In our first story, Jeremy Kenee and his buddies embark on a cross-country road trip with a Big Gulp super-glued to the roof of the car. Ride along with Jeremy to experience the hilarious reactions and unexpected encounters everywhere they went. Jeremy calls his story “Big Gulp”. Thanks for listening. Thanks, Jeremy.

He met his wife, Heather, and they raised two talented daughters who are now flung far and wide in the world. After a long career engineering streets and highways, Jeremy became the City Public Works Director in 2019. When he’s not sailing on Flathead Lake, you might find him riding mountain bikes in the hills around Missoula or playing beer-league hockey at the Glacier Ice Rink. In our next story, Meco Correia is a former PACU nurse with a heightened awareness of horizons and the lingering echoes of trauma. Discover how a unique self-care practice involving Japanese rope art provides grounding and connection, setting the stage for an extraordinary encounter with the unknown on a quiet Missoula street. Meco calls her story “Eye on the Sky”.  Meco Correia is a believer that a nourishing meal cooked and shared in LOVE will advance soul healing on this planet. She is a co-creator in a sensual healing touch community, a culinary artist, a watercolor dabbler, a gypsy gardener and an RN that has touched many lives and BODIES in this community for over 25 years. Tom Attard shares his story about a raw and emotional Christmas Eve encounter at a Kalispell bar, where a man’s heartbreak leads him to his “little” brother, a drywall-delivering, street-fighting, functional alcoholic. Their intertwined lives, marked by a decade of distance and dangerous choices, build to a powerful, desperate conversation about change. Crack a beer and listen along to Tom's story that he calls “A Ride Home from the Rainbow”. Tom Attard was born and raised in the great state of Montana and is a father, husband, General Contractor, ultra runner and lover of all things outdoors.  You can find him on most dark winter mornings running a trail on any of the surrounding slopes. In constant motion from birth, Tom rarely sits still. Skiing, rafting, fishing, hunting, running and finding any excuse to get out there. Kali Neumeister invites you to forget what the movies taught you about pregnancy. This candid account reveals the surprising realities of pregnancy, from a challenging gestational diabetes diagnosis to an unexpected labor during a severe storm. Follow one woman’s unforgettable journey to motherhood, proving that real-life births are far more dramatic and unpredictable than anything on screen. Kali calls her story “A Womb Awakening” Kali Neumeister. Kali is 33 years old and was born and raised here in Missoula. A counselor by trade, Kali enjoys the quiet life of reading and storytelling and the adventures of skiing and scuba diving.
