  <description>In this episode of the Econ Dev Show (a replay from EDO Breakthrough Podcast episode #10 (https://edobreakthrough.buzzsprout.com/2360993/episodes/16158566-e10-expediting-the-rfi-process-with-dane-carlson)), Sandy Dubay interviews Dane Carlson about his entrepreneurial journey in economic development. Dane shares the deeply personal story behind starting his podcast during COVID while his son underwent cancer treatment, his initial nervousness about hearing his own voice, and his strategy of cold-contacting newly certified economic developers for guests. The conversation explores the challenges economic developers face with changing leadership and boards, before diving into Dane's innovative solution: Sitehunt, (https://sitehunt.io) an AI-powered platform that transforms how economic developers respond to RFIs by automatically matching community assets with project requirements and generating detailed responses in minutes rather than days.
