Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

Today's episode features Kelly Dean Wiseman, the former General Manager of the Bozeman Community Food Co-op. Kelly Dean worked at the Co-op for 34 years, and was an integral part of its growth and success over that time.

In this conversation we talk about the origins of the Co-op; what makes the Bozeman Co-op unique; the value of local and organically grown foods; hilarious stories from various eras of the Co-op; Kelly Dean's own values and vision for the future, and so much more.

It was a total honor for me to sit down for this conversation, and I am thrilled to share this episode with the world.

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

Today's episode is part 2 of my conversation with former middle school teacher Andy Traisman. We get deep in this one, diving into what makes 7th and 8th grade such a pivotal age; who we admire and look to as mentors in the world; what life has looked like for Andy post-retirement; and even how to find hope in a world so full of reasons to despair.

It is my belief that everyone can find something that resonates with them in this conversation, some nugget of wisdom to take forward.

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

Today's guest is Andy Traisman, a former middle school teacher and a friend and mentor to many. Andy taught my 7th and 8th grade Homeroom and Humanities classes at The Village School, a K-8 Waldorf-inspired public charter school in Eugene, Oregon.

This episode is part 1 of our conversation - this conversation was just too rich to pack into one episode! In part 1 we talk about Andy's childhood growing up in the Chicago suburbs; life as a "seeker"; Andy's unlikely and circuitous route to becoming a middle school teacher; and the origins of The Village School, amidst so much more.

Part 2 will be released two weeks from today!

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! In honor of Mother's Day, today's episode features a conversation with my mom, Jane Happy.

In this episode we touch on a whole host of topics, including (but not limited to!): her experience biking solo across Alaska and Central & South America in the early '90s; the process of electing to give birth at home to both of her children; her thoughts on death as a Hospice Social Worker and how her perspectives have shifted over time, among so many other things.

This episode is fun and insightful and honest and real, on so many levels. I am deeply grateful to Jane for sitting down and sharing her stories and wisdom borne of lived experiences.

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

In this follow-up episode Eamon and I discuss a recent conservation success in the Coburg Hills of Oregon, as well as Eamon's re-discovery of the northermost known population of the Coffee Fern (Pellaea andromedifolia). Eamon's story of the discovery of this population - over 40 years after it had last been seen - is so engaging and well worth a listen. We hope you enjoy!
