Main Street Mavericks is a conversation starter. Storefront upgrade programs and other forms of aid for local businesses end up with money left on the table. Sometimes, thriving, successful businesses don't need small cash injections or basic technical assistance, and struggling businesses do not feel entitled to funding, have other things on their mind, or simply do not have the installed capacity to commit to the responsibilities of such programs. We look at the main street business ecosystem the same way we look at many systems here in America: Standardization begets efficiency, and efficiency begets coverage of services. Programs, curricula, and other initiatives are thus standard through the nation. What I propose is diving into the composition of the main street business ecosystem, and targeting support in a spectrum that starts at the basic level for struggling businesses, and goes all the way to top level advise for successful ones. Tailored support is aimed at elevating the entire ecosystem, not just specific businesses. It includes mentoring programs to integrate top performing businesses with struggling ones. It requires a categorization, which I attempt at in the book, along initiatives that partner the district managers -BIDs, Main Streets- with the business community. Main Street Mavericks is a conversation starter. Let's chat about it, and make our downtowns and main streets shine.

Today I went for the last time to Saunders Hardware. It has been in business for 130 years and is closing. It's very sad to see how changing times make certain types of businesses unsustainable. Neighbors will miss Saunders and whatever replaces it in such a beautiful building will change the face of the area. I talk about types of businesses that become unsustainable because they compete against big box and online giants, with unlimited resources, and a financial muscle that allows them to break any competition. There is a type of business that big box and online giants cannot compete against, however. Hospitality businesses require personalized service, a tailored product that fits a specific market, a business model that relies on several small sources of revenue and seeks partnerships and fulfilling a purpose that resonates with customers, and a service design that ensures a flawless interaction between users and their space. These main street and downtown businesses are the Mavericks. They are the reason people come to downtown. They are the hosts, the entertainers, the treasure hunters and the ones that lead the charge to transform their place into an unforgettable destination. They are also the main focus of my new book, Main Street Mavericks. Get it here:

Hidden treasure in plain sight: There are 1.8m unused square miles in the US, roughly 50% of the country, and it’s the worlds greatest R&D facility. Can’t compete with ‘Big Hospitality’ for oceanfront property in Miami? The barrier to entry, land and dev costs are too high? There are thousands of highly frequented quaint towns littered through America where the land is virtually free. Resourceful and determined entrepreneurs are testing, iterating and growing super profitable concepts in these areas, like the Cliffs at Hocking Hills or Live Oak Lake. Soon they will expand their operations through family offices and private equity. Increasing in size and moving closer to prime locations. In a decade or two this batch of innovators will be rebranding ‘Big Hospitality’ in South Beach, San Diego, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Austin with their original concepts designed and executed on those 1.8m unused square miles. God Bless America 🇺🇸
