About this episode
Jon Herold sits down with Michelle and Rick McAninch of Tamarac Garden for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly wild conversation about faith, family, freedom, and building a wellness business from the forests of North Idaho. They share how leaving Seattle changed their lives, how a terrifying medical crisis with their son pushed them to question the system, and how that desperation turned into a thriving business built on wild herbs, tinctures, and what they lovingly call “weeds.” From moose encounters and mountain harvests to celebrity gifting lounges and Badlands community connections, this episode is a reminder that some of the best American stories start far from the spotlight.
