RJ Fishman, Chief Strategy Officer at Artanis Emergency Communities, joins me to break down a radical new approach to disaster response housing.

After the LA wildfires destroyed over 10,000 homes, RJ and his team asked a bold question: What if private industry could do it better than FEMA?

In this conversation, we cover:

  • How “emergency communities” were born
  • Why modular housing is now safer and faster than stick-built homes
  • The economics of disaster recovery
  • Working with state governments in North Carolina, Texas, Florida, and more
  • The deeper mission behind providing a real home to families in crisis

RJ also shares how meditation, Judaism, and Sinatra all played a role in shaping the company's vision — and why this new asset class may be the future of affordable housing.
