What does it take to help build and manage thousands of retail locations across the country?

In this episode, Danni Gallagher shares how she went from studying architecture to leading large-scale development programs for some of the biggest retail and healthcare brands in America.

Over nearly two decades at CVS, Danni worked her way from construction management to executive leadership, helping oversee everything from new store development and acquisitions to remodels, design standards, and national rollout strategies.

Along the way, she learned that development is rarely about having the perfect process. It's about solving problems, building relationships, adapting to constant change, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

Danni shares lessons from managing projects across multiple states, navigating public hearings, building high-performing teams, and working alongside developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and city officials to bring projects to life.

This episode is for anyone who wants to understand how development works at scale and why the same relationship-driven principles apply whether you're building one project or one thousand.
