The path to becoming a pioneer is rarely a straight line and in Northeast Indiana, that’s exactly what makes the stories worth telling. We’re also hearing from you, “Whatever happened to this person or where are they now?”
That’s why we’re launching a new series on the Pioneer Starts Here platform: The Pioneer Path with Brice.
This ongoing series is designed to take a closer look at the people who are creating their own paths across our region. Led by Brice Vance, copywriter and brand strategist at NEI, The Pioneer Path highlights individuals at every stage of their journey, including those just getting started and those who have been paving the way for years.
We’ll release the series later this summer, and it is intended to be a spotlight that dives deeper into the stories behind the people. These features will build on past Pioneer Starts Here blogs, podcasts, and videos, while also introducing new voices and fresh perspectives from across Northeast Indiana.
You’ll hear from Pioneers who helped shape our region, NEI stakeholders and team members, and others whose stories deserve the spotlight. The series builds on the style of our previous Pioneer videos, with a more collaborative, approachable format designed to be shared whether that’s on social media, in your inbox, or on PioneerStartsHere.com.
Northeast Indiana is full of people making their own trails, and The Pioneer Path is about celebrating them—introducing you to some for the first time and checking back in with others you may already know.
