episode 30 - Why Everyone Eventually Comes Back to Park City - Katie Wilking cover

Description

Katie Wilking grew up in Park City, left for college and Washington D.C., then found herself coming home. In this episode we talk about old Main Street, Park City's early days, Mileti's, skiing as kids, commercial real estate, entrepreneurship, community, and why the people—not just the mountains—keep drawing us back. It's a conversation about growing up, leaving, returning, and appreciating a place differently with each chapter of life.

31 - The Farmer Who Refused to Leave Park City Todd Coleman

Most people think success is about climbing. Todd Coleman chose to dig. He grew up in Park City, left to explore the world, discovered outdoor education, spent years helping teenagers change their lives, learned farming in New England, and eventually came home to grow food on the same property where he grew up. That isn't just a career. It's a life built with intention. One of my favorite parts of this conversation wasn't the history of Park City—it was the reminder that communities don't stay special by accident. They stay special because people choose to invest their lives in them. This episode is about purpose, community, legacy, and finding work that feels meaningful. I think you'll enjoy this one. #SkiInSellOut #ParkCity #Community #Leadership #Purpose #RealEstate #MountainTown #ParkCityUtah

28 - The 'Bumpy Road' to Powder Cats!

Bekah Stevens came to Park City thinking she’d stay for one winter. Twenty-three years later, she’s transitioning into ownership of Park City Powder Cats — one of the most unique independent ski operations in the country. In this episode of Ski In Sell Out, we talk about: * growing up in rural Vermont * moving west after college * seasonal jobs and ski town survival * why so many people stayed in Park City * how mountain towns have changed * the reality of raising a family on the Wasatch Back * entrepreneurship, burnout, gratitude, and community * what it actually takes to build a meaningful life here This one isn’t really about skiing. It’s about choosing a life — and sticking with it long enough for it to become your own. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s still possible to build a future in a mountain town, this conversation is for you. #SkiInSellOut #ParkCity #PowderCats #MountainTown #ParkCityUtah #UtahRealEstate #SkiCulture #Entrepreneurship #WasatchBack #OutdoorLifestyle

27 - FLO PC & HOA Therapy - Ally Dickey

This week on Ski In Sell Out, we sit down with Ally Dickie — entrepreneur, HOA operator, former consultant, mother, community builder, and unofficial therapist for modern neighborhood dysfunction. What starts as a conversation about Florida roots, consulting careers, and moving to Park City “for one winter” turns into something much deeper about identity, parenting, leadership, emotional weight, and building a life that actually feels good. We talk about: * Leaving corporate consulting behind * Starting and growing Model HOA * Motherhood vs. entrepreneurship * Why the real politics happen in HOAs * Park City community culture * Raising kids in a small town * Feeling the weight of leadership * QuickBooks as emotional support * AskKaren.com * And the tiny deck that made them stay in Park City Funny, honest, thoughtful, and extremely Park City.
