North Idaho is growing fast — but how do we protect the values, culture, and small-town feel that make this place special while still building a thriving economy and future for young families?

In this episode of the North Idaho Experience Podcast, we sit down with Dan Finley, City Council member in Hauser and part of K Strong, to discuss the future of growth, industry, and community in North Idaho. Dan shares powerful insights about the difference between settlers vs. refugees, why culture matters more than politics, and how intentional city planning, architecture, and business development can help North Idaho become a beacon of sanity — not a victim of unchecked expansion.

We dive deep into:
✅ How North Idaho can grow without turning into “everywhere else”
✅ Why “reindustrialization” is the next big opportunity for this region
✅ The importance of entrepreneurship, community alignment, and long-term vision
✅ Why cities lose their identity — and how to protect Coeur d’Alene & Post Falls
✅ Charging out-of-state visitors fairly while keeping parks clean and local-friendly

If you’re considering moving to North Idaho, already live here, or care about the future of Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hauser, and Kootenai County, this is a must-watch conversation.

Retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt joins North Idaho Experience for a high-level, no-fluff conversation about Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, narco-terrorism, cartel warfare, and global power shifts. Dave, Eric, and Blaine break down the geopolitical shockwaves of capturing an illegitimate leader tied to cartel operations—and what that means for China, Russia, Iran, Taiwan, Japan, and the future of global conflict.

This episode covers how cartels function as a global system, not just a criminal problem, connecting drug trafficking, money laundering, political corruption, and human trafficking into one massive underground economy. Blaine also explains how elite U.S. military units train for rapid operations, what a “cost imposition” strategy looks like, and why modern warfare is shifting toward autonomous weapons, advanced surveillance tech, and AI-driven battlefields.

We also dive into the risks of escalation with major powers, the fragility of modern financial systems, and the uncomfortable reality of surveillance, civil liberties, and national security. If you want one of the most wide-ranging conversations on Venezuela, cartels, and the next era of warfare, this is it.
