So today I'm really excited to welcome a special guest to the show, Greg Teveen. He works with Emerging Prairie, which is a local group in Fargo, North Dakota. So Greg, first, I'd want to give

you a quick chance to kind of introduce yourself and your background and kind of what emerging prairie is.

Yeah, well, thanks so much for having me here today.

Like you said, my name is Greg.

I'm a fifth generation North Dakota, so I grew up in between Harwood and Prosper, North Dakota on a family farm.

Didn't really get into family farming at all.

My brother did.

My dad, my grandpa. We were a big John Deere family.

Controversy when mom and dad met, mom came from another tractor company that was red. So we don't talk about that in our family anymore.

So I grew up on a family farm, loved North Dakota, went to the University of Minnesota, did a startup there, and then moved back to Fargo.

Moved back to Fargo to work for Doug Bergham and the Kilburn Group thought I'd go to grad school

and I fell in love with this city, the energy, the innovation, the community.

And I kind of felt like moving back, I was 26 years old, that it was an open canvas.

There was so much built up energy and innovation happening.

I just felt like the future was going to be really exciting. So I decided to call this place

home. I love it. It's fantastic and it's an honor to live here.
