E194: Danny Brigman: The Power of Caring... and Just Showing Up

Thanks for listening today, friends!So... what do Burrito League, ultrarunning, Indigenous land knowledge, app development and wildfire response have in common?Apparently quite a lot!Today we are joined by Danny Brigman from the Spokane Reservation for a conversation about what happens when you stop waiting for somebody else to build the thing you think should exist — and just start doing it yourself.Danny shares how starting a Burrito League chapter on his reservation sparked a broader community movement, why seeing other Native ultrarunners changed what he believed was possible for himself, and how his connection to the land has shaped everything from racing to directing the Spokane Homelands 27K.We also dig into Homelands, the app Danny has spent years building to help people understand whose lands they're traveling across and move beyond land acknowledgements toward actual knowledge, relationship and respect.And, this has been a crazy zummer... after devastating wildfires affected communities across the region (Danny and I have both been evacuated from different locations for fire activity) our conversation turns toward something more profound: what community looks like when people genuinely need one another.This episode is about land, belonging, imperfect action, authenticity and the powerful act of just showing up.Follow @homelands.app on Instagram or Facebook, and visit homelandsapp.com to follow Danny's project.
