This podcast is not about any of those people. This podcast is the internet version of the stories of the families that got into a covered wagon to find a better life for their family. It's about thousands of visionaries that took a risk and started a small ISP, in your home down, in your state. It's about the people who's hearts filled with dread every time an AOL CD showed up in the mail and who fought the phone company to be treated as an equal and get the phone lines they needed to grow.

You will hear about every day people who believed the Internet was going to change the world and who risked everything to bring it to their local communities while Silicon Valley was oblivious to the technology that was already transforming the tech landscape.
