Main Street Moxie: Stories from small-town founders and entrepreneurs told by students and faculty at Franklin College

Welcome to a new podcast called Main Street Moxie. Starting with the spring 2024 semester, the students in Franklin College's 100-level entrepreneurship class will find people in small towns who have started a business and record a short podcast with them. Students will ask about the founder’s background, why they decided to start a business, what it’s been like to start a new venture in a small town or far-flung area. 

Main Street Moxie's name is a nod to both the small-towns and places we'll be exploring, and the gumption and gusto it takes to start something new.

These recordings are made possible by the Engaged Learning team at Franklin College, which includes the offices of career and professional development, global education, the Center for Tech Innovation, and the Kite Shop, our little entrepreneurship program. You can learn more about these programs at FranklinCollege.edu, at theKiteShopFC.com, and you can send ideas, feedback, and questions to thekiteshop@franklincollege.edu.
