I love this series from @EllenWolter - genuine conversations and learning alongside specific ideas for action! Great latest guests in Julie with Center for Rural Policy and @jakeloesch @CitizensLeague
Thank you @JakeLoesch and Julie Tesch for joining me to talk about how rural and urban areas can learn from each other to solve common issues - and the importance of breaking down the stereotypes about rural and urban spaces. Such a great conversation!

It is my deepest belief that it’s your duty as an American to just like Go To Stuff. Any stuff. Art fair. Food truck festival. Weird one woman show. Ice cream store. Minor league baseball. Movies. Community is an action! It’s something you have to do! Give it a whirl!
So proud of all this good work across Central MN by @ifoundmn and innumerable partners, leaders and friends!
New faces and new places. It’s just one way to characterize a momentum-filled year at the Initiative Foundation.
