Behind the Brick is where Kansas City’s past meets its future.

Presented by GKW and hosted by JJ Sanchez, Behind the Brick tells the stories behind the people, places, and projects shaping Kansas City. From the history built into the city’s iconic neighborhoods and landmarks to the commercial developments redefining its skyline, we go beyond the surface to uncover how Kansas City was built—and where it’s headed next.

Through conversations with developers, entrepreneurs, historians, architects, civic leaders, and local changemakers, JJ explores the vision, decisions, challenges, and opportunities behind the city’s continued evolution.

Whether you’re interested in Kansas City history, commercial real estate, business, development, or the future of the community, Behind the Brick gives you an inside look at the stories behind the buildings—and the people building what’s next.
