Whenever I find local (relatively speaking) podcasts, I am typically VERY forgiving about lack of production quality. This is not needed with this podcast.

Thank you so much for telling these stories - I will GLADLY recommend this to anyone interested in podcasts!
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.

It’s incredible to see a project shining light on entrepreneurship in Appalachia! Well done! Wonderful quality, great conversations, everything I enjoy about podcasts!
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!
