Method

Kevin Crowder spends fifteen years as Economic Development Director for the City of Miami Beach through the South Beach transformation, starts the BusinessFlare® brand in 2013 and forms the company in Miami in 2018 as an economic development consulting firm, and builds three YouTube native channels on top of the practice: The Music Cities™ from 2025, which uses heavy metal to teach placemaking, music scenes and entrepreneurship, Music Cities Radio from 2025 for discovery, and Street Economics® Television from 2026, which carries the same lessons to a pure economic development audience. The order is the reverse of most paths on this map: the professional practice and the client work come first and pay first, the channels come after and are run as a media entity pursuing festival press credentials, and the owned products are the consulting engagements, the Street Economics® intelligence platform and the books. The audience for the metal content and the audience for the economic development content are treated as one audience. Details are as stated by the owner and are not independently verified.
