This isn’t just another episode of Fremont Biz... it’s an extra extra special one! For the first time, we’re broadcasting on location from Wind River Outpost, a standout business on Main Street in downtown Lander. Hosts Charene Herrera and Owen Sweeney take you on an exciting creative journey with owners Mike and Libby, showcasing their custom engraving, artwork, and unique handmade pieces.

We start the episode with a tour of their amazing storefront, featuring a variety of items that highlight Wyoming’s charm and beyond. From ready-to-buy treasures to fully customizable products, Wind River Outpost is a dream destination for unique and personalized gifts.

Then, it’s time to head into the “laboratory,” where all the magic happens. Mike explains the fascinating laser technology that brings their custom creations to life, while Libby dives into the artistry of her design process. We even got hands-on and made two plaques and two T-shirts! Spoiler alert: no equipment or podcasters were harmed in the process, though the laughter was nonstop, especially when Owen was given the wrong shirt size!

Wind River Outpost is more than a business; it’s a creative haven where passion and craftsmanship come together. Whether you’re shopping for a gift, something special for your home, or dreaming up your own customized project, Mike and Libby can bring it to life. Tune in to this fun and inspiring episode of Fremont Biz to hear the full story, behind-the-scenes action, and plenty of laughs.

In this episode of Fremont Biz, we had a blast with Brian Fabel of Fabel’s Furniture, a fine craftsman and all-around cool guy. Brian has an impressive story of transitioning from various office jobs to working full-time in his woodshop. We dove deep into his journey and discovered how fulfilling it has been for him to pursue his passion for woodworking.

But this episode wasn’t just about work – it took an emotional and philosophical turn, as Brian opened up about life’s transitions and what it means to find joy in craftsmanship. We had lots of laughter, too, with a fun show and tell segment featuring Brian’s beautifully crafted cutting boards. And yes, we may or may not have used some straws, an apple, and a knife during the podcast – hopefully all safely!

Be sure to check out some pictures of Brian’s work, and you can explore more of his craftsmanship at Fabel’s Furniture.

Tune in for a lighthearted yet meaningful conversation that showcases not just the art of woodworking but the art of living. As always, we had a great time with our guest, and we’re constantly impressed by the amazing people we get to feature on Fremont Biz.
