369 Nurturing Community   We're all human. We all have family, we all have struggles, we all have experienced some sort of adversity, which means we're more alike than we are different. It can be easy to view the world with blinders on, to ignore it all and keep your nose to the ground, but then your community suffers for it. The people who rely on you, whether it be your friends and family, or a client or customer, by choosing to nurture only our corner of existence, the rest of our community suffers. Just like tending a garden, you must tend the whole garden, spread love and nutrients where you can, and remove what is harmful. It's hard work, but all things worth doing require effort.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Claudia Krevat discuss the importance of caring for your community as a whole, how vital it is to remove the blinders and to see things as they are and how you best can contribute to a healthy and happy community.    Highlights Lifting others up also lifts you up. You never know the doors you'll open when you just participate. Have you tried to appeal to someone's empathy? Their humanity? How did that go for you? What can you do to see people who disagree with you as human? Connection through how we are similar and how we show our humanity.   Quotes “You know that when people are asking for it and your participation is growing, you are creating a positive impact.” “Strangers become friends around the dining table.” “A lot of us have family in common.” “There's a story and we got to tell the story, because don't we learn from stories?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I would love to see some comments or get an email from you about how sharing food, breaking bread together, changed your mind about something or someone. I would love to hear the story about the time you ate with people or surrounded a dining table with other people where you experience something unexpected or maybe something that changed your life or changed everything about how you perceived something that you were surprised by.     And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Claudia (from her Instagram page) Community organizer through food.

As well as the article written about her on Yellowstone Public Radio!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

366 Fortunes For The Future Throughout our lives we will have to wear many hats and perform many tasks on our paths toward success and personal fulfillment, sometimes these wayward paths lead us to doors that we would never expect to come across. We only need to have the courage to reach out and open the door.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Russel Rowland discuss the many different paths life leads us down and the lessons we learn on our way to fulfillment and success.    Highlights The work we find between our desired career can open many doors you could never expect. We need to have something or someone show us that what we're doing matters. We all have an edge of discomfort in putting ourselves out there, but we have to confront it in order to live a fulfilling life.    Quotes “I'm not a big believer of hiding the skeletons. I think you have to look at your history honestly in order to keep growing and learning about how we become the people we are.” “It's really the main piece of advice that I think all writers need is to keep doing it. Because we all have an imposter syndrome, every single one of us.”    Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I already gave you a really fun exercise, if you find that you're blocked in the writing you need to do, whether that be business writing, or a blog, or journal, maybe you're writing a book, if you're feeling blocked in your creativity try writing a handful of fortunes that you would want to find or that you would want somebody you care about to find in their next fortune cookie.    And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned In This Episode In Open Spaces Desmond Tutu Virtual Diplomacy 1997 Russel Rowland Books   About Russel Russell Rowland is the acclaimed author of seven books, as well as the host of a radio show, Fifty-Six Counties, on Yellowstone Public Radio.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to navigate the dynamic world of radio? Today, we're speaking with Marvin Granger, a stalwart of Yellowstone Public Radio for 22 years who got his start in the industry as a young announcer at a tender age of 14. His tales of the early radio days, pre-NPR educational radio at the University of Minnesota, and the thrilling journey to creating his successful show, Your Opinion Please, make for an unforgettable oral history of radio. But Marvin's life isn't all airwaves and soundboards. Join us as we explore the personal side of this radio icon, touching on his two marriages, and the experience of his three daughters attending a desegregated local neighborhood grade school. If you think that's intriguing, wait until we discuss what might have been if Marvin had taken the path of being a Lutheran minister. And let's not forget his fascination with human sexuality and Thomas Jefferson, which adds an unexpected twist to his tale. Let's not forget there's more to history than personal journey. Our journey ends with a deep dive into the life and legacies of Abraham Lincoln. Do you know what fueled Lincoln's insatiable curiosity? Or his early interest in preachers, science, and literature? And how about his legal career, and his staunch opposition to slavery? All that and more, right here on Front Porch Perspective. Join us for this unique blend of radio history, personal introspections, and a look back at one of the most influential figures in American history.

You may have noticed a lot of birds chirping outside your window before the sun rises at this time of year. Cornell University ornithology professor Michael Webster talks about the different theories as to why. And, flooding from heavy rain and snow melt forced the evacuation of 10,000 people from Yellowstone National Park. The drinking water in communities like Billings has been affected. Yellowstone Public Radio reporter Olivia Weitz joins us.

