The Big Dare that leads to the field of dreams | Dick Sears

LAconic welcomes Dick Sears, retired mayor of Holly Springs, North Carolina. Dick Sears shares his experience with accepting dares that changed his life for the better.

Going from being an executive of Sears Roebuck, to creating the safest town of North Carolina, Dick saw Holly Springs grow from 3,500 to 46,000. In his 20 years of leadership he added a man-made recreational lake, a minor league baseball field, and a  world class hospital. This ultimately lead to a $2 billion investment from Fuji Pharmaceutical, the largest investment in the state.
