The Q&R Code

This week, we’re joined by an extremely special guest, Sean Liljestrom Murphy! While he’s most famous for being Quinn’s husband, he’s also an engineer and avid outdoorsman. On the podcast, Sean shares about his recent experience on his first solo elk hunt. He discusses preparedness, his perspective on “success” in the backcountry, and how his life as a professional tinkerer comes into play on an adventure. Quinn and Riley update on habits that have been enhancing every day.

The season change calls for some appreciation and Quinn and Riley are here to serve up the cozy Fall vibes. Quinn’s front porch is basically a pumpkin patch, Riley’s goats are getting fluffy like teddy bears, and both Q&R revel in the little things that make this season of the year stand out. The twins chat about being a good example for their future kids. They emphasize the importance of using your hands to get focused and be creative. They urge listeners to try collaging or journaling and to get out and vote!

Long story short, Quinn completed her first equine pack trip, and it was a great success! While the trip was organized around an elk hunt, the most important part of the experience was the camaraderie and love shared. In this episode, Quinn lets us in to her journal about her adventure and shares important takeaways from the backcountry. Come for the mule and horse escapades, stay for the vulnerability and tenderness.

Learning isn’t reserved for the classroom or clinic. If you cultivate a lifestyle of learning, you’ll find yourself constantly questioning and growing, ending up a more well-rounded (and, let’s be real, interesting) person. When working with equine, it’s paramount to continue to evolve, but this mindset will serve you in all life’s arenas. From embracing repetition to eating a slice of humble pie, Quinn shares five potent takeaways in this week’s episode.

There is nothing like summer in the Tetons, and Quinn & Riley are on cloud nine after enjoying a week in their hometown.

Today, the twins sound more like gym bros than one might expect. They’re talking group fitness classes for accountability, eating a lot more food than you think you need, and talk beginner muscle soreness. Q & R also mention the excellent acoustics in their recent singing in the shower twin experience. The episode is sprinkled with talk of snail mail, stamps, and stickers. Happy Tuesday, thank for listening!
