#752B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/752B  Presented by: Fish The Fly If you've ever wanted to escape the summer crowds and get into Western Wyoming fly fishing, this episode is for you. I sat down with Jason "JB" Balogh from Fish the Fly Guide Service in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. JB shares what it's like to hike into the high-country creeks around the Tetons to target cutthroat trout on dry flies. We talk about the gear, flies, techniques, and everything you need to know for a backcountry fly fishing adventure. Plus, JB walks us through some of the bigger water options like the Snake and Green Rivers, and even throws in a few local tips—like where to get the best waffle after a tram ride.

Norie brings decades of experience from her roles at National Geographic Traveler and as a contributor to National Geographic. She shares fascinating insights into adventure storytelling, the evolving landscape of tourism, and the powerful shift toward regenerative travel. Subject: What a Red Puffy Jacket, a Black Lab, and the Tetons Taught Me About Adventure I discovered the magic of nature—only after realizing my feet were literally black with dirt. - Norie Quitos What Happened: If you told 12-year-old me that one day I'd be preaching the gospel of nature and conservation on a podcast, she would've laughed in your face while clutching her Lisa Frank diary. Back then, I was a hardcore indoors kid. My travel dreams were less “hike the Andes” and more “sip coffee outside a museum in Paris.” Nature? Great in theory. From a safe, clean, bathroom-accessible distance. But life had other plans. Specifically, two kids and a deep desire for them to experience something I hadn't: the outdoors. Our first trip? My sister's backyard. Borrowed tent. Questionable gear. But hey—we survived. That spiraled into state park weekends, and eventually, a full-on wagon adventure at the foot of the Tetons. Cue canvas tents, no showers, and yes—leeches. I was not okay. My soles were blacker than a burnt marshmallow, and I seriously questioned my life choices… until someone said, “It's dirt, but it's not dirty.” Mind. Blown. That moment changed everything. Principle: Adventure doesn't require a plane ticket or a trust fund. It's not always epic views and adrenaline rushes. Sometimes, it's dirt, discomfort, and doing something that stretches you just enough to see the world—and yourself—a little differently. That shift in perspective? That's where the real story begins. It's not just about going places. It's about who you become because you did. Transition: But here's the thing… Most of us still think “adventure” only counts if it looks like a Patagonia ad. We think our stories aren't worth telling unless they involve wild landscapes or bucket list bragging rights. The problem? That belief keeps so many of us from starting. From exploring our own backyards. From seeing travel as a tool for transformation—not just content creation. That's Why: That's why this episode with Nori Quintos hit home. Because it's not just about where you go—it's about how you go. Nori's journey from suburban indoor kid to global storyteller proves that the adventure industry isn't just changing—it's opening up. She shares how regenerative travel is replacing tourism-as-usual, and why women over 50 are redefining what solo travel—and real power—looks like. Call to Action: Feeling stuck thinking your next adventure needs to be “epic” or expensive? That mindset's the real roadblock. Break free with Nori's story—because once you hear it, you'll realize the best journeys don't start with gear… they start with grit.

My daughter and I had not been back to that camp in the Tetons since she was a little girl, like five years old. We stayed there as a family way back then, because our good friends from college ran the camp. There she struck up a friendship with their five-year-old who's named Holly. Well, the camp has grown a lot over the years, and so have our daughters who are speeding through their lives. It was kind of fun for them to see each other again and Holly took my daughter for a little private tour of a bunk house that was there some years ago when we were there. They had to bend down for what Holly wanted to show her. But there it was, still decorating the wood, in living Crayola color, Holly's name in red crayon and my daughter's in blue Crayon; both written in distinctive penmanship that five-year-olds have, and both still there after all these years. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Lasting Mark of Life's Mistakes." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Genesis 32, beginning at verse 24. Jacob has been having a wrestling match with someone who turns out to be divine. And verse 24 says, "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." Finally the fight ends when that man touches the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with that man. Later, Jacob knows who he met there. He called the place Peniel, saying, "'It is because I saw God face-to-face, and yet my life was spared.' The sun rose above him as he had passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip." Jacob struggled with God. He'd actually wrestled with Him his whole life. But at this brook he goes for God's full blessing. God changes him from Jacob, the cheat, and He changes his name to Israel, Prince with God. The whole nation will be named after him. God forgives. God transforms Jacob, and He's still doing that with Jacobs today. But even though the struggle with God was over, Jacob carried a life-long reminder of his struggle - the limp. The sin was forgiven, the man was changed, but as happens so often, he'd struggled with God and that left a mark on him the rest of his life. Now, my daughter couldn't get over how long the marks had lasted for what she did many years ago. In a way, that's a picture of how sin is. Even though the sin is long behind us, long forgiven, often the consequences, the marks of our sin are there for years to come. Sin is cruel. You were once its slave, and you're free now but you still carry some of the scars of how your slave master treated you. You always will. We need to remember what sin does, because those scars, those lasting consequences will deter us from leaving God's ways again. Now, forgiveness comes quickly when we bring our sin to the cross of Jesus, but it doesn't come cheaply; it cost Him his life. But the ready availability of forgiveness should not make us forget the sometimes continuing consequences of sin - the limp that is there long after our struggle with God is behind us. I think of four Rs that explain some of the lasting marks of sin. Reputation - the damage to your reputation can last a long time. Regrets - there for years. Relationships that were damaged that are hard to repair. Recollection - the memories that just keep coming back. It's a sobering reminder to seriously count the cost before we take any spiritual detour. The scars of our past aren't all bad. Not if they remind us to stay away from sin because of its price tag. And it's wonderful to know that God has forever erased those sins from His book. You say, "Well, Ron, I'm not sure I've ever had that happen." Well, have you ever, in your heart, gone to His cross and said, "Jesus, You're dying for my sins there." If you've never put your life in His hands, do it now. You say, "Jesus, I'm yours." Our website is there to help you be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. And the next time sin looks enticing and interesting, let's not forget what our daughter was so graphically reminded of, staring at the marks she made so many years ago. The marks still remain long after what we did to make the marks is over.

