Erika Flowers, the Chief Client Officer at Profitable Ideas Exchange (PIE), shares her journey from growing up in Montana and falling in love with cross-country skiing to racing professionally both in the U.S. and internationally. She reflects on how her passion for skiing helped her build strong friendships, instilled resilience, and taught her goal-setting, all skills she later found invaluable in her corporate career. Erika discusses the understated power of bringing your outside interests, or "Ands," into the workplace, believing these passions make people more human and effective in business. She explains how PIE's culture thrives by embracing diverse backgrounds and putting people first, aligning with their B Corp values. Erika encourages listeners to recognize the unique value of their outside passions and to seek out workplaces that truly support "living your best life." She closes by crediting her ongoing love for cross country skiing and trail running as continual sources of strength and inspiration both personally and professionally. Episode Highlights · Erika Flowers explains that her initial involvement in skiing was about making friends, but it soon evolved into a passion and a core part of her life. · She highlights how the discipline, teamwork, goal-setting, and resilience developed through cross country skiing directly translate into valuable skills for her career and business, not just for athletes but for anyone with an outside interest or hobby. · Erika Flowers stresses that sharing personal interests at work enhances authenticity, relatability, and connection with colleagues, ultimately making teams stronger. · She describes how by PIE putting people first and becoming a B Corp all supports a healthy, human-centered environment that benefits both employees and clients. · Erika Flowers encourages listeners not to shy away from their hobbies or "Ands," even if they feel niche or irrelevant, because these interests are a source of genuine connection and distinct human value in any professional setting.

From striped bass policy to black bear hunting, Fred Bird breaks down this week's biggest wins for America's sportsmen. New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte officially joins the Governor's Sportsmen's Caucus, continuing the state's long tradition of leadership in defending hunting and angling heritage. Fred also spotlights CSF's new Rocky Mountain States Coordinator, Nate Serlin, and his role working with the Legislative Sportsmen's Caucuses in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming. On the fisheries front, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission decides to maintain striped bass regulations, averting unnecessary closures for thousands of saltwater anglers. Down south, Florida's outdoor community celebrates major conservation wins, from saving the Rodman Reservoir bass fishery to reinstating a science-based black bear hunt. Fred also covers how the U.S. Senate voted to uphold science-based wildlife management, defeating an anti-hunting proposal targeting owl conservation, and explains why access without habitat is meaningless for hunters and trappers nationwide. If you care about how policy affects the woods, waters, and wildlife you love, this is your weekly must-listen briefing from the front lines of conservation.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Description:In this episode of the LIFTS Podcast, host Emily Freeman talks with Pam Ponich, Perinatal Program Manager for One Health, about an innovative program changing the face of perinatal support in Montana — the Peer Recovery Doula certification.Pam, a longtime psychotherapist and program developer, helped create this dual certification for Certified Behavioral Health Peer Support Specialists and Full Spectrum Doulas. The program recognizes the powerful overlap between peer support and birth work — both rooted in trust, lived experience, and standing beside rather than above the person being served.Together, Emily and Pam discuss how this work helps fill critical workforce gaps in rural and frontier areas, reduces stigma, and offers a more compassionate, coordinated approach to supporting families — especially those navigating recovery, trauma, or behavioral health challenges during pregnancy and postpartum.Topics in this episode include:What peer support specialists and recovery doulas doHow lived experience strengthens behavioral health and birth workAddressing trauma and stigma in perinatal careHow the Meadowlark Initiative and other statewide efforts are reshaping systems of carePathways for becoming a certified Peer Recovery Doula in MontanaHow Medicaid reimbursement and certification are evolving for doulasResources mentioned:LIFTS Online Resource Guide: hmhb-lifts.org The Meadowlark Initiative: https://mthf.org/priority/the-meadowlark-initiative/ One Health Recovery Doula Program Information: https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/project-examples/1123Montana Free Press Recovery Doula Article: https://montanafreepress.org/2023/10/16/montana-recovery-doulas-bridge-gaps-for-pregnant-people-struggling-with-addiction/ Contact: For more information about upcoming Peer Recovery Doula trainings, email Pam Ponich at Pam.Ponich@onechc.org.Enjoying the podcast?

New details revealed about the terror plot in Dearborn, Michigan. People should consider the dangers of allowing a full Muslim invasion of America as people head to the polls today. President Trump officially endorses Andrew Cuomo for mayor of New York City and says he will severely limit federal funding for NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins.

