Florida, Freedom, and the Price of Growth — A Conversation with Daniel Hassan
About this episode
A conversation with Daniel Hassan about Florida's political landscape and issues surrounding growth and governance.
I sat down with Daniel Hassan, a major Fishback donor and Renner donor, despite being on opposite sides of the governor’s race. What followed was not a shouting match. It was a real conversation about old Florida, overdevelopment, corporate power, AI, H-1Bs, DeSantis, Byron Donalds, James Fishback, Paul Renner, and Jay Collins. Most interesting part? Daniel called Jay Collins “an American hero” and said he thinks Jay “would make a good governor” His criticism wasn’t ideological. It was whether Jay can connect with a wider audience. That’s a serious conversation worth having.
