No 'horsing' around today listeners! Because today's episode is featuring my teen! I'm so incredibly proud of this girl, and we have so much fun together. She is also an equine therapy instructor, which inspired her Community Service Initiative, 'Healing With Horses'. I have loved getting to know her over the last few months, so I hope you enjoy getting to know her in today's episode! Please welcome, Miss Whitefish's Teen 2025, Bella Ann Keller!

This is honestly one of the most remarkable, and extraordinary personal & professional transformations you will ever hear. If you've ever felt on the edge of giving up, overwhelmed, exhausted, anchored in burnout, or even wondering if your business or mission still matters… you need to hear this. It's hard to explain…unless you have ever been there. In today's episode, I sit down with longtime coaching client, gym owner, and my good friend Jeremy Gritton, who shares a story that gave me chills. Jeremy was one step away from walking away from his business. Burned out. Broken. Physically sick. Ready to quit. Energy completely zapped. Throw in the towel. Or not? One decision—showing up at the Montana Retreat last year—changed everything. Literally. You have to hear this story. In this episode, we unpack: How Jeremy hit rock bottom—and found his way out. The moment he knew he had to get help. How faith, coaching, and community helped him reclaim his ENERGY, purpose, and profit. What it really means to “Be in the room.” How he went on to double his business in the past few months. This is a raw, emotional, and wildly inspiring story of grit, resilience, faith, and getting back up when life knocks you down. If you're energy is shot right now, you're facing overwhelm and just not feeling like yourself—heck maybe you have even developed a bad attitude, don't like work anymore, and have even developed resentment towards your team or those around you, then LISTEN TO THIS. If you're not feeling this, LISTEN anyway—because it might be what helps you (or someone you know) avoid burnout. I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Jeremy Gritton for having the courage to share this story—and to his wife Brandy, Travis Barnes, Justin Roethlingshoefer, and every member of our coaching community who played a role in this turnaround. You never know who you're helping when you keep showing up and you're in the room! After the interview, I break down 7 powerful MINDSET strategies to help you prevent burnout and reignite your fire: 1. Give yourself permission to rest 2. Eliminate the overwhelm 3. Create your own optimization plan 4. Dial in your nighttime routine 5. Don't slack on your workouts 6. BE IN THE ROOM 7. Reawaken your dreams This episode is coaching for your heart, your health, your hustle—and your legacy.  Thanks for tuning in.

Threats from the invasive Quagga mussel species are growing in deeper parts of the Great Lakes, just as zebra mussels have altered ecosystems in shallower water closer to shore.

