660. Today we're joined by writer and cultural historian Brian Fairbanks, author of “Wizards: David Duke, America's Wildest Election, and the Rise of the Far Right.” In this book, Fairbanks delivers a vivid account of David Duke's 1991 run for governor of Louisiana — a campaign that shocked the country and revealed how extremist politics could slip into the mainstream. Through sharp reporting and a storyteller's eye, he reconstructs the chaos, the media frenzy, and the deeper social tensions that made that election a turning point in modern American politics. Fairbanks brings that same clarity to a very different American saga in “Willie, Waylon, and the Boys: How Nashville Outsiders Changed Country Music.” Here he traces the rise of the outlaw movement, showing how Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and their circle pushed back against Nashville's rigid studio system and reshaped the sound and soul of country music. He explores the rebellion, the artistry, and the cultural moment that allowed these musicians to redefine authenticity and leave a lasting imprint on American music. Beyond these two major works, Brian Fairbanks has built a reputation as a writer who connects individual stories to the larger forces shaping American life.

Heloise Hulse Cruzat wrote an article on the history of the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans.      You have been told in eloquent periods of the founding of New Orleans, of its subsequent development, and I am to be the humble interpreter of another intimate chapter of its history: THE SHARE WOMEN TOOK IN ITS ESTABLISHMENT.      Can we mention the French colonial days without recalling the URSULINES, who by their unfaltering courage and their steady and efficient work, incorporated their history into that of our fair city.      Bienville realized that New Orleans would never attain his dream of greatness without education, and especially such an education of the female youth as would give worthy wives and mothers to the colonists. With this end in view, he intrusted to the Jesuit, Father de Beaubois, the care of choosing these educators. How successfully this mission was accomplished by his selection of the Ursulines of Rouen, the two past centuries have demonstrated.       A contract was signed by the Company of the Indies and the Ursulines, approved by brevet signed by Louis XV, and on February 22nd, 1727, Mother St. Augustin, Tranchepain, with eight professed nuns, a novice and two postulants sailed on the Gironde from L'Orient. This week in Louisiana history. January 9, 1877 Both Democrat Francis T. Nicholls and Republican Stephen B. Packard claim victory in election for governor; both take oath of office. This week in New Orleans history. Andrew Jackson arrived on board the steamer “Vicksburg” on January 8, 1840 at ten o'clock in the morning, landing at the Carrollton wharf, where an immense throng had assembled to welcome “the most distinguished citizen of the country.”  The specific reason for his presence was that a cornerstone was to be laid, commemorating his victories in the Battle of New Orleans, a quarter of a century before. General Jackson laid the cornerstone in the Place d'Armes, on January 9, 1840. It was not until some years later that the monument decided upon was the one of Jackson, designed by Clark Mills, which stands in the center of the ancient parade grounds for the troops. This statue has been called the “center piece of one of the finest architectural sittings in the world.” (NOPL) This week in Louisiana. January 10, 2026.

In this episode of the Agents of Recovery Podcast, Coach Blu and Wendell explore a decisive shift in how to relate to emotional triggers in mental health and addiction recovery. Rather than treating triggers as threats to avoid, they frame them as trailheads—valuable starting points that lead to deeper self-understanding and lasting change.Episode OverviewCoach Blu and Wendell unpack the idea that triggers are not the problem; they are signals. When something activates a strong emotional response, it often points to an unresolved experience, belief, or wound asking for attention. By slowing down and getting curious instead of reactive, recovery becomes less about control and more about discovery.Throughout the conversation, they share grounded, real-world examples of how triggers show up in daily life and recovery spaces. From interpersonal conflict to internal self-talk, they demonstrate how asking why you feel the way you do can open the door to insight, self-compassion, and freedom.Key Themes Explored- Triggers as information, not danger, and how reframing them reduces shame and fear - Curiosity as a recovery skill, replacing avoidance with awareness - The difference between managing symptoms and understanding sources - How emotional reactions often point to unmet needs or past experiences - Practical ways to pause, reflect, and learn from triggering momentsThis episode is a reminder that every trigger holds potential insight, and that a bit of curiosity can go a long way toward meaningful, sustainable recovery.Join Coach Blu and Team Addict II Athlete and begin your recovery with a tram behind you!

