But it also occurred to me how much we can learn from these local businesses.

I’m often asked the question, “What makes a great community?” My reply back is usually, “What makes a great community for you?”. No, this isn’t my subtle way of dodging the question, but my subtle way of forcing the person asking into a bit of truthful introspection about who they are and what environments they flourish in.
