Blueprint

Now, today's guest is working hard to change that.

Adam Mongrain was recently named the executive director of More and Better Housing, an organization tasked with finding the ways and means to deliver millions of new affordable, low carbon and resilient homes to Canadians everywhere.

Now, Adam is a longtime resident of Montreal, a city which has historically punched above its weight when it comes to the building of missing middle housing.

So Adam, thank you so much for being our guest today.

Mike, thank you for having me on.

Classonomics, hosted by Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt.

So let's talk about More and Better Housing, an organization that has always had a close affiliation with the Missing Middle Initiative.

Now, originally, your organization was called the Task Force for Housing and Climate.

All right, welcome into the Blueprint.

It's here, Dev.

It is here.

One final mailbag for the offseason because going forward, we're going to be talking all ball, all fall.

We'll see you after a short break.

All right, welcome back to The Blueprint.

We have, as promised, one final mailbag.

We got a few awesome questions to tee it up.

I loved being able to stand at a garage sale, ask a question, and have somebody with more expertise and more experience say, yes, buy that and explain why.

In that same group, I eventually said I was going to build Furniture Flipping Blueprint.

Someone told me I could never do it.

Well, bet me I did it.

You need to know when the right answer is paint, when the right answer is repair, when the right answer is restoration, and when the right answer is, just go dust it.

Now I was just about ready to record this episode when I remembered something.

My very first Furniture Flipping Blueprint member, Roxanne, has worked with antiques and auctions for years, and until recently, she worked at a large auction house in New Jersey.

So naturally, at the last possible minute, I messaged her.