Show Notes:Holly's Links:Holly's profile on The Mountain Guideshttps://www.instagram.com/hollyismackin/Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday! This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today, our guest is Holly Mackin.  When Holly was little, no one would have ever assumed she'd find her pursuits in the outdoors. Mostly scared of bugs and raised within the traditions of Catholic culture, it seemed highly unlikely she'd commit to a life living in and out of a van or tent. Something changed in high school when she needed an escape from the drama of her peers. She started running outdoors and practicing yoga religiously. She found herself going on mission trips abroad, which gave her more purpose.When she decided to go to college at the University of Colorado Boulder, she was exposed to backcountry skiing and climbing. Already a runner, she scheduled her classes around soloing the Flatirons so she could take her practice to more interesting places. Throughout college, she spent summers in Grand Teton National Park, where she later planted roots as a mountain guide.Her passion for rock climbing takes her to the Southwest every spring and fall, frequenting areas like Indian Creek, Red Rock Canyon, and Joshua Tree. In the winter, Holly is usually found in the Tetons, hunting for untouched powder and teaching snow science. She coordinates all women's backcountry skiing and climbing programs for The Mountain Guides under the Women's Network. This program also works to support newer women guides on their journey to becoming mountain guides.Holly followed her heart to become a guide, cherishes the connections she builds with her clients and fellow guides, and has big dreams to make an impact. Now, please enjoy this episode with Holly Mackin.Things We Talked about:From Kentucky to Colorado, following the love of skiingEnvironmental Anthropology and skiing brought Holly to Jackson WyomingInception of guiding and it all started at a juiceryIn college, Holly maximized her time being on the ski slopes and rock cliffsGot an internship at The Mountain Guides doing all sorts of chores and volunteering to shadow trips to get outdoorsRight now at Teton Valley guiding skiing and teaching avalanche coursesFeeling closer to her environmental goals guidingHolly's environmental takes and views and how she uses conversations to remind people that we are part of natureHolly loves being outside and human connectionsWomen's Programs with The Mountain Guides – guides development and clients long term progressionOutlook on guidingBeyond guiding, Holly wants to be an entrepreneur

Episode Intro: Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, Happy Wednesday, and Happy Lunar New Year of the Snake! This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today, we have Izzy Lazarus as our guest. I've known Izzy for a while, but it wasn't until last fall that I finally got to meet her in person when she came to Red Rock for her AMGA Rock Guide Exam. I knew I had to have her on the show. Izzy grew up in NYC, playing hockey, skateboarding, and finding a connection with the ocean. Her mountain pursuits began with a pre-orientation backpacking trip in the thick Vermont woods, and she's been hooked ever since. Courses in rock and ice climbing and outdoor leadership led her to work at the Colorado Outward Bound School after college. Izzy spent several years working multi-week climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, and backcountry skiing courses, both domestically and abroad. In 2017, she moved to the Tetons to work as an alpine and backcountry ski guide. Between Teton seasons, she traveled and worked in the Southwest desert region and various peaks in the Northwest and Cascades. Several years later, life took her back to Vermont to work for the UVM Outdoor Programs Dept and guide on the side. Izzy has a passion for adventure that is only surpassed by her love of education, teaching, building connections with people from around the world, and cooking! Izzy is a Certified Rock Guide, Assistant Splitboard Guide, and Apprentice Alpine Guide. We talked about Izzy's different transitions in life, from a big city to the great outdoors, from seasonal guiding to a full-time job. We discussed what ignited these transitions, how she managed the changes, and what she learned from her experiences. Izzy always seems to have a positive outlook on life and genuinely cares about the people around her, wanting to learn from them. Izzy's energy and positive attitude towards life are truly radiant. I had so much fun chatting with her, and I bet you'll enjoy our conversation too. Izzy's Links: Izzy's profile on AMGA website Setting the Track Things We Talked about: From a big city to the mountains The power of metaphors What guiding is about for Izzy Izzy's first mountain experience From 13 years of hockey to finding identity in the outdoors The UVM outdoor programs West versus East for example Tetons versus Vermont Outward Bound years Nudged and mentored by other amazing female guides in the Teton Valley Female representation in the guiding / climbing community Seasonal guiding versus a full time job Sustainability Information gathering Izzy loves planning but also loves spontaneity Burn outs?

If you've heard our last few shows, you know that BlogTalk Radio is leaving the internet on Jan. 31.  Our show will continue through our website, starseedhotline.com.  We'll be on the air the first Tuesday of the month at 7 pm ET, starting on Feb. 4, 2025.  You can still listen during the live show by going to http://www.starseedhotline.com, and there, you'll see where you can either click or call to listen.  The call in number will be there for US callers, and both international and American listeners can click the link to listen.  After the show, the audio will be added to the new archive of shows on our site, so you can still listen to the show if you miss the live one.  We've done over 550 shows in 15 yrs. so it will take some time to transfer all of the previous shows to our new archive on our site.  If you follow us here on BlogTalk, please email me at starseedhotline.com so I can put you on our new follower list so you'll still get our show announcements. When our show was scheduled to go live on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 7 pm ET, BlogTalk crashed and we couldn't get in, even though we kept trying.  Because this information on the Teton Meetings is so important for starseeds, this is a do-over. This is Lavandar's interview about the Teton Meetings, which are going on right now.  Every January 1-7 and July 1-7, Galactic Councils gather inside a mountain in the Tetons to review the last 6 months and plan for the next 6 months, as well as a long term plan to help us evolve out of darkness.  With all that's happening in our world now, the meetings are being extended beyond Jan. 7.  Every 45 minutes, they bring 144,000 starseeds to the meeting, which is two weeks in their dimension.  In this rare interview, we'll talk about those meetings, how they came about, why they are needed, the beings involved and the starseed participation.

Tom Mangelsen is a renowned American nature and wildlife photographer celebrated for his breathtaking imagery that captures some of the planet's most iconic animals in their natural habitats. Born in Nebraska, Mangelsen's early fascination with the outdoors, fostered by time spent hunting and fishing along the Platte River, laid the foundation for his lifelong dedication to conservation-focused photography. Over the course of his prolific career, he has traveled across all seven continents, documenting everything from Alaskan brown bears  to Africa's majestic elephants traversing vast savannas and many places in between. His commitment to capturing authentic wildlife moments has made him a recipient of numerous awards, including recognition by the BBC as one of the 40 most influential nature photographers in the world.Grizzly 399 was a world-famous grizzly bear residing primarily in Grand Teton National Park, often hailed as the “Matriarch of the Tetons.” Born in 1996, she has garnered widespread media and public attention for raising numerous litters of cubs - often in close proximity to roads and park visitors - while maintaining a relatively calm demeanor around humans. Her remarkable maternal track record has contributed significantly to our understanding of grizzly behavior and ecology in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She was struck and killed by a vehicle on October 22, 2024.Notable Links:Tom Mangelsen WebsiteTom Mangelsen InstagramGrizzly 399: The World's Most Famous Mother BearFirst LightGrizzly 399 Wikipedia Page*****This episode is brought to you by Luminar Neo.Luminar Neo streamlines the editing process and provides everything you could possibly need to get photos that will look amazing on the screen and in print.

