The Rose Report
Spring | 2022
Spring azaleas in bloom at Lake Norman. 
Welcome Spring!

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and Rose Associates is excited to share two new podcasts. This form of media is now among the most popular and growing in our industry.

I am co-hosting a quarterly edition of Around the Lake, a podcast from the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber spotlights members weekly in their regular podcast. In the special quarterly editions, I and my co-host, Chamber President & CEO Bill Russell, talk with local leaders about real estate and economic development in the lake communities in which they serve. You can find details about our first episode featuring Ryan McDaniels, Executive Director of the Lake Norman Economic Development Corporation below.

I also recently produced the first episode of my new podcast, Luminaries, which features inspired conversation with real estate investment and economic development leaders. This podcast focuses on the personalities behind real estate and economic development. I talk with exceptional and visionary leaders about where they draw their inspiration from and what makes them successful. 

I had grown intrigued by how podcasts have become so popular. We are always looking for new ways to reach out to our constituents and clients and clients are telling us they don’t want to spend a lot of time reading. They prefer pictures, similar to a show-and-tell. Or they will listen while jogging, doing exercise or driving. 

Great communication is driven by storytelling, and these podcasts will let us do just that: Tell stories about people and communities, about trends and things that are working in our industry. Rather than simply sharing data points, communication has evolved to center on shared experiences storytelling. 

I am looking forward to doing that with you.
