Resilience and Evolution of Urban Centers

Richard Florida joins Scott to discuss COVID-19’s impact on cities and suburbs. Richard explains why he thinks the idea that this is the end of cities is overblown and how the pandemic poses an opportunity to push for racial and economic equity. Richard is an American urban studies theorist and University Professor at University of Toronto’s School of Cities and Rotman School of Management. 

Scott also breaks down Lemonade’s IPO, what the company’s challenges are now moving forward, and how you should think about investing. If there’s one thing he wants you to remember, it’s that market dynamics always trump personal performance. 

This week’s Office Hours: Innovation Roadblocks, Equity Crowdfunding, and Omnichannel Strategy. 

Scott discusses going back to campus during Algebra of Happiness.
