Скачать или смотреть Special: Interview with Mayor Cawley

In this interview, I sit down with Mayor TJ Cawley of Morrisville, North Carolina to explore the intersection of civic leadership, sustainability, and innovation. We talk about what it means to lead a growing town in an era of rapid change—where technology, data, and community values must work together.

Mayor Cawley shares how failure and experimentation have shaped his approach to leadership, why sustainability is a top priority for Morrisville, and how small towns can still take big steps toward a smarter future. From solar-powered picnic tables to smart trash sensors, the town’s commitment to progress is grounded in real action.

We also reflect on the importance of staying grounded through uncertainty—and why sometimes the best advice comes from Ted Lasso: "Be a goldfish."

This conversation is a window into how thoughtful leadership and a willingness to adapt can create lasting impact, especially when innovation is driven by service.