Too many people, up to five of whom are not me. Lacking a competent queue-management squad, chairs rise in loads of twos and threes above swarming lift mazes. If you're skiing the West, lowering the bar is practically an act of war. It's all so tedious. Given the option – Hunter, Winter Park, Camelback – I'll hop the parallel two-seater just to avoid the drama.I don't like six-packs, but I sure am impressed by them. Sixers are the chairlift equivalent of a two-story Escalade, or a house with its own private Taco Bell, or a 14-lane expressway. Like damn there's some cash floating around this joint.Sixers are common these days: America is home to 107 of them. But that wasn't always so. Thirty-two of these lifts came online in just the past three years. Boyne Mountain, Michigan built the first American six-pack in 1992, and for three years, it was the only such lift in the nation (and don't think they didn't spend every second reminding us of it). The next sixer rose at Stratton, in 1995, but 18 of the next 19 were built in the West. In 2000, Jiminy Peak demolished a Riblet double and dropped the Berkshire Express in its place.For 26 years, Jiminy Peak has owned the only sixer in the State of Massachusetts (Wachusett will build the second this summer). Even as they multiply, the six-pack remains a potent small-mountain status symbol: Vail owns 31 or them, Alterra 30. Only 10 independents spin one. Sixers are expensive to build, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage. To build such a machine is to declare: we are different, we can handle this, this belongs here and so does your money.Sixty years ago, Jiminy Peak was a rump among a hundred poking out of the Berkshires. It would have been impossible to tell, in 1965, which among these many would succeed. Plenty of good ski areas failed since. Jiminy is among the last mountains standing, a survival-of-the-fittest tale punctuated, at the turn of the century, by the erecting of a super lift that was impossible to look away from. That neighboring Brodie, taller and equal-ish in size to Jiminy, shuttered permanently two years later, after a 62-year run as a New England staple, was probably not a coincidence (yes, I'm aware that the Fairbanks themselves bought and closed Brodie). Jiminy had planted its 2,800-skier-per-hour flag on the block, and everyone noticed and no one could compete.The Berkshire Express is not the only reason Jiminy Peak thrives in a 21st century New England ski scene defined by big companies, big passes, and big crowds. But it's the best single emblem of a keep-moving philosophy that, over many decades, transformed a rust-bucket ski area into a glimmering ski resort. That meant snowmaking before snowmaking was cool, building places to stay on the mountain in a region of day-drivers, propping a wind turbine on the ridge to offset dependence on the energy grid.Non-ski media are determined to describe America's lift-served skiing evolution in terms of climate change, pointing to the shrinking number of ski areas since the era when any farmer with a backyard haystack and a spare tractor engine could run skiers uphill for a nickel. But this is a lazy narrative (America offers a lot more skiing now than it did 30 years ago). Most American ski areas – perhaps none – have failed explicitly because of climate change. At least not yet. Most failed because running a ski area is hard and most people are bad at it. Jiminy, once surrounded by competitors, now stands alone. Why? That's what the world needs to understand.What we talked aboutThe impact of Cranmore's new Fairbank Lodge; analyzing Jiminy's village-building past to consider Cranmore's future; Bromley post-Joe O'Donnell (RIP); Joe's legacy – “just an incredible person, great guy”; taking the long view; growing up at Jiminy Peak in the wild 1970s; Brian Fairbank's legacy building Jiminy Peak – with him, “anything is possible”; how Tyler ended up leading the company when he at one time had “no intention of coming back into the ski business”; growing Fairbank Group around Jiminy; surviving and recovering from a stroke – “I had this thing growing in me my entire life that I didn't realize”; carrying on the family legacy; why Jiminy and Cranmore joined the Ikon Pass as two-day partners, and whether either mountain could join as full partners; why Bromley didn't join Ikon; the importance of New York City to Jiminy Peak and Boston to Cranmore; why the ski areas won't be direct-to-lift with Ikon right away; are the Fairbank resorts for sale?; would Fairbank buy more?; the competitive advantage of on-mountain lodging; potential Jiminy lift upgrades; why the Berkshire Express sixer doesn't need an upgrade of the sort that Cranmore and Bromley's high-speed quads received; why Jiminy runs a fixed-grip triple parallel to its high-speed six; where the mountain's next high-speed lift could run; and Jiminy Peak expansion potential.What I got wrong* I said that I didn't know which year Jiminy Peak installed their wind turbine – it was 2007. Berkshire East built its machine in 2010 and activated it in 2011.* When we recorded the Ikon addendum, Cranmore and Jiminy Peak had not yet offered any sort of Ikon Pass discount to their passholders, but Tyler promised details were coming. Passholders can now find offers for a discounted ($229) three-day Ikon Session pass on either ski area's website.Why now was a good time for this interviewFor all the Fairbanks' vision in growing Jiminy from tumbleweed into redwood, sprinting ahead on snowmaking and chairlifts and energy, the company has been slow to acknowledge the largest shift in the consumer-to-resort pipeline this century: the shift to multi-mountain passes. Even their own three mountains share just one day each for sister resort passholders.That's not the same thing as saying they've been wrong to sit and wait. But it's interesting. Why has this company that's been so far ahead for so long been so reluctant to take part in what looks to be a permanent re-ordering of the industry? And why have they continued to succeed in spite of this no-thanks posture?Or so my thinking went when Tyler and I scheduled this podcast a couple of months ago. Then Jiminy, along with sister resort Cranmore, joined the Ikon Pass. Yes, just as a two-day partner in what Alterra is labeling a “bonus” tier, and only on the full Ikon Pass, and with blackout dates. But let's be clear about this: Jiminy Peak and Cranmore joined the Ikon Pass.Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), for me and my Pangea-paced editing process, we'd recorded the bulk of this conversation several weeks before the Ikon announcement. So we recorded a post-Ikon addendum, which explains the mid-podcast wardrobe change.It will be fascinating to observe, over the next decade, how the remaining holdouts manage themselves in the Epkon-atronic world that is not going away. Will big indies such as Jackson Hole and Alta eventually eject the pass masses as a sort of high-class differentiator? Will large regional standouts like Whitefish and Bretton Woods and Baker and Wolf Creek continue to stand alone in a churning sea of joiners? Or will some economic cataclysm force a re-ordering of the companies piloting these warships, splintering them into woodchips and resetting us back to some version of 1995, where just about every ski area was its own ski area doing battle against every other ski area?I have guesses, but no answers, and no power to do anything, really, other than to watch and ask questions of the Jiminy Peaks of the world as they decide where they fit, and how, and when, into this bizarre and rapidly changing lift-served skiing world that we're all gliding through.Why you should ski Jiminy PeakThere are several versions of each ski area. The trailmap version, cartoonish and exaggerated, designed to be evocative as well as practical, a guide to reality that must bend it to help us understand it. There's the Google Maps version, which straightens out the trailmap but ditches the order and context – it is often difficult to tell, from satellite view, which end of the hill is the top or the bottom, where the lifts run, whether you can walk to the lifts from the parking lot or need to shuttlebus it. There is the oral version, the one you hear from fellow chairlift riders at other resorts, describing their home mountain or an epic day or a secret trail, a vibe or a custom, the thing that makes the place a thing.But the only version of a ski area that matters, in the end, is the lived one. And no amount of research or speculation or YouTube-Insta vibing can equal that. Each mountain is what each mountain is. Determining why they are that way and how that came to be is about 80 percent of why I started this newsletter. And the best mountains, I've found, after skiing hundreds of them, are the ones that surprise you.On paper, Jiminy Peak does not look that interesting: a broad ridge, flat across, a bunch of parallel lifts and runs, a lot of too-wide-and-straight-down. But this is not how it skis. Break left off the sixer and it's go-forever, line after line dropping steeply off a ridge. Down there, somewhere, the Widow White's lift, a doorway to a mini ski area all its own, shooting off, like Supreme at Alta, into a twisting little realm with the long flat runout. Go right off the six-pack and skiers find something else, a ski area from a different time, a trunk trail wrapping gently above a maze of twisting, tangled snow-streets, dozens of potential routes unfolding, gentle but interesting, long enough to inspire a sense of quest and journey.This is not the mountain for everyone. I wish Jiminy had more glades, that they would spin more lifts more often as an alternative to Six-Pack City. But we have Berkshire East for cowboy skiing. Jiminy, an Albany backyarder that considers itself worthy of a $1,051 adult season pass, is aiming for something more buffed and burnished than a typical high-volume city bump. Jiminy doesn't want to be Mountain Creek, NYC's hedonistic free-for-all, or Wachusett, Boston's high-volume, low-cost burner. It's aiming for a little more resort, a little more country club, a little more it-costs-what-it-costs sorry-not-sorry attitude (with a side of swarming kids).Podcast NotesOn other Fairbank Group podcastsOn Joe O'DonnellA 2005 Harvard Business School profile of O'Donnell, who passed away on Jan. 7, 2024 at age 79, gives a nice overview of his character and career:When Joe O'Donnell talks, people listen. Last spring, one magazine ranked him the most powerful person in Boston-head of a privately held, billion-dollar company he built practically from scratch; friend and advisor to politicians of both parties, from Boston's Democratic Mayor Tom Menino to the Bay State's Republican Governor Mitt Romney (MBA '74); member of Harvard's Board of Overseers; and benefactor to many good causes. Not bad for a "cop's kid" who grew up nearby in the blue-collar city of Everett.Read the rest…On Joe O'Donnell “probably owning more ski areas than anyone alive”I wasn't aware of the extent of Joe O'Donnell's deep legacy of ski area ownership, but New England Ski History documents his stints as at least part owner of Magic Mountain VT, Timber Ridge (now defunct, next-door to and still skiable from Magic), Jiminy, Mt. Tom (defunct), and Brodie (also lost). He also served Sugar Mountain, North Carolina as a vendor for years.On stroke survivalKnow how to BE FAST by spending five second staring at this:More, from the CDC.On Jiminy joining the Ikon PassI covered this extensively here:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Get to know a valuable species in North America and the Great Lakes region. We dig into what it might look like to local economies to place value on 100% of the fish instead of just the fillet by highlighting a project lead by the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers. Our guests are Dave Naftzger (Executive Director and founder of the 100% Great Lakes Fish Pledge) and Bill Bodin (Owner of Bodin Fisheries in Bayfield, Wisconsin).

