How do you reinvigorate the economy of a rust belt city? Our guests
on this week's show are working both at the grass roots and civic
levels to rebuild the economies of their mid-sized cities.
Ron Kitchens
is the CEO of Southwest Michigan First, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to being a catalyst for success in Kalamazoo,
Michigan. Ron joins us to tell us about incubating new companies in
this economy and how smaller businesses can thrive when large
corporations fail.
Eric Mathews is the founder of Launch Memphis, an organization that
nurtures technology startups in Memphis. We'll talk to Eric about how
technology can help seed an entrepreneurial community and be used to
bring entrepreneurs together.
