Harvard Dropout Builds Nation’s First Car-Free Utopia, with Ryan Johnson and JD Roth

Afford Anything Podcast

#505: Ryan Johnson isn't your average CEO. He's a visionary reimagining city life, one car-free community at a time.

In this episode, we chat with Ryan, the co-founder of Culdesac, about building walkable neighborhoods designed for human connection, not just traffic.

We'll dive into his experience with Opendoor, his passion for electric bikes (he owns over 60!), and his audacious plan to revolutionize urban living.

Buckle up (or maybe don't) for a conversation about the future of cities, the power of community, and why you might not need a car ever again.