It was a worse-than-normal year for anyone who lives on the west side of the Tetons and commutes into Teton County, Wyoming, for work. Perhaps no image from 2024 better captured the struggles of Jackson Hole's infamous wealth inequality better than the hours spent in traffic by those commuters after Teton Pass “catastrophically failed” in June. That's when KHOL's Dante Filpula Ankney took a seat on the bus. 

Tis the season for a holiday treat and as such I'm joined by my friend Duncan Gasiewicz. We have a great chat about haning out in the Grande Tetons as a kid, fly tying and deer hair, how great the producer is, competition casting and competing with yourself, visual learning, long lines, wartime correspondences, tailing fish, Cuba, and so much more. Enjoy the holidays and hopefully the episode and we'll ramble on next year.

On October 22, 2024 a legacy ended when Grizzly 399 was hit by a car and killed. She was the most beloved bear in the world and the oldest known grizzly to bear cubs in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She gained popularity when she strategically raised her cubs by the roadways and tolerated human interaction. In this episode we tell her story, the legacy and impact she left on the conservation world, and the problems that her habituation has had and will continue to cause. Hang out until the end of the episode where we have special trail tales from listeners who had the opportunity to see her in the wild.

Today, we invite you to join us as Sandra McCracken and Stephanie explore the interplay of faith, cultural insights, and the essence of beauty in worship music. Stephanie sits down with renowned musician Sandra McCracken to dive into the multifaceted ways God uses to connect us to Him, including beauty, language, and culture. Their conversation touches on various facets—from the linguistic richness of French expressions of delight and light, to the role of the local church and the importance of worship. Join us as we explore how experiencing God's beauty through nature, music, and community can deepen our spiritual journey. Sandra McCracken's songwriting serves as a rich medium to convey scriptural truths and draw us deep in worship through music. Her goal is to help people delight in God's presence through her music, creating songs that resonate with the heart's deepest longings. She shares how singing these truths repeatedly helps align her heart with them, even amid doubts or fears. Her work embodies the connection between light and delight, encouraging us to find joy and hope in God's presence. Let's talk about beauty for a minute. In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, the perception of beauty can often become obscured. Sandra and Stephanie discuss the necessity of slowing down to truly appreciate and experience deeper, non-disposable beauty. Pausing to engage with our surroundings and community, allows us to witness God's presence in the ordinary moments of life. By embracing this slower pace, we open ourselves up to deeper intimacy with God, finding beauty and inspiration in the everyday and the extraordinary alike. Beauty serves as a 'homing device,' drawing us toward God. Whether through the breathtaking landscapes of Yellowstone and Tetons or through the creative brilliance of European architecture, beauty reveals the hand of the divine in our world. Stephanie echoes this sentiment by highlighting how the unique expressions of beauty in different cultures enrich our spiritual experience, offering a fuller understanding of God's nature. During her visit to a botanical garden in Colorado, Sandra was struck by the diverse beauty of the garden, from the tall milkweeds to the fluttering butterflies. The process of pruning in gardening parallels life's trials. Just as a gardener prunes to encourage growth and beauty, God, the "master gardener," prunes us through life's challenges. Although this process can be uncomfortable, it is essential for our spiritual growth and transformation. Embracing this divine pruning allows us to develop into the people God intends us to be. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Sandra explores the concept of true beauty through the lens of the cross. The cross represents the epitome of humility, sacrifice, and power, embodying the ultimate beauty in the biblical narrative. Facing our brokenness within a community helps us understand and experience God's beauty in a transformative way. This vulnerability and honesty before God and one another reflect the beauty that comes from embracing our imperfections and relying on divine grace. Sandra invites us to consider how beauty, language, and community play pivotal roles in our faith journey. From the linguistic richness of French to Jesus' teaching on pruning, Sandra encourages us to slow down, appreciate beauty, and engage deeply with our faith communities. Through her music and reflections, Sandra McCracken helps us find delight in God's light, inviting us into a richer, more authentic experience of God in Christ.

Part two is the disorientation of loss, displacement, and the dark night of the soul. Part three is reorientation, how God brings us through the darkness and illuminates our path with Scripture, sending us out to take his light to others. This has been the shape of Sandra McCracken's life. Through it all, songs and Scripture have been there to light the way, helping her respond to God's call. How will you respond to God's call to send out his light? We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Welcome, Sam. Thank you, Queen. I am stoked to be here. It's such a fun question being asked. Like, what do you do? You know, what's your magic?Today, right? like, because magic is magic. you actually can't describe it. but what I will say is this, because I think everyone will understand this. There is A version of you that exists, that is completely on fire, unstoppable, is operating in her fullest power, potential, all of it. And she is fucking thriving in every area of her life.physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In her business, in her relationships, everything. And that's what I do. It's deep ass transformational work, wealth activation, helping you see how fucking epic you are. and helping you remove anything that is holding you back from that highest timeline of you just holy shit what is my life this is insane oh my god pinch me every day just encouraging women to go bigger and bigger and bigger until they're like it can get this good okay and then they just explode into sparkles yeah they just become literal rainbow fairy dust yes I can attest to that. You can, you can. Absolutely. Life always be lifin I had a conversation with Kurt, my fiance, like maybe, maybe this was like two months ago.we're full time vanlifers and so it is a lifestyle that we both wanted to do. We chose, and it's also comes with a lot of challenges, right? Like you have to think about, oh, we have to fill up our water tank. You know, when you live in a house, you don't have to think about water. It just comes out of the faucet and you're good.And so there's a lot more just things, right? We're moving around. We're seeing these beautiful sights and we have complete freedom, but In a way, there's a lot of challenges and running a company from within is also a whole other challenge and living with your partner in that close proximity is also a whole nother challenge.And so we were chatting about how much we've evolved as a couple and been able to both do our own thing and. You know, actually do it. But I said to him, I'm like, damn, you know what van life has taught me the most and him too, is like how to be resilient as, and how to show up even when you don't want to, you don't feel like it and you just, you feel like you don't have the capacity, but you actually do. And so it was making me realize, like, I'm like, I don't know another CEO that's running a seven figure company out of a van. I got to get myself some more credit. Damn. Right. And so I think that's the first piece is actually giving yourself so much more credit than probably do, because first of