From the dusty trails of endurance horse racing to the treacherous mountain roads of logging country, Rachel Shackleford's life story reads like an adventure novel. Known online as "SS Trekking Babe," Rachel takes us through her remarkable journey of reinvention that led her from being a homeschooled horse trainer to becoming one of the few female lowboy drivers in the trucking industry.
Growing up in Auburn, California, Rachel's unconventional education gave her practical skills that would later become invaluable. When health challenges including Hashimoto's disease forced her to abandon horse training, she made a bold pivot into professional trucking. Starting in the logging industry - arguably one of the most demanding sectors of trucking - Rachel quickly earned respect by mastering skills many drivers take years to develop.
Throughout our conversation, Rachel shares hair-raising stories from the road: navigating 80,000-pound loads down narrow mountain paths, encountering suspicious situations at isolated landfills, and developing safety protocols as a woman traveling alone. Her experiences highlight not just the technical challenges of trucking but also the unique perspective she brings to a male-dominated field.
What stands out most is Rachel's philosophy toward fear and discomfort. "When I fear something, on the other side of that is freedom, so I'm going to just push straight through it," she explains. This mindset has served her through career transitions, technical challenges on the road, and in competition as an endurance horse racer riding distances of 25-100 miles.
Rachel's story is a powerful reminder that our greatest growth often comes from embracing challenges rather than avoiding them. Her willingness to step outside her comfort zone and pursue unexpected paths offers inspiration for anyone feeling stuck or seeking change in their own life.Tell us what you think!

Two veterans sit down for a no-holds-barred conversation that takes listeners on an extraordinary journey through Marine Corps life during the Global War on Terror. This episode captures lightning in a bottle as these old friends reunite to share stories that balance on the edge between hilarious and harrowing.
The conversation begins with Charles recounting his troubled childhood - from witnessing domestic violence and navigating juvenile detention to finding salvation through foster parents who showed him what real family support looks like. His transformation from delinquent teenager to dedicated Marine demonstrates how military service provided structure and purpose for a generation of young men seeking direction.
What follows is an unvarnished look at Marine Corps culture during wartime deployments. The raw honesty with which they discuss boot camp experiences, combat missions, and the infamous "flight deck time" - where Marines would gather under the stars on naval vessels to process their experiences through conversation - offers listeners rare insight into the psychological reality of military service. Their descriptions of accidentally rupturing oil pipelines in Iraq, barely escaping mortar attacks, and navigating the complex dynamics of platoon life reveal aspects of war that official accounts often sanitize.
Throughout their exchange, dark humor emerges as the essential coping mechanism that helped these Marines survive unimaginable stress. The constant pranks, inside jokes, and storytelling weren't just entertainment - they were psychological survival tools that forged unbreakable bonds between service members facing life-threatening situations daily.
Beyond the war stories lies a powerful testament to friendship. Despite years apart, these veterans pick up their conversation as if no time has passed, demonstrating the lifelong connections created through shared hardship. Their discussion about how the Corps has changed, whether they'd want their children to serve, and plans for family vacations together shows how military brotherhood extends far beyond active duty.
Join us for this remarkable conversation that serves as both historical record and therapeutic reflection - a window into a world few civilians understand but all should appreciate.Tell us what you think!

What makes Idaho special, and how can we protect it? Matt, creator of The Ranch podcast, reveals his journey from Berkeley graduate to California SAT tutor to Idaho political bridge-builder in this wide-ranging conversation about state politics, education, and community values.
After nearly two decades in education, Matt witnessed California's political landscape transform the system in ways he found deeply concerning. When his state eliminated the SAT as an equalizing opportunity for disadvantaged students like himself, he knew it was time for a change. In 2022, he moved his family to Idaho seeking a state that valued personal liberty, civic engagement, and pragmatic governance—and started a podcast to understand his new home.
The Ranch quickly evolved from neighborhood conversations to interviews with Idaho's most influential leaders, from the Governor to agency heads. What sets it apart is Matt's commitment to honest, unbiased dialogue that humanizes political figures across the spectrum. "If you say you want to talk to both sides, people need to trust you," he explains, detailing how he builds that trust through fair questioning and accurate representation.
Through fascinating examples—from ranchers creating volunteer firefighting agencies to debates over employment protections—Matt demonstrates how his podcast illuminates complex state issues often overlooked by traditional media. He dives deep into technology in schools, sharing alarming discoveries about monitoring software vulnerabilities and his work on legislation requiring greater transparency for parents.
Beyond politics, Matt reflects on what truly makes Idaho special: the freedom to explore public lands, the emphasis on individual agency and personal responsibility, and the authentic civic participation that has shaped the state's character. As Idaho faces growth and demographic changes, he sees his platform as critical to preserving these values by helping newcomers understand what makes the Gem State worth protecting.
Whether you're an Idaho native, a transplant, or simply interested in how local media can bridge political divides, this conversation offers valuable insights into building community in polarized times.To learn more about Idaho, it's legislature, and what lies behind it...make sure to visit: The Ranch Podcast - Powered by Truth in Media Foundation and follow Matt on Instagram @the_ranch_podcast

He shares raw, unfiltered insights into the prison system, house arrest, and what it’s like to go from an average American to a national headline. This episode isn’t about politics—it’s about one man’s personal journey through chaos, consequences, and ultimately, redemption.
