Kalispell Standoff, Bear Warnings and Big Mountain Fire Funding
Aug 8, 202612 min
Taylor Inman breaks down five major stories shaping Northwest Montana - from a tense standoff in Kalispell to bears pushing into town as the huckleberry crop comes up short. A suspect is in custody after Kalispell Police responded to reports of a man threatening violence on Airport Road. 43-year-old Brian Weidner was taken into custody without incident after negotiations, with help from the Northwest Montana Regional SWAT Team and the Flathead County Sheriff's Office and now faces a felony intimidation charge. Northwest Montana is seeing a below average huckleberry crop this year, and as natural food sources get harder to find, bears are moving into lower elevations and closer to homes. Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear conflict specialists say securing garbage, bird feeders and fruit trees now can prevent costly encounters later, and they're asking anyone with a bear concern to call early. Big Mountain Fire District is receiving its first infusion of cash from the newly established Big Mountain resort tax, funded entirely by visitors paying a 3 percent tax on goods and services at Whitefish Mountain Resort and surrounding businesses. The district was handed a $395,000 check this month, money that's already gone toward hiring additional firefighters. Flathead County Library has kicked off a $35,000 study to figure out how to raise $13 million for a new Kalispell branch. The current library has until 2033 to move out of its First Avenue building, and trustees are eyeing a site at Kalispell Center Mall for a 40,000 to 50,000 square foot replacement. Hungry Horse News is marking 80 years since Mel Ruder printed the paper's first edition out of a rented room on Nucleus Avenue in Columbia Falls. Ruder, known for his photography, went on to run the paper for more than three decades from the log cabin still standing at Highway 2 and 40 today. Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

Grizzly Bear Attack Report, Fatal Kalispell Fire, Rockfall Death on Going-to-the-Sun Road
Aug 1, 202615 min
Five major stories shaping Northwest Montana this week - from a fatal fire at a Kalispell roofing business to a deadly rockfall on Going-to-the-Sun Road. Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman breaks down the headlines you need to know. The cause of a fatal fire at a roofing business west of Kalispell remained under investigation this week, after one man died in a multi-alarm blaze that tore through a metal warehouse on Fenn Way. More than 30 firefighters and law enforcement officers from five agencies responded, and the Flathead County Sheriff's Detective Division is working to determine the cause and origin. A final report on the fatal grizzly bear mauling of 33-year-old Anthony Pollio in Glacier National Park revealed new detail on the May 3 attack near the Mount Brown Lookout Trail. DNA analysis identified the bear as a known, conflict-free resident of the park, and investigators concluded Pollio was the victim of a defensive attack by a surprised grizzly caught off guard in low light. Dozens of animals were seized from a property in the Eureka area following an investigation into possible neglect, including 40 dogs, two ponies, two chickens, two rabbits, a goat and four cats. All were evaluated by a veterinarian and are being re-homed, with the case now headed to the Lincoln County Attorney's Office for review. Cherry growers on Flathead Lake are calling this one of the strongest harvests in years, with good weather and a lighter-than-usual supply from Washington driving strong prices. Growers have picked more than 500,000 pounds so far and expect to reach close to two million by the time the season wraps in early August. Authorities identified the man killed by rockfall on Going-to-the-Sun Road earlier this month as 73-year-old Rex Schowengerdt of Missouri. Schowengerdt was struck while riding as a passenger near the Rimrocks section below Logan Pass and died a week later after being taken off life support; the death was ruled accidental.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
