About this listen

Turning Local Voices Into Lasting Conversations At Conversation Mill, we believe powerful change begins at the community level. Each episode dives into the heart of local culture, economy, and innovation, highlighting small business owners, creatives, and everyday changemakers who are shaping the world right where they are. We embrace diversity—of opinion, of experience, and of background—because we know we all learn and relate best through sharing stories. We support local economies by amplifying voices that keep dollars, food, and jobs in the neighborhoods that need them most. We cultivate healthy ecosystems for culture, entrepreneurs, and community building—because thriving local systems build resilient futures. Whether you’re tuning in from the Upstate of South Carolina (our home base) or beyond, you’ll find inspiration, connection, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to invest in the people around you.Conversation Mill Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • Black History Is American History
    May 19 2025

    Today, we’re walking the streets of one of America’s fastest-growing and most recognized small cities—but we’re doing so with intention. Our guide is Kendra Williams, a South Carolina native, Greenville resident, and dedicated tourism professional who’s on a mission to ensure that the city’s Black history—American history—is seen, heard, and never forgotten.

    While Greenville has a rich and complex Civil Rights legacy, much of it has been overlooked or left untold. Kendra is helping to change that. Through her work, she’s shining a light on the stories, landmarks, and lives that have shaped this city—stories of resilience, resistance, and community that deserve a permanent place in Greenville’s narrative.

    Whether you're a local, a visitor, or someone who believes that history must include every voice—this conversation will open your eyes to the past and challenge you to see your city through a new lens.

    Let’s walk together.

  • Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
    May 12 2025

    In this bonus episode, we’re taking a ride—literally and figuratively—into a global movement that’s as stylish as it is meaningful. We’re talking about The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, a worldwide charity event where classic and vintage-style motorcycle enthusiasts suit up, saddle up, and ride out to raise awareness and funds for men’s health—specifically prostate cancer research and mental health initiatives through Movember.

    This episode isn’t just about motorcycles, tweed jackets, or polished boots—it’s about the power of community, the importance of showing up, and how one ride can ripple out into real, lasting impact. Whether you’re a rider, a supporter, or simply curious about how dapper style meets purpose, you’re in the right place.

    So polish that helmet, straighten that bowtie, and join me as we dive into the story behind The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride—what it stands for, how it started, and the passionate people who keep its engine running.
