The ideas that Rebecca talks about, and the guests are great and really inspiring. However, when it comes to guests, I find she really cuts off and cuts short her guests. They have so much interesting stuff to talk about but then she cuts them off with her own input that sometimes takes a lot away from their conversation.
Love what Rebecca and co. are doing in North Dakota. Wisdom and ideas for every town!
I really like the show and want to be a fan, but degrading people based on age, gender, etc makes it less effective.
Isn’t that great is the best answer I have heard to all the Debbie downers, when it comes to saving old buildings!! Need to save our history and yes it cost 💲 but once it’s gone it’s never coming back!!
So many great ideas for small towns no matter what size your town is! I share with our leaders with our small town all the time!
