In dieser Folge dreht sich alles um den Zion National Park in Utah – einen der beliebtesten und zugleich spektakulärsten Nationalparks der USA. Natürlich sprechen wir über Angels Landing, den berühmten Klettersteig mit Tiefblick-Garantie – aber auch über lohnenswerte Alternativen abseits des Trubels. Ob gemütliche Wanderungen entlang des Virgin River, herausfordernde Routen in den Canyon hinein oder versteckte Ecken mit grandiosen Ausblicken – Zion überrascht mit Vielfalt, Farben und beeindruckender Naturkulisse. Wir erzählen, warum dieser Park für viele ein Highlight auf ihrer Südwestreise ist, wie man ihn am besten erlebt – und worauf man bei der Planung achten sollte. Eine Folge für alle, die den Zauber von Zion nicht nur sehen, sondern spüren wollen.

This week, we cover a relentless wave of threats to America's public lands and environmental protections. But it's not all bad news, because we wrap up with some powerful land-back victories, state park expansions, and global actions to #BeatPlasticPollution.Key Topics This Week:1. Senate Budget Bill Public Land SalesSenator Mike Lee (R-UT) moves to reinstate a provision to sell 500,000+ acres of public land in Nevada and 11,000+ acres in Utah.Parcels affected include land near Zion National Park, desert tortoise habitat, and lands adjacent to Las Vegas.No restrictions on resale — paving the way for luxury developments, mines, and strip malls.2. What Else Is in the Budget Bill?Fast-tracks oil, gas, and mining projects by weakening environmental reviews.Opens new offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.Increases national forest logging quotas and 20-year timber contracts.Cuts climate adaptation and restoration funding.3. Department of the Interior (DOI) Deregulatory BlitzRescinds 2024 rule protecting 13 million acres in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve.Appoints Kevin Pendergast as BLM Alaska State Director.Rolls back 18 federal energy regulations nationwide.Green-lights new timber, oil, gas, and mineral leases across Oregon, Utah, Nevada, and Alaska.4. Supreme Court's NEPA Decision (May 29)An 8-0 ruling limits NEPA's scope so agencies no longer required to analyze cumulative and downstream environmental impacts.Case involved a proposed Utah crude oil railway; ruling sets precedent for pipelines, highways, and fossil fuel infrastructure.

Spending long hours on your feet can take a serious toll on your body, especially your back—and few professionals feel this more acutely than educators. From standing for hours to racing between classrooms and handling high-stress situations, the physical and emotional demands of education can quietly chip away at your health. In fact, on average educators take approximately 12,000 steps per day and to many, back pain could be a threat or even a career-ending struggle. This patient's testimonial story illustrates the power of not just ‘living with the pain' and advocating for the right solutions.  In this episode, we hear from Chris, a middle school principal, husband, and father, whose debilitating back pain drained his energy, disrupted his career, and impacted his family life. After trying everything from yoga to physical therapy and acupuncture, Chris felt like nothing could truly relieve his pain—until he found Dr. Colin Haines at VSI. Using a customized approach called hybrid spine surgery—a combination of spinal fusion and disc replacement—Dr. Haines helped Chris overcome his back pain and preserve the natural option of his spine. Months later, Chris went from struggling to stand through the day to hiking pain-free through Zion National Park, his transformation is proof that relief is possible. If you've been searching for solutions to chronic back pain or wondering if advanced treatments could help you, don't miss this inspiring episode. Learn how VSI's expert spine team helps patients get back on their feet—and back to doing what they love.

Welcome to The Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Brody Fausett sits down with Tony Robinson, real estate investor and host of the BiggerPockets Rookie Real Estate Podcast, to break down a unique hotel deal in Kanab, Utah. Tony shares how he transitioned from corporate life to scaling his real estate business, eventually securing this 13-room hotel near Zion National Park through creative seller financing. Listeners will hear firsthand how Tony overcame setbacks with two failed attempts at raising capital for larger deals and learned to “scale smarter” by focusing on smaller, achievable opportunities. Tony dives deep into the numbers, outlining how he structured the deal with $200K down, favorable seller-financing terms, and a $600K raise to cover renovations and working capital. Brody and Tony discuss the importance of finding great partnerships, managing investor relationships, and leveraging equity strategically for future growth. This candid conversation highlights the power of perseverance, creative deal structuring, and maintaining a mindset of providing opportunities for investors, rather than simply asking for money.

Cody Peterson A first-time author, Cody has been a thoughtful student of spirituality and religion since adolescence, and he takes his own spiritual practice very seriously, believing that his recovery (and his life) depends on it. He defines his own version of meditation and yoga as "highlighting books" and sharing what he's learned through his writings and talks—the central feature of his day-to-day routine. To the delight of his family, including his two amazing adult children, Cody finally sobered-up over eleven years ago after spending time living on the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada, and he feels an urgent need to give back by “carrying the message” to newcomers to the Twelve Steps through volunteering at any number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and detox-facilities every chance he can. Cody is a desert rat at heart with a deep love for the American southwest. An avid outdoor adventurer and owner of a small construction company with his wife, when he's not in a meeting, studying, or writing you can bet Cody is either climbing up one of the massive sandstone monoliths of Zion National Park or else descending down any of its myriad slot-canyons with his friends—always with ropes, of course. He loves mountain biking and trail-running too, especially with his three little dogs, Jeff, Wina, and Gooey.

Kath and Jan are back! We missed you! To start our long housekeeping and catch-up, we quickly veer into politics, as Jan makes a last ditch effort to show one presidential candidate's er…shortcomings, to say the least, ending in a tearful plea to vote! Then we head back over to food topics and talk about Kath's new attitude towards Thanksgiving and a new ramen joint she tried, as well as a bizarre experience in Zion National Park. Later in the podcast, Jan's best new pal Melissa Sherman joins us briefly (due to throat recovery) to talk about growing up in LA, then moving to a shack as a child, and finally ending up on Oregon! Since we have not been on mic since early August, it was great to be back! Listen in!

Concessions are the backbone of the National Park System. True, the National Park Service manages the parks and the wildlife and the visitors, but the concessionaires provide you with a bed, or campsite, to sleep in, restaurants to dine in, and gift shops to browse in. Xanterra Parks and Resorts is one of the key players in the national park concessions industry. They operate lodges in Yellowstone, Crater Lake, Death Valley, Glacier, Grand Canyon and, until the end of this year, Zion National Park. A newcomer on the park concessions scene is POWDR Corp., a self-branded adventure company most tied to snow sports. This past January, however, POWDR took over the concessions at Stovepipe Wells Village in Death Valley National Park, and this coming January it'll be operating concessions at Zion National Park.  To learn more about POWDR and why it's seeking opportunities in the National Park System, we've invited Justin Sibley, the company's CEO, to discuss the transition. We'll be back in a minute with Justin.
