In Part 2 of Episode 10 of the Let's Talk SWFL Podcast, we continue our conversation with Brian Rist, founder of Storm Smart and a long-time resident and advocate for Sanibel Island.

Brian shares a more personal side of his story — from the emotional aftermath of Hurricane Ian to the long-term recovery efforts and what it truly means to be a leader in times of crisis.

We dive into: – Brian's deep roots and love for Sanibel Island 🏝️ – The emotional and physical toll of Hurricane Ian – His role in recovery efforts and creating Sanibel Solutions – How strong leadership and local collaboration make all the difference – Why community involvement matters more now than ever

🎧 Tune in for a heartfelt and hopeful conversation that reminds us what SWFL is made of — strength, unity, and vision.
