Miami’s population is booming, but where are the jobs coming from?

In this episode of The Intersection, host Chanae L. Wood sits down with Rodrick Miller, CEO of the Miami-Dade Beacon Council, the organization driving economic development across Miami-Dade and creating jobs for the community.

Rodrick shares how the Beacon Council leverages Miami’s unique assets—universities, ports, airports, and workforce—to attract high-value industries like life sciences, logistics, finance, and tech, while building a stronger local business ecosystem. Drawing on his experience leading economic recoveries in Detroit, New Orleans, and Puerto Rico, he offers a behind-the-scenes look at the deals, strategies, and collaborations driving Miami’s booming economy.
