It's such a dynamic region and there is so much opportunity here. So that's how I got here, and I love being here…but so many people were not born here. So many people have come from different parts of Arkansas and around the country. It's just wonderful. Truly, the land of opportunity is in Northwest Arkansas.” - Ramsay Ball, (5:02)“...you mix artists, you mix tech people, tech people from different companies,all. Everyone will go to a show, enjoy music, enjoy food, and it creates an opportunity for breaking down barriers, whatever barriers might be there. We often say culture and colors–between different cultures and different colored people, we have a lot of diversity [in Bentonville], and then companies, confluence of companies or people with companies to come together. And we heard that–I heard that–and I was thinking ‘Aha!', this makes sense, and there's an economic reason to do it also. So that was really the beginning of the thought process of Grey Space Collective.” - Ramsay Ball, (18:33)“Impact investment has been an investment thesis for our group and I call it profit with a purpose…I'm a big believer that there are opportunities in impact investment to potentially beat a market return…So that's a focus that we have is to hopefully demonstrate that you can do really good things and make above market return on your investments.” - Ramsay Ball, (22:39) “I've heard [the Greater Bentonville Area] described in many ways, but the difference here is the culture. I noticed that when I moved up here. That's what really sucked me in back in the day, was the opportunity and how things were merit-based…It's progressive and so many people that come here feel that same spirit.” - Ramsay Ball, (29:28)“The strategic leadership [in Bentonville] is so good. The mindset of the people here is so good. It's very practical in ways, but very accepting of new ideas and thought processes. It's unique, but there's a certain magic here.” - Ramsay Ball, (31:42)

And what it means is over the next decade or so, more and more people will have the opportunity to choose where they want to live and where they want to work and not have those two decisions to be completely tied to each other…And a lot of those people are going to choose places that are optimizing for quality of life.” - Phil Libin, (6:39)“We want people to think that you don't have to give up anything. We don't have to give up much because the perception in the past is…we get a slightly better quality of life, but we're probably giving up some food and some culture and other things. And we're saying, no, all of it can be better. Obviously, everything has some trade offs, but you don't have to make any of those big sacrifices to go to a place that's meant to be a great place to live.” - Phil Libin, (9:54)“Bentoville is Japan style food, meaning it's authentic Japanese food, but the important thing is not that it's ingredients from Japan or even strict dishes, we're not trying to make an American's idea of a Japanese restaurant, we're trying to make a cool restaurant in Japan.” - Phil Libin, (13:31)“One of my board members said this quote that really stuck with me. She said, ‘What's the difference between belonging to something and just being invited?' And she said you can only belong to something that you help create, so if you want to have a feeling of belonging, you have to help create it. You can't belong to something that you were a passive participant in…And so we're really reaching out to the community, to people and to businesses because we want to be in that co-creation process.” - Phil Libin, (19:04)“Everyone shows up [to Bentonville] without much expectation, and then everyone leaves blown away by how cool it is and how liveable it's been.” - Phil Libin, (23:05)

We have businesses and residents living on every edge of the campus and it's a unique open environment. And so you want to be very much thoughtful about how you positively impact the community as a whole.” - Cindi Marsiglio, (10:52)“...even more important than that, for me, is Bentonville's evolution to becoming a much more broad, evolving, thoughtfully inclusive community so that people who visit here or choose to build a life and have a family or have a career here, it's a journey that we're on together. And I can play my own unique role, my family can play a unique role. But I think we can all find a place inside the community to be additive to that.

So we have an awful lot of people working at those folks and living in Bella Vista. And the trails have had an effect of making Bella Vista a bit younger, too…We have a vibrant trails community. And to have a lot of different outdoor activities, whether on purpose or just developed that way, we've become quite an outdoor recreational area and Bella Vista has certainly got a lot of outdoor recreational opportunities.” - Mayor Flynn, (16:48)“[Bella Vista] is very welcoming and I feel like it's a special place.

We know what we want, and our team embraces that. Our family embraces that. We work harder now…it allows us to fulfill a certain level of obligation that we now have with our community, the Latino community specifically, to empower them and let them know that we're here and that we can do a lot of things if we do it from the heart.” - Chef Rafael Rios, (11:24)“[Family] matters to what I consider a vital element to a healthy community. So what is it that you are truly doing with your business, and how is it seen by the community? Is it a sustainable business? But the most important thing is the added value to a meal and how it connects with the soil and Northwest Arkansas…everything is tied up to an experience at the end of the day. So we focus on what the experience is going to be.” - Chef Rafael Rios, (18:21)“There is love for community, which is one of the biggest things that drove me to live [in Bentonville]. There is kindness throughout. There are opportunities…Living in Bentonville is a culmination of what our story was initially intended to be. We were looking for a place where we can be ourselves and we can be happy, a place where we can have opportunities to grow. Our kids can have good schools to go to, and the overall quality of life is amazing…So the overall thing is happiness. Happiness is what brings people to Bentonville.” - Chef Rafael Rios, (30:01)

Businesses in the ski towns of Ohakune and National Park say recent snowfalls have been a lifesaver - they've gone from worrying about going under, to being busier than last year, and they're stoked about it. Ruapehu Alpine Lifts which ran the Whakapapa and Turoa ski areas, went into liquidation in June, owing tens of millions of dollars, after a two bids to buy the ski areas failed. The government stepped in just before the July school holidays, with a five-million-dollar loan to the liquidators to allow the season to go ahead, but negotiations about who will ultimately own the two ski areas continue. Central North Island iwi Ngati Tuwharetoa has reportedly confirmed it is also now in the bidding to buy RAL and is conducting due diligence. A decision on the ski fields' long-term future could be months away. Meanwhile the snow's been falling and visitors have been pouring in. Susie speaks with Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton, and James Bell, a bootfitter with TCB ski rentals in Ohakune.