Downtown Bentonville just got a new reason to rally. We sit down with the force behind Fry, a hidden-in-plain-sight bar at 100 SW 2nd Street, built on a simple promise: keep prices fair, keep service quick, and make it easy for people to gather. Think a $7 old fashioned, a lunch-and-a-pint target around $12, and a menu anchored by focaccia-based “fry pies” designed for speed without sacrificing flavor.We unpack the location's advantages, it's steps from First Seat, Barley & Vine, and a cluster of downtown favorites, plus it has two patios that can shift from mellow afternoons to lively nights. The beer plan is purposefully tight: two house drafts, Fry Heavy and Fry Light, crafted with Trailhead. Packaged standbys will be there too, because inclusivity matters. The limited taps keep quality consistent and wait times low, taking a page from classic two-choice beer halls while leaving room to rotate specialties as production scales.You'll also hear the surprising origin of the name: a seahorse story that became a brand anchor and a reminder to keep going when plans fall through. From permitting wins and fast buildout to pop-up music on a compact front stage and a larger east patio that could host 100-plus by spring, the roadmap is clear. The bigger theme, though, is collaboration over competition. Our guest and Trailer Tony break down how breweries, bars, and neighbors turns a district into a destination and helps everyone grow in step with Arkansas's evolving landscape.Want first dibs on opening night and VIP tastings?

JD is joined by Keenan (Overlanding with Intention), Calvin (SRG Offroad), and Fran Adler (Fran's JK Adventures) for a laid-back final check-in with the crew for the year. The crew trades travel plans (SEMA, Overland Expo, and next year's Trail Hero), talks about making The Trailhead more mobile, and then slides into the real holiday tradition: diagnosing Jeeps that hate cold weather—aux-battery delete tips, mystery codes, and the never-ending rear main seal saga. They wrap this show with night-run talk, mapping tools like Trails Offroad and onX, and the big question: why not record episodes from actual trailheads?

For the final episode of 2025, Zoë and Brendan share their own year-end reflections, summits, snacks, and slogs,  including Zoë's experience hitchhiking to the start line of a 78-mile race in Italy, arriving 90 seconds before the gun went off to stand between Kilian Jornet and Jim Walmsley in a downpour that would last 15 hours. Then they pull their favorite moments from this year's interviews. You'll hear coach Mario Fraoli explain why the marathon is where racing ends and insanity begins. Steve Magness on why running might be the healthiest cult you can join. Alex Hutchinson on the effort paradox, why we value things because they're hard, not in spite of it. Sabrina Little on running as a laboratory for virtue. And Dan Lieberman, who co-authored the original "Born to Run" research, telling Zoë and Brendan to their faces that ultra running is absolutely, completely, and totally bizarre. Thanks for spending 2025 with The Trailhead. See you on the trails in 2026.

Raziq Rauf didn't set out to become a running writer, he set out to avoid burnout as a music journalist covering London's metal and hardcore scene. Now, through his newsletter Running Sucks, he brings that same critical eye to the running industry, asking where authentic culture ends and brand activations begin. We talk about his transition from music journalism to running writing, how to spot the difference between meaningful community and manufactured hype, and discover there's exactly one death metal cowboy concept album in existence, the perfect metaphor for niche subcultures like running. This episode is brought to you by Running Warehouse, helping you stay warm and visible through winter with jackets, headlamps, and gear that keeps you honest about getting out the door. Our featured race is the Zion Ultras on April 11th, 2026, five distances through desert mesas with thousand-foot sandstone cliffs. Registration closes April 8th at UltraSignup.com.  The Trailhead is part of the UltraSignup Podcast Network.

Send us a textThe sport we love is growing up, and that's a good thing—if we build it right. I'm joined by athlete and agent Nick Cornell of Trailhead Athlete Management to dig into what “professional” actually looks like in trail running: livable contracts, smarter bonuses, real anti-doping, and a path that lets athletes focus on performance without losing the grassroots soul that makes this community special.Nick shares how he went from thru-hiking the Triple Crown to winning Montana 50Ks and managing athletes who train 20 hours a week while juggling logistics, content, deliverables, and travel. We unpack what brands want beyond results—genuine people with presence—and why short trail deserves more investment alongside ultras. We also talk hard numbers: why most pros still sit in the low five figures, how a league minimum could change that, and where healthcare and PT stipends fit in. If you've wondered whether rumors of huge salaries are real, or how to negotiate your first deal, Nick gives grounded, practical insight.We go deep on legitimacy and the World Mountain and Trail Championships—federations offering team camps and big bonuses, the realities of kit rules, and why national team results should be bonused just like track. From out-of-competition testing to non-endemic sponsors—cars, banks, tourism boards, food brands—we explore the funding models that could unlock full-time careers without sidelining local races. The takeaway is hopeful: keep the watermelon at aid stations and the big stages on the calendar. With smarter structure, everyone wins.If this conversation helped you think differently about the future of trail running, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review.

