Description
They call him inexperienced; we call him untainted. On this episode of The World's Mayor Experience, host Joshua T. Berglan introduces you to the face of the future: Alan Henderson. A 25-year-old Esports entrepreneur running for Mayor of Tampa in 2027, Alan is fighting for access over authority and people over portfolios.
In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we discuss:
- The Gamer Mindset in City Hall: How to optimize government and eliminate "lag."
- Radical Housing Reform: Vacancy taxes on investors and the case for modular homes.
- AI & Civil Liberties: How to use technology for transparency without creating a surveillance state.
- Restorative Justice: Why we need mental health response teams alongside police.
Alan shares his heartbreaking story of losing his mother to a failed system and how that tragedy mobilized him to build a "Smart City with Heart." Whether you live in Florida or halfway across the globe, this is a masterclass in modern, common-sense leadership.
