Some politicians make promises. Others get things done. And then there’s Renard Johnson, a businessman-turned-mayor who built a thriving company from the ground up before stepping into public service.

Renard didn’t need this job. He had already built a multi-million-dollar business in defense contracting, scaled it to 800+ employees, and could have just enjoyed the success. Instead, he ran for Mayor of El Paso—not for power, but to fix the inefficiencies he saw firsthand as a business owner.

In this episode, Renard shares why he left business for politics, how he’s making government work more like a business, and why El Paso is one of the biggest untapped opportunities for entrepreneurs.

“ If you haven't seen your city come out and knock on your door and ask what they can do—first, to retain you in their community, second, to expand you—come to El Paso.” ~ Renard Johnson
