Each season, we're going to have a few episodes that directly address *your* small-town people problems. For our first one, we're starting off with a question from a listener about one of the most common difficulties in small towns: what to do when the neighboring towns treat each other as competition instead of working together. Sometimes we'll bring in a guest, sometimes it'll be a solocast with Rebecca like today's episode. Do you have your own small-town people challenge? Call in to the show and we'll address it on-air! 701-203-3337 In this episode, we cover: The three ways we see this competition show up most often Four mindset shifts to help address the problem  Links + Resources Mentioned: Episode 107 with Melissa Nelson: https://www.growingsmalltowns.org/post/episode107   Small-Town Shout-Out! There's something in the water in Vergas, Minnesota. A listener wrote in to tell us that Vergas is the kind of community where you can feel the community pride in every single business. They decided that, despite being a destination lake town, they wanted to be more than just a tourist town, so they focus on what it feels like to the people who live there every single day, too. Walk into any business on Main Street and you'll get the very felt sense that they want you there and you belong there. That's what it's all about! Big shout-out to Vergas, Minnesota! New Segment Alert! We think some of the best parts about radio shows and podcasts are listener call-ins, so we've decided to make those a part of the Growing Small Towns Podcast. We really, really want to hear from you! We're introducing two new parts to the show:  “Small town humblebrags”: Call in and tell us about something amazing you did in your small town so we can celebrate with you. No win is too small—we want to hear it all, and we will be excessively enthusiastic about whatever it is! You can call in for your friends, too, because giving shout-outs is one of our favorite things.  “Solving Your Small-Town People Challenges”: Have a tough issue in your community? We want to help. Call in and tell us about your problem, and we'll solve it on an episode of the podcast. Want to remain anonymous? Totally cool, we can be all secretive and stuff. We're suave like that.  If you've got a humblebrag or a tricky people problem, call 701-203-3337 and leave a message with the deets. We really can't wait to hear from you!  Get In Touch Have an idea for a future episode/guest, have feedback or a question, or just want to chat?

“A worldview that understands indigeneity is a paradigm of regeneration, a worldview rooted in enduring values in what we call our original instructions, common themes of reciprocity, of gratitude, of responsibility, of generosity, of forgiveness, of humility, of courage, of sacrifice, and of course love. But these values are not just words, we need to live them.” Melissa NelsonIn this conversation with Melissa, we explore various facets of what she summarises in the quote above. The original instructions of indigenous knowledge are rooted in a reciprocal and relational way of being in the world, an integration of knowing and loving. The creatures of the world, with the landscape and sky, are living records preserved in oral traditions, spoken by participating in rituals and stories. We discuss the consciousness prompted by creatures and places and how that varies between different peoples, across place and time. We look at the notion of the erotic and the role of human beings within the wider ecology, and also how a synthesis between modern scientific and indigenous ways of knowing might weave together to enrich our love and, therefore, being in the world.We talked everything from eagles and turtles to love and participation.Melissa K. Nelson is a Native ecologist, writer, media-maker and Indigenous scholar-activist. She is the President/CEO of The Cultural Conservancy, which she had directed since 1993.

In this inaugural episode of the limited series Knowledge Symbiosis: Can Biomimicry and Indigenous Science Harmonize?, Dayna Baumeister joins Melissa K. Nelson and Sara El-Sayed in a conversation exploring the common ground and mapping the divergences between Indigenous science and biomimicry. SERIES SYNOPSISBiomimicry, nature-inspired design, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), or Indigenous Knowledge Systems, both have roots in nature and a deep respect for natural processes. However, the two fields have different worldviews: biomimicry is oriented from a Western science perspective, while TEK emerges from Indigenous, spiritual, and cosmological worldviews. With a common source of inspiration, professionals in both fields recognize the potential for collaboration, yet no formal efforts or conversations in this realm have been published for a wide audience. This podcast series, Knowledge Symbiosis: Can Biomimicry and Indigenous Science Harmonize? invites dialogue from both perspectives—practitioners in biomimicry, and elders, practitioners, and Indigenous scholars—so we might better understand each other and explore opportunities to weave these learnings. Five episodes will be available on The Native Seed Pod and Learning From Nature:The Biomimicry Podcast for listeners to tune in and reflect.

