Corcoran Reverie, a high-end real estate brokerage and an affiliate of The Corcoran Group LLC, proudly announces their new partnership with luxury broker and advocate Jason Warner as they continue their focus on the growth of the Tennessee division of Corcoran Reverie.

“Since the launch of the Nashville office in 2022, we have welcomed some amazing agents and experienced steady growth. The partnership with Jason will allow Corcoran Reverie to continue to grow into the next phase of our plan for Middle Tennessee,” says Owner & Real Estate Advisor Jacob Watkins.

Jason Warner’s story is one of hope and resilience. It was in the late 1990s, just as Warner was making a name for himself in the contemporary Christian music industry, that he abruptly became homeless. This experience gave him a special connection to housing and the importance of having a home. After relocating to Los Angeles to reignite his music career, he met his now-husband, deMarco. Over the next decade, Jason and deMarco toured as a recording duo until they welcomed twin sons. Determined to create a legacy for their children and other youth, Warner founded a nonprofit called S.A.F.E. (Safe, Affirming, Family Environment), which aims to provide a safe, affirming family environment where families and children are supported through the power of community, nature, kindness, acceptance, and education.

Much of Jason’s success has been fueled by his personal real estate investing portfolio after studying under Robert Kiyosaki and the Tigrent Learning program. In 2014, he and his husband established GratiDude Ranch, an event venue in Leiper’s Fork that also offers overnight accommodations. Today, as a licensed REALTOR, broker, and luxury property specialist, Jason is renowned for helping buyers and sellers realize innovative solutions that benefit everyone involved. Coupled with his investment opportunities and personal knowledge in the field, Warner prides himself on providing unique insights to his clients to further their real estate ventures.

“I am thrilled to be joining Corcoran Reverie. Together, we will bring a boutique concept with corporate support to Leiper’s Fork, which has been needed and desired for years,” says Jason Warner. “This will allow our office to offer unparalleled services to the clientele moving to this area who have been seeking a luxury brand with bespoke white-glove service.”

Leiper’s Fork is a hidden gem in Williamson County. This picture-perfect village is on the National Register of Historic Places and is protected by The Land Trust for Tennessee, saving it from overdevelopment forever. Located southwest of Franklin and Nashville, Leiper’s Fork has had its share of A-list celebrity residents as it offers country living while still being convenient to the “big city life” and the Nashville music scene.

“What a way to kick off 2024 with another exciting and impactful partnership in Tennessee!” says Owner & Broker Hilary Farnum-Fasth. “Jason and the Leiper’s Fork team have deep ties to the local community that will allow the company to thrive within the niche market,” Farnum-Fasth continues. “The like-heartedness Jason has toward supporting his community in such a profound way is further proof that the unique culture that makes Corcoran Reverie such an incredible brokerage to work at will continue to spread across Middle Tennessee.”

Gangguan Bridge, named through a public vote, is a 13m high, 92.5m long pedestrian bridge spanning Gangguan Port, the hub of Tongyeong’s fishing industry. Illuminated with colorful lights at night, the bridge offers a stunning view of the city center and the serene sea. It is renowned as an observation point to appreciate the night scenery from atop the bridge.

2. Dpirang
Dpirang is the country’s first and largest outdoor digital theme park. Inspired by murals that change every two years in Dongpirang Village, a famous mural village in South Korea, Dpirang incorporates media art. A 1.5km hillside trail adorned with harmonious music enhances the experience.

3. Gangguan Cultural Square
A pivotal landmark in Tongyeong’s night tourism, Gangguan Cultural Square features a large sculpture of Tongyeong’s mascot, ‘Dongbaegi’ (a seagull character), holding the Tongyeong night tourism slogan ‘Tonight TongYeong’ over the sea.

Rivers are Life Unveils Global Results of Inaugural ‘State of Rivers Around the World’ Survey

Rivers are Life Unveils Global Results of Inaugural ‘State of Rivers Around the World’ Survey

86% of respondents agree that river pollution greatly affects human health, but more than half (57%) have little to no knowledge about how to clean it up.

Today, Rivers are Life, a collective voice for global river ecosystems, reveals the multinational, multicultural, and cross-generational results for the “State of Rivers Around the World” survey. The global survey gathered insights from 6,645 people throughout 14 countries and four continents, including North America, South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. 

These results show that, despite regional and cultural differences, people around the world agree that climate health and rivers are inseparable and vitally important. 91% of people around the world believe that climate change needs to be acted on in 2024, and nine in ten report that rivers are important to climate change mitigation. Moreover, 80% globally agree that rivers have an impact on their lives. 

Despite 81% of people considering rivers to be a vital part of the food system – and 94% agreeing that rivers are important to agriculture – the majority of people around the world would not eat a fish out of their local river. 

“What’s most shocking about this data is that we found something that more than 90 percent of the world agrees on: climate change needs to be addressed, and rivers play a vital role in mitigating those issues,” said Katie Horning, BeAlive, Head of Rivers are Life Brand. “Despite that alignment, there are still gaps in knowledge about rivers, and how people can take action to make a difference.”

Greater Education Is Needed 

Across findings, respondents agreed that there is a need for greater education around the environment, river systems and how they can help. 98% of people around the world would like to know more about environmental issues. 

Importantly, 74% of participants believe more public awareness will improve the health of rivers, and 63% say lack of attention to the issue is a major obstacle to reducing water pollution. 

“Education is a key component to addressing issues like river pollution, and we at LSU contribute both academic expertise and on-the-ground support to Rivers are Life,” said Clint Willson, Interim Dean of LSU’s College of the Coast & Environment and Director of the LSU Center for River Studies. The Center for River Studies is an academic partner to Rivers are Life. “LSU’s commitment to this research signifies the importance of educating and encouraging younger generations globally to advocate for the vitality of waterways.” 

Around the world, and across generations, there are a few key differentiators about what individuals want to learn and how they take action:

  • People in South America and Asia (69%) are twice as likely to be interested in learning about environmental issues facing rivers than those in North America and Europe (30%).
  • Globally, Gen Z (56%) and Millennials (57%) are much more interested in learning about environmental issues than the Baby Boomers (33%). 
  • Limiting pollution in rivers is a higher concern for people in South America and Asia (80%) when compared to North America and Europe (68%).
  • When asked to rank who was most responsible for polluting rivers, people in Asia (42%) and those in South America (36%) felt that individuals were most at fault, while those in North America (41%) and Europe (42%) were most likely to select corporations. 
  • In terms of taking action, 75% of individuals from Asia have helped to clean their local river, compared to only 46% in South America, 27% in North America and just 18% in Europe. 

And More Urgent Action Is Required

While most survey respondents agree that some action is required, the findings show differing responses when it comes to how this problem is addressed:

  • 76% believe that human behavior is the biggest obstacle to reducing water pollution; 
  • 50% believe no one is protecting their local rivers;
    • With only 10% of participants strongly agreeing that their countries’ leaders care about the health of rivers;
  • 72% of people around the world would like stricter policies or more regulation to curb river pollution;
  • 88% believe there should be stronger legislation to prevent sewage drainage into rivers;
  • And 57% have little to no personal knowledge on how to clean up their local rivers

Despite these concerns, respondents shared a sense of hopefulness, and willingness to help, when it comes to cleaning these vital waterways. Fifty-nine percent of people around the world are planning to take action to help clean their rivers in 2024, they just need help getting started. 

Rivers are Life is the ideal platform that can provide education and solutions for those looking to get involved in addressing the issue and protecting our rivers. It aims to inspire people to protect, preserve, and explore our world’s rivers.
