Episode #035 with Meg Daly - Turning Ideas Into Reality

On this episode we speak with Meg Daly. A 30-year sales and marketing veteran who is currently CEO/President of Friends of The Underline (@theunderlinemia) - A project transforming the land below Miami’s Metrorail into a 10‑mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination.

Today, you will hear Meg and I discuss the story of how the idea for The Underline came about, the hurdles she has faced along the way including but not limited to COVID, making sure the community was on-board with the project’s vision and last but not least…. Having to raise the $140+ million dollars needed to complete the project.
