Donna Maria Johnson makes a return visit to our podcast, to share her story. She connects independent businesses like soap makers, cosmetics makers, etc., with each other. Her Indie Biz Network offers benefits like access to product liability insurance, training, and mentoring.
Donna Maria lives in a smallish city and grew up spending summers on the farm with her sharecropper grandparents. Her strong work ethic and no excuses approach are part of her heritage. She tells us what wealth means to her, and how that’s different in a rural area than when she lived in an urban area.
To kick off our second season of A Positive View of Rural, Donna Maria tells her story with a healthy dose of pragmatic sense.
Highlights:

- The value of resourceful rural grandparents
- The bedrock principles that Donna Maria learned from days with no electricity and no running water
- What makes her go “Wow!”
