Thriving in a New Community
from On Location With Atomics Travels · host Shaun Thompson
Shaun Thompson drove six and a half hours from McComb, Mississippi to Atlanta for the Podcast Summit because she knew her community needed more than what they were getting. A Chicago transplant now deeply invested in her small town, Shaun is building a podcast and platform around the Macomb Mainstreet Association to bring grants, resources, and economic development information directly to the people who need it most. She sits down with Peuge to talk about what it means to be an outsider who chose to stay, why most people give up when searching for help, and how she plans to change that.

Shaun talks about what it looks like to transition from a major city to a small town, why breaking information down on a granular level changes everything for underserved communities, and what economic development actually looks like from the ground up.
