Mike Smith explores the truth many Black men live with: we learned how to survive, not how to heal. This episode breaks down the cost of unspoken pain and why choosing healing is an act of strength, not weakness.You deserve more than survival.
Some are working pretty hard currently to buy into the Mike Smith storyline that the big end of town has the Government's ear over climate change. Mike Smith is the activist, the agitator, the chainsaw man, the "smack the America's Cup" bloke. So, you know, a life of angst and upset. His latest outing was in court, looking to sue individual companies over their pollution around climate change. He was looking for an activist court to agree with the idea that a company can be held to specific and individual account for something that happens all over the world by, if you think about it, all of us. The Government stepped in a week or so back and put an end to it. Their argument is Parliament is your ultimate court and these sorts of laws are for it, not individual judges who may sway with the wind. They didn't put it that way, I did. But there is no doubt in my mind, in a number of areas, various courts these days are open to a bit of judicial dabbling. In my humble opinion it is brought about by an increasing arrogance that they make the rules. It's true to say a court can have a say or hold sway. But it's equally true to say the ultimate court is the Parliament of the land and we do not want that undermined. Now, Mike claims people like Fonterra have been writing to the Prime Minister's office and advocating for the Government to step in on court action like his. And given they did he now suggests this is collusion, this is scally-waggery, this is big money, big influence malarkey that borders on scandal. Or could it be a corporate saying what you would expect a corporate to say and a government, not surprisingly, doing what they would do anyway. In other words, Fonterra didn't need to say anything because Paul Goldsmith would have done what he did without any correspondence. Why? Because they think the same way I do. I didn't write to anyone and didn't have a meeting with anyone and yet I would have thought, nay expected, the Government to nip the Smith fishing expedition in the bud. Why? Because it's obvious and it's common sense. See not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes, remarkably, especially when it's obvious, people tend to have the same view. Letters or no letters, meetings or no meetings. Nothing to see here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Broker Link Podcast, Mike Smith and Josh Slattery break down the key updates from the 2027 CMS Medicare Final Rule and what it means for agent partners. One of the biggest headlines is the rate increase for Medicare Advantage plans, rising from 0.9% to 2.48%, which injects approximately $13 billion into the system.

The discussion also highlights the codification of the Inflation Reduction Act provision that caps out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,100, providing greater financial protection for beneficiaries. From a compliance standpoint, several important changes are addressed.

Mike Smith is joined live in-studio by Bob from Free Cycles to talk about spring riding in Missoula—and the future of one of the city's most community-driven spaces.At the heart of the conversation is the Free Cycles “Forever Campaign,” an effort to secure the long-term sustainability of the organization by paying off its property and expanding its impact. The campaign supports everything from youth programming and hands-on bike education to innovative pedal-powered systems and the vision of taking the space fully off-grid.Free Cycles has long served as a hub for transportation equity, offering free tools, repair guidance, and access to bikes for anyone who walks through the door. But as Bob explains, it's about more than bikes—it's about creating a true “third place” where people can gather, connect, and participate without financial barriers.Listeners will also hear about upcoming events, live music, and seasonal opportunities to get involved, all while supporting a mission rooted in accessibility, sustainability, and community.
In this episode, Mike Smith sits down with Joy French of Bare Bait Dance and the Westside Theater to talk about the energy, creativity, and community behind 40 Over 40—Missoula's sold-out dance showcase celebrating performers stepping back into the spotlight.Joy shares how dancers of all experience levels are taking on new styles, pushing past self-doubt, and rediscovering the joy of movement. From first-time choreography on a high school poms squad to leading a production with over 100 community members, her journey highlights the power of saying “yes” to something new—at any age.The conversation explores how dance becomes more than performance—it's connection, creativity, and a chance to challenge yourself in ways that feel both vulnerable and rewarding. Plus, they dive into what makes the Westside Theater such a special, intimate venue, and how its programming—from community shows to youth camps—continues to bring people together.Even if you missed out on tickets, this episode captures the spirit of 40 Over 40: taking risks, finding your people, and remembering that it's never too late to try something new.

Mr. Mike Smith
Art and Phred dive into treadmill survival strategies, including Phred's classic 1:05 reset method, the magic of a 15% incline, and the universal truth that starting too fast indoors is a bad life choice. Art is eyeing a March 15 return to running, sharing some winter miles at Lincoln Woods and the awkward reality of snowshoeing. The conversation rolls into the chaos of the Umstead 100—a brutally simple crushed gravel grind with a registration process that sells out in minutes and legends like Mike Smith stacking up finishes.
