I Am InterchangeWe the Founders: Building A Shared DemocracyAs we approach 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, we find ourselves at a critical inflection point for democracy. The promise of equity demands that every policy and investment provide significant, sustained support to those most in need. This support must act as a bridge to creating an equitable economy, fostering an inclusive and compassionate society, and strengthening an accountable democracy. In this pivotal moment, we must ensure that our collective efforts address systemic inequalities, amplify marginalized voices, and create pathways for all individuals to thrive. Only by prioritizing these goals can we fulfill...2024-08-1559 minI Am InterchangeWe the Founders: Building A Shared DemocracyAs we approach 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, we find ourselves at a critical inflection point for democracy.

Whether he's advocating for the LGBTQ community, igniting a passion for the democratic process with Forward Montana, or pinpointing colonizers' roles in the desecration of "the other" and their responsibilities going forward, Bradley has a lot to say and it's not all met with an accepting acquiescence. While he challenges whether we can make America great again, he argues that we have the capacity to achieve that greatness for the very first time – and that it's worth the fight.

I Am InterchangeEddie HemingwaySuccessful artist and children's book author Eddie Hemingway is no stranger to the limelight, but he's never felt at home there. As the son of Valerie Danby-Smith and Gregory Hemingway – and grandson of renowned author Ernest Hemingway – Eddie's relatively solitary private catholic school upbringing in New York segued seamlessly into a fine arts degree at Rhode Island School of Design and solidified a creative, empathic introvert. While Eddie actively cultivates personal space and values the introspection it affords in both his personal and professional spheres, his compassion, curiosity, gentle humor, perceptiveness, and love of intimate connection are equally defining. 2021-06-2945 min

I Am InterchangeConrad Anker & Wilmot Collins- Reconciliation Chapter 1Fast friends Conrad Anker and Wilmot Collins couldn’t have less in common. Or so it seems. Anker is a world-renowned mountaineer, author, and activist; Liberian refugee and US Navy Reserve veteran Wilmot Collins is the mayor of Helena, Montana. But their respective covers hide pages of experience oddly in concert. They have both led incredible lives. They both know and have been defined by heart-wrenching loss. They both feel an intrinsic responsibility to engage and give back. And they both know the power of forgiveness and the work and humility necessary for lasting reconciliation. In this mu...2021-05-291h 03
I Am InterchangeThe Toothpick ProjectMontana State University (MSU) professor Dr. David Sands was no novice to the challenges of plant pathology even before he began an education that would define him as a leader in the field. A Silent Generation farm kid, he spent his childhood rooted in the land. Now, in a roundabout manner with detours through the arts, education and conservation, Sands' daughter Claire has found herself equally ensconced in a green vision defined as much by growth and life, as death. Their mutual enemy? An innocuous looking little weed called striga, which devastates crops and food security on 40 million farms...2021-04-291h 10

I Am InterchangeOk Boomer- Full DebateThe United States is on the brink of the largest wealth transfer in its history as aging boomers and traditionalists pass along financial assets estimated in excess of $68 trillion to their progeny. Further polarizing class and reinforcing unparalleled income inequality, this inheritance is expected to solidify millennials as the richest generation in human history. But perhaps only a few among them. As economists identify possible outcomes and wonder at the future ahead, skeptics can't help but ask how much of an impact the transition can make if it is only from a handful of wealthy individuals to an even...2021-02-271h 13

An environmental disaster generations in the making, the crisis is no longer avoidable, but rather a matter of whether it will be “really bad, catastrophically bad or existential annihilation.” Strom points to a need for change in leadership and the mobiliza...2021-01-301h 00

I Am InterchangeHenri PellerinAs it turns out, economics isn’t the study of money, but rather one of human actions, behavior, and the incentives that drive them. As local entrepreneur, economist, and co-owner of Dean’s Zesty Booch Henri Pellerin relates, studying economics can shed a lot of light on oneself, others, and how the world works. There is some sort of logical process happening, some measurable motivation that guides humans on the common path from where they are to the “preferable state” of where they want to be.
