Episode 32
What does it take to transform an old Florida farm into one of the most forward-thinking master-planned communities in the country? In this episode of Inspirational Leadership with the Best in Home, Mollie Carmichael talks with Dan Grosswald, President of Mattamy Homes’ Southeast Florida Division, about the leadership, vision, and long-game thinking behind Newfield—a community built around wellness, open space, and meaningful connection.
Dan shares how he and his team honored the original landowner’s vision, activated amenities long before homes were built, and partnered with planners, farmers, and local organizations to create a place that feels authentic from day one. Their conversation offers a rare look at how thoughtful, values-driven leadership can shape not only a community, but the way people live for generations.

The best thing about my career is that I learned something new at every place—management style, risk-taking, different products. All of it made me a better leader.
