The Rural Towns Project Podcast
In the Rural Towns Project Podcast, Dax Jacobson combines his day job as a business professor with his love for the rural American West he grew up in. He talks to the people who are actually trying to make a living in - and to the researchers, artists, and others inspired by - the rural towns of the American West. He hopes to help himself and others understand the past, appreciate the present, and positively impact the future of rural towns and the American West.

Inkom, Idaho: Lindi Jo Howell on Rural Entrepreneurship, and the Inkom Revitalization Commission
In this episode, I talk to Lindi Jo Howell, an entrepreneur in the small rural town of Inkom, Idaho. Lindi has started multiple small businesses. She is a grassroots community developer, and an avid skier and outdoorswoman. Lindi and I talk about being an entrepreneur and business owner in rural Inkom, including why she came back home, why she stays, and work/life balance. We talk about her starting the Inkom Revitalization Commission and the work that organization is doing. We talk about the challenges and opportunities that are part of life for businesses in a rural community and we end, as always, with the Road Trip Music Question.
