Fairfax County Executive Bryan Hill joins Positive Philter to discuss his career journey from aerospace engineering to leading one of the largest counties in Virginia. We explore how he approaches local government like a business, manages a $10 billion budget, maintains a AAA bond rating, and oversees approximately 16,000 employees. Bryan shares insights on the One Fairfax initiative, building relationships with neighboring jurisdictions, and what young people should know about pursuing a career in public service. This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at local government, leadership, and the decisions that shape our communities. Whether you are interested in public service, career development, or understanding how your local government operates, this conversation has something for you.
