Welcome to Hometown Jax, the podcast where hosts Aaron Bacus and Jason Kindler sit down with the boldest minds in business, leadership, and community building across Jacksonville. Each episode captures personal stories, professional journeys, and the wins—and losses—that shape the Northeast Florida business landscape.

In this episode, Aaron sits down with Daniel Davis, President and CEO of the JAX Chamber, to unpack his remarkable journey from local politics to becoming one of Jacksonville’s most influential leaders. Daniel shares how his love for Jacksonville inspired a career rooted in service, economic development, and creating opportunity. From growing up on the city’s west side to championing international business relocation, launching a podcast of his own, and leading with a long-game mindset, Daniel’s story is a deep dive into what makes Jacksonville thrive—and where it’s going next.
