Today we’re with Mike McCartney, director of the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce for a second time. We’re talking about all things economic development, starting with the revitalization efforts that helped pave the way for the Pioneer Woman Mercantile and the tourism rush that followed, plus business incubators, people moving in from out of state, finding workers and housing to accommodate growth, and what happens when everybody says ‘somebody should do that’… and how that somebody is you. You will learn so much from this conversation, and you’ll love that Mike is living his dream, as well as his passion to continue to push the vision forward in Pawhuska. If you find yourself in Pawhuska, stop by the Chamber and say hi to Mike and Reba! They’ll be glad to welcome you to town! If this conversation gets you excited, you should seriously consider joining our Cultivate community. Inside the group we have conversations a lot like this one! Cultivate provides the community, tools, resources, action steps, and network you need to take your revitalization efforts to the next level and keep gaining momentum. There are lots of perks for joining this group, and I’ll just let you know, this is where I share my best ideas! For the month of September you can come join our Cultivate community for FREE to see what it’s all about. Find all the details at ruralrevival.co/cultivate, and use code CULTIVATEFREE (all one word) for your free access. I hope to see you in the group!