The Left has learned nothing from its vile rhetoric, as Nancy Pelosi calls Trump “the worst thing on the face of the Earth.” Helena, Montana, city commissioner candidate Helena McKnight leaves a shockingly vile voicemail for Republican Sen.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the legacy of the late former Vice President Dick Cheney, slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for trying to undermine the Supreme Court, and highlight more deranged behavior from the left, this time targeting Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy.First, they examine the long and influential career of Dick Cheney, from his early days in the Ford administration to serving as Defense Secretary during the Gulf War and later as one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history. There will be considerable debate on the right over his legacy in the Iraq War and his endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024. Jim also tells us about a special dinner he had with the Cheneys shortly after the 2004 election.Next, they slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for his latest comments clearly aimed at delegitimizing the U.S. Supreme Court, all because he's frustrated by the right-leaning decisions coming from the court. Holder is also among the people urging Democrats to gerrymander their congressional even more heading into the 2026 midtermsFinally, they recoil at the vile voicemail left for Sen. Sheehy by a woman who is running for local office in Montana. In the message, she hopes Sheehy contracts pancreatic cancer and dies quickly because he supported the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill. Jim says after Charlie Kirk's murder, the Jay Jones scandal, and now this, there are a lot of people becoming detached from reality over politics.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Ranches, rodeos and public land. This is the story of a surprising battle raging in the American West, and the unlikely coalition it's forged. Nearly half of all land in the West of the United States is owned by the federal government. Some people are trying to change that; they argue that part of it should be used for housing, amid a nationwide shortage. But this debate about land and development has touched a nerve in the Western psyche - tapping into bigger fears that the old way of life is under threat. It's about identity, trust, and the growing popularity of cowboy culture, driven in part by the TV series Yellowstone. In an increasingly polarised United States, this debate about public land is uniting cowboys, environmental activists, conservatives, and progressives. Ellie House reports from Montana, a state where the prospect of a public land sell-off is deeply unpopular, and where people feel like their cultures and traditions are at stake.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

      Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.  Yes, he loved America and yes, he loved war.  And yes, this podcast host once upon a time believed in what he was selling us.  But mostly, his death is a reminder of what we used to be forced to vote for.  As VP, Dems hated him almost as much as they do Trump.  In death, they will remember him as a great steward of the neo con deep state.     Bernie Sanders appears on a podcast and pretty much predicts the Democrat party is over and will splinter into two parties.   Ben Shapiro, on his podcast, hammers Tucker Carlson... we'll play a clip.    Former Senator Joe Manchin gives the clearest statement yet on why Dems are in trouble while a crazy dem in Montana running for office leaves the most vile voicemail you've ever heard for Montana Senatory Tim Sheahy.     Left Tackle Josh Simmons is back with the Chiefs.   I"m going there.... new KU star Darryn Peterson looks a lot like Michael Jordan.    And the Royals are sending a survey out to the fans about a new ballpark and that can only mean one thing.

#294 I first saw Jillian Johnsrud speak at FinCon, and I knew right away I wanted to bring her on the show. What she shared was incredibly valuable not just for the personal finance community, but especially for fitness professionals and gym owners who work so hard and often think they have to wait until "someday" to enjoy life. In this episode, Jillian explains what a mini retirement is, why it can be one of the best decisions you'll ever make, and how to plan for it intentionally. We talk about the time and money components, how to include your family, and how taking a step back can actually move you forward financially and personally. Even if you're not ready to take one right now, the process of preparing for a mini retirement will help you put the right systems in place and gain clarity about what really matters. In this episode, you'll learn: What a mini retirement actually is (and what it isn't) Why it can provide unexpected financial and personal benefits How to think through the time and money pieces so it fits your season of life Tips for making the most of your time away, especially with family Why planning for a mini retirement can strengthen your business systems even if you don't take one yet About the Guest Jillian Johnsrud never expected to be able to retire early, so she hatched a plan to retire often. Inspired by the idea of sabbatical years, she set out to sprinkle retirements throughout her life. At 40, she has taken over a dozen mini-retirements. These allowed her to pursue dreams like living abroad, traveling to 27 countries, adopting four kids (plus two biological kids), investing in real estate, and touring the U.S. in a camper. Jillian has taught, coached, and wrote about mini-retirements for almost a decade. She hosts the Retire Often podcast and is a popular speaker and consultant for mini retirements. She lives in Montana, where she spends time in the garden drinking tea. Jillian Johnsrud is the founder of Retire Often and a leading voice in the financial independence and lifestyle design space. She's helped thousands of people pursue meaningful work, intentional living, and financial freedom on their own terms.

Send us a textFrom the gridiron to the brain, this episode dives deep into how former All-American linebacker and two-time national champion Brandon Day turned pain, burnout, and life's challenges into purpose. He opens up about his journey from a small town in Montana to co-founding Evolved Athlete, where he discovered the power of neurotraining and Flow Science along the way.We discuss the lessons sports teach us beyond the scoreboard — emotional regulation, teamwork, and resilience — and how these lessons now shape Brandon's work in helping athletes move beyond pain to unlock performance in life.You'll also hear how fatherhood (with triplets!) parallels life on the field, why early sports specialization is holding kids back, and how healthy masculinity and mentorship can transform the way young athletes express strength and emotion.

