310 Devon Zuegel - From Software Engineer to Townbuilder, Building a New Village in California Wine Country
In this episode, Levi sits down with Devon Zuegel, a former software engineer and the visionary behind Esmeralda, a proposed 260-acre village in California’s wine country. Inspired by childhood memories and a personal obsession, Devon has set out to create a place that solves the issues she saw in the built environment and that could be a blend of vibrant urbanism and intentional community. She shares how she’s navigating California’s complex regulatory environment, the idea of pop-up villages to create community, raising long-term capital, and how to build trust with locals.
