From law enforcement stories to building luxury homes in North Idaho, this conversation dives into trust, teamwork, and what it really takes to build a home from the ground up.
You’ll also hear about the meth capital era in North Idaho, how proactive policing changed the community, and why veterans and first responders thrive in business after service. If you’re thinking about moving to North Idaho, building your dream home, or just love hearing stories of grit and reinvention, this episode is for you.
