America’s ongoing housing problems have impacted the lives of so many people–including today’s guest, Dr. Ben Carson.
Before becoming a renowned pediatric surgeon or the 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021, he faced many challenges as he and his aunt and uncle moved between Detroit and Boston.
In this interview, we discuss Dr. Carson’s run for president and shift from medicine to public policy, what’s made housing so unaffordable for so many Americans (and what can be done about it), and what he’s doing in his second “failed retirement.”
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- How Dr. Carson’s experiences with homelessness shaped his experiences with housing in America.
- Why Dr. Carson is a believer in transitioning people from dependency to self-sufficiency–and why he believes it’s so hard to change our established systems.
- The domino effects of unaffordable homes, increasing homelessness, and neverending price increases.
- The social programs Dr. Carson is working on now to address the other issues he sees affecting Americans today.
