The IWD406 Podcast, Montana’s premier platform celebrating women’s stories of leadership, innovation, and community, proudly presents its 53rd episode featuring Sarah Calhoun — founder of Red Ants Pants, the Red Ants Pants Foundation, and the Red Ants Pants Music Festival in White Sulphur Springs, Montana.

In this inspiring conversation, Sarah shares how reading Ivan Doig’s classic memoir This House of Sky sparked her move west and fueled her vision to build something bold, practical, and empowering for women who work hard and lead with purpose. From designing durable workwear that actually fits women to creating one of Montana’s most beloved rural music festivals, Sarah’s story is a testament to what happens when determination meets heart.

Listeners will gain insight into how she built a brand and community from the ground up — one that uplifts women, supports small-town economies, and keeps Montana’s spirit of resilience alive.
