What can you do in the Brag Basket?

  • share some great news from this week
  • congratulate a friend
  • applaud for each other
  • confess your undying love for rural places

Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    Hello all! I am a former bi-vocational pastor and general contractor. Today I host the Small Business Revival Podcast. I love small business and the creativity of small business owners. I am working on a project to feature 10 businesses in a local (Staunton, Va) downtown over two weeks on my podcast. I believe this will be a great way to build the community. Keep up the great work Becky. I love this blog.

      Hey, Brian! Great to see you today. This is a terrific idea to feature you local businesses. That will really shine a spotlight on your town, and it might even spark a few conversations between businesses. Smart!

    I have been rolling this idea around myself recently. I know nothing about pod casting but do have a wonderful friend who can make it happen. What a Great way to showcase local business and sources for local products. I would love to hear any tips, tricks, sound advice or input into how to make this successful. Thanks.
