June 09 Indianapolis Was a Ghost Town... He's Helping Turn it Around | Roots Pod #59
Since the 1980s, people have been leaving downtown Indianapolis for the suburbs. Greg Enas did the opposite. After 30 years in executive leadership at Eli Lilly, he could have retired to a beach and a golf course. Instead he moved into the heart of the city to build community, on a mission to make Indianapolis the joy capital of the world.
In this episode, hosts Tyler Lingle and Max Moore sit down with Greg, a longtime Indy resident and redemptive entrepreneur, to talk about how he became one of the most connected people in the city, why he believes ROOTS matter more than money, and what it actually takes to build a flourishing community.
