Appalachia Meets World Episode 155 - ERC Fellow ”Spin and Chat” (in Appalachia) with George Williams

In this monthly Economic Recovery Corps (ERC) Fellow "Spin and Chat," Neil and Will sit down with George Williams - someone who calls overseas home just as much as the states and current Fellow in Cleveland Ohio.  Hear from George as he describes his role with the Fund for our Economic Future - a creative space for philanthropic funders and civic leaders to explore what matters and implement what works to achieve equitable economic growth, emphasizing systemic, long-term change.  He also speaks about the challenges not only in Northeast Ohio, but with the Fellowship as well as the best parts and the reason this work resonates so deeply with his secret to success.  "Oh, the places you'll go" - take a listen to George speak to his background, his travel desires and the real reason he chose the Host community in Cleveland - the empowerment of making an impact had something to do with it.  You might even hear about Will's "smelly" problem or Neil's solution to get rid of it - there's nuances involved here.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: R&R Fly Fishing!