In this reflective episode of The Trailhead, JD and the crew address “The Incident,” an unexpected Jeep accident that tested everyone's focus, teamwork, and community spirit. They open up about what happened, how they responded, and the outpouring of support that followed from fellow off-roaders. The team talks about how the Jeep was ultimately recovered by the famous Matt's Off-Road Recovery, a reminder of the incredible network that exists within the off-road world. It's a candid and heartfelt conversation that sheds light on safety, camaraderie, and how quickly the off-road family rallies when things go wrong. The team also talks about lessons learned on and off the trail, the gear that helped when it mattered most, and what comes next for the show.

We're nearing the summit in The Resiliency Quest podcast series. This week guest host Adam Mock continues his conversation with Dr. Doug McKinley—this time exploring one of the most misunderstood dimensions of resilient leadership: Boundaries.Boundaries are often mistaken for walls, but they're actually bridges to freedom. In leadership, if you're always available, you're never fully present. Dr. McKinley shares how burnout isn't caused by working too hard—it's caused by carrying what was never yours to begin with. When leaders fail to draw clear lines around their time, energy, and responsibility, they slowly lose clarity about who they are and what they stand for.In this conversation, Adam and Doug dive into the uncomfortable truth about people-pleasing, the courage it takes to say “no” without guilt, and why protecting your space is actually a gift to others—not a selfish act. If you've ever felt resentful, over committed, or like you're slowly disappearing beneath everyone else's needs, this trailhead might be your turning point.To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest,Mad About Us Visit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/ Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide

What kind of person dreams up the hardest race on earth, and then follows it up with one of the weirdest? This week on The Trailhead, Zoë and Brendan dive deep into the mind of Lazarus Lake, the man behind both the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra. Our guest, author Jared Beasley, joins to talk about his new book on Laz, unpacking the mystery, mischief, and mythology that made one man's backyard into a global endurance phenomenon. We explore what drives people to suffer on purpose, why Laz's races capture our collective imagination, and what they say about the culture of ultrarunning itself.

In this episode of The Resiliency Quest podcast series, guest host Adam Mock continues his discussion with Dr. Doug McKinley, diving into the next trailhead on the journey toward resilient leadership: Connection.At first glance, connection might seem like a soft skill—but in reality, it's the backbone of sustainable leadership. Leaders often find themselves isolated at the top, praised for independence but starving for authentic human connection. Dr. McKinley reminds us that resiliency isn't built in a vacuum. It grows in community, in honest conversations, in spaces where people feel seen and safe enough to be real.Doug and Adam talk about what happens when leaders trade performance for presence, and how vulnerability isn't a liability—it's a leadership advantage. They explore the shift from surface-level interaction to soul-level trust, and the quiet power of being known without needing to impress. If you've ever felt the ache of relational drift or the pressure to keep up a front, this conversation offers a refreshing alternative.Because in the end, the leaders who go the distance aren't the ones who muscle through alone—they're the ones who allow others to walk alongside them.To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest,Mad About Us Visit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/ Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide 

In this episode of Scratch, Ariel Kelman, President & CMO of Salesforce, shows how a category leader can still think like a challenger through the power of education, not persuasion. Education beats persuasion when you make community the flywheel: by pairing product truth with peer proof through events like Dreamforce, Trailhead, and forums, so customers learn how to win with your product (not just why it's great). That mindset turns advocacy into momentum.But teaching only lands if the tech actually works in the flow of “work”, so Ariel's rule is being able to put data before demos. He emphasizes the need to harmonize and govern customer data in Data Cloud so AI agents have context, then deploy them where they matter. For example, a product Q&A agent spun up in weeks drove 700k+ customer chats, and their website/service agents have resolved 1.6M cases because they understand real customer history, permissions, and next best actions.Finally, as a brand, you need to be Customer Zero and balance quick wins with long bets. Dogfood your offerings first to iterate fast and convert internal proofs into external playbooks, then scale what works. Watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube ▶️: https://youtu.be/92Rfv19ypQE

Harvard evolutionary biologist Dan Lieberman is the scientist whose work reshaped how we understand running. His research on human evolution helped popularize the idea that we're born to run, that our bodies, from our toes and tendons to our oversized glutes, are uniquely adapted for endurance. In this conversation, he joins Zoë and Brendan to explore what running reveals about being human. This week's featured race is the Naughty Hog 100k, 50k, 25k, 10k, and 5k! Dec 20. Register now! We dig into why ultrarunning is evolutionarily bizarre but still deeply natural, what persistence hunting really looked like, and how belly fat, treadmills-as-torture-devices, and even the barefoot craze all tie into our running story. It's part science lesson, part reminder that while we didn't evolve for nipple tape,  running is still one of the most human things we do. Thanks to LMNT for supporting The Trailhead!

