Michael Shuman shared a great vision for how to use the Colorado Spring Public Market as a focal point and platform, with a community fund, here in southeastern Colorado.

I support Michael Shuman's work because I believe in his economic development strategy. Even though I am no longer employed in economic development, nor can I award grants to him, nor can he count on the royalties for the book we co-authored, I still support his work in the main street journal. His technical assistance, education and training, and mentorship are priceless.

The Main Street Journal is a wonderful resource developing local economies and filled with Michael Shuman's learning and insight. if you want to ‘walk the walk,’ or ‘put your money where your mouth is,’ read this!

Love Michael Shuman's books. I hope to start moving some retirement funds out of Wall Street this year. So much to learn and to share!

I learned of your book, Put Your Money Where Your Life Is, and read it cover to cover during the night last night. For the first time in two years, a glimmer of hope surfaced. I may be able to do something. I can stand up to it. I can say, ‘Not so fast,’ and with this help, I can do it nicely, with humanitarian purpose, with savvy. You offer muscle. There ARE ways to build resilience working with laws that work -- not against -- but for us, laws that let compassion flourish, loving kindness surface, and citizens support each other.
