About this listen

 The Rural Business Innovators Podcast is an educational podcast by the Iowa Small Business Development Center, interviewing rural entrepreneurs and Iowan innovators to effectively share their stories. In each episode, SBDC staff meet with a new small business in rural Iowa and ask them how they have navigated business ownership. You will hear how the business was formed, how it was funded, and how they are currently operating. Business owners will share the highs and lows of their journey and offer advice and wisdom to budding entrepreneurs.© 2024 Rural Business Innovators Podcast Economics Leadership Management & Leadership
