Shrouds have no pockets.” He tells host Jane C. Hu in today’s episode why he bought the historic Edmonds Theater in his hometown, challenges millionaires to give away more of their money “what are you afraid of?” and explains the value in investing in local communities. Jane and contributor Chase Hutchinson also ask for his travel tips in the Seattle area and his future plans for the theater he now owns. Then, Jane is joined by Eaton Fire survivor and writer iO Wright, who helped create a resource guide for fire survivors after he lost his home more than a year ago. iO speaks with Jane and Spokane’s RANGE Media fellow Yong-Yu Huang about advice for rebuilding in Spokane, where to find reliable information, and how Seattleites should prepare for fire.   Learn more about the sponsors of this August 31st episode: Habitat for Humanity  Seattle Restored Northwest Film Forum Clipper Vacations Want to get in touch?
