Podcasts about business incubators

The owner of Goodlands Food Co, Anna Dausman, joined us to take a more in-depth look into her career and what ultimately led Anna to building a business based on hot sauces.  As a young girl, Anna already showed an entrepreneurial spirit--making her first attempt at a culinary career with a cake-baking business.  Although that initial concept did not pan out, she nevertheless pursued a career which created opportunities for others to build up themselves and their communities.  And as another opportunity knocked, Anna found herself drawn back to the culinary world while growing ghost peppers in her plot of land at her local community garden.  Soon she found herself making hot sauces that everyone loved, and Goodlands Food Co. was born!  Today, you can hear all about Anna's story and what she offers when you tune into the show...and then check out her website to find where her products are sold in your local area!https://goodlandsfood.coInspiration can strike at any point, and Diane Holtaway knows that more than most individuals who start a new business, so after years of helping others build and refine theirs, Diane set out to start a business of her own. Today, Diane owns Heirzoom Bakery which has been steadily growing since its inception.  Her concept was to offer authentic ethnic baked goods the way they were meant to be...meaning she uses natural, quality ingredients without all the chemicals and additives you'll find in store-bought brands and on the shelves of bakeries and/or the baked goods aisles.  Her biggest inspiration was her Aunt Betty, who made Kiffles (a popular Hungarian Pastry) for family gatherings and women's groups and never came back home with any leftovers. Inspired to share the love, Diane pays homage to both her Aunt Betty and the Kiffles via her hand-baked versions called Fennomes.  Today, you can taste those cookies (and more) when you order them online and have them shipped to your door, or by visiting her website!https://heirzoombakery.comfb: https://www.facebook.com/fennome/

In this episode Dane Carlson and Beka Shiver (Economic Development and Transportation Planner for the Southwest Georgia Regional Commission) delve into the grant application process for federal programs like the Economic Development Administration. They explore a range of projects, from critical infrastructure improvements to innovative business incubators. Shiver highlights the importance of patience and effective communication throughout the grant process. She notes that while federal funding may not be ideal for urgent needs, it plays a crucial role in supporting long-term community development, particularly in historically underserved rural areas. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Actionable Economic Development Insights Capitalize on every opportunity: Be proactive in networking by answering all phone calls, attending relevant meetings, and consistently distributing business cards. This approach can lead to unexpected partnerships and opportunities. Seek out multiple funding partners: Don't rely on a single source of funding. Combine resources from various entities such as county, city, and economic development commissions to create stronger, more competitive grant applications. Aim for higher matching contributions: While federal EDA grants typically require a 20% match, providing a higher match (e.g., 35%) can make your application stand out and increase chances of approval. Focus on regionalism and partnerships: Collaborate with multiple partners on singular projects. This approach not only strengthens applications but also fosters a spirit of regional cooperation. Be patient with the grant process: Understand that federal funding is designed for long-term community development, not immediate needs. Plan accordingly and manage expectations. Maintain consistent communication: Keep regular contact with funding agencies throughout the grant application and review process. This helps build relationships and keeps your project on their radar. Look for innovative solutions: Draw inspiration from historical necessity-driven innovations to solve current challenges in rural communities. Think creatively about how to address modern problems. Leverage STEM education initiatives: Use these programs as a foundation to build an ecosystem of innovators in the region. This can help create a skilled workforce and attract high-tech industries. Be a good steward of resources: Continuously look for ways to maximize the impact of available funds and talents. This includes finding creative ways to stretch budgets and leverage existing assets. Create an ecosystem for innovation: Focus on developing an environment that encourages people to try new ideas and approaches, even if they might fail. This can foster a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. Diversify economic base: Work towards having a variety of industries in the region, from agricultural to manufacturing. This creates a more resilient local economy that can weather sector-specific downturns. Leverage local strengths: Identify and utilize existing resources and industries (like major corporations or military bases) as anchors for further economic development. These can serve as the foundation for supply chains or complementary businesses. Plan for sustainability: Think beyond the initial grant cycle. Develop strategies to maintain momentum and progress after the initial funding ends, ensuring long-term impact. Focus on infrastructure improvements: Prioritize essential upgrades like wastewater systems, transportation networks, and broadband internet. These are often critical for attracting and retaining businesses. Be aware of funding limitations: Understand the competitive nature of grant funding and plan accordingly. Have backup plans and alternative funding sources in case primary grant applications are unsuccessful. Build long-term relationships: Instead of applying for grants year after year, focus on developing ongoing partnerships with funding agencies. This can lead to more consistent support and better alignment with agency goals. Consider industrial park development: Where appropriate, explore opportunities to create or expand industrial parks. These can serve as hubs for business attraction and expansion efforts. Embrace a long-term perspective: Recognize that significant economic development often takes years or even decades to fully manifest. Set realistic timelines and celebrate incremental progress along the way. Special Guest: Beka Shiver.