all, starting a business and doing that is an initiation in and of itself.But then doing that while being a good friend, being a good partner, taking care of yourself, all this stuff, it's not easy. it requires you to just elevate your mindset, have emotional intelligence and be a completely different version of you. And so, I would say there's all of that wrapped up with capacity.The capacity is a huge piece. And the second piece, which is actually something I'm stretching myself. I don't want to do this, but I'm going to do it is I'm about to sign up for a 22 mile race in the Tetons, which is at And to be honest, there's no part of me that wants to do it. I don't, I'm like, it's going to be hard.there's going to be days where I don't want to train. There's going to be days where I'm going to have excuses, but I can't let that stop me from training or else I'm going to be fucked on that mountain. Right. And so I'm doing it. Not because I want to, but because of who I'm going to be after training for three months and running 22 miles, even when my knees feel like they're going to break out of my goddamn legs.Right. And I haven't done something like this in a while, but it's literally because of what you just asked. How do you show up in life? So when shit hits the fan, just do it. And it's the same with the business. The business right now is exploding in all the ways.And I'm like, there are a million balls. I gotta stay grounded and hold it all. And feel, wow, my body is literally expanding in real time. And I can feel the capacity of my body actually expanding. It's really wild. So, I would say all of that, right? It's like, first of all, telling yourself, I've got this. I can handle this.And I say this to myself all the time, like all day fucking every day. I got this. I can do this. I can handle this. And then also, I need to go to bed. You know, like, letting yourself rest. Like, it's not like, I'm not about like grinding and hustling, but I think people do not realize how capable they are.And that's why I'm going to go do this race. Cause I'm like, I've never run 22 miles. I don't know that I, I mean, I know in my mind, I can do it. My body doesn't yet know. So I get to get my body to expand its capacity Oh, it's raining.Show up, figure it out. what are you going to do? your exercises on the bed in the van, figure it out. Like I'm challenging myself to get. resourceful and be even more resilient in the face of either adversity or hardship or yeah, just literally being the leader that I know I need to be in order to scale the vision. I love that and I love the fact that you used exercise as an example because they go so hand in hand in order for the version of yourself That already has everything that you desire in order for you to step into that version. Your body is the fastest pathway. So if you put yourself in situations and scenarios where you're expanding your capacity and actually facing the fears or facing those crunchy moments of feeling uncomfortable or doing it anyways, even when you don't feel like it.if you don't, then you're also are subconsciously reprogramming your mind where you can do hard shit. Yeah. It's like Glennon Doyle. Like you can do hard things and yeah. I was literally, I was talking to a friend earlier and I'm like, I was asking myself, like, should I invest in this thing? But I think, as a high achiever, I'm like, what else am I capable of? What else can I create? And I think every high achiever, there's this gap where you're like, I know there's more.I know it. So let me squeeze the fucking juice out of each day, each moment, each month, because the story that I want to write, and the person who I want to be, and the stories I'm going to tell on stage, I don't want to tell the story of, well, I didn't sign up because I didn't really, meh. No!I signed up even though I didn't want to. But guess who I became on the other side? I'm going to be another motherfucking force after I run those 22 miles. Are you kidding? Not just in life, but in business. Like I can't even imagine that version of me. I'm so excited to meet her. I feel like today's challenge should be for everybody who's participating is what can you sign up for? Or what can you say yes to that feels out of your comfort zone and probably has nothing to do with business. Yeah, I love that. Cause for me also, like, there's the, you know, there's the commitment, right?Of actually showing up for the thing. I have to do the training plan. I got to show up. There's also like a group coaching call component. I got to go run the thing. I'm going to meet all these people. It's going to be amazing. I know it's going to be amazing. And also massive resistance, all the excuses.Oh, but like the investment's bigger than I thought it was And I'm like, it has nothing to do with money, time, it's just about me actually committing and showing up. It's 100 percent that. It's, shit, if I say yes, when I say yes, I gotta show up. Okay, Bring it on, baby. It doesn't mean there's not fear and resistance, cause I have that. There's hesitation. I'm like, ooh, do I really want it? You know, I like playing this game with myself. Do I really? And I think that's very human of us too. To have that experience. But then when I think about it, I'm like, I don't want to do it.So that's why I'm going to sign up. It scares me. So that's why I'm going to sign up instead of what most people do, which is, well, the investments scary and, is resistant and they don't do it, but that's not what makes freaking unstoppable force of a person, you know, Yeah, I feel like a big reason why people don't do it is because they don't fully trust themselves and it's all parallel, right?the way that you approach any situation and especially, you know, uncomfortable situation. So things that you've never done before, that will also, or that has the power to translate into your business.So when a similar feeling arises in your business, you have the capacity to hold it and to navigate it from a really grounded space versus have the circumstance overtake you. Yeah. I mean, what you said is like. It's so perfect. it's exactly that. Even if I think about it in the context of business, right?And say you've only gotten five or 10 people in your program and you want to go bigger, right? You're like, I want to have 20 people. I don't have 30 people. I don't have 50 people, or I've only had, X amount of, people download this podcast or whatever, just for metric sake, right? It's. Asking yourself the question. Well, do I actually feel like I can handle it? Do I? Because if not, if you don't feel like you can handle it, you won't be given it. But if you tell yourself, I can handle it or I will figure out how to handle it, or I will bring in supplemental resources in terms of people to help me handle it.Then you will handle it. But it is usually a support and capacity issue, which is like, if we're talking about scaling businesses right now, I'm in a very interesting middle space where I'm jumping to a whole new level and it requires a whole new level of support in every area of my life because I can't literally hold The next level without having more support, bigger team, more like a person teaching me, helping me with fitness and mindset, business strategy over here, team stuff over here.Like there's so many more things and it's Like you start going up and up and up and it goes wider and wider. And that means you need more hands to hold the vision and the mission. And my mission is very big. You know this, but the bigger your mission and the bigger your vision and the bigger you want to go.The more capacity you need to have, you can build your own internal capacity, but it's also allowing yourself to receive support from other people who are going to, you're going to basically disperse your capacity for other people to also hold. To fruition, you're going to have more and more people under the base of you holding you so that you can soar and rise and you guys are all going to go together. And so, yeah, I think there's also that element too, of kind of surrendering control and knowing that you can't do