Becky and Franne discuss variations of the green eyed monster, laying out the differences and ways for you to deal.
A lot goes into starting a new business — that isn't a surprise to anyone. What did come as a surprise to owners Brodie and Carly was how much they learned along the way — about each other, their staff, and — most importantly — themselves. Join them, along with special guest host Rebecca Undem, as they navigate through their first official month in downtown Aberdeen and welcome you home to their own rural revolution.

We've missed you! And it's a historic day — we're kicking off the Rural Revolution Roadtrip!

The moms are in the studio this week! That's right — with The Market on the Plaza just a week away from opening, Brodie's and Carly's moms are in the Hub City to help with the finishing touches! Take a stroll down memory lane with Sue and Nancy — if you've ever wondered why the hosts are the way they are, you're about to find out.
She weaves words of wisdom, advocates for adventure, encourages everyone, and cheers for change (and she'll smother you with hugs if you let her). Rebecca Undem is back in the Hub City to share more on how she's Growing Small Towns one rural revolution at a time.
Join Brodie and Carly as they look back on 29 episodes of the Rural Revolution! They're joined by Nicole Heinz, social media and operations manager "and everything" at the Market on the Plaza, and Megan Rosendahl, producer of the Rural Revolution, to really talk shop — favorite episodes, a little self-reflection, how big of a nerd Brodie is, and even a peek at upcoming ideas that could involve YOU joining the revolution.
Andrew Carnegie once said, "A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert." Cara Perrion knows this all too well while working at the K.O. Lee Aberdeen Public Library. She's an ambassador for knowledge, a discoverer of change, and the self-described "chattiest librarian you'll ever meet." And she's in the middle of a rural library revolution to create a Third Space for everyone.
