The Journey is a personal guide for the most exciting job in the world: Economic Developer!

Economic Developers open doors to the world and change their communities – one project at a time. A greenfield or re-development project can transform a community with a new or expanded facility to employ hundreds or even thousands of workers providing quality jobs, a higher income, and a brighter future for their families.

This is the life of the Economic Developer. It ties together insights from politics, economics, sales, supply chain management & procurement, marketing, business psychology, and real-life experience from multi billon dollar investments in Europe, USA and the world.

Chad, and his co-author Dr. Hajo Drees, illustrate, based on twisted and intertwined career paths of their combined nearly 50 years’ experience in local and global economic development & business development, how to lay the foundation to generate and win projects cutting through twists and turns - leading to the finish!