Ben and Amory are, sadly, not the type of people who truly "unplug" when they go on vacation, but this week's story is proof that those people do, in fact, exist! It comes to us from "Shared State" — a podcast from the Montana Free Press, Montana Public Radio and Yellowstone Public Radio — and it's the story of a couple who returned from a vacation off the grid to discover that they were entangled in a viral political feud with one of Fox News' most controversial commentators.

This week's guest is Mara Silvers of Montana Free Press. Mara and her colleagues have teamed up with Montana Public Radio and Yellowstone Public Radio to produce a second season of the amazing Shared State, a podcast about the strange political moment we're living through. Season one went deep on the meaning of Montana values in the lead up to the 2020 election. Season two, which just released, explores some of Montana's messiest political quagmires and the people trying to find their way through. In this conversation, we cover Mara's path to this project, and dive into episode topics from political fires in fly shops to the sovereignty of Badger-Two Medicine.

There's not much certainty for the coal industry these days. In Montana, four of the six owners of the Colstrip Power Plant live in states where legislation is requiring companies to wean themselves off of coal energy. Residents of Colstrip — a town that has grown and prospered because of that resource —  fear that any bad news for the industry will be even worse for them. Up against shifting markets and corporate interests, how can advocates for Colstrip ensure future stability for its residents?   BONUS LINKS: Read more about the Southeastern Montana Economic Development's diversification strategy for Colstrip.

In 2009, Montana was caught up in a heated national debate over whether terminally ill patients could expedite their deaths by taking lethal, physician-prescribed medication. More than a decade later, the state is still mired in disagreement about medical aid in dying, in part because courts and elected lawmakers have sidestepped the political hot-potato. Meanwhile, individual Montanans are confronting profound and personal questions about death in their own ways — including whether “good” deaths are even possible.    BONUS LINKS: Read former Montana Supreme Court Justice Jim Nelson's reflection on the Baxter decision here.

For decades, housing affordability has been a hot-button issue in Bozeman politics, a clear community pain point where the city's elected leaders haven't managed to deliver significant relief. As insider and outsider candidates campaigned for city offices in 2021, housing policy became the election's key issue. The solution, some residents argued, was to elect working class advocates to positions of power. Key to getting the job done, others countered, is experienced, incumbent leadership.    BONUS LINKS:  The One Valley Community Foundation's 2021 Regional Housing Study: onevalley.org/regionalhousing  Follow Urban Institute housing researcher Corianne Scaley on Twitter @CorianneScally   Shared State a podcast from Montana Free Press, Montana Public Radio and Yellowstone Public Radio.

Whitefish has a reputation as a charming ski destination in Montana's northwest corner that welcomes wayward strays, whether that's for a season or a lifetime. That attitude has helped grow small businesses and local watering holes, and keep friendly faces on the slopes and behind the bar. But in recent years, more and more people have been drawn to the good thing Whitefish has going on. Locals fear that surging popularity — and skyrocketing cost of living — could push out the very characters that make this place so special.   BONUS LINKS:  Read the 2016 Whitefish Area Workforce Housing Needs Assessment here.

It's not surprising for Montanans to have plenty of political disagreements. What's more uncommon? Neighbors whispering about each other at grocery stores and disrupting entire public meetings with passionate tirades. Welcome to the era of COVID-19, when debates about public health, personal liberties and science have reached a fever pitch. Those disagreements are tugging at tightly-knit towns and counties, making some residents wonder how their communities will survive in more ways than one.   BONUS LINKS: Read more about the Ravalli County Board of Public Health's COVID-19 policies here.

For many Montanans, the Badger-Two Medicine is synonymous with one of the most significant grassroots conservation successes in recent decades. That story is about Blackfeet tribal traditionalists, political leaders, and conservation groups coming together to defeat oil and gas leases in one undeveloped expanse of wilderness in Montana. Now, thecoalition faces thorny questions — what does long-term protection and management of the Badger look like, and who gets to decide?   BONUS LINKS: Read more about the Badger-Two Medicine on the Blackfeet Nation's website.

In the summer of 2021, Livingston residents Kascie and Dan were preparing for a wilderness float trip in Idaho. Before heading to the river and leaving cell service behind, they stocked up on supplies at Dan Bailey's, an outdoor gear shop. What happened there was caught on video and viewed millions of times. It ignited a political firestorm across the country. That conflict just kept spiraling, providing one example of how today's political disagreements can have far-flung consequences.   BONUS LINKS: Pew Research's Political Typology Quiz can be found here.
