What unfolds is a masterclass in community building, modern entrepreneurship, and the power of showing up and serving others.

In this episode, Crystal River City Manager Audra Curts shares her deep experience in hurricane preparedness and disaster recovery, with a special focus on the unique challenges small cities face. Audra reflects on being hit by Hurricane Helene just two days into the job, followed by Hurricane Milton a week later, and the flooding of City Hall from Hurricane Idalia before her arrival.Audra draws from her past roles in city and school district leadership, including her time as CFO for Polk County schools during the 2004 hurricanes. She explains how storm recovery often requires cities to front costs long before FEMA or insurance funds arrive, making financial reserves and intergovernmental cooperation essential.From managing recovery for over 160 school sites to navigating citywide disaster impacts, Audra encourages proactive planning, strong departmental coordination, and the importance of having flexible funding options ready. Her insights offer a valuable blueprint for local governments preparing for and responding to major storms.

Last month, India's second largest automaker – Hyundai – went public. But this was not your run of the mill IPO. This was widely speculated to be the largest public listing ever seen in the Indian stock market. So there was naturally a lot of hype around it. But on October 17, just hours before Hyundai's public issue was set to close, most stock market circles across the country were stumped. There was a growing sense of disbelief. Panic even. Because only half of the nearly Rs 28,000 crore offer had been subscribed until then. This was a far cry from the 90 per cent threshold that had to be crossed. The IPO eventually had a pretty listless listing on October 22. Despite all that hype. Now naturally, that left a lot of people wondering what could have gone wrong? What prompted so many retail investors to keep away from the Hyundai IPO? Well, a lot of it had to do with what transpired in Rajkot in the run-up to issue. This isn't just about Hyundai. This small city in Gujarat has a big role to play in India's IPO market. Tune in. We are hosting our first live recording!

Darius Ornston is an associate professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto where he specializes in innovation policy, specifically the relationship between cooperation and economic change. His first book, When Small States Make Big Leaps, illustrates how the Nordic countries use cooperation to enter new, high-technology markets. In Good Governance Gone Bad, he demonstrates how the same, tight-knit networks which accelerate reform and restructuring can lead to policy overshooting, overinvestment, and economic crisis. Professor Ornston's work with Dan Breznitz on the politics of innovation and the design of innovation agencies has been published with multiple outlets, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the OECD. Since moving to Canada, Professor Ornston has focused on high-technology entrepreneurship in Ottawa, Waterloo, and Toronto.

This week we're featuring an interview that Bailey Van Tassel had on The Good Dirt Podcast. Enjoy listening from a new perspective as we dive into Bailey's foray into gardening. Bailey is an entrepreneur and mother of three, who created both the Kitchen Garden Society and the Garden Culture Podcast. She grew up on a hobby farm in Sebastopol, California, but didn't fully appreciate her cowboy parents until she moved away and missed the huge garden, chickens, and pigs that she grew up around. Settling into the suburbs of Southern California meant she couldn't have the same amount of space, but after a challenge from her husband Joe, Bailey went to Home Depot, bought some plants, got her HOA's permission after vowing to share her vegetables, and the rest was history. Bailey's life changed even more once she started to share her journey online, where her passion shifted from hobby to profession. In this episode, Emma and Mary sit down with Bailey to discuss her journey, the evolution of her gardening practices, and techniques such as planting by the moon and vermicomposting. After years of searching for the perfect land to have her farm and garden, Bailey realized that right where she was, was good enough. She wants you to know that you can grow the garden of your dreams in any amount of space – you just need the right info. And that's what she's here to teach you!

Last week, paramedics in Belleville, Ontario responded to 13 drug overdoses in a single hour. By the time the city declared a state of emergency two days later, the total had reached almost two dozen.So how did these near-simultaneous overdoses unfold? What caused them? And how can we stop the spikes of drug poisonings that have been happening in cities across Ontario?Dan Taekema is CBC's reporter covering eastern Ontario communities from Belleville, to Kingston, and beyond.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcriptsTranscripts of each episode will be made available by the next workday.
Today, The Two Mikes welcomed back Aaron Renn to the program after much too long of an absence.Mr. Renn is an author, a specialist on urban areas, big and small, as well as a devout and very knowledgeable Christian, who often writes about his faith.Today he described his experience in moving to and now living in Carmel, Indiana, which is a suburb on the northside of Indianapolis. Mr. Renn noted that the city's Republican mayor – James Brainard – recently retired after seven consecutive terms and left behind a jewel of a smaller city, one that has been voted the “internet's favorite small city.The city remains small – c, 100,000 people, but it is now a world class place in terms of employment, education, commerce, and livability. Much of the city features new buildings of all kinds, and new roads that make moving around the city easy at all times of the day. Carmel has shown the rest of America than genuine conservative governments can play a key role in the physical and attitudinal restoration, especially in making sure that thrift and commonsense permeate the rebuilding effort.Mr. Renn added that Indiana is a reliably conservative Republican state, and it also is a strong-Mayor state and so is well positioned to oversee the conduct of this Carmel-kind of successful urban reinvigoration. We also spoke shortly with Mr. Renn about a new book he has written. The Book is called, Life in a Negative World. Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture.The book will be published on 30 January 2024. Mr. Renn said the book is about the future of the Evangelical Church and what it must do to confront, survive, and thrive when most of the country's political and social elites reject Christ and desire all Americans to do so.Mr. Renn also writes that the church must especially work to support men and the key role the need to play -- in a traditional way – in defending family, country, and God. Mr. Renn's book is available now at Amazon for pre-order, and for sale on 30 January 2024SponsorsTriangle Fragrance: https://trianglefragrance.com/?sca_ref=4171318.dUndUHDKz3Cambridge Credit: https://www.cambridge-credit.org/twomikes/ EMP Shield: https://www.empshield.com/?coupon=twomikesOur Gold Guy: https://www.ourgoldguy.comwww.TwoMikes.us