405 A Love Letter To My Future Self Throughout life there will come times where we must take up our skills and talents as a knight would a sword and shield, wielding our innate and powerful gifts to further our lives for the better. By facing these moments, refusing to make excuses, and instead put in the hard work, we are bound to succeed.  In this episode, Sarah Elkins contemplates the events that lead up to her presence on the TEDX stage, how the encouragement of her closest confidants, the peacefulness of nature on her hikes, and her own self reflection has brought her to this pivotal moment in her life.    Highlights What are you hesitating on? What is giving you pause as you take this next step in your life? How social media and our own personal responsibility can potentially contribute to division. Connecting as a human being is all you need to be to make your life and the lives of those around you more fulfilling. Are you making excuses? Or are you avoiding doing something hard even though it will pay off in the end? You just need to make it exist first, then you can make it perfect.  You are at a summit, but not the summit.   Quotes "Every like, comment, and share, tells the algorithm on every platform exactly what it needs to know to manipulate us." "Our personal stories can reduce loneliness and division when we share them with the intention to connect. Not with the intention to change a person's mind." "You took big risks Sarah, and they paid off! I'm not surprised at all."   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Author & wild-farm advocate Dan Imhoff explores the challenge of embracing coexistence with predators when raising livestock in conversation with Montana ranchers Becky Weed & Malou Anderson Ramirez

Out here at our home in Montana, I had one of those nights that turned into a sermon I didn't plan to preach. A young calf had wedged himself tight in a fence — and if I hadn't gone back to check the mineral bucket, he'd have been mountain lion food by morning. I cut the chain loose, he bolted off without so much as a "thank you," and I stood there on that hillside grinning like a fool, feeling lighter than I had in weeks. It had nothing to do with caregiving — and that's exactly the point. Every caregiver needs something that lifts the soul, something that reminds us we're still alive, not just functioning. For me, it was freeing a calf. For you, it might be painting, gardening, music, or a quiet moment with a puzzle. These aren't hobbies — they're oxygen for the spirit. I wrapped the show with Gracie's favorite hymn, This Is the Day That the Lord Has Made. We've sung it in hospital rooms and now here at home with the mountains out our window. It's not a children's song to us — it's a statement of faith when the day looks hard. Zephaniah wrote, "The Lord your God is in your midst… He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing." That's the kind of God we serve — one who doesn't just command us to rejoice, but actually rejoices over us. So that's my message this week: find your thing. Give yourself permission to breathe, to laugh, to live. Because the God who called you into this life is already singing over you.

What words have been spoken over your life? Labels that stuck? Curses disguised as throwaway comments? Pastor Jennie Lusko reveals how Jabez's final request—"keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain"—was the prayer that broke the curse his own mother spoke over him. Discover the power you have to choose life over death, blessing over cursing, no matter what has been said about you or to you. Find freedom from the labels that have defined you and step into the truth that God's banner over you is LOVE.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

My friends… this might just be the biggest episode I've ever done. I mean it. Buckle up, because today I'm dropping the biggest news of my entire fitness career. Yup — you heard that right. After 25+ years of building, growing, evolving, and praying on what's next… I'm fired up to officially announce that I'm opening Impact X Performance San Diego — coming Q1 of 2026! That's right, baby — a brand new 5,000-square-foot sanctuary of fitness, recovery, coaching, and faith. A place where the soul sings, the spirit soars, and lives are transformed. This episode is personal. It's raw. It's emotional. I'm sharing straight from the heart — because this next chapter has been years in the making. I talk about: The five powerful reasons why I'm opening this new flagship IXP location in San Diego.  How three and a half years of pain, burnout, and uncertainty turned into the foundation for my greatest comeback yet. Why my soul needed to get back into brick and mortar — to lead, coach, and serve again in person. What makes IXP different — from world-class training and recovery, to faith-fueled coaching and personal growth programs. How scripture guided me through the storm and how this vision was born out of divine timing, not my own. You'll also hear about my plans for mentorships, retreats, and life-changing experiences we'll host at IXP San Diego — because I can't wait to pour into more coaches, leaders, and high performers like YOU. I'm also dropping some reflection questions that I've asked myself the last few years — questions that shaped everything I'm announcing today: If your older, wiser self could speak to you, what would they say? If you knew you would not fail, what would you do — and when would you do it? Are you running to something, or from something? What's your B-HAG — your big, hairy, audacious goal? This episode is about rebirth, renewal, and stepping boldly into what God's called you to do — even when you don't have all the answers. Because I didn't. For years, I didn't. But now… now the vision is crystal clear. So tune in, crank the volume, and let's celebrate this moment together. Because Impact X Performance San Diego is coming SOON — and it's going to be something special. Follow the journey on Instagram at @ImpactXSanDiego — I'll be posting all the updates on the buildout, the team, and the launch.  And tag me @ToddDurkin with your biggest takeaway from this episode. I want to hear from you! Let's go, baby. The next chapter starts NOW. Train hard. Eat right. Live inspired.

