Ep. 103 Keeping Your Fire Lit in Your Small Town



Rebecca is flying solo today with a podcast version of a recent blog post that took on a life of its own, and talking about how to keep your fire lit while you’re trying to do big things in your small town—the stages you’ll go through, the people you need, and how to prevent burnout (or getting snuffed out!) along the way.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why burnout is a symptom but not a diagnosis, and why burnout may not actually be burnout, but more of a “snuffing out.”

  • What it looks like to be a firestarter

  • The stages of an idea, how certain stages are more vulnerable to that snuffing out

  • The different kinds of people that are key during each stage
