The Reimagining of a Magical Place with Michelle Johnson
Michelle Johnson shares her journey from high school to adulthood, including her marriage to Bill and their various moves across the Western United States. She discusses her experiences in college, her passion for interior design, and how she ended up in the real estate and flipping houses business. Michelle also talks about the history of Santa's Village, an adventure park in Lake Arrowhead, CA, and how she and Bill decided to purchase and restore it. Michelle Johnson and Brian Blackburn discuss the challenges and rewards of running an adventure park when she and her husband took on the project when their children were older, allowing them to focus on the park. They faced financial risks and had to deal with community outrage and permitting challenges. Michelle talks about the importance of having a clear vision for the park and sticking to it, even when faced with pressure to add more traditional rides and attractions. She also discusses the satisfaction of seeing the park succeed and the joy of seeing her grandson enjoy it.
