248: The Secret Sauce of Small Town Success: Leadership, Community, and Showing Up with Liesl Seabert

What actually makes a small town thrive?

Hint: it's not population size, location, or luck.

It's leadership.

In this episode of The Found Podcast, Molly sits down with Liesel Seabert of the University of Northern Iowa Institute for Decision Making to talk about the real, often overlooked work behind strong communities and why leadership development might be the most important investment we're not talking about enough.

From moving to Iowa without knowing a single person to becoming one of the most connected leaders in the state, Liesel shares how showing up, building relationships, and embracing discomfort shaped her path and how those same principles can transform any community.

If you've ever wondered how to make a bigger impact where you live, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what's possible.

What You'll Hear in This Episode
  • Why leadership—not location—is the true driver of thriving communities
  • How to build connection when you're new (and know no one)
  • The "domino effect" that helps small towns gain momentum
  • Why starting small is the key to long-term success
  • The real reason volunteer burnout happens and how to prevent it
  • How to plug into Iowa's hidden network of resources and support
  • Why the next generation of leaders might be the most important investment we make
