Our guest, Chris Cassilas gave up the lifestyle and big bucks of Silicon Valley start-ups to return to his small home mining town in Arizona and see if he could help make it a better place. 

He started a non-profit called Regenerating Sonora (a reference to the Sonoran desert where his town resides) and is working with others in his local community to focus on the well-being of the town, the people in it and the environment they all live in.  

Chris explains where his place-based philosophy comes from and provides numerous excellent examples of how they are systemically putting it into practice in and around Superior Arizona.  One example is how they have incorporated the Vital Conditions for Health Framework which you can learn more about at Health.org under Recovery and Resilience then “Framework”.