it alone. And also it's way more fun doing it with support and nobody is creating anything great in this world without support, whether it's in the form of coaches, mentors, or other ways of support too. Your capacity to hold your leadership because. Receiving support is one thing, but then being able to also navigate all of the different personalities and anything else that arises, like, yes, we have control of ourselves, but we do not have control of other people. So it also is asking us to step into a different level of leadership and be able to communicate in a way that actually holds the other person high and not diminishes whatever their experiences.Yeah. I mean, that's the word is like communication. I think communication is one of the most important skills and it's not always a skill I had. I grew up with, I think my mom probably has a lot of repressed anger. Like I love her to death, but I think like there was a lot of passive aggressive, like language or the whole generation over there.Yeah. Like let's be real. So many women. but that's how I communicated. I never said actually what it is or what I wanted very directly. Honestly, it wasn't until probably the past year that maybe two years that I really started realizing what I needed and who I needed to be in order to be in leadership, right?And have a team and have many people in one space and hold that, be able to, if someone has an issue, be able to see them, hear them. Love them, understand them, and also hold them in their power. And not gaslight, diminish, like you said, any of that. But actually hold space for that. And I do think there's a lot of skills we cannot talk about all today.But there's a lot of skills for leadership that are required that we should be taught in fucking school. You know? How to How to hold space. How to have two differing perspectives and hold the other person with love and in their power. And not judge them, shame them. Gaslight them, hold them and ask yourself and go inward and say, can I see this differently?Is there an opportunity? Is there any truth in what this person is saying? You know, I've had, I've had this happen where maybe a client has said something and I'm like, thank you for saying that I receive, I take full responsibility and I'm going to show up and do better. And I don't, I think there's a, a way to be a leader with soul and heart.And there's a way to be a leader with ego of I'm always right. You're wrong. I do my best always to show up with that love and to see people as also humans and hearts and all of that, and really hold space for that and not make people wrong. Cause that's never like, that's not the goal.It's not to make people wrong. It's to find that common ground. Yes. I love that. What would you say are some of your non negotiable practices that support you in having the capacity to hold yourself and then also your team? I love this. one of the main things that I'm doing right now, I've done this practice maybe for the last five years on and off, but it's really important for me to do it right now is kind of a twofold manifestation practice if you want to call it that.but one is scripting. So writing from the future in the present tense. So it's actually affirming to myself. the things that I want, but also the way that I'm showing up. So it could be as simple as writing down, I can handle this next jump in success. I am able to hold it. I can find the people and the resources and the time and the energy and the things to be able to hold it and be there.And I got it right. Just like constantly affirming to myself that I got it. And with that, the second piece is, I do a lot of like, I mean, we talk about this inside of the mastermind, but like future tripping and kind of like future self shit. and so I often, I think people talk about dissociation in a bad way.Cause it's like, could be like a trauma thing. Where if you're dissociating and you're leaving your body, it's not good. And you need to be in your body. I actually, I feel like. I dissociate on purpose to be that next level of me now and see what it feels like and then come back into my present self and be like, Oh, huh, how do I get those in congruence and be her now?And so I think it's constantly like throughout the day, even when I'm going for a walk, I go for a lot of walks. Acting, thinking, being, and feeling, the most important part, feeling, the next level of whatever it is. Success, money, wealth, capacity, client load, love, abundance, joy, in my physical body.I am anchoring those feelings into my body often as possible. So I wake up, I feel it. That's like my non negotiable. As often as I can throughout the day, especially on walks, because it's easy. you know how there's like the hot girl walk? But it's more like my future self walk, where I'm walking with each step.I'm like, I'm a walking boss. I love this. My leadership skills are top notch. Our clients are getting epic results. I'm getting epic results. Like, like everything is flowing. I'm so supportive. Like I will affirm things. I will feel it. I will see it. I'm on stage. I'm the number one podcast. Like I do these crazy things. is how Tony Robbins created Tony Robbins. Of course. Like he literally was priming himself first thing in the morning and then using incantations of exactly how he wanted to experience his life and who he gets to be in order to receive whatever he was desiring. And I'm I want to literally explode when I'm like, wait, guys. This can change everything. If you don't do anything else, literally you can go fuck off anywhere, but if you only do this, your life will transform. Literally. it's so wild how I feel like I spent the last eight years in extreme personal growth camp, basically, with investing in all the mentors and being in all the things, and I'm like, we should, this is it.It's feeling and being it now. This is it. This is it. be it now, and then you have the results. They do have. And I know you're about that as well, but the more you can embody on a cellular level, talk like her, walk like her, move like her, dress like her, And you'd be surprised at how she looks.I used to think I was gonna like, wear all these suits or some shit. And then I'm like, that's not me. I can wear them, they're fun. But actually, I'm kind of like, a beanie and like, whatever. Like, I like hats. How you look now. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, I can be wildly fucking successful and make massive impact in a sports bra and a beanie.You don't have to change what you look like unless you want to. But actually, it's just about being you, bully. You Full send, show up as her, right now, let that be enough, and then act like her, talk like her, walk like her, move like her. That's why I'm gonna go run 22 miles in the Tetons, cause when I think about me, on stage, in the capacity that I will be on stage, I'm gonna be unstoppable, and I'm gonna feel so fucking good in my body, and I ask myself, how would I get there?I'm not gonna have done that by myself, cause, I just can't push myself like that. so I'm gonna hire somebody to help me, you know, like, of course, that's what I did. I can't wait to witness the journey and who you become on the other side of it. I mean, you're already such a badass.Watch out world. I agree. Thank you. I appreciate, I know, yo, what is going to happen? I'm nervous, in the best way. Oh my God, the world. I don't know.I don't know what's going to go down, but I know it can only be up. You know, it's only up from here. Yeah. I'm curious to hear your perception in regards to. Collapsing the timeline between that version of yourself that you're stepping into while still navigating the 3d reality. So do you ever get those moments when you don't feel like doing it or when like literally everything is falling apart in your world and you just, you're not in the space to remember these practices. Yeah. I mean, I think there's a Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called the tipping point. And I feel like whether we use the analogy of the tipping point or the line in the sand, I do feel like everyone as an entrepreneur has