Headframe Spirits (Butte, MT) WF076 Today, a bit of a hybrid episode. As part of the Great 48 Tour, I decided to revisit a distillery in the mining town of Butte, Montana. It's a distillery that tells the story of Butte America and the town's mining legacy through its spirit names. So, not only was I fascinated by it's storytelling, I was also intrigued by the fact I've seen stills around the country with Headframe's logo. So, I wanted to dive a little deeper with founder John McKee, who not only has a passion for making a unique (for America) style still, but also is a great ambassador for the town of Butte. A good bit of history, some talk about whiskey, and a wee bit of a technical deep dive into what makes his stills different from the pot stills and column stills we see throughout the industry. Enjoy this interview/flight with an additional 5 minutes of content as a member of the Whiskey Lore Speakeasy: patreon.com/whiskeylore  Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew

Craig Matthews is one of the most prominent figures in fly fishing, with a career spanning half a century and an influence that is immeasurable. Making his home in Montana, Craig's fly shop, Blue Ribbon Flies, became an icon as he educated and helped generations of anglers find their way with a fly rod. Craig's many fly creations, like the Sparkle Dun and X-Caddis are in my fly box, and they're probably in yours. Craig also founded One Percent for the Planet, a collection of outdoor retailers, now approaching one-billion dollars donated to preserving and enhancing trout rivers across the country.Craig has authored nine books, the latest of which is titled Pheasant Tail Simplicity.

Send us a textGet ready everyone! This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale got a hold of the Executive Director of the Montana State Parks Foundation Megan Buecking and asked her if she knew anything about the rumors that some of Montana's Ghost Towns are actually haunted. Not only did she know about that, but she is a bit of an expert on the topic and took poor ole Rigger on a podcast tour that he will not soon forget. In fact, we are pretty sure that everyone around the podcast offices that heard Megan and Rigger's stories will not sleep for quite some time! As Rigger put it; “I thought this was going to fun little change of pace kind of Podcast where I would hear a few quirky stories and that would be it. Boy was I wrong! I hate to admit it but hosting this podcast scared the crap out of me! In fact, I am now pretty darn sure that ghosts are real!” Yeah, don't say we didn't warn you but when you listen, its gonna get real fricking spooky! And in some cases, heartbreaking. Wait until you hear about the one town where almost every child in the town died in one year! In another of the ghost towns that Rigger did a little research on he found out that several paranormal studies have been done and out of those the experts have concluded that no less than sixty buildings in and around the ghost town are indeed considered hunted!

When you meet someone for the first time, do you trust them by default?   I like to think that I just assume the best of a stranger, until they prove they aren't worthy of my trust. But that can be dangerous in some cases.   There were a couple of people who were partners in a business and they were looking for office space to rent. They searched online and found an ad for what looked like the perfect space. They met the owner there and he showed them around. They paid him first and last month's rent using Venmo, and planned to sign the lease agreement the next day.   They got the keys and moved everything in. But they never heard from the owner again. After a couple of days they still weren't able to reach him. Then the next day, the ACTUAL owner showed up, asking who they were any why they had moved all their stuff in, since he was planning to lease the space out soon.   The original fake owner was a disgruntled employee. He made out with a few thousand dollars, handed over the keys, and disappeared. But that whole scam hinged on trust.   My guest today is Tessi. She lives in Montana but was traveling outside the US. She met a young man and she didn't have any specific reason to not trust him.   But he was not someone to be trusted.     Links to local articles: https://www.usexpatcostarica.com/authorities-provide-assistance-to-tourist-who-was-raped-in-tortuguero/   https://www.usexpatcostarica.com/american-identified-suspect-of-rape-in-tortuguero/   https://qcostarica.com/court-imposes-six-months-of-preventive-detention-against-suspect-of-raping-a-american-tourist-in-tortuguero/     Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/234   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

A group of Montana activists is pushing a ballot initiative attacking Citizens United, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that granted corporations the right to spend unlimited money in politics. While Montana's Republican Attorney General  attempted to block the ballot initiative this week, the fight is far from over. In the third episode of Lever Time's MONEYBOMB series, David Sirota sits down with political strategist Tom Moore from The Center for American Progress. That nonprofit is spearheading the Transparent Election Initiative, Montana's new plan to purge dark money from the state, which could potentially rewrite national politics. Could this effort deal a blow to the corporate takeover of politics? And could it blaze a path for other states to follow?
