Matt understands the reality of the agricultural economy, the need for creative thinking for thriving rural communities and the grit it’s going to take to lead families, farms and businesses into the future.
As co-founder of Handlebend, he creates exquisite copper mugs from City of O'Neill, Nebraska, his hometown of about 3,700 people, and ships them — in authentic wooden crates — worldwide.
In this episode, he discusses his ag background and full-time job, the balance of starting a business and raising a family and his take on the stories that need to be shared from rural areas across the country.
Dr. Connie, RFI Chief Futurist, is energized by Matt’s call-to-action around female workforce potential, embracing Handlebend’s digital presence and his leadership style that starts with empowering and listening to others.
Matt is also a graduate of Nebraska College of Business, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska!"
Thanks Rural Futures!
