In this episode, hosts Steve Carran and David Millili sit down with Jon Buerge, President of Urban Villages, to explore how sustainable development is reshaping hospitality. From his upbringing in Aspen and a deep-rooted love of nature to leading innovative, carbon-positive hotel projects like Populus, Jon shares how design, community, and environmental stewardship come together to create places where both people and the planet thrive.

Listeners will hear Jon’s perspective on:

  • Why authentic, place-based experiences are more valuable than predictable, cookie-cutter stays.
  • How the Populus hotels in Denver and Seattle are redefining sustainability through design, materials, and guest immersion.
  • Why he believes profitability and doing the right thing for the planet must go hand in hand—and how Urban Villages is proving that model works.