either a line in the sand or a tipping point moment where after a certain point, you have been doing this long enough to already be in the momentum of it.Where the beginning is the hardest part. You have no skills, you don't have the mindset and you don't have the character traits to scale, to go, to show up to full send when you're already in the act of it, it's much easier. It's also the hardest because you have no momentum. You're in straight up inertia. There's no evidence for what you're creating. You literally are operating on faith. And I have a very strong connection to source or whatever you want to call it, God. And I have always been of the belief that it is inevitable that your dreams, goals, all of that will come true.As long as you keep showing up and acting as if you take messy action and you have radical delusional amounts of self belief and trust, because there is a time. To plant the seeds and then there is a time to harvest. And a lot of people want harvest season without this planting the seed season. And so, I think humbling yourself to the process, because I'm impatient as fuck too, also.Like, I just have to say, I'm so impatient. I'm like, Why am I not making 5 million dollars in a day yet? And, you know, I'm so good. And also, being like, okay, patience. Can we enjoy the journey? There's no rush. But also, what the fuck, you know? Like, holding both. So to answer your question, yes, of course I have moments and I have so many practices that I don't forget to use them because this is literally the work I teach and I am the living embodiment of it and I do them every day.I am constantly anchoring myself back into abundance. I'm always looking for evidence. Of being supported. I'm always looking for evidence that it is working. And when you, Ben Hardy talks about this in his book, The Gap in the Game. when you focus, Abraham Hicks talks about this on what you focus on, you get, when you focus on what is going well, all the momentum you have created, how you have shown up for yourself, celebrating your wins, being like Sam and focusing on the good, you receive more good.And so that is the practice I'm continually in by constantly celebrating myself. writing down my wins, sharing them with my community, you guys in the mastermind, talking about it publicly, being in the energy of celebration and recognition and focusing on abundance, not lack, will be a snowball for more momentum, more abundance, more overflow.And so you have to hold the faith really fucking hard at the beginning, really hard, even when there's no evidence and trust and trust. And then there's going to be this one moment where it's like everything. It's like a fucking windfall. You're like, and it's because it's like, you're adding sand to the bucket and it doesn't feel like it's adding up.And then all of a sudden the bucket starts overflowing and you're like, Oh, it's because you've been adding sand the whole time, but it wasn't until it was overflowing that you got to see. And I just had a moment like this literally yesterday. So timely where. There was a lull, and this happens at every level in business, lull. Then, what happened? like, two ti two times, maybe even three, of what we made last month happened in one day. In a 24 hour span. that's the power of collapsing time and quantity, I had to hold the faith that it was working in all the days that I didn't see the evidence. that's going to happen at every level, whether you go from making zero dollars to all of a sudden, I went to my first client.Oh my fucking god. To, okay, you know, the business is doing good. Clients coming in. And then all of a sudden you're like, Oh my god. Holy shit. Like, like the tsunami is like, you're like, like preparing and you're like gathering the team. So just knowing that it is all adding up. There's no, there's no possible way you can go to the gym and work out five times a week and not see progress.And eat well, like do all the things you know you need to do and eat well and not have there be evidence. Now, some people need to know what to do, so, okay, cool, but most people just need to fucking chill out, trust, show up, and be in the energy of it working, because energy is so important. So important. One of my favorite quotes is, don't give up right before the miracle. I love that. Because literally, we never know when that moment happens. Yeah, I love that like it really it does speak to the magic of life of like you don't know and what if instead of letting that unknown piece be something that irritates you and makes you feel like shit to use existential kink to basically be in that mystery in the unknown and be like, okay. You know, like how to be fun, how to be playful be like, I wonder. What's going to happen today? I wonder what all the magic and miracles are going to happen today. Who am I going to meet today? What am I going to, and when you live life like that, which I feel like this is how I've created everything that I've created of like, Just being open to life surprising the shit out of you in the best way ever, and also taking action.it's not like you just sit back and do nothing. but you're open to it being magical. You're open to it being wildly beyond anything that you could ever put on a piece of paper. And just being like, what if? Today, I made 500, 000. some insane thing, right? And I think often we put limits on ourselves and boxes on ourselves and we don't allow ourselves to set these insane impossible goals because we don't want to be disappointed and we don't want to feel like shit when we don't reach it.But, what if you set that insane goal and then it happened? Or what if you actually hit half of that? It's like ten times bigger than you would have let yourself dream. So who cares? Nobody's looking at your goals and saying, You didn't reach it. Just go big. Always. Delulu. It's true. Be delusional about your life. Be delusional about what's possible. And say fuck you to the little voice that tells you otherwise. Yeah. And just tell that little voice. Because that little voice is just scared. Just be like, hey, look, I know you've been operating in the 3D. linear time but we about to get quantum up in this bitch we about to get delusional and so you gotta get on my back get in my backpack we're gonna zip it up i will strap you in but we're going Like the rocket ship emoji.do whatever you need to do. Grab a fucking sippy cup. Get in my backpack and let's go. Cause I'm taking over this ship and we're going. You know? Awesome. I can listen to you literally 24 7. dude, you know what's funny? Can I tell you something funny?this morning I had this like, huge download. And I'm like, yo, I'm gonna make. Besides the podcast, obviously I have my podcast, right? But I'm going to make a little, I don't even know what, where I just go on these riffs. It's going to be like kind of a membership, but like, where I'm just like, guys, Oh my God.Yeah. Just like little injection. Remember who the fuck you are injections. Yes. Like exactly. So stay tuned for that. Cause it's coming soon. Well, thank you so much for sharing all of you. And where can people find you? I would say, the podcast is a great place. Like, that's where people really flock to the Sam Altieri show. On Instagram is where I love connecting with you guys on DMs. I also started using Facebook. You just type in my name anywhere and you will find me. I would say podcast, Instagram, and Facebook are where I'm mostly at. And, yeah, excited to connect with everyone and come say hi, follow along, and let's fuck around and find out

