In Breaking Walls Episode 54, we go exploring at Industry City! https://industrycity.com The former Bush Terminal in on 3rd avenue in Sunset Park has been transformed into an office and community space with both retail and great food on the grounds. It's an incredible, growing hub of innovation and entrepreneurialism.

I sit down with Cristal Rivera, Chief of Staff and Director of Community Engagement at Industry City, Miguel Pacheco, Director of Web Design and Tech at Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow, and Darryle Hawes, architect turned maker who uses the tremendous Innovation Lab at Industry City. It's a chance for a behind the scenes look at what's happening at this Hub.

• Cristal Rivera: Origins in New Jersey; Passion for the City and social Structure; Insights into Industry City’s present and future
