Appalachia Meets World Episode 139 - International Economic Development (in Appalachia) with Nathan Ohle

In this episode Neil and Will sit down with an expert in international connection and well-being, Nathan Ohle, the President and CEO of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).  He gives his thoughts on the impacts of economic development in general, but also describes what it means to be an economic developer.  He also goes a little deeper on the newly formed Economic Recovery Corps and the transformational impact it could have across the country.  Take a listen as he explains the paradigm shift that has occurred in this field of work.  You might even hear Neil's pick on the Super Bowl and why appreciates Michigan State fans (and other fans), as long as they are true fans.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week: SOAR Innovation 2024 Pitch Competition Finalists!
