The “Returner” phenomenon is a very real thing: people leave their small towns as young people and come back later when they're ready to settle down, and there is a huge opportunity for both the returners and the small towns they're coming back to–but we're not always open to these boomerangs. This episode is about inviting people back, creating spaces, and growing as communities so they everyone is thriving. We think you'll love it! About Jessica: Originally from Winner, SD (pop. 2,852), Jessica Meyers was raised in Winner and Vermillion, SD, and earned her bachelor's degree at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Jessica and her husband Matt followed the flight pattern of many young adults and left the small towns of SD for bigger cities. After 10 years of living in some of the largest cities in America, she now lives in Sioux Falls with her family. Pairing over 20 years of sales and recruiting experience, Jessica discovered a unique opportunity for the Midwest. She is co-founder and CEO of PorchLight, a talent recruitment firm that partners with rural communities to prepare for the 21st-century workforce and connect rural workers to employment opportunities. Jessica created the first-of-its-kind PorchLight Certification and created the platform where rural development and job opportunities connect. Personally, Jessica has been married for over 20 years to her high school sweetheart Matt, and they have three daughters, Eve, Grace, and Juliet, who live in Sioux Falls, SD. In this episode, we cover: What is a returner? A different approach to thinking about housing (hint: it's not just workforce housing we need to consider) Why “People don't want to work anymore” is a myth Why remote work *works* for small communities What every single one of us can do to support our community's small businesses Links + Resources Mentioned: PorchLight's Website: https://porchlight-services.com/   Small-Town Shout-Out! This shout-out was blatantly stolen from the webinar with Saveyour.town, and in the chat, Jamie Shanks from Glendive shared an idea inspired by a Reimaginig Rural Event: They've recently formed a group focused on action vs meetings, and they call themselves the “VigiPlantes.” Their efforts are centered around planting new ideas, community beautification, planting actual trees and plants, and sometimes doing things in the wee hours so people in their community wake up to a surprise. Can you even?! Snaps to Jamie, Glendive, and the VigiPlanties for this very stealable, very amazing idea. 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.

Many cities need more urban housing with Mobile, Alabama certainly being one of them. It's hard to find, though, and where you do find neighborhoods and houses many of them are blighted and unsuited for living. Porchlight is changing that. By carefully identifying properties, doing the often cumbersome work of locating property owners and then building homes that match the design and spirit of the neighborhood, Porchlight is returning streets and neighborhoods to their bygone thriving days. John Ruzic leads the initiative. Working from within Rogers & Willard construction, John knocks on many doors, makes hundreds of calls, and works to get the many stakeholders on board for the revitalization. And John foresees the day when urban centers across the southeast seek out his team's model and guidance to solve their own urban residential challenges.  Brought to you by the Gen Savvy Communications Academy.  Got someone who needs their story told?

Imagine a world where compassion is the norm. This is the world I'm trying to build with my work. In this final Hot Take episode of 2024, I talk about the importance of humanity, compassion, and empathy in all aspects of our lives and businesses and remembering those things that matter most as we go into 2025. With clear statistics from the 2024 Businesssolver State of Workplace Empathy report showing increased loneliness, toxic workplaces, and higher mental health challenges, it's key that we fight against these negative trends by embracing our values, modeling them, celebrating them, and rewarding them in whatever sphere of influence we have. We fight by disproving the false belief that you can't be empathetic and successful or impactful at the same time. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Business is just another way we humans interact with one another. We should be able to be whole people wherever we are in the world. However, we move about it, and with whomever we choose to interact. We cannot “go gentle into that goodnight,” as poet Dylan Thomas once wrote. Human connection, empathy, and compassion are worth fighting for. Embracing empathy is how we will change the cultures of toxic workplaces and improve mental health."I invite you to be part of turning the tide - speak out, and model empathy and compassion whether you're with your kids, on social media, stuck in traffic, or, yes, at a budget meeting at work." — Maria Ross Episode References: Get a volume discount on multiple copies of The Empathy Dilemma for employees, Colleagues, partners, clients, or customers: Check out both Book Passage and Porchlight Books at www.TheEmpathyDilemma.com.

In this episode, Billy sits down with Bob Burg, author of a wealth of successful books on sales, marketing, and influence. Of his books, he calls one the cornerstone of his life's work: Adversaries into Allies: Master the Art of Ultimate Influence. They explore the themes he outlined in this insightful book, in addition to Bob's primary framework: the Five Principles of Influence. If you've ever wanted to have more influence without resorting to manipulation, this conversation will guide you in the right direction.   Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years, he's helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams communicate their value more effectively, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. Bob has regularly addressed audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today's top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes, and political leaders, including a former United States President. Although he was best known for his book Endless Referrals for years, it's his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann), that's captured the imagination of his readers. The Go-Giver, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, makes up over a million of Bob's 2 million total book sales. Since its release, it has consistently stayed in the Top 25 on Porchlight's (formerly 800-CEO-READ) Business Book Bestsellers List. The book has been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine's list of the Most Motivational Books Ever Written and HubSpot's 20 Most Highly-Rated Sales Books of All Time. Tune in to hear Billy talk with Bob, who's been named one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders by The American Management Association, and named one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World by Richtopia. What we discussed with Bob: [01:53] – About Bob's dad Mike Burg [02:53] – What ultimate influence means to Bob [04:25] – Who is a genuine influencer [07:16] – The life lesson he learned from his cat, Liberty [10:40] – Basic principle of human nature [13:12] – How he developed his ideas and thoughts [17:43] – The relationship between self-control and character of a person [19:23] – What can we do to control our emotions? [23:30] – Why are clashes of beliefs so critical to an influencer? [26:25] – Setting the proper frame to get desired results Valuable Insights by Bob: Influence is the ability to move a person to the desired action. Great influencers don't try to push their ideas to others. Great influencers attract people. If we want people to take action to go towards the desired outcome, it has to align with what they want. Their values and their goals have to align. Only when you're the boss of yourself, then you're in the position to take a potentially negative situation and turn it into a win. Make sure that you're the master of your emotions as opposed to your emotions being your master. Notable Quotes: [02:14] – “Tact is the language of strength.” [05:15] – “People do things for their reasons, not our reasons.” [15:54] – “By all means take your emotions along for the ride but make sure you're driving the car.” [17:02] – “Self-control is the very essence of the character.” More from Bob: Bob Burg's Books: The Go-Giver Influencer The Go-Giver A Teacher's Guide to The Go-Giver The Go-Giver Leader Adversaries into Allies Go-Givers Sell More Endless Referrals The Success Formula Bob's Website: https://burg.com/ Connect with Bob on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/burgbob https://twitter.com/bobburg https://www.youtube.com/user/burgcommunications https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobburg/ This is an encore episode and was originally published on August 12, 2021.

