This episode of Talk Fiber to Me, Baby is a rally cry for rural revival.

You’ll hear about lawnmower telehealth, pie-in-the-sky dreams that are now policy, and the very real economic firepower brewing in northeast Louisiana.Whether you’re a city official, a contractor, or an entrepreneur with big ideas in a small town, this episode is proof that the future belongs to the bold.#WeAreEPC #LouisianaJobs #TalkFiberToMe #EconomicGrowth
