Welcome to Monopolies Killed My Hometown. In this episode I share the path that led me to identify that Monopolies and Corporate Consolidation is the root cause behind the decline in my hometown of Amherst, NS. I moved away in 1999 after graduating from High School. I moved back to Amherst in 2015. Amherst appeared similar to the Town I grew up in, but they felt different. What happened? Monopolies.

I founded the Center for Small Town Success to learn more about the impact of Monopolies on small towns. I want to bring power back to small towns, and to people , so they can have control over their future again.