The American West is filled with crazy little snow pockets, lesser-known mountain ranges spiraling off the vast plateaus. Much of this land falls under the purview of the United States Forest Service. In the decades immediately before and after World War II, the agency established most of our large western ski areas within its 193 million-acre kingdom. That's a lot of land – approximately the size of Texas – and it's not all snowy. Where there is snow, there's not always roads, nor even the realistic possibility of plowing one through. Where there are roads, there aren't always good exposures or fall lines for skiing.So our ski areas ended up where they are because, mostly, those are the best places nature gave us for skiing. Obviously it snows like hell in the Wasatch and the Tetons and the Sierra Nevadas. Anyone with a covered wagon could have told you that. But the Forest Service's map of its leased ski areas is dotted with strange little outposts popping out of what most of us assume to be The Flats:What to make of Brian Head, floating alone in southern Utah? Or Mt. Lemmon, rising over Tucson? Or Ski Apache and Cloudcroft, sunk near the bottom of New Mexico? Or the ski areas bunched and floating over Los Angeles? Or Antelope Butte, hanging out in the Wyoming Bighorns?Somewhere, in some government filing cabinet 34 floors deep in a Washington, D.C. bunker, are hand-annotated topo maps and notebooks left behind by the bureaucrat-explorers who determined that these map dots were the very best for snowsportskiing. And somewhere, buried where I'll probably never find it, is the story of Bluewood.It's one of our more improbable ski centers. Not because it shouldn't be there, but because most of us can't imagine how it could be. Most Washington and Oregon ski areas line up along the Cascades, stacked south to north along the states' western thirds. The snow smashes into these peaks and then stops. Anyone who's driven east over the passes has encountered the Big Brown Endless on the other side. It's surreal, how fast the high alpine falls away.But as Interstate 90 arcs northeast through this rolling country and toward Spokane, it routes most travelers away from the fecund Umatilla National Forest, one of those unexpected islands of peaks and green floating above our American deserts. Here, in this wilderness just to the west of Walla Walla but far from just about everything else, 300 inches of snow stack up in an average winter. And this is where you will find Bluewood.The Umatilla sprawls over two states and 1.4 million acres, and is home to three ski areas (Anthony Lakes and inactive Spouts Springs, both in Oregon, are the other two). Three map dots in the wilderness, random-looking from above, all the final product of years in the field, of hardy folks pushing ever-deeper into the woods to find The Spot. This is the story of one of them.What we talked aboutGrowing up Wenatchee; “the mountains are an addiction”; THE MACHINE at Mammoth; Back-In-The-Day Syndrome; Mammoth's outsized influence on Alterra Mountain Company; how the Ikon Pass strangely benefited Mammoth; the accidental GM; off the grid; Bluewood and southeast Washington's unique little weather pattern; “everybody that knows Bluewood comes for the trees”; why the Forest Service is selling a bunch of Bluewood's trees; massive expansion potential; when your snowline is 50 feet above your base area and you have no snowmaking; the winter with no snow; Skyline Basin and dreams that never happened; ambitious lift-upgrade plans; summer and “trying to eliminate the six-month revenue drought”; “if you take the North American lifts right now, they're only coming out because they're pieces of crap”; potential future chairlifts; Bluewood's owners and their long-term vision; mountaintop lodging potential; whether night skiing could ever happen; power by biomass; the Indy Pass; Southeast Washington ski culture; free buddy tickets with your season pass; Bluewood's season pass reciprocal program; why Bluewood's lift ticket prices are so low; and the absolute killer expense for small ski areas.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewOne of the more useful habits I've developed is attending offseason media events and consumer ski shows, where ski area managers and marketers tend to congregate. The regional gatherings, where mountain booths are stacked side by side like boxes in a cereal aisle, are particularly useful, allowing me to connect with reps from a dozen or more resorts in an hour. Such was the setup at the Snowvana “stoke event” in Portland, Oregon last November, which I attended both to host a panel of ski area general managers and to lay deeper roots in the rabid Pacific Northwest.Two podcasts emerged directly from connections I made that day: my February conversation with Red Mountain CEO Howard Katkov, and this one, with Korfiatis.So that's the easy answer: a lot of these podcasts happen simply because I was finally able to connect with whomever runs the mountain. But there's a certain amount of serendipity at work as well: Bluewood, right now, is on the move.This is a ski area that is slowly emerging from the obscurity I caged it into above. It has big-picture owners, an energetic general manager, a growing nearby population, and megapass membership. True, it also has no snowmaking and outdated, slow chairlifts. But the big, established ski centers to its west are overwhelmed, exhausted, and, with a few exceptions, probably un-expandable. Bluewood could be a big-deal alternative to this mess if they can do what Korfiatis says they want to do.There are a lot of millions standing between vision and reality here. But sometimes crazy s**t happens. And if it goes down at Bluewood, I want to make sure we're sitting right there watching it happen.What I got wrongI said that Mammoth was an independent mountain when Korfiatis arrived there in 2000. This is incorrect. Intrawest owned a majority stake in Mammoth from 1997 to 2006.Why you should ski BluewoodUsually, when casual skiers ask me where they ought to vacation, their wishlist includes someplace that's relatively easy to get to, where they can stay slopeside, where the snow will probably be good [whenever their kids' spring break is], and that is a member of [whatever version of the Epic or Ikon pass they purchased]. I give them a list of places that would not be a surprising list of places to anyone reading this newsletter, always with this qualifier: expect company.I like big destination ski areas. Obviously. I can navigate or navigate around the crowds. And I understand that 24-chairlifts-and-a-sushi-bar is exactly what your contemporary megapass patron is seeking. But if someone were to flip the question around and ask me which ski area characteristics were likely to give them the best ski experience, I'd have a very different answer for them.I'd tell them to seek out a place that's hard to get to, where you find a motel 40 miles away and drive up in the morning. Make it a weekday morning, as far from school breaks as possible. And the further you get from Epkon branding, the farther you'll be from anything resembling a liftline. That's the idea with Bluewood.“Yeah but it's only 1,100 vertical feet.”Yeah but trust me that's plenty when most of your runs are off-piste and you can ski all day without stopping except to ride the lift.“But no one's ever heard of it and they won't be impressed with my Instastory.”You'll live.“But it's not on my Ultimo-Plus Pass.”Lift tickets are like $50. Or $66 on weekends. And it's on the Indy Pass.“But it's such a long drive.”No it isn't. It's just a little bit farther than the busier places that you usually go to. But it's not exactly in Kazakhstan.