It’s awesome to see someone tap into the Appalachian startups, an area which I have yet to see anyone do. It’s great that someone is giving these startups (and existing businesses) a platform for some insight on their specific business. I specifically enjoyed the conversation with Appalachian Cannabis Company!
LOCAL. AUTHENTIC. APPALACHIAN.

In a state with so many negatives, this podcast shines light upon the hardworking dreamers who are refreshing and encouraging. JD has an uplifting positive vibe about Appalachian culture and the creative people who live there.
SO REFRESHING

Free insight into what it takes to create and maintain a business in WV. I enjoy the back stories on businesses I visit. I don’t have a business, but the first episode couple was a hoot! And I’d just attended a wedding DJ’d by the subject of the second podcast. Looking forward to the next one!
REFRESHING AND FUN!

Finally, someone did it. A podcast that will highlight not only the achievements, but the struggles of small biz start up in Appalachia. We started the first Airbnb in our Southwest VA coal county, so we understand the lows and highs when you decide to take that plunge into Appy small biz ownership. So excited to follow this podcast journey!
