## Resource

They call him inexperienced; we call him untainted. On this episode of The World's Mayor Experience , host Joshua T. Berglan introduces you to the face of the future: Alan Henderson. A 25-year-old Esports entrepreneur running for Mayor of Tampa in 2027, Alan is fighting for access over authority and people over portfolios. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we discuss: The Gamer Mindset in City Hall: How to optimize government and eliminate "lag." Radical Housing Reform: Vacancy taxes on investors and the case for modular homes. AI & Civil Liberties: How to use technology for transparency without creating a surveillance state. Restorative Justice: Why we need mental health response teams alongside police. Alan shares his heartbreaking story of losing his mother to a failed system and how that tragedy mobilized him to build a "Smart City with Heart." Whether you live in Florida or halfway across the globe, this is a masterclass in modern, common-sense leadership. Guest: Alan Henderson ( hendersonfortampa.org ) Host: Joshua T. Berglan (The World's Mayor)
