Part 1: Planning for the Future with Chief Greg DeWitt of Bonita Fire
Bonita Business Podcast with Coach Darcy
When you think of local businesses, you’re probably not thinking about one very big, important local business. In fact, this business had a budget last year of $38 million, and if you pay taxes in Bonita, about 70% of that was funded by you and me.

The Business of Business with Debi Braendle of Bonita Boarding Kennel
Bonita Business Podcast with Coach Darcy
You might not realize that 70% of each new family who moves here, full or part-time, will have a pet.. That’s good news for our next guest, Debi Braendle, owner of the Bonita Boarding Kennel and Pet Camp. In this interview, Debi tells us about the real work of the business--and it's not what you might think.
info_outlineI don’t care where you live in the world—everybody’s talking about healthcare today. We talk about what it can do, what it costs, and where to get the services we need.
Well, here in Bonita, that conversation has accelerated recently. I’m recording this for you in the spring of 2019, and so just last year, two major health care properties opened in our town. And the crazy thing is that they’re practically across the street from each other. Okay, that street is Tamiami Trail, otherwise known as US 41, and crossing that street on foot might just land you in one of those new shiny emergency rooms.
But truth is, we now have what I’ve been calling a healthcare hub here in Bonita. In these first three episodes of the podcast this season, I’ll introduce you to leaders from all three of these healthcare resources that huddle around Coconut Road and 41.
First up is Alex Greenwood, who leads the work Lee Health Coconut Point. In this interview, Alex explains what it was like to plan and build this property from the ground up, and we spend time talking about how when you work to get the people right, you can get the rest of it right. It’s an interview you won’t want to miss.
Before we get to that, I want to welcome a new sponsor to the podcast this season—Spotlight News Magazine, Spotlight is the local news that shines a light on the people of Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero. You can read the Spotlight at swspotlight.com.
Also, we’re grateful for the continued support of Woods Weidenmiller Michettie & Rudnick, attorneys at law with an office here in Bonita Springs led by Jay Caudill. Find them at LawFirmBonita.com.
