Why Community Is Nashville’s Superpower — A Conversation with S3 CEO Rod McDaniel

In this special Innovation Series episode of Parallel Entrepreneur, hosts Mark Cleveland and Johnny Anderson sit down with Rod McDaniel, CEO of S3 Recycling Solutions and Board Chair of the Greater Nashville Technology Council. Rod’s journey, from growing up in public housing in Nashville to leading a nationally recognized, mission-driven tech recycling company, is a powerful example of what community, purpose, and leadership can create. Together we explore: • Why community is Nashville’s greatest strength • How mobility, transit, and opportunity are deeply connected • What’s fueling Nashville’s new leadership renaissance • How to use “dead time,” traffic, commutes, swims, for growth • Why passion outside of work strengthens culture inside it • How companies relocating to Nashville are shaking things up • The surprising role of musicians, artists and creators in tech culture • The city’s collaborative DNA, and how to protect it Rod’s story is as grounded as it is extraordinary, and this conversation is filled with the kind of insight that only comes from someone who’s built a life on purpose, service, and second chances.
