Written by
Digital experiences are becoming increasingly nuanced, with micro-interactions playing a crucial role in how users engage with interfaces. These tiny, purposeful animations do more than just delight—they provide essential feedback, guide user behavior, and create memorable experiences that keep users coming back.
Brandon here. This first episode hit me deep. I had the honor of sitting with Egbert Perry, a man who literally changed the blueprint for urban development in America.
From growing up in Antigua to building The Integral Group, he’s led over $1B in real estate projects, including Centennial Place, the first of its kind. What stood out to me most was his why. Egbert isn’t just a developer—he’s a visionary trying to rebuild the village. His story is one of bold strategy, real struggle, and deep commitment to community.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How Perry turned a failing public housing site into a national model
Why Black ownership isn’t enough real equity means shared leadership
The power of doing good and doing well in business“If you’re in a position to help and you don’t shame on you.”
🎧 Watch the episode
Let us know what you think and if it inspires a new way you want to build. In solidarity, Brandon
