We were both glad to find another small town tech geek! We reconnected recently around Scott&#8217;s blog, Digital Homesteading, and his podcast there. I realized we shared a lot of the same views on small towns. Positive views, of course. Scott was caring for his brand new daughter Amelia during our interview, so we&#8217;ll consider this her podcast debut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this podcast exists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re &#8220;just a business owner&#8221; or &#8220;just&#8221; someone in a small town, you often feel like you&#8217;re the only one. Either the only one with a positive outlook or the only one who is trying to create change. The whole point of this podcast is to bring all of us together. You are not alone.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve started interviewing people who share my positive view of rural. After Mike, I have two sessions recorded with Deb Brown, of The Tour of Empty Buildings fame.<\/p>\n<p>To keep this going, I need to know who you think I should talk to. Who else shares a positive view of rural? You? A friend? Someone you know?