This week on the show Kathryn and Kristi are joined by Life Time Grand Prix rookie Stella Hobbs, from Whitefish, MT. Stella grew up competing in nordic ski racing, and after a successful collegiate career she hung up her skis, moved back to Whitefish, and within a couple of years was the proud co-owner of Great Northern Cycle & Ski. She participated in the weekly group road rides, and started mountain biking with her husband. Then in 2020 the weekly shop ride went from pavement to gravel, thanks to the influence of Jess Cera. Although it took Stella a little while to come around to the idea of gravel riding, once she got started she never looked back. Her endurance sport background gave her a leg up in hanging on to those speedy shop rides, and in 2023 she made the jump to gravel racing, pushing herself to take on bigger and bigger races. Stella was inspired by the women of the Grand Prix, and worked hard to put herself in a position to be selected for the 2025 season. After some time off of serious training after her ski career she says she is enjoying the process of focussing on training again, and is looking forward to taking on all of the Grand Prix events this year.Follow Stella on Instagram @stellalou2 Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Feisty Girona Gravel Camp: Join us in Girona for an immersive week of exploring on bikes, reflecting, connecting, and setting intentions.

Send us a textIn this episode, our host Kaleem Clarkson, joined by guest co-host Laurel Farrer, dives into the compelling journey of entrepreneur Bo Abrams, co-founder of Kommu, a revolutionary home-sharing platform. Bo's evolution—from a spirited youth navigating diverse environments to an innovative leader tackling inefficiencies in the home-sharing industry—is both impressive and full of insightful turns.Bo's unique upbringing as part of a nationally ranked basketball team alongside hip-hop legend Master P exposed him to diverse experiences from a young age. These experiences helped build his confidence, adaptability, and knack for navigating challenges—a foundation that has served him well in his entrepreneurial pursuits. This drive undoubtedly motivated him to earn an MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Business, all while continuing to pursue his musical endeavors!Bo's professional journey began in finance, where he took an entry-level position at a hedge fund, likening the experience to starting in the mailroom. Although the job involved humbling tasks like fetching coffee, it introduced him to ambitious colleagues who inspired his career aspirations. Realizing that the hedge fund path wasn't his true calling, Bo pivoted to operations roles in startups, including a stint at Steelhouse (now Mountain).The inspiration for Kommu struck during a trip to Whitefish, Montana, when Bo encountered the inefficiencies and high costs of home-sharing platforms like Airbnb. He wondered why homeowners couldn't monetize their properties as easily as car owners using platforms like Turo. This lightbulb moment led to the creation of Kommu—a social marketplace designed to offer young people trusted, affordable home-sharing options while fostering a sense of community. Bo envisioned Kommu as a disruptor in the space, providing a more equitable and user-friendly alternative to traditional rental platforms.Bo's partnership with co-founder Gus marked another milestone in Kommu's journey. The two met at UCLA, and their shared vision for transforming the home-sharing market solidified their collaboration. However, the road to success wasn't without sacrifices. Bo candidly shared how his laser focus on career and academic goals led to personal challenges, including the end of a significant relationship. Despite these setbacks, he found strength in his achievements and the unwavering support of family and friends.Take a moment to delve deeper into Kommu's ethos and mission with Laurel and Kaleem's sharp and delightful guidance! Bo's experiences and journey are a testament to the transformative power of resilience, adaptability, and innovation. From a trumpet-playing teenager in Beverly Hills to the co-founder of a disruptive startup, his story underscores the importance of perseverance in overcoming obstacles.Learn more about navigating the startup world, cultivating a growth mindset, and balancing ambition with personal sacrifices!

