Beyond the Roundabout Episode #3 | Big Vision and Global Perspective

OneZone Chamber Studio Season 1 Episode 4

In Episode 3 of Beyond the Roundabout, Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam and OneZone Chamber CEO Jack Russell cover three major initiatives shaping the city’s future. They begin with the redevelopment of the former CNO campus, which is being reimagined as a vibrant, park-centered, mixed-use neighborhood designed with community input and a focus on livability. The conversation then shifts to Mayor Finkam’s experience with the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, where she and Carmel’s executive team engaged in high-level learning on operational excellence, storytelling, and modern public leadership. The episode wraps with a look at Carmel’s sister city relationships—from welcoming a Japanese delegation to receiving a top international award—and how global connections can foster empathy, cultural exchange, and fresh ideas at home. Whether you're a civic leader, business owner, or curious resident, this episode offers an inspiring look at how vision, learning, and collaboration drive local progress.
