The UnlearnT Podcast

Ever wondered how a small-town mayor can drive significant community growth without pocketing a dime of his salary? In our latest episode of the UnlearnT Podcast, we sit down with Mayor Greg Bennett of Swainsboro, Georgia, who shares his remarkable approach to governance and development. Mayor Bennett details his choice to reinvest his mayoral earnings into local projects, offering a fresh perspective on the power of a community-first mindset. From creating jobs to building affordable housing, his initiatives have not only increased Swainsboro's population but also set a new standard for local leadership.
Transitioning from farming to running a successful assisted living business, Mayor Bennett reveals the financial and environmental challenges that pushed him to pivot his career. This former farmer delves into strategic planning, the importance of partnerships, and how he expanded his business portfolio to include a travel center, gym, restaurant, and hotel. He shares invaluable insights on managing multiple ventures while highlighting innovative solutions, like forming a co-op for better crop pricing, to support the farming community.
