ABOUT

In an era of business that is dominated by multinational corporations and large chain retailers, there is a great loss—community. At Made in Mississippi, we believe the connection between community and commerce can be restored, one small business at a time.

By creating a culture of innovation, inclusion and creativity, we aim to provide a spirit of entrepreneurship and economic development in small towns throughout the state of Mississippi.

Since 2016, the Made In Mississippi Podcast has been telling the amazing stories of successful Mississippi entrepreneurs, business owners, and CEO’s. Today, the Made in Mississippi website is expanding to include all things that support small businesses and economic development in Mississippi. We will tell the story of Mississippi one entrepreneur at a time, one business at a time, and one community at a time.
