One of the most common dilemmas facing small-town industries and local economies today is how to reinvent themselves when a foundation piece of the community collapses. In this episode of Winning the Public Purse, David Kincade sits down with Brian Williams, the President of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, who shares his fascinating transition from a 30-year career in the intense BC lumber industry to becoming a driving force for economic development and grant funding in the Pacific Northwest. Today we look at where you should start in terms of recognizing local business barriers, how a physical poster on a wall sparked a journey into advanced grant writing that led to securing funding for 18 local workers and Indigenous entrepreneurs, and so much more. If you are trying to break into government funding, navigate large-scale procurement, or find practical ways to stabilize and scale a local workforce during a major economic shift, Brian's experience and what he reveals in this conversation will offer a straightforward, real-world blueprint for what to do next. Ready to transform grant writing into a predictable pillar of your success? David's students have already won over $61M in funding using the frameworks taught in the Advanced Grant Writing Course, and the next online class is coming September 24th, 2026.
