    Episode 33: Business Lessons from Henry David Thoreau—Walden For Hire with Author Ken Lizotte

    On today’s episode of Notable New England, I’m sitting down with author Ken Lizotte to talk about his new book Walden For Hire: Business Lessons From Henry David Thoreau and a side of Henry David Thoreau that doesn’t get discussed very often. Most of us learned about Thoreau through Walden, his writing, and his connection to nature. But, Ken tells us about the hidden business lessons we can learn from Thoreau and about his entrepreneurial side. It opens up an interesting conversation about creativity, independence, and what it means to build a life and career that actually fits who you are. Ken lives in Concord and is the President Emeritus of the Board of Trustees for the Henry David Thoreau Farm. We get into what we can take from Thoreau’s way of thinking. Whether you’re an artist, small business owner, writer, teacher, or just someone trying to do meaningful work, I think this episode will resonate with you. 📌 Show Notes & Resources: 🔹 Episode Sources, References & Featured Links 🔹 Music licensing & credits 💙 Support Notable New England: Join our Notable New England Patreon community for a dedicated space to connect, explore New England history, hidden gems, and local stories without the distractions of traditional social media!
