Happy New Year...we begin 2025 with a real winner from the west side, an import from West Virginia and a really good one!

Rev. Al and I are thrilled to spotlight Beau Higginbotham, the dynamic President and CEO of Ascension Saint Agnes, whose leadership and vision have transformed healthcare delivery in West Baltimore City and beyond.

Beau's journey to Ascension Saint Agnes is marked by dedication, innovation, and a deep commitment to improving the lives of others. Under his guidance, the hospital has become a beacon of compassionate care and cutting-edge medical advancements. Whether it's overseeing the expansion of critical programs or championing initiatives to address health disparities, Beau is always at the forefront, ensuring that Ascension Saint Agnes serves as a true community partner.

We were lucky to catch Beau amidst his busy schedule, but that's no surprise for someone who leads with such passion and energy. Our conversation dives into his mission to create a holistic approach to healthcare, where patients are treated as individuals, not just diagnoses. Beau’s leadership has also been pivotal in fostering collaborations that bring together healthcare providers, local organizations, and community leaders to tackle pressing health challenges head-on.

Beau, we thank you for your tireless dedication to the people of Baltimore and for joining us on He's Holy, I'm Knott. Your work inspires us all, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for you and the incredible team at Ascension Saint Agnes!

Rev and I are so excited to welcome Mike Henderson, the President of ABC, the Associated Builders and Contractors, Baltimore.

But before we dive in we take a moment to recognize Rev Al and the opening of the Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center. An amazing redevelopment of the PS103 School where Justice Marshall and many other notable Baltimorean's spent time learning. Now an amazing Amenity Center poised for greatness and change is on the way. Congrats Rev, we are so proud of you.

How about Mike Henderson, a visionary guy who came to the Associated Builders and Contractors of Baltimore over 30 years ago, starting off at the National office and then moving to the Baltimore office which he has headed for 28 years. Under Mike's leadership the creation of the MCCEI was possible as the industry was looking for ways to building solid pathways for students trying to enter the trades. He has overseen the expasion of the ABC Apprenticeship Program, now graduating men and women of all ages. Recently they moved to the East Side of Baltimore City another bold move for ABC, made possible by Mike's vision. We talk workforce, skills, and the many stories of sucess for young Apprentice's and the opportunitties that abound in the Built Environment.

Jump into this one and learn about the great things that are happening and at the ABC, and get a closer look at their leader Mike Henderson.

Thanks Mike for your vision and committment to our industry and for taking the time to join us on He's Holy & I'm Knott.

Rev. Al and I are excited to end the Vegas Series with the man whose vision makes all of this possible, Mr. Howard Perlow.

We were lucky to catch him as Howard is always busy attending to the needs of every person that shows up for the Maryland Party at the ICSC. He's created a monster. In the 3rd week of May every year for at least the last 20 years you can find the entire Maryland real estate industry and all of their vendors gathered around him at the Wynn.

If there's anyone that could fill 30 minutes with interesting cool stuff it's Howard Perlow. He's no stranger to He's Holy, I'm Knott and we are so happy to have him back. We really appreciate that he see's the value in our interviewing folks that come to Vegas for the ICSC Maryland Party.

The discussion is short and sweet...we get a little history lesson on the Maryland Party and he fills us in on all things ISCS. He and his team are amazing and they are working hard on behalf of all Marylander's for the week that we spend there every year.

Perlow's leadership is essential in gathering this group together. It's a tribute to this hard working Lancer, who has been community-minded since he was a young man.

Howard, thank you and your team for allowing us to promote your baby by telling this great story. We are looking forward to next year and the warm weather in Las Vegas for the Maryland Party 2025.

See everyone at the Wynn!
