What Is PLANNING? What Planners Do, How To Deal With Them, and Why I'm On YouTube Instead

This episode is everything you wanted to know about urban and regional planning (that can fit into a reasonable-length YouTube video), but were afraid to ask. This is response to A LOT of requests I've gotten since the beginning of this channel, to answer questions like:

- What is planning, and what's the best way for someone to get engaged in planning efforts and make a difference in their community?
- What kind of educational background or experience do I need to become a planner?
- Can you talk about your own career path and projects you've worked on?
- What the heck are you doing on YouTube, anyway?

I touch on all of this in today's video, and I expect it to result in even MORE questions and requests, so fire away down in the comments!
