What would make someone walk away from a successful corporate career to build a tiny home community?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Tiny, Cindy sits down with Dedria Kolb, founder of Ideal Ridge Ventures and developer of Poplar Creek Tiny Home Village in North Carolina. After leaving careers in corporate law and banking, Dedria took a leap into tiny home development — creating a fully leased community now expanding into Phase 2.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why more tiny home communities don’t exist

• The REAL costs behind development

• Zoning, infrastructure, and hidden challenges

• The truth about lot rent

• Community-focused living

• And whether YOU could build a tiny home community someday

If you’re interested in tiny living, affordable housing, community life, or even a midlife career change, this episode is for you.
