55. Mark Nolte

The Iowa Idea: Mark Nolte

“It mattered to that one.”

In this episode of The Iowa Idea Podcast, I sit down Mark Nolte. Mark is a lifelong Iowan who feels indebted to this state and has spent his professional life trying to help strengthen and grow the economy through entrepreneurship. He and his wife Leslie have five children. Mark is considering a run for Governor as an Independent in 2022 to bring Iowans back together and solving problems with common sense.

Mark and I discuss his journey into economic development. We dig into the need for more collaborative ways to address the complex, or wicked, problems that may be preventing our communities and state from being the best they can be.

It was an honor having Mark join me on the show. Mark was a big help when I launched my company and incredibly supportive of me as I started this podcast. I really appreciated his stories and perspectives. I thank Mark for sharing his time and insights. I hope you enjoy the episode.