Step into the multiverse of Zack Bolotin, owner-operator of Porchlight Coffee & Records on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Not just a cafe, Porchlight is a platform for Zack's varied talents, including graphic design, photography, art curation, book publishing and online retailing. It's also a record label. Listen as Zack describes how his endeavors, admittedly wide-ranging, are anchored in his family's history and an affection for old things. He shares how he incorporated his parents' memorabilia collection into Porchlight's publication "62 Souvenirs: Keepsakes from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair." Zack also recounts his discovery of mid-century architectural photography by Art Hupy published in “Pacific Architect & Builder,” a defunct trade journal produced by Zack's grandfather Roscoe Laing. Reminiscent to Zack of Julius Shulman's contemporaneous work in Southern California, he restored and published a selection of Hupy's photos as "Art Hupy: Architecture and Life in the Pacific Northwest" in collaboration with Docomomo US/WEWA. Accompanying Zack's inspiring stories are songs from an assortment of Porchlight Records' labelmates, among them his collaborative project, Pretty Old, whose tracks blend ruminations on remote motels, fictions by Raymond Carver and memories of roadside attractions. A self-taught entrepreneur, Zack chose to keep his business small, sustainable and anchored in community. His maverick spirit—casual, classically Pacific Northwest—affirms that a livelihood can be both purposeful and expansive. These lighthearted stories uphold Zack's city as a place of goodness. "As much as a city is made by people; it's made by the buildings and businesses that come and go as well; you can't advocate for every single building to stay where it is. You have to pick and choose. There's a balance between preservation and new buildings. That's how it always has been.” ~ Zack Bolotin

In this episode, Billy sits down with Bob Burg, author of a wealth of successful books on sales, marketing, and influence. Of his books, he calls one the cornerstone of his life's work: Adversaries into Allies: Master the Art of Ultimate Influence. They explore the themes he outlined in this insightful book, in addition to Bob's primary framework: the Five Principles of Influence. If you've ever wanted to have more influence without resorting to manipulation, this conversation will guide you in the right direction.   Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years, he's helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams communicate their value more effectively, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. Bob has regularly addressed audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today's top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes, and political leaders, including a former United States President. Although he was best known for his book Endless Referrals for years, it's his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann), that's captured the imagination of his readers. The Go-Giver, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, makes up over a million of Bob's 2 million total book sales. Since its release, it has consistently stayed in the Top 25 on Porchlight's (formerly 800-CEO-READ) Business Book Bestsellers List. The book has been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine's list of the Most Motivational Books Ever Written and HubSpot's 20 Most Highly-Rated Sales Books of All Time. Tune in to hear Billy talk with Bob, who's been named one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders by The American Management Association, and named one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World by Richtopia. What we discussed with Bob: [01:53] – About Bob's dad Mike Burg [02:53] – What ultimate influence means to Bob [04:25] – Who is a genuine influencer [07:16] – The life lesson he learned from his cat, Liberty [10:40] – Basic principle of human nature [13:12] – How he developed his ideas and thoughts [17:43] – The relationship between self-control and character of a person [19:23] – What can we do to control our emotions? [23:30] – Why are clashes of beliefs so critical to an influencer? [26:25] – Setting the proper frame to get desired results Valuable Insights by Bob: Influence is the ability to move a person to the desired action. Great influencers don't try to push their ideas to others. Great influencers attract people. If we want people to take action to go towards the desired outcome, it has to align with what they want. Their values and their goals have to align. As human beings, one of the driving forces within us is freedom, making decisions for our lives. Only when you're the boss of yourself, then you're in the position to take a potentially negative situation and turn it into a win. Make sure that you're the master of your emotions as opposed to your emotions being your master. Notable Quotes: [02:14] – “Tact is the language of strength.” [05:15] – “People do things for their reasons, not our reasons.” [15:54] – “By all means take your emotions along for the ride but make sure you're driving the car.” [17:02] – “Self-control is the very essence of the character.” More from Bob: Bob Burg's Books: The Go-Giver Influencer The Go-Giver A Teacher's Guide to The Go-Giver The Go-Giver Leader Adversaries into Allies Go-Givers Sell More Endless Referrals The Success Formula Bob's Website: https://burg.com/ Connect with Bob on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/burgbob https://twitter.com/bobburg https://www.youtube.com/user/burgcommunications https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobburg/ Learn more about your ad choices.
