Why Sacramento’s Next Decade Could Be Its Biggest Yet | Bryan Flaherty

Sacramento business, entrepreneurship, downtown development, AI, real estate and the future of local media are all changing fast. Bryan Flaherty, Publisher & Market President of the Sacramento Business Journal, joins Mark for a wide-ranging conversation about the biggest stories shaping the Sacramento region and where the local economy goes from here.

Bryan shares his path from advertising and media into leadership at the Business Journal, why Sacramento’s business community continues to grow, and what he sees happening in downtown Sacramento, the startup ecosystem and some of the region’s fastest-growing companies.

They also dig into the changing media landscape and the role of trusted local journalism in an era of social media, political division and artificial intelligence. Bryan explains why the Business Journal has stayed focused on factual local business reporting, how AI could change the way readers access decades of Business Journal reporting, and why boots-on-the-ground journalism still matters.
The conversation also covers:

• Why Sacramento has an opportunity to become an even stronger business and entrepreneurial center
• The future of downtown Sacramento and the urban core
• Startups, jobs, real estate and the stories readers care about most
• Why face-to-face relationships and networking still matter
• How AI is changing journalism and media
• The Sacramento Business Journal’s events, awards and Fastest Growing Companies
• Bryan’s vision for the Business Journal and the Sacramento region

Bryan believes Sacramento is already in a strong position—but still has enormous unrealized potential. His goal is to help tell that story honestly while keeping a finger on the pulse of the people and businesses driving the region forward.
