In this episode Dane Carlson talks with Jon Roberts of TIP Strategies about his new book, The Cost of Cool: Austin's Tech Growth and the People Left Behind, and what Austin's rise can teach economic developers everywhere. They discuss how Austin became a tech and talent magnet, why that growth created real pressure around equity, housing, and displacement, and whether tech growth inevitably widens community divides. Jon also explains why entrepreneurial ecosystems need more than enthusiasm, why universities and major companies matter, how communities like Green Bay and Racine County, Wisconsin are building on their own assets, and why economic developers need to think about AI, quantum computing, bioengineering, and the next wave of technology without forgetting the people who may be left behind. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Treat equity as a front-end strategy, not a cleanup project. If tech growth is coming, plan for housing, displacement, affordability, and access before the growth accelerates. Be honest about the tradeoffs of tech growth. Jon argues that more tech investment has historically been linked with greater inequity, so economic developers should discuss that risk openly instead of assuming growth automatically benefits everyone. Do not build an entrepreneurial strategy around vibes alone. Incubators and startup events help, but the conversation emphasized the importance of real links to research, tech transfer, and major corporate activity. Know the assets you actually have. Green Bay's example shows that communities can build from distinctive local strengths, including major institutions or brands, instead of trying to copy Austin or Silicon Valley. Create tight relationships with universities and companies, even if they are not in your backyard. Physical proximity may help, but the more important issue is whether the connection is real, active, and tied to specific development opportunities. Use major projects as platforms, not endpoints. A data center complex, corporate investment, or innovation park should raise the question: "What turns this into something more?" Protect vulnerable neighborhoods before market pressure arrives. Once high-income workers begin bidding up undervalued neighborhoods, the available responses become more limited. Understand that "cool" is hard to manufacture. Austin's music, counterculture, local institutions, and "Keep Austin Weird" identity became part of its attraction, but they were not simply chamber-of-commerce slogans. Keep a long view on technology. AI matters, but Jon cautions economic developers not to treat it as the final technological shift. Quantum computing, bioengineering, and other changes may be next. Make the uncomfortable conversations part of the work. Questions about displacement, inequality, tech disruption, and who benefits from growth may not have easy answers, but avoiding them makes communities less prepared. Special Guest: Jon Roberts.

Last day in the 20's for awhile! Looking at temps in the 40's all next week. We started the morning with news about a cell phone ban in classrooms in Wisconsin, a Racine County day care worker who was recently arrested on child porn charges, one of the passengers on that plane that crashed in Toronto reacting to Delta's offer of $30,000, and are DOGE dividend checks coming?

The Badgers play tomorrow at home against Oregon, and the USA blew it last night in overtime to Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Elsewhere in sports, check out the video of the chancellor at UNC announcing that classes are canceled tomorrow because of the weather. Safe to say the kids were in favor of that decision. Also, did you see the video of former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe getting carried out of a council meeting in LA? Wild scene. We let you know what's on TV and in theaters this weekend, and Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen. There's a really cool organization that set up a summer camp for kids who were affected by the wildfires in LA. Stanley is suing Stanley. Nathan's is trying to sell New York City tap water so you can boil your hot dogs in it, and after the murder of that healthcare CEO in NYC…there's an app where you can order an armed guard to protect you. Did you see this story about a "Stonehenge" at the bottom of Lake Michigan? And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman fighting with her HOA to keep her emotional support chickens, an Amazon driver that ran over a woman with his van and then drove off, a family is fighting back against the city government that's trying to get them to take down their Halloween decorations, a Wingstop employee who threw Ranch & hot grease on a customer, and a #FloridaMan decided to help an alligator that had a football stuck in it's mouth.

Pictured: Racine County farmer Kevin Malchine The Environmental Protection Agency has finalized its Herbicide Strategy. This is the plan the agency will use to decide if any restrictions should be added to product labels when registering or renewing an herbicide. These restrictions are “mitigation measures” to stop spray drift or erosion. The farmer would have to do these things in order to use the product. This strategy is how the EPA will comply with the Endangered Species Act and protect about 900 species on the list. Farm groups say that this final strategy is an improved version of what the EPA was working on earlier this year, but there are still issues with the final draft. Kevin Malchine farms about 2,000 acres in Racine County. He also sits on the Growmark Board. He's been vocal about this strategy, even signing a letter to the EPA saying the framework was not a good idea. He tells us how Wisconsin growers may be impacted at the farm level. Kevin advises farmers to stay aware of this new regulation and stay up to date on the products they're using to make sure they stay compliant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Based on her injuries, she'd suffered years of abuse and had been killed within 24 hours of being placed in the field. In the decades that followed, law enforcement agencies used every resource at their disposal in an effort to not only identify the victim, but also hone in on her killer.
