About Building Charity

Life doesn't have to be an endless pursuit of bigger houses and more stuff. Join us each week as we share real stories from Charity, Texas - a groundbreaking new community just 30 minutes from San Antonio that's reimagining how we live, work, and connect. From our innovative community dining at The Kitchen (where a delicious dinner costs just $10!) to our unique approach to affordable homeownership through blockchain technology, we're proving that there's a better way to live. Each episode features conversations with residents, behind-the-scenes looks at our growth from our founding 50 pioneers, and practical insights into how we're using technology to make community living simpler and more accessible. Whether you're a remote worker dreaming of a real community, a first-time homebuyer looking for an affordable alternative to renting, or just someone curious about what happens when people choose connection over consumption, this podcast offers a window into what's possible when we rethink the American Dream.
