In the Season 3 finale of Madinah In The Market, Rachel Ligtenberg, President & CEO of the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA), explores the power of community and the inherent responsibilities of institutional progress.

From Seattle's FIFA World Cup celebrations to the emergence of the inaugural Night Shift Art & Music Event, Ligtenberg considers the Market's capacity to foster human connection. The conversation concludes with her most consequential lesson: progress moves at the speed of trust.

In the extended audio, Rachel offers listeners a candid account of institutional decisions, acknowledging failures and the importance of restoring trust among the Market's constituents.
