    Humble About Burgers ... and Life, with Nate Wolff

    We welcome Nate Wolff, owner of Humble Burger in Moscow, Idaho.  Humble Burger started as a food stand at the Moscow Farmer's Market in 2014. They struck burger gold, and people went bananas for their food. The volume offered an opportunity to open a physical location in September of 2015. Their goal is to balance a few key principles that are important to them. They believe that everyone should have access to good quality food that's local. They believe in supporting neighbors that grow great food. And, they believe that their employees deserve great wages. Nate says, "we try to hold all of these things together and still make a few bucks. So far, so good." They also love live music, and believe that all ages should be able to hear it. So, on the regular they open up their doors to great regional artists and a fantastic local music scene. In September, they celebrated their 10th Anniversary with a re-launch of Modfest Music Fest.   To find out more about Modfest Music Fest and plan for 2026, visit www.HumbleBurger.com/Modest-Music-Fest-2025 If you're anywhere near Moscow, or are within a days drive, stop in and have the world's best burger --> www.HumbleBurger.com.  They cater too, all over the region!  Send the Show a text...we'd love to connect with you!

    Exodus Strong Through Herbal Medicine and Molecular Hydrogen with Rob Rene

    Rob Rene’s story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation. Once a gifted athlete with dreams of becoming a professional runner, Rob’s journey took an unexpected turn when a winter training run in Utah ended in a near-fatal accident.  Rob became a frequency specialist and began exploring alternative therapies, such as frequency medicine, for healing. He delved deep into the use of herbal medicine and molecular hydrogen, discovering the powerful health benefits these natural approaches provided. Rob’s personal journey wasn’t just about finding solutions for others—he himself underwent a transformation. He describes his experience as a metaphorical death, marked by anger, sadness, and frustration as he shed the layers of his former self. Yet, it was through this period of personal upheaval that Rob found renewed strength, resilience, and most importantly, a deeper connection to God.

    Real Authentic Gratitude...You Can Do This! with Author, Speaker and Coach Laura Bratton

    We are grateful to have Laura Bratton join us again on the Show today.  Seriously, Laura is getting married this Saturday!  For "Part One" please go check out our first episode with Laura on September 3rd titled, "From Losing Sight to Having Real Vision with Laura Bratton." Laura graduated from Arizona State University with a BA in psychology. She then was the first blind student to receive her Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. Another first, her guide dog Jira received the only Masters of Dogmatics Degree from Princeton. It was delivered to Jira from Iain R. Torrance, President Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary; Pro-Chancellor, University of Aberdeen, Scotland; Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland, Dean of the Order of the Thistle.  This is what President Torrance has to say about Laura, "Laura Bratton has written a remarkable book that shows how she is so well qualified to help others overcome trauma and loss.  Though the book is a story of loss, it is even more a story of courage and of how to accept the love of others, how to be sufficient and not dependent, and how not to complain.  Laura did her graduate studies at Princeton Theological Seminary during my tenure there.  She and her wonderful guide dog, Jira, enriched our lives in ways we will never forget, and she taught us far more than we ever gave her.  Please read her story and give thanks to God."    Laura founded Ubi Global, which is an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude. Today, we take a real authentic deep dive into gratitude.  Connect with Laura and buy her book, Harnessing Courage - Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude. It's terrific!  --> LauraBratton.com Send the Show a text...we'd love to connect with you!

    Getting a Clear Mind from Anxiety & Depression with Tyson Durbin

    Why Thoughts Matter. Our thoughts shape the way we feel, act, and relate to others. When stress or strong emotion runs high, our minds often take shortcuts by jumping to conclusions (mat) or assuming the worst. When our mind does this, it’s called a “thinking trap.” A thinking trap (also called a cognitive distortion) happens when our brain tells a story that isn’t completely true. These thoughts often show up automatically, especially when we’re stressed, anxious, or upset. Thinking traps narrow our perspective and make it harder to see the full picture. The good news is ... everyone experiences thinking traps, and you can learn to spot and change them. Connect with Tyson, learn more about how you can change the Thinking Traps, and download some free resources here --> www.ClearMindCounselingID.com “Just because you think it, doesn’t mean it’s true.” -Tyson Durbin Send the Show a text...we'd love to connect with you!
