SHOW NOTESKEY IDEAS: I have been borrowing the entrepreneurial expertise of Don Macke ever since I started this show back in 2014.  Back then Don was the president of The Center For Rural Entrepreneurship.  Don and his partner have since changed names to E2 Entrepreneurial Ecosystems but their mission stays the same - reinvigorating rural communities through entrepreneurship. This is right where Don's mission and the mission of the Off-Farm Income Podcast collide.  We both have our own reasons that we we want to see rural communities thrive, but we both want to see them thrive.So, I was overdue to have Don on the show as a guest, and today I finally made it happen.  We will discuss the following topics about rural entrepreneurship on today's episode:Success Stories: how they did itEntrepreneurship Education: when should students start learning about entrepreneurshipCrime: how crime can creep in when businesses leaveTrade Schools: the unintended consequences for rural communitiesLifestyle: the contrast between urban centers and rural communitiesClass Divisions: why they are less visible or important in rural communitiesAnd much, much more....CONTACT INFORMATION:Website: LINKEmail: don@e2mail.orgWhere Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald Can Be Heard:Member Of The National Association Of Farm Broadcasters
