There is so much to dig into in this episode!  Matt is a Churchill Fellow having travelled the northern hemisphere to regional communities who had brought themselves back from the brink.  He calls Beechworth home and started the Asutralian Centre for Regional Entrepreneurship or ACRE to support communities across australia.  We discuss how communities can buyback community assets, how we can all agree that we want opportunities for our kids to prosper in place, and MAtt shared a quote I’m bound to use again - that we have to stop expecting the regions to make strawberry jam out of horse manure!  We’ll definitely be getting Matt back, so here’s his first instalment!Thanks for listening to another episode of Big Fish, Little Place - a podcast by The Connection Table. We hope by sharing this story today that you feel inspired to go big, from your small place, or support those doing so!To find out more about The Connection Table’s mission to get more rural Australians a seat at the decision making table, head to our website www.theconnectiontable.com
