Insight on Business

Economic Development in Snohomish, WA with Garry Clark

It's been a journey for Garry Clark. He didn't grow up in the best of circumstances but through hard work and an eye on success Garry moved on from "tough times" to a plum job as the Economic Alliance for Snohomish County and based in Everett. We caught up with Garry, who was headlining a recent League of Iowa Cities convention and talked with him about his life and what moves him to action. We clearly enjoyed getting to know this very bright and motivated man.  You can listen here.

The Okoboji Writers Retreat 2.0 with Julie Gammack

Last year when my friend, journalist and entrepreneur, Julie Gammack called to invite me to attend the Okoboji Writers Retreat I was happy to say "Yes!".

Now it's time for the Okoboji Writers Retreat 2.0 and it's a big deal.  Here Julie will explain what to expect and share details about some of the folks who will be attending.  And she leaves us with a tease of something else she is working on.  Listen in and consider joining us in September.
