Greg Tehvan is trying to reimage his hometown of Fargo, North Dakota. He describes Fargo as the last place someone visits when they try to visit every state in the United States. It is referred to as flyover country. For him, Fargo is a victim of Geographical bias or Geographical bullying. For example, if people say they are going to New York most of us might think they are going there to do business. If you are going to Los Angeles we might think you are joining the entertainment industry. If you are going to Silicon Vallery we might think you are joining a network of software engineers, but what if you are going to Fargo North Dakota?
Greg is working to flip this stereotype on its head. He and his team are working to create a place where people want to live. In this podcast, we hear from someone who loves his community and is using the power of ideas to celebrate and build the future of Fargo. Greg is a great mix of thoughtful, daring and disruptive. In this podcast, he talks about self-care and drones. Greg is wired awake by the question, what is Fargo’s moonshot? What can Fargo be world class at? Greg is a big dreamer and is not afraid to make big dreams a reality.
