Redefining Atlantic City: Mike Binder's Blueprint for Innovation and Resilience

On the eve of Thanksgiving, we're joined by a special guest, Mike Binder, an entrepreneur in the sign and specialty construction business, for a spirited discussion about gratitude, innovation, and making a difference. As the mastermind behind the design and construction of Citizens Bank Park's home run bell, Mike brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his industry to the table. Today, he shares with us about his latest project, the revitalization of a 143-acre property at Bader Field in Atlantic City, a massive undertaking that has been six years in the making.

Mike's vision for the Renaissance at Bader Field project is nothing short of ambitious. He imagines it as a beacon for motorsports and innovation, with an emphasis on sustainability and resilience. In our chat, he elaborates on the project’s centerpiece, a 2.44-mile motor course encircled by 1,500 advanced technology residences designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. However, the project is more than just about construction. With a heart for the community, Mike ponders on how the project can positively impact Atlantic City, discussing issues like poverty and homelessness that he hopes to address.

Looking into the future, Mike shares his dream of transforming Atlantic City into an education and technology hub, underscoring the paramount importance of embracing AI in enhancing individual value as employees. Water, or more specifically, water reclamation, is a major point of our discussion, with Mike gleaning insights from his work in Israel and stressing the urgent need for technological and educational solutions to solve water problems on a global scale. To wrap up our enlightening conversation, we delve into the realms of entrepreneurship, the thrill of taking risks, and ways to stay motivated and passionate about one's work.
