In this episode of I sit down with Richard Young, founder of CivicLex, an innovative organization based in Lexington, Kentucky, focused on improving civic engagement and strengthening local government responsiveness. CivicLex bridges the gap between citizens and local government, offering workshops, newsletters, and tools that make local governance more accessible and transparent. They are creating a more engaged, informed, and cohesive community.
We’ll get into the details of some of CivicLex’s projects, and their role in shaping community-wide conversations around critical issues like land use, public policy, and civic health. We’ll discuss how CivicLex led hundreds of conversations around Lexington’s comprehensive land use plan, gathering over 17,000 public responses, which influenced city planning decisions. We’ll talk civic literacy, building trust between citizens and government, and the vital role of responsive institutions in fostering a vibrant, engaged city.

What is Company Time?(@becca.farsace Leaves The Verge)
When I watched Becca Farsace’s first video as an independent creator talking about why she left her role at The Verge - it got me thinking about the overlap between personal brands built at a company, and a creator’s ability to own, leverage, and add to that personal brand.
In a world where we’re always on, always connected - what is company time? Would love to know your thoughts…..
( And @becca.farsace Becca, you were one of my favorite favorite creators at The Verge, and I know you're just going to crush it as an independent, and I'm looking forward to following you through that journey.)

In case you missed it, I had a wonderful conversation with Kristin Fahy about Professionaling and positioning yourself for that next big opportunity or career that maybe you didn't see coming. Here's a clip for those heading into the job market or those looking to change their current position.

Here's a short clip from the latest episode of Rust Belt Startup - Professionaling Is Hard with Kristin Fahy
In this conversation we’re going to talk about “Professionaling” - how you should think about exercising and developing particular skills to position you for success as a professional or position yourself for the next big opportunity.
We’ll also talk about the difference between being "ready to" and being "willing to", the process of writing and publishing her book (with a little help of The Tiny Book Course), and much much more.
