Chris Goode
As Chris, Ashley, and Hailee catch up, Chris fills them in on the story of Ruby Jean, his grandmother, who inspired him to start his own health-conscious business.
And after, Chris shares his ‘why’ behind the push for Troost Ave. to be renamed Truth Ave., as well as some exciting details about a new project he has helped spearhead with RideKC – an Adopt-A-Stop program aimed to clean up and maintain bus stops around the city.
The gentrification of Troost can be a difficult conversation in real estate – how to develop an area while still benefiting the residents of the area, and promoting positive change. Listen as Ashley and Chris dive into how Ruby Jean’s has been a great example of how this can be done.
And of course, it wouldn’t be an interview with Ashley and Hailee without a fun speed round of fun and interesting questions!
