"Our goal is to keep jobs that are there, and that helps in the communities I'm working with, because we're bringing outside money that comes into the community. They buy things like food and lodging and those things, and, and leave their money there to go to shops and buy things, et cetera, and then they leave. But they help those jobs and businesses stay in business."

Welcome to EP10 of the Business and Bytes Podcast, where today's episode features an enriching discussion with George Sharp from the Thurston EDC.

We're set to explore the dual narrative of George's life as a community builder and economic driver for small towns, as well as his personal tale of resilience and positivity in the face of a challenging kidney health journey. George Sharp utilizes his extensive experience in entrepreneurship and economic development to revitalize communities, orchestrating events and initiatives that not only showcase the charm of small towns but also stimulate local business growth.

Despite his own health obstacles, including navigating the intricacies of dialysis and the kidney transplant list, George maintains a powerful positive mental attitude that inspires all those around him. In addition to George's story, we will also discuss key learnings from our recent conference attendance, including the "profit first" approach and cybersecurity tips vital for today's businesses.

Join hosts John Hansman and Emelio Mejia for a moving and motivational episode that merges profound personal insight with actionable business wisdom.