This week on the hemp podcast, Lancaster Farming catches up with recent Cornell grad Owen Deitcher, who is on the road this summer to visit hemp farmers and processors around the country. The reason he's making this trip, he said, is to understand where the industry is at the moment, who the main players are and what challenges they face. Deitcher sees a disconnect in the minds of the public and wants to shed some light on the journey from hemp in the field to end-products. "We don't really know what goes on in the production and processing side,” he said. His first stop was in Murray, Kentucky, where Greg Wilson gave him a tour of the HempWood facility, which has grown substantially since Lancaster Farming visited HempWood two years ago on our National Hemp Tour. From Kentucky, Deitcher went to Texas where he attended a hempcrete workshop, then to South Bend Industrial Hemp in Kansas, where Melissa Nelson and the Baldwin brothers have created a strong local hemp supply chain and economy by building a hemp-processing facility. Heading west to Colorado, he spent time in Monte Vista, a regional hub of hemp innovation and processing power and home to hemp equipment manufacturer Formation Ag and Global Fiber Processing, a facility that went online in 2022. Lancaster Farming caught up with Deitcher while he was taking a break in Boulder, Colorado, before embarking soon for IND HEMP in Montana, then through the upper Midwest as he journeys eastward, eventually stopping at Steve Groff's Cedar Meadow Farm in Holtwood, Pennsylvania, sometime in August. Graduating with a master's degree in regional planning from Cornell, Deitcher is interested in renewable energy development, agrivoltaics, biofuels, circular economy, industrial hemp processing/end-use production, and agricultural supply chains. Also on this episode, we cover last week's launch of the Pennsylvania Hemp Engine and provide details on a few upcoming local and national hemp events in August.

We hope that recovery efforts bring comfort to those impacted by the storm, but as we've said before - hope requires more than empathetic emotions, it requires action. On this episode of the Freedom to Rise Podcast Bronwyn Beightol is joined by United Way of Florida CEO Melissa Nelson to discuss how United Way Suncoast, and all the local United Ways in Florida, will play a role in the mid-and-long term recovery of our communities.

Here we are, friends! We've reached the 100th episode! Like… HOW??! I wanted a special way to celebrate this milestone and polled the team. So for today's podcast, I have a mix of… How I got started and what I learned Top performers and hidden gems Future plans! Thank you, thank you, thank you, listeners. Not just for listening, but for your feedback, emails, and messages of support. I love getting messages about episodes that hit you in the feels! It keeps me going and I couldn't have reached this episode without your encouragement and support! Key Takeaways I was a fresh little green business owner in 2017: Never took a business class, and CERTAINLY didn't have a degree! I binged the Momentum podcast and loved the 10 minute action packed episodes. The algorithm pegged me and kept suggesting more and more valuable content. Seriously, so much of my business knowledge is from the School of Apple Podcasts! I ordered my podcast microphone a full year before my first episode! Most podcasts last only nine episodes! I went into this knowing the value of momentum and consistency. The name, the niche, the launch… That's just the foothills! I took Jenna Kutcher's podcast course and applied everything I learned to get started! I knew consistency would be important so I scheduled 2-3 months in advance to minimize summer recording. Summer is nuts around here! Find support! Honestly a podcast is a lot of work and I knew I wouldn't be able to do it all on my own! Consider hiring out for editing or marketing if it will keep you behind the microphone. Podcasting does NOT have a quick turnaround. Three months in, I had about 300 downloads a month. Six months in, I questioned whether I could keep going. My accountant gave good guidance. Maybe I couldn't trace my success exactly to my podcast, but it was a valuable investment in the know, like, trust strategy. It's an important lead generator and it's important to me to be of service to others. The last six months have had half of my lifetime downloads! It took 30 episodes to figure out my equipment and find my voice. Four of the top five episodes were from March 2022! Where are they now?  Callie Fitzgerald was riding the high of her first three months in business and is now offering amazing summer programming at Centrally Rooted in Dubuque, Iowa. She's added art, painting, and brought in teachers from all over the country. Her flagship curriculum, Mindful Musicians, will be offered in two area schools this fall! Lauren Welter's episode about mental health in small towns brought the most messages EVER. Many people praising the normalization of mental health and folks asking for Lauren's contact information. Other popular episodes included Let's Get Woo Woo, Melissa Nelson, and Do I Need a Business Coach? You guys. My worst podcasts were definitely my “Teen Years.” It was past the bubble of my friends listening to be nice but I hadn't quite caught on to a wider audience yet. Go back and give them a listen! I don't think I've “made it” to be at episode 100! I'm hanging on to be the cream that rises to the top. See you at 300! Molly Knuth Media and the Small Minded Podcast are going through exciting changes! We're morphing into a small business hub of resources and support! We might rebrand in the future, but we'll be here offering high value content week after week. Just in case she edits it out, a HUGE thank you to my podcast editing superwoman Miranda Ostwinkle. I seriously couldn't have done this without her! Follow for more Follow Molly Knuth Media on Instagram and Facebook Follow Small-Minded on Instagram and Facebook

