Small Town Wealth
20 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 4 years ago -The world is changing... this is obvious. With higher concentrations of people in big cities, and the steeper competition and higher real estate prices that go along with this, smaller cities and towns naturally lose attention. It's time to reclaim that attention.
There is untapped beauty in smaller populations. Small town voices will now come to the forefront, allowing us to gain perspective and emotional intelligence in the process. From business and community leaders to entrepreneurs to health experts and beyond, this guest centred conversational hub is here to represent the big lives outside the big cities... because the size of your city is not a measure of the size of your heart.
This podcast is hosted by Shelby Bouchard & David Scarlatescu.
Produced by Clinton Barton.
