Here are some reasons why Duane would like to interview people from around the county.  Getting to know the people behind the business sign, organization, service agency, school, farm, and other entities in your county is crucial for several reasons:

1. Community Connection: Understanding the individuals behind local entities fosters a sense of community. 

2. Supporting Local: Knowing the people behind local businesses, organizations, and farms allows community members to make informed choices that support local initiatives. This, in turn, contributes to the overall economic health and sustainability of the community.

3. Building Trust: Personal connections build trust. When you know the faces and stories behind businesses, organizations, and services, it creates a foundation of trust, making people more likely to engage and collaborate.

4. Collaboration Opportunities: Personal relationships can lead to collaboration and synergy. Understanding the goals and values of different entities in your county opens up possibilities for joint efforts, partnerships, and community initiatives.

5. Celebrating Diversity: Learning about the people behind various entities highlights the diversity within the community. Celebrating this diversity fosters inclusivity and an appreciation for the unique contributions of each individual and organization.

6. Local Impact Awareness: Knowing the people behind the local businesses, service agencies, schools, and farms allows residents to better understand the direct impact these entities have on the community, including job creation, educational opportunities, and support services.

7. Inspiration and Role Models: Personal stories can be inspirational. Learning about the challenges, triumphs, and journeys of individuals in your county can serve as motivation and provide local role models for aspiring entrepreneurs, students, and community leaders.

10. Strengthening Resilience: Knowing your community members builds resilience. In times of challenges or emergencies, a tightly-knit community is better equipped to support and uplift each other.

Why Duane wants to share businesses stories.

It is a conversation, not an intaragation.  Getting to know the people behind the sign allows a personal connection. In essence, getting to know the people behind the entities in your county is about building a strong, interconnected community that thrives on collaboration, trust, and shared values. It enhances the overall well-being and vibrancy of the community.
