Join us and our guests Lisa Kivirist & John Ivanko Co-Authors of ECOpreneuring, Rural Renaissance, Edible Earth to learn how we can grow our own food and empower our local farmers, growers and markets to promote sustainable living. Lisa and John own a farm and B&B in Browntown, Wisconsin and will be sharing their life experiences with us of how they have transformed their lives to empowering a rural renaissance of the Earth. This dynamic couple presents a compact tool kit for a fresh approach to entrepreneurial thinking. Blending passion for the planet with small business pragmatics, ECOpreneuring smashes the stereotype that "doing good" and "running a business" are two different realms. It's an engaging show that will change the way you do business.
