Hi. This is Adam Stultz, your host of Around Town Carroll County. The show about entrepreneurs doing wonderful things right here in our own county and how you too can start a thriving business, living out your own dream, instead of being paid to build someone else's.

Right now we are working hard to film our first 10 episode season.  We have a lot of wonderful guest, but more importantly, a lot of hard work to get done.  This show is not only a podcast, it will also be filmed like a television show.  So you can watch or listen and engage with us right on our website at https://www.aroundtowncc.com., watch on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and listen on Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast and a host of many more.

This show is a celebration of our community and a tip of the hat to some wonderful people making a huge impact right here where you live.  This show is also about bringing people back together.  Some of my guests have various political views, opinions and ideas of what's best. But at the end of the day, I hope everyone can see that by talking to people, asking questions and trying to understand someone else's point of view is not only advantageous to you but necessary for our survival.

Our community of Carroll County is special and I can only hope this show highlights just how special it is and why you too should start a business, family and future right here.

Our first episode drops on June 1st2021 and we will continue to release new episode every 2 weeks until our first 10 episode season is done.

If you find value in what we're doing here and value in the show, please be sure to support us through a donation at aroundtowncc.com and we can't thank you enough for your support.
