In this episode, Philip and Bill Carney discuss: 

• Connecting the right people 
• Incentives provided by tax credits 
• Valuable lessons for growth 
• What is true success? 

Key Takeaways:

• Connecting the right people creates synergy and magic. Networking, listening to diverse perspectives, and building relationships without expectations lead to mutually beneficial outcomes.
• Tax credits provide economic incentives for investing in affordable housing and renewable energy projects. Renovating existing properties for affordable housing is often more cost-effective than new construction.
• Learn to listen more than expounding, consider different perspectives, and accept straightforward solutions. Realize the power of networking to find jobs and foster growth by surrounding oneself with good people sharing similar goals.
• True success is found in a happy family, great friends, meaningful relationships, and surrounding oneself with people who make one a better person. Embracing aging with a positive attitude and promoting charitable causes that help others.

“Success to me is happiness. Be around people that make you happy and make you a better person. That to me is success.” - Bill Carney
