"What if our cities are making us sick? On today's episode of Stories Matter, we have a special guest, Jeff Siegler, who will share his insights on the impact of the built environment on our health."

[Why This Is Important] - Objective: Today, we delve into the power of storytelling to transform our cities and create healthier communities. By understanding how the built environment affects our physical, mental, and social well-being, we can take steps to create cities that prioritize the health and happiness of their residents.

[What you need to know] - In his new book, "Your City is Sick," Jeff Siegler explores the idea that our healthcare industry continues to grow because we focus solely on treating individuals, rather than addressing the collective health of our communities. He argues that by improving the built environment and creating walkable, connected neighborhoods, we can positively impact the health of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people at once.

[What you need to do] - Join us as we discuss the importance of retrofitting our cities, revisiting zoning regulations, and creating spaces that foster social connections and well-being. Learn how you can become a leader in transforming your own community to promote a healthier and happier population.

[TAKE ACTION] Do this now! Tune in to today's episode of Stories Matter and discover the power of storytelling and the built environment in transforming lives and creating healthier cities. Share your stories and ideas on how we can improve our communities by reaching out to us at [email protected].
