Conversations Across Dakota

<p>What started out as random discussions, turned into Tuesday morning coffee, and now a podcast. Jake Lindgren (financial advisor at Edward Jones), Craig Lee (photographer and owner of Craig Lee Studios) and Dr. Josh Carr (chiropractor at Carr Chiropractic Clinic) have decided to turn our conversations into a podcast in order for others to listen.As you will hear in our first podcast episode, the title has two meanings. The first brings our famed Dakota Avenue into the mix due to Jake and Craig’s businesses being on opposite sides of Dakota. The second is in reference to our future discussions with leaders across our wonderful state of South Dakota.Now, I am sure you are wondering what the three of us are going to talk about. It’s not going to be related to financial advice, your next photography session, or going to see a chiropractor. We challenge each other to expand our mindset and yours to become a better person than you were yesterday, a week ago, a month ago or a year ago.We know there are many successful individuals in Huron and in South Dakota that we want to bring front and center to give insights to our listeners. We hope these insights inspire listeners to achieve their own success. Remember, success is not always tied to money, it can have many aspects including more time with family, being a better husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister, or volunteering in the community. Whatever you define as success we hope this podcast helps listeners along their path. The frequency and format of the podcast will be a bimonthly episode. One of the episodes will feature the three of us discussing a topic or question and the other episode will feature a special guest. </p>