“Now you're just making things up.”Often, but not that.Podcast NotesOn Bluewood's masterplanHere's the basic map:And the lift inventory wishlist:On Mission Ridge and WenatcheeKorfiatis grew up in Wenatchee, which sits below Mission Ridge. That mountain, coincidentally, is the subject of an already-recorded and soon-to-be-released podcast, but here's the trailmap for this surprisingly large mountain in case you're not familiar with it:On Mission Ridge's expansionAgain, I go deep on this with Mission CEO Josh Jorgensen on our upcoming pod, but here's a look at the ski area's big proposed expansion, which Korfiatis and I discuss a bit on the show:And here's an overhead view:On “The Legend of Dave McCoy”The Dave McCoy that Korfiatis refers to in the pod is the founder of Mammoth Mountain, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 104. Here's a primer/tribute video:Rusty Gregory, who ran Mammoth for decades, talked us through McCoy's legacy in a 2021 Storm Skiing Podcast appearance (18:08):On Kim Clark, Bluewood's last GMIn September 2021, Bluewood GM Kim Clark died suddenly on the mountain of a heart attack. From SAM:Longtime industry leader and Bluewood, Wash., general manager Kim Clark died of an apparent heart attack while working on the mountain Tuesday. He was 65. Clark had been the Bluewood GM since 2014.In a statement sharing the news of Clark's death, Bluewood said, “significant rescue efforts were unsuccessful. Kim passed away doing what he loved, with people he loved, on the mountain he loved.”Clark was an influential leader during his career in the mountain resort industry, much of which was spent at resorts in the Pacific Northwest. He is remembered by his peers as a mentor, a teacher, and a leader with a passion for the industry who cared deeply for the teams he led and the resorts he helped to improve.Prior to becoming GM at Bluewood, Clark led Mt. Ashland, Ore., as its general manager from 2005 to 2014.On the Tri-Cities of WashingtonImagine this: I'm 18 years old and some dude on the lift at Copper Mountain asks me where I'm from. I say “Michigan” and he says “where” and I say, “the Tri-Cities area” and he says “what on earth is that?” And I say “Oh you've never heard of the Tri-Cities?” as though he'd just told me he'd never heard of Paris. And he's like “no, have you ever heard of the Quad Cities?” Which apparently are four cities bunched along the Iowa-Illinois border around Interstate 80 and the Mississippi River.It was my first real-time lesson in hyper-regionalism and how oft-repeated information becomes so ingrained that we assume everyone must share it, like the moon or the wind. The Tri-Cities of Michigan are Bay City, Saginaw, and Midland. But no one who doesn't live there knows this or cares, and so after that chairlift conversation, I started saying that I was from “two hours north of Detroit,” which pretty much every American understands.Anyway imagine my surprise to learn that America had room for a second Tri-Cities, this one in Washington. I asked the robots to tell me about it and this is what they said:The Tri-Cities are three closely linked cities (Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland)[2][3] at the confluence of the Yakima, Snake, and Columbia Rivers in the Columbia Basin of Eastern Washington. The cities border one another, making the Tri-Cities seem like one uninterrupted mid-sized city. The three cities function as the center of the Tri-Cities metropolitan area, which consists of Benton and Franklin counties.[4] The Tri-Cities urban area consists of the city of West Richland, the census-designated places (CDP) of West Pasco, Washington and Finley, as well as the CDP of Burbank, despite the latter being located in Walla Walla County.The official 2016 estimate of the Tri-Cities MSA population is 283,869, a more than 12% increase from 2010. 2016 U.S. MSA estimates show the Tri-Cities population as over 300,000. The combined population of the three principal cities themselves was 220,959 at the 2020 census. As of April 1, 2021, the Washington State Office of Financial Management, Forecasting Division estimates the cities as having a combined population of 224,640.[5]And actually, it turns out that there are tri-cities all over the country. So what the hell do I know? When I moved east to New York in 2002, it took me about five years to figure out what the “Tri-State Area” was. For a long time I thought it must be New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. But it is New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, from which many people commute into NYC daily to work.On Scot Schmidt For those of you who don't know who “that guy” Scot Schmidt is:On the Greyhawk lift at Sun ValleyKorfiatis refers to the “Greyhawk lift” at Sun Valley as an example of a retiring high-speed quad that is unlikely to have a useful second life. He was referring to this lift, which from 1988 until last year ran parallel to the monster Challenger lift:Last summer, Sun Valley replaced both lifts with one Challenger six-pack with a mid-station, and built a new high-speed quad called Flying Squirrel (which replaced a shorter double chair of the same name that met death-by-fire in 2014):On the number of Washington ski areasWashington, while home to several legendary ski areas, does not have nearly as many as its growing, active population needs. Of the state's 17 active ski areas, five operate only surface lifts, and I'm not even certain whether one of them – Badger Mountain – operated this past ski season. Sitzmark also failed to spin its lift. There are really only nine volume-capable ski areas in the state: 49 Degrees North, Crystal, Mission Ridge, Baker, Mt. Spokane, Stevens Pass, Summit, Alpental, and White Pass. Here's an inventory:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing all year long.

On this week's episode: A local nonprofit stepped up to try to make Teton Pass more safe, by running a shuttle for recreationists. Also, in Eastern Idaho, a streak of avalanche deaths among snowmobilers has revealed forecasting gaps, but some are trying to change that. And, on both sides of the Tetons, men are gathering in groups to get mental and emotional support, in the wake of a community tragedy. Plus, in our new KHOL series on the workers making Jackson run, we shadow a Spanish language interpreter in our public schools, who's trying to bring more Latino families into the fold.   Jackson Unpacked airs locally at 89.1 FM or via live-stream Mondays at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and Fridays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Support Jackson's only nonprofit newsroom by becoming a member of KHOL today.

Kevin Krasnow is the Conservation Director at the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, a long-standing, highly effective organization whose mission is to “protect the wildlife, wild places, and community character of Jackson Hole.” For more than four decades, the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance has been a staunch advocate for keeping Jackson Hole wild and beautiful, and it has proven to be a nimble and creative protector of the legendary Wyoming valley. The organization has served as a watchdog against poorly planned development, a champion for public land, a community voice that holds elected officials accountable, and much more. - Kevin brings a fascinating and diverse professional background to his work at the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance– he's worked as an Outward Bound instructor, a high school teacher, a college professor, and, most notably, he earned a Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management from the University of California Berkley. Prior to joining the team at the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, he worked for ten years at the Teton Science Schools in Jackson. As you'll hear in our conversation, Kevin is a high-level expert in forest and wildfire ecology, and he speaks eloquently about the role of wildfires in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and beyond. - When I first headed out West from North Carolina nearly twenty years ago, I moved to Jackson Hole— and I will always have a tender spot in my heart for that particular area. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with Kevin and talk about all things related to ecology, wildlife, fire, and conversation in Jackson Hole. We started with a deep dive into Aspen trees, and why they are such an important and unique part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We discussed the Yellowstone Fire of 1988 and how that disaster shaped forest management in the future. We discussed the unprecedented development pressure in and around Jackson, how Kevin and his organization collaborate with a wide range of conservation partners, his professional journey from indirect to direct conservation work, and how his career as an educator informs his work today. - If you've ever spent time in the Tetons, Yellowstone, or the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, then you're going to learn a lot from Kevin.
