One of the goal's of the podcast is to talk to people who will help build Raleigh's future. John Kane is doing that quite literally as his company has spearheaded some of Raleigh's biggest development projects of the past few decades, including the "recycling" (a term he prefers) of North Hills and, more recently, The Dillon and Stanhope developments near downtown Raleigh.
Kane is also a North Carolina native, a husband to Willa and father to 4 children, a golfer and devoted work-out guy, and serves on myriad boards and has garnered numerous awards, including the News & Observer's Tar Heel of the Year in 2016. We talked to him about a variety of subjects--business, personal, and philosophical--most of them pertaining to his experience helping to build a better Raleigh.
Before the interview, Ashton and Hayes share their #Top3Raleigh buildings and talk about what's interesting, including new restaurant and retail openings and Hayes attempting to ride the bus.
