Study after study details the deficits of our beloved home town. We are in the last quadrant of almost every measure of success and viability.

Yet on we go – sort of.

A prominent business leader said to Richard Longworth at a meeting of the GMC the other day when Longworth spoke about the Midwest and its problem — “My friends are making more money than ever. What’s the problem?”

Well, there are problems, there are deficits in leadership, cultural bias, economic disadvantages but … still, a lot of us stay.

What are the keys to success in Milwaukee? What are the options? What can we control and what can’t we control?
