Transcript

In this podcast, we explore the nuances that rest beyond the stereotypes.

Rural Iowa is often misunderstood, seen potentially as a less innovative place than its urban counterparts. But, what I hope you’ll discover after listening to this series, is rural towns can thrive in the right conditions. In the trailer, you’ll have a preview of what’s to come this season.

You’ll hear from Jenna Ramsey, Stanton Community Development Director, Kevin Cabbage CEO of Farmers Mutual Telephone Company, Carroll Peterson, President of the Stanton Historical Society and Sheila Mainquist, Vice President of the Stanton Historical Society. You’ll also hear from entrepreneur Bryce Irlbeck and Kevin Kimle, the Rastetter Chair of Agricultural Entrepreneurship at Iowa State University, Director of the Start Something College of Agriculture and Life Sciences program, and Teaching Professor in the Department of Economics. Last, you’ll hear from Shelly Greving, Owner of Emerge Marketing Solutions.

I’d love to hear from you!
