Among the esteemed guests was Charlyn Nater, the Baltimore Main Street coordinator, who shared insights on efforts to support small businesses and revitalize local corridors. Chad Williams, Executive Director of the West North Avenue Development Authority, detailed plans for the $28 million investment to redevelop West North Avenue—an area long overlooked but now poised for transformation.

The second episode continued the show’s mission of amplifying impactful initiatives, featuring Dionne Waldron McNeal and Tiana Wells-Lawson of M&T Bank in East Baltimore.

The next episode, airing in March, promises another dynamic lineup.