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Ben and Max Berkowitz aka the Berkowitz Brothers. The award-winning producing and writing duo (NotABillionaire.com) co-wrote the graphic novel, “The Writer,” along with Josh Gad.    “The Writer,” illustrated by Marvel and DC Comics legend Ariel Olivetti (who they pitched via Instagram DM), is a four-issue series, to be released in trade paperback on April 22. The supernatural adventure comic - in the vein of an Indiana Jones story - follows Stan Siegel, a comic book writer whose life unravels when the fantastical worlds that he writes about start bleeding into reality.   “We also added a lot of our family stories into this as well,” Max explains. “We put our mom into the story; it's literally Josh Gad's character's mom.”    Adds Ben, “Our mother's character, Liz, in the book, is constantly pushing food on the characters.”   Ben and Max clearly have strong ties to food.   “ Our family, we always talk about the next meal, even when we're eating a meal,” Max says. “It's always on our mind.”   “For us, food has always been the connector, bringing people from walks of life [together],” Ben says. “When our dad helped build out the family restaurant business … it was made to bring people [together] to enjoy just good, simple fish dishes.”   Whether your family business is fish or creating content, you need to navigate what's most important for work and your home life.   “At the end of the day, what kind of solved most any argument was a great meal,” Ben says. “If anything, it stops people from talking because their mouths were too full of food.”    The Berkowitz Bros talk about how “The Writer” came together, their family food legacy, bagel and other eating habits, and more. They also share their father's famous whitefish salad recipe, which you can get at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Check out NABvid.com and follow @BerkowitzBros and @TheWriterComic on Instagram. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she reviews the week's biggest headlines in northwest Montana. A proposed hunting bill is stirring controversy between the state and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, with concerns that it could unravel long-standing agreements and lead to legal battles. Meanwhile, Medicaid expansion is back in the legislative spotlight, with multiple bills shaping the future of healthcare access for nearly 80,000 Montanans. And in a much lighter—but no less impressive—story, young engineers put their skills to the test at the FIRST LEGO League robotics tournament, programming their autonomous machines to tackle underwater-inspired challenges. Read more from today's show:Tribes, wildlife officials oppose proposed hunting bill for Flathead Indian ReservationTwo Republican Medicaid expansion bills advance in the Montana LegislatureFlathead Valley teams dive into robotics challenge qualifying for state competitionMore local and state coverage: Whitefish skier Townsend Reed sets sights on Freeride World TourMontana Senate Judicial committee takes up bill that criminalizes care for transgender youthOverhaul of troubled state psychiatric hospital leaves lawmakers in limbo A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

A once-in-a-decade ice-skating experience had Whitefish buzzing as hundreds glided across the crystal-clear surface of Whitefish Lake. But what caused this rare phenomenon? And will it happen again? Whitefish Lake Institute's limnologist Cassie Roberts breaks down the science behind wild ice, why it's so rare, and what this tells us about climate patterns. Plus a major winter storm is set to hit the region by the weekend, bringing snow, freezing rain, and an arctic blast that could shake up conditions fast.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

Couple's Retreat - https://go.buildstrwealth.com/montanacouples Bill and his wife, Brea, discuss the importance of alignment in both personal life and investment strategies. The couple recounts their early misalignments and how their journey into real estate investments, specifically short-term rentals, brought them closer. They share their first significant investment in a beautiful beach house in Seaside, Florida, and their subsequent realization that they could not afford the 30A market. They opted for a more affordable investment in Gulf Shores, Alabama, which became a pivotal learning experience. They emphasize the need for clear criteria when selecting properties, sharing Brea's three must-haves: seeing, hearing, and smelling the ocean. The couple also talks about their experiences with property management companies, detailing their failures and eventual success after taking over management themselves. They highlight the importance of continuous education and alignment on financial goals. Their investment journey includes significant milestones such as their first investment property Bella Vista, and their biggest investment in Banner Elk, North Carolina. They discuss their practical strategies, including leveraging interest-only loans and maintaining a principal account. The couple also touches on the emotional aspects of selling beloved properties to reinvest for better financial returns. The episode concludes with an invitation to their upcoming couples retreat in Whitefish, Montana, aimed at helping couples align their personal and financial goals while enjoying a unique and intimate setting. 00:00 Introduction to Alignment in Investing and Personal Life 00:24 Starting the Journey: Early Misalignments 00:36 Discovering Short-Term Rentals 01:32 First Investment Challenges and Lessons 04:30 Taking Control: Self-Management 05:49 The Importance of Alignment in Investments 10:43 Smith Lake Investment and New Strategies 12:52 Banner Elk: A New Opportunity 15:18 Financial Understanding and Emotional Growth 22:24 The Power of Alignment in Personal and Professional Life 25:58 Invitation to Couples Retreat ➡️ Connect with us: • Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/284886002732508  • Check Out Our website: https://buildstrwealth.com/  • Bill's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billfaeth73 • Brea's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breafaeth/  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bfaeth  On Bill Faeth Unfiltered, Bill Faeth breaks down the ins and outs of short-term rental hosting, giving listeners actionable advice that they can use to take their businesses to the next level.

