RuralBusinessHQ.com is now RuralBusiness.com.
We recently purchased the new domain so rural business professionals can more easily find this content catered just for them.
Additionally, the publications boasts a revised logo, and we’re ramping up production of The Rural Business Show podcast. Each episode features a conversation with a rural business professional, who offers perspective on finding success in a rural economy.
Behind the scenes, NVC Media is weaving together an important audience of rural business owners and managers throughout the United States. Social media outreach and direct calls to rural businesses are expanding our reach. Followers, subscribers and podcast downloads are increasing daily.
The latest episode is a conversation with one of the founders of Rethinking Rural, Madeline Moore. Her organization is a network of engaged millennials working on rural issues at a national scale.
In 2018, Rethinking Rural hosted a symposium with 50 rural millenials to discuss how to improve their communities. Three more symposiums are planned over the next three years. In the interview, Moore discusses why she returned to her hometown so quickly after college, when the common advice was to find success in a bigger city somewhere else. She talks about a changing mindset in some rural communities and how rural young people can live and work successfully in small towns. She reflects on a business she started after returning home, what she learned through that experience. Then the interview turns to Rethinking Rural and the organization’s goals as it connects rural millennials throughout the U.S.
Upcoming episodes include an interview with a successful cheese factory owner in Wisconsin, a one-person organic farm operation in Minnesota, and the positive and negative impacts large-scale festivals have on local economies is rural communities.
We are receiving a lot of positive feedback from the rural business community and organizations that serve them. We’re excited about what the future holds as we serve this important audience.
