Tony Molina is an author, avid outdoorsman, and professional fi****ms trainer. Stephan invited Tony on this week's episode to discuss his book, 'Handgun Selection for Grizzly Bear Defense,' as well as the best defense strategies against bear and other large animal attacks in the backcountry.

During the episode, Tony emphasized the importance of training to become proficient in using a gun, highlighting that simply purchasing one does not make you an expert. He also stressed the significance of carrying a defense mechanism that can be deployed within 3 seconds. Handguns are the popular choice due to their accessibility and ability to meet the suggested 3-second timeframe. Tony also covered essential information about fi****ms, including the best ammunition for defensive purposes.

The topic of bear spray was also discussed, with Tony providing unique insights into its effectiveness. While bear spray is often successful in deterring bears, it is not foolproof and has limitations. Tony recommends carrying both a handgun and bear spray, allowing for responsible choices based on the specific circumstances.

Overall, this episode serves as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge about staying safe in bear country.

Tim Kellogg is a former rodeo competitor and wrangler turned chocolatier, living in the beautiful community of Meeteetse, Wyoming.

In this episode, Tim shares the journey from growing up in his grandmother's kitchen to handcrafting gourmet chocolate at his business, Meeteetse Chocolatier. Originally created as a side hustle to earn money for a new saddle, Tim now makes high-quality chocolates without additives, preservatives, or stabilizers as a full-time business.

Tim talks about sourcing beans directly from Belize, where he visits farms and meets the families, ensuring they receive a fair share of the profits. This direct support of farmers not only provides them with a better income but also guarantees that the chocolates produced at Meeteetse Chocolatier are of the highest quality. Stephan and Tim then discuss the terroir of cacao, and its similarity to wine and how it affects the taste of the chocolate and why he chooses not to blend beans from different countries.

The world of single-origin chocolate may be lesser-known, but thanks to dedicated individuals like Tim, more people can experience the unique and complex flavors that each variety of cacao has to offer.

Our Story

Hello podcast world. I am Stephan Abrams the host and creator of The Jackson Hole Connection. I’ve been living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since the summer of 1999, when I moved here to visit with my brother. I immediately fell in love with this place and knew I would call Jackson Hole my home.

Since arriving in Jackson Hole, I’ve worked my way to being an entrepreneur. I was brought on as a partner with The Liquor Store of Jackson Hole in the fall of 2002 and in 2014 share owner restructuring moved me into the CEO position with the blessing of my partner Rod Everett. In 2017 Rod and I purchased an existing business and opened the retail shop for Jackson Hole Marketplace along with some investors.

During the time from 1999 to the present I’ve enjoyed being a member of this community. I’ve served as a board member for The Jackson Hole Jewish Community, I’m currently a board member for The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce and I value my membership and involvement in The Rotary Lunch Club. I’ve had many conversations with folks about the history of this valley and I felt the stories people have around here should be shared. So, now I am launching The Jackson Hole Connection to share stories of worldly, wildly interesting folks connected to Jackson Hole.

While learning the stories of more people connected to Jackson Hole I hope to pass on to my boys, Louis and William, the importance of listening, learning and sharing people’s stories. We can all learn so much from people who have experiences to share.
