\"Donna<\/a><\/dt>\n
Donna Maria says you should make a list of all the reasons why you can’t, then set that list aside and start working on how you can. (And yes, we shot the interview right after Christmas.)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donna Maria saw a recent news story with yet another negative view of rural that stopped just short of the solutions.\u00a0She mentioned it to me<\/a>, we talked, and we both knew this conversation deserved to be shared. So she and I are talking about taking charge of your future, finding solutions to the common small town problems, and setting aside that list of reasons why you can’t.<\/p>\n

You can also watch a video of our interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why this podcast exists<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re “just a business owner” or “just” someone in a small town, you often feel like you’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
