DESCRIPTION
A presentation that entails my discoveries throughout Eastern, KY and Berea, KY about the impact social media can have on small-businesses. Also, I reveal a number of insights gained about the Appalachian region as my colleagues and I worked on the promotion and certification of Trail Towns throughout the eight Kentucky River Area Development District. I weave in my personal growths, memories, and future plans as I reflected on how the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program has impacted my way of thinking and my view of the Appalachian region.TRANSCRIPT
