Bethany Owen is navigating what many call an "impossible path."

As the CEO of ALLETE, she is leading a legacy energy giant through a once-in-a-generation transition. She is balancing the immediate demands of regional affordability with the long-term mandate of a clean energy future.

This isn't just about utilities. It’s about Regional Infrastructure.

In episode 5 of FORWARD Presented by Story North, Bethany shares how she is creating a culture of "Sustainability in Action" - a framework that prioritizes the stewardship of our communities for the next hundred years.

Her challenge to the Northland is clear: We must welcome the investment and innovation required to lift all boats.

This is FORWARD.

Most rural communities are stuck in a "scarcity trap" - waiting for a massive grant or a state-level savior that never arrives.
​
Shawn Herhusky calls this the "Doom Loop."

As one of the architects behind Revive Virginia, Shawn has proven that the antidote to regional decline isn't more money; it’s action.
​
He understands that housing, workforce, and culture aren't separate problems—they are one complex system.

His core insight? Action is the antidote to anxiety.
​
By reframing rural identity as a badge of honor rather than "urban missing stuff," he is architecting a new paradigm for the Iron Range.

This is FORWARD.