Bill sits down with Pace Morby to debunk myths about the profitability and viability of Airbnb. Bill, known for his highly successful short-term rental strategies and large events, shares his expertise on how to transform average properties into 'super properties.' The discussion explores the importance of marketability, meticulous property searches, and maintaining high standards for quality and cleanliness.

Additionally, Bill shares insights on innovative methods like using CRM software for direct bookings and nurturing guest relationships.

This approach has not only set him apart in the real estate industry but also in life, emphasizing continuous growth and adaptation. The episode concludes with the announcement of Bill's upcoming real estate event in Nashville and his new book release, promising valuable takeaways for anyone looking to excel in the short-term rental market. https://www.marketmystr.com/ 00:00 Introduction 00:04 Airbnb: Debunking the Myths 00:16 Bill Faeth's Background and Event Highlights 00:35 Montana and Personal Life 01:13 Airbnb Strategies and Success Stories 03:34 The Importance of Sales and Marketing 04:22 Two Extra Steps Philosophy 10:57 Challenges in the Airbnb Industry 13:45 Consistency and Quality in Short-Term Rentals 27:38 Personal Stories and Early Ventures 32:45 Flipping Success and Market Trends 33:58 Fast Money, Medium Money, Slow Money 34:45 Personality Types and Investment Goals 38:26 The Importance of Patience in Real Estate 38:50 Questioning the Value of College 42:21 The Power of Consistency and Persistence 43:52 Evaluating and Repositioning Properties 46:29 The Impact of Community and Networking 52:50 The Value of Super Properties 01:00:06 Upcoming Real Estate Event ➡️ Connect with us: • Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/284886002732508  • Check Out Our website: https://buildstrwealth.com/  • Bill's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billfaeth73 • Brea's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breafaeth/  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bfaeth  On Bill Faeth Unfiltered, Bill Faeth breaks down the ins and outs of short-term rental hosting, giving listeners actionable advice that they can use to take their businesses to the next level.

This is a Canadian tunes. They are often very noted and challenging. My choice of tunings has me baffled, as I just played along with a recording. It's fDFBbD. The key is apparently Bb. It would be interesting to try another tuning because this arrangement feels hard, though not really harder than others pieces I learn. Probably just more time needed here....

A Whitefish doctor was sentenced to six months of jail and another six months of house arrest for defrauding Medicare and other federal health programs.

Finding the best market for new short-term rental investors has proven more daunting in recent years. Interest rates and insurance premiums are rising, and competition is increasing due to the sheer supply in the short-term market. There was even a rumor of an Airbnb bust, but that may have just been for the hosts thinking Grandma's old house was the perfect short-term rental. We all know the heavy hitters for STR markets: The Smokies, Joshua Tree, Whitefish, etc. These markets also come with heavy price tags that push out most new investors. What if I told you there are still areas that can bring in nearly as much income for half of the start-up costs?

I'm sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I'm feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She's down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today.    My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I've shared before that Mom has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I've also shared that's where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I've joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…    Here is what I share in this week's episode: A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old). 4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin. Why it's important to know “You're Day is Coming.” WOW Book Chapter #10.  The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.  ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.  What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad? What traits do/did they have that you most admire? How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)? How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment? A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.    It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.    If you enjoy this episode, please give us a 5-star rating and write a review. Please also share it on your social media and be sure to tag us: IG & X: @ToddDurkin Facebook: @ToddDurkinFQ10 #ToddDurkin #IMPACTSHOW #Podcast #Ep390 #MommaDurkin 5-Spots Remain for Montana Retreat!
