Dec 5, 2022

Happy December! Today we’ve got a solocast and it’s all about what holds small towns back. There are five things, and Rebecca is here to talk through all of them.  

 

So what are those five things that hold small towns back?

• Constraint-led thinking
• Underestimating the cost of doing nothing
• Treating today’s decisions as if they’re only about us
• An unwillingness to right-size ideas
• Accepting sliding standards