Send us a textWhat if extra sleep at the trailhead didn't cost thousands or require a rooftop crane? We sit down with Kai Nevers and Kate Raber, the duo behind Wanderhut, to tell the story of a hatchback tent that deploys the moment you open your rear door—adding headroom, real ventilation, and bug-proof comfort without the hassle of pitching a tent in the dark. Born as a taped-up class project and validated by a stranger in a Home Depot parking lot, their design carries a simple promise: save time, breathe easier, and wake up ready for the adventure.We walk through the messy first prototype, the year-long quest to solve attachment (snaps for the win), and why focusing on the third-gen Subaru Outback became a superpower. Along the way, OSU Cascades and Bend Outdoor Works opened doors to mentors like former Nike design leader Naomi Morrison and industrial designer Ryan Price, whose hard-earned wisdom sharpened costing, positioning, and supply chain thinking. The result is a product that respects real-world constraints: it installs in minutes, lives in the car between trips, and hits a price point that welcomes new campers and overlanders without compromise.Under the gear talk is a human story about partnership, grit, and community. Kate's textile precision and Kai's big-picture push create the tension great products need. They're candid about cash flow, MOQs, tariff delays, and imposter syndrome—and how they keep the brand grounded by turning “marketing trips” into true resets outdoors. If you've ever chased vanlife comfort on a hatchback budget, this conversation offers practical insight, honest lessons, and a glimpse of what affordable, elegant outdoor design can look like.Subscribe, share with a friend who sleeps at trailheads, and leave a quick review to help more builders and weekend warriors find the show.

This week on The Trailhead, Zoë Rom and Brendan Leonard sit down with one of ultrarunning's most quietly legendary figures: Junko Kazukawa. A two-time Leadwoman, breast cancer survivor, and one of the few athletes to complete both the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning and the Leadwoman series in a single year, Junko's story is a masterclass in resilience and joy. Born in Sapporo, Japan, and now based in Denver, Junko shares how she started running in the U.S. after coming over as a student, how she trained through cancer treatments, and why she still lines up for 100- and 200-mile races at age 62. She talks about the identity and community she's built through the sport, how her view of fitness has evolved over decades, and why she believes “glutes are everything.” We also hear about her favorite races around the world, from the Tour de Géants to Mount Fuji, and what keeps her motivated to take on new challenges even as recovery gets harder with age.

Brendan Leonard is back for his third appearance on the podcast—this time recorded in person at his house in Missoula. Brendan's the creative mind behind Semi-Rad, and over the years, he's become a good friend and one of my most trusted advisors when it comes to creativity and building a life around the things you care about. He's a writer, illustrator, filmmaker, ultrarunner, teacher, and all-around creative machine—someone who's carved out a career by doing things his own way, with a healthy dose of humor and generosity. This episode is pretty much two friends sitting at a kitchen table having a laid-back chat about our long list of shared interests. We talk about everything from teaching writing and designing online courses, to the pros and cons of Substack, to how to market your work without feeling like a sellout. We dig into the practical side of creativity—how to make things, share them, and make a living—without losing the joy and weirdness that made you want to create in the first place. We also get into self-publishing vs. traditional publishing, why Brendan makes funny books like 15-Second Recipes, and why he believes that generosity, self-deprecation, and consistency matter more than flash or perfection. There's a lot here for anyone trying to make meaningful things in the margins of a busy life… or build a creative life from the ground up. If you're new to Brendan's work, be sure to check out his website, newsletter, and his earlier podcast episodes. I'd also specifically encourage you to check out his most recent book "Ultra-Something," his recent film "The Seven Summits of My Neighborhood," and the podcast he co-hosts, which is called "The Trailhead." There are links to everything in the episode notes. Brendan is one of the most thoughtful, practical, and humble voices out there when it comes to creative work, and I'm always better off after talking to him. Hope you enjoy. --- Brendan Leonard Semi-Rad Ultra-Something The Seven Summits of My Neighborhood The Trailhead podcast Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/brendan-leonard-3/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:11 - Brendan blowing out the speakers 3:47 - How Brendan got into teaching and early days at Freeflow 8:06 - Brendan's teachers 11:09 - The Feynman technique 14:10 - Substack versus a website 17:54 - The necessity of marketing yourself 20:53 - Keeping the voice 25:00 - Moving Brendan's writing course online 27:23 - Keeping it low-key 29:40 - Abundance vs. scarcity mentality 33:56 - Publisher vs. self-publishing 38:39 - Nickels and dimes of self-publishing 42:31 - Talking The Seven Summits of My Neighborhood 50:23 - Digging into the niches 51:55 - Curing the male loneliness epidemic 55:44 - Helping people with humor 58:43 - Treating others with respect 1:00:07 - Book recs --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
