How to Make Small Towns Attractive Places to Live, Work, and Play | Scott Lingle and Justin Clements
On today's show I sat down with Scott Lingle and Justin Clements, co-founders of Remodel Health and entrepreneurs, about their efforts to revitalize small towns in Indiana. Scott and Justin share their passion for investing in their respective communities of Danville and Martinsville, including current projects like opening a high-end restaurant in Danville and developing career training programs in Martinsville. They highlight the importance of making small towns attractive places to live and visit, leveraging their business acumen, and fostering local entrepreneurship. They also touch on the legacy and impact of historical figures like Doc Merritt and Coach John Wooden in Martinsville, showing how these past influences continue to inspire current revitalization efforts.