Research to protect California wine grapes from wildfire smoke. Sacramento business incubation program CLTRE Club. CapRadio lays off staff, cancels music programs amid financial issues. Fighting Smoke Tainted Wine As wildfire smoke becomes the norm in California, winemakers are having to deal with the impact the smoke has on their product.  Now, researchers at UC Davis are experimenting with ways to help protect wine grapes from the smell and taste of smoke, putting the state's multi-billion dollar industry at risk. CapRadio's Environment Reporter, Manola Secaira, joins Insight for the latest advances in technology to fight against smoke-tainted wine and the effort to keep the costs down. Plus, we'll get a virtual taste-test of what smoke-tainted wine really tastes like. Sacramento Business Incubator CLTRE Club Small businesses are core to the local economy. But it's not for the faint of heart. Getting a business off the ground and becoming successful can be tough to do alone, especially when taking on the added overhead of a storefront. A new nonprofit wants to make those hurdles less daunting for local entrepreneurs. Roshaun Davis, co-owner and founder of Unseen Heroes, discusses launching a sister non-profit CLTRE Club in midtown Sacramento, which is a business incubation pilot program and community space in partnership with the Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA).  CapRadio, NSPR Layoffs and Music Program Cancellations Last week, CapRadio laid off 12% of its staff and canceled four music shows due to ongoing financial issues.

It is late summer and your few hives are producing enough honey to help you and your family barely get by this winter. You are in charge of the entire honey process, and your potential customers are limited to the people in surrounding villages. Scarce economic opportunities is a reality for many in rural Armenian communities. These opportunities along Armenia's border frontier with Azerbaijan, are even more limited. Rather than raising money for these businesses once, we have implemented a sustainable model that provides continued business and positive economic growth for not only the beekeeper, but many families throughout the village. Learn more about bees, the honey process and our hives in rural Armenia with Der Mesrop and Yeretzkin Annie Ash. Ghoghanj Mosaic Wall:

What does it take to reinvent a community, revive a local economy, and reinvigorate a workforce? In this five-part Work in Progress podcast series – Destination Tulsa: Tech Hub in the Heartland – we look at how Tulsa, Oklahoma, is embracing in-demand tech industries to do just that. At the heart of the effort is a strong foundation of education, entrepreneurship, health care tech, energy tech, and cybersecurity. In the final episode of our Destination Tulsa: Tech Hub in the Heartland, we examine how Tulsa is attracting tech startups to the city, how it's encouraging homegrown talent to build their businesses in their community, and how it's retaining that talent to create a thriving and equitable economic base. On a recent visit to Tulsa, I stopped by 36 Degrees North, one of three downtown co-working spaces where entrepreneurs, innovators, and remote workers can come in and grab a table or a conference room, or network. One of those 36 Degrees North spaces – called the Business Incubator – is located in City Hall. You might consider it Ground Zero for Tulsa's tech reinvention. There I met two young tech startup founders, one from Norway and one a Tulsa native. I also talked with an entrepreneur who took Tulsa Remote up on its offer of cash to move there.  In this episode, you'll hear from: Martin Lien, founder and CEO of VOLT, who explains how he ended up in Tulsa from Norway and why he chose to stayAmbrose Midget, founder and CEO of Fresh Fabrics, on the support she's gotten from the tech community as she grows her new tech businessKian Kamas, executive director of Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity, on how growing strategically requires investing in public resourcesTyrance Billingsly, founder and executive director of Black Tech Street, on inspiring Black youth and showing them they have a future in tech in their hometownDustin Baker, founder and CEO of Baker Lewis, on why he took up the Tulsa Remote offer to relocate to the city and how it changed his businessJustin Harlan, managing director of Tulsa Remote, on how the pay-to-relocate initiative is changing the future of Tulsa You can listen to the full conversation here, or look for the Work in Progress podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
