On this episode of Butternomics, Mayor Andre Dickens pulls back the curtain on how Atlanta really runs. With the World Cup bringing 4.5 billion eyes to the A and the Neighborhood Reinvestment Act reshaping the south and west sides of the city, the 61st Mayor of Atlanta delivers a masterclass on how to tap in before the world shows up. He breaks down the low-interest city loans most entrepreneurs don't know exist, the $5K and $10K micro-loans being handed out through Showcase Atlanta ahead of the World Cup, and the anti-displacement programs under the Neighborhood Reinvestment Act paying $30K to keep legacy homeowners in their homes. He gets into Invest Atlanta, the tax allocation districts that built Atlantic Station and the Beltline, the cautionary tale of Black entrepreneurs who lost everything during the 96 Olympics, and the 4,000 appointees who really run Georgia. If you live in Atlanta, run a business in Atlanta, or want to own anything here, this is required listening before the world shows up. 📲 Listen and Subscribe to Butternomics Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/butternomics-the-business-of-culture/id1758759040 🎙️ Be a guest on Butternomics: https://www.butternomics.com/guests 📌 Follow Butternomics on Instagram: / butternomicspod 🎬 Follow Butternomics on TikTok: / butternomics
