Episode #3: From Econ Dev, to a Startup, and Back Again with Shad Burner

Episode #3 of the Econ Dev Show Podcast is now live.  In it, we talk to Shad Burner.

Shad made the jump from economic development at a chamber of commerce, to a startup tech company, and then back to economic development for the state of Missouri.

Along the way, he learned not only how to be entrepreneurial, but how talk to entrepreneurs in their own language. He understands what keeps them up at nights, what they care about, and most importantly what they don't care about at all.

Give it a listen.
