Welcome to Chatter with BNC, Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people.

Today's episode features Julian "Bubba" Rawl, cofounder of Cary-based Preston Development, which has developed more than 16,000 home lots since 1991. He and partner Tim Smith are now focused on the 8,100-acre Chatham Park, which is on pace to become North Carolina's largest multiuse planned development. The Greenville native discusses his initial foray building ice rinks around North Carolina, Preston's dramatic growth in Cary and Disney's plans to create a large residential community within Chatham Park.
