We all know about TED Talks and how wildly popular and cool they are. But, what about a TEDx event in RURAL AMERICA? Can you even?
We can’t, either, but Jeremy Ratliff could. This is an episode about audacious ideas, small towns getting it done, unexpected support, and dreaming big.
About Jeremy:
I grew up in the Midwest and graduated college from North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My first radio job was at WTMJ in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have worked with Cox Media Group since 2007, when I joined the WOKV news team in Jacksonville, Florida. During my radio career, I have been a producer, news anchor, host, Assistant News Director and Program Director. I have been on-air on multiple stations for years. I have lived in six different states, including here in North Dakota of course, where I have lived since November of 2020. I also host the Rendezvous Region Today podcast, which shares local stories here in northeast North Dakota. I have an amazing wife, two fantastic daughters, a dog and an outdoor cat.
In this episode, we cover:
How Jeremy even arrived in Cavalier, ND, and how his work has thrived since moving here
How the TEDxCavalier event was born
What moments he most remembers from the day
Why you should never discount local support
The value of surrounding yourself with positive problem-solvers
