About this listen
In this episode of the Make It Happen podcast, host Vince Croci sits down with Darren Moore, a global logistics entrepreneur and "boomerang" resident who returned to Toledo in 2018. This conversation dives into the vision Darren recently shared in the Toledo Blade regarding where the city is and where it needs to go.
Darren explores his perspective on Toledo’s "next phase," including:
The "Soft Landing" and the Shot Clock: Why the city must move beyond past federal and local support to create a more competitive, performance-driven culture.
Identifying the Gaps: The critical need for early-stage risk capital and venture capital to keep young talent from leaving for other markets.
Defining the Players: Moving away from "groupthink" to find sophisticated individuals who can lead Toledo on a national and international stage.
A New Investment Model: Darren's proposal for an early-stage venture fund and a "Toledo Community Fund" to ensure every resident has skin in the game as the city grows.
