Episode 9: Alex Stokman - Turning Passion into Purpose

In this episode of Montana Multipreneurs, we sit down with Alex Stokman, founder of Venery, a Montana-based hunting education company dedicated to helping women build confidence, skills, and community in the outdoors. What started as a personal passion quickly turned into a business when Alex recognized a gap—there weren’t enough accessible, supportive spaces for women to learn how to hunt and connect with the outdoors. Today, Venery has grown into a thriving community centered around mentorship, hands-on learning, and shared experiences. In this conversation, we explore: * How Alex turned an idea into a growing business * The transition into the CEO role as a solopreneur * Why focus and consistency are critical in entrepreneurship * The challenges of balancing business, family, and personal energy * Why community is the foundation for long-term success This episode goes beyond hunting—it’s about leadership, entrepreneurship, and creating something meaningful from the ground up. ---------------------------------------- 🔗 CONNECT WITH ALEX & VENERY Website: https://veneremt.com [https://veneremt.com] Instagram: @venerymt

Episode 6: Ashlyn Schwartz, PHD - Evidence-Based Wellness Expert

In this episode, we sit down with Ashlyn Schwartz, founder of The Collective OM, to talk through her background and what led her into the wellness space. We unpack her transition from traditional work into building a trauma-informed wellness company and what that approach looks like in real life. We explore the differences between individual and corporate wellness, including how organizations can view wellness as a meaningful investment rather than a “nice to have.” The conversation also covers workplace stress, productivity, and practical wellness tools for people who spend most of their day at a desk. Ashlyn also shares how she works with both individual and corporate clients, details about an upcoming Florida trip and wellness event, her upcoming poetry book release, and the story behind the name The Collective OM. Key Takeaway Trauma-informed wellness matters. When we understand how stress lives in the body and focus on nervous system regulation, we create more sustainable support for both individuals and teams.
