# 62 A Realistic Approach to Your Next Facility Project ft. John Sun, CEO of Blueprint
Description
Facilities planning isn’t just a real estate decision — it’s a strategic leadership moment that shapes a school’s long-term viability, culture, and stability.
In this episode, Daniel sits down with John Sun, CEO of Blueprint (formerly Pacific Charter School Development) — a nonprofit facility solutions partner that has supported charter schools for over 20 years. John brings deep experience in helping charter leaders navigate financing, real estate development, and the decision-making required to secure sustainable school homes.
From incubating in shared spaces to sequencing financing across growth stages, John outlines a clear, grounded framework for leaders who want to move from “dream building” to viable facility strategy — without losing sight of mission, culture, or financial health.
Whether you're in year zero planning mode, thinking about scale, or facing tough space constraints, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and next steps.