Melissa Nelson, the new President and CEO of United Way of Florida joins us

Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is very rarely found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. Environmental scientist, advocate, and author Jessica Hernandez introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces and generates rather than destroys. In this episode, Dr. Hernandez is joined by Indigenous scholar and activist Melissa Nelson in a conversation exploring her latest book, Fresh Banana Leaves, and how to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands to restore our relationship with the Earth to one of harmony and respect. This episode was recorded during a live online event on February 10th, 2022. A transcript is available at ciispod.com. Many of the topics discussed on our podcast have the potential to bring up feelings and emotional responses. We hope that each episode provides opportunities for growth, and that our listeners will use them as a starting point for further introspection and growth. If you or someone you know is in need of mental health care and support, here are some resources to find immediate help and future healing: suicidepreventionlifeline.org sfsuicide.org ciis.edu/counseling-and-acupuncture-clinics

My friends, it's just me today in this week's episode, talking all about YOU. YOU can do big things in a small town.   I'm so excited for the upcoming series we're sharing in April. The round about way I found this story is typical of how things get done in small towns! So, my brother Will is a construction manager in Waterloo, Iowa, and connected me with TLC (aka The Learning Center) an AMAZING childcare center in Charles City, Iowa.    Pam Ost (who you'll meet in future episodes) saw a need in her community, had a vision for how to complete, found her people who could help, and connected her goals to the entire community.   No, I didn't set her up for this, but she happened to follow my blueprint for getting things DONE in a small town. Now Charles City has an amazing childcare center in the works in a renovated historic building.   Maybe you've been there. You've seen the cool old building in your downtown and thought “someone should really do something about that.”   YOU are that SOMEONE!   I'll share key takeaways from the episode below, but if you want to narrow it to one thing… “If we want really cool things in our small towns we have to be willing to do them.” - Melissa Nelson, Hungry Canyon Key Takeaways I share my blueprint for getting something to the finish line: Cast your vision, find your people, and connect our community. First, cast your vision! Thing globally and don't limit yourself! I mention an earlier episode with Callie Fitzgerald (one of our most downloaded to date!) where she was feeling conflicted imagining what is now Centrally Rooted. She sat down with a journal to sort out her thoughts and LITERALLY the NEXT DAY found the perfect building. DON'T limit yourself here! You can sort out budget and all that later. Dream BIG! THEN it's time to get serious. Seek out those people who can bring this vision to life. Me, I'm a good beginner. I'm not a details person. I'll make all the videos, do all the marketing, but cold calls for fundraising? No. Thank. You. Luckily there are folks who love behind the scenes work!  Every project needs leaders, doers, finish liners, and key partners. It's those finish liners who keep dreamers like me on track! Put a PLAN together and market, market, MARKET! Obviously marketing is my jam, but it is seriously so important in small towns. That old building is someone's precious memory! You need a community to support your big idea! Get them on board.   This episode is pretty short and sweet but it's leading up to a great series. Come on back next week!   There's not a guest this week but I mention Pam Ost and The Learning Center in Charles City, Iowa and the parallels to our childcare center here in Cascade, Aquin Little Angels.

CoffeeTalk is kicking off 2022 with a conversation about a new opportunity for many farmers across the U.S.! Melissa Nelson, crop scientist, owner of Performance Crop Research and co-owner of South Bend Industrial Hemp. In this episode we're talking entrepreneurship, diversifying the farm for profitability and breaking down the stigma barriers for a new crop opportunity! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/agisuretrack-coffee-talk/message

Melissa Nelson is a partner in South Bend Industrial Hemp in Kansas.   Melissa and her team are growing and processing industrial hemp into Shiv Hurd and Bast Fiber to support innovations in the building materials industry.  

"A worldview that understands indigeneity is a paradigm of regeneration, a worldview rooted in enduring values in what we call our original instructions, common themes of reciprocity, of gratitude, of responsibility, of generosity, of forgiveness, of humility, of courage, of sacrifice, and of course love. But these values are not just words, we need to live them." We're all indigenous to planet Earth, but we've not been acting that way. Cultural ecologist, indigenous scholar and activist Dr. Melissa K. Nelson reminds native and non-native peoples alike that we all need to re-indigenize ourselves by learning and practicing nature's operating instructions and the Original Instructions for how to be a human being. At this unprecedented moment of globalized environmental breakdown, it's going to take the best of Western science and the indigenous science of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to navigate this evolutionary keyhole.

Hey guys! I'm back. If this is your first time welcome, and if you're returning, welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the couple of re-release episodes over the holiday. Today's episode is with Melissa Nelson from Hungry Canyon. We are talking about how she got started, and about child farm safety. This is such an important conversation to have- and I'm SO glad I came across Melissa's "Wait for Me" line because it opened up this opportunity to HAVE this conversation with someone who is really invested into promoting that safety through creativity. I hope that you enjoy the episode, and that you get to learn about Melissa, can support her business, and learn a little about safety too.
