Today's Alpreneur probably isn't going to sub his cowboy hat for a ballcap...but his message is clearly aligned with our mission.

I was watching Yellowstone and as a city to mountain transplant (albeit, originally from the mountains), John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner's) line resonated and reminded me of my personal responsibility and why I started Alpreneur:
 
“We are not your playground. We are not your haven from the pollution and traffic and mismanagement of your home states.

This is our home. If you choose to make Montana your home, you will start treating it like a home, not a vacation rental.”


Alpreneur has 5 hats left. When I launched, I was fearful the message wouldn’t land. It did. If it was just a brand, just a group with no mission, I feel it would land on deaf ears. It’s not. It’s a pledge to be involved. To be intentional.
 
The philanthropic core is a commitment. Wherever you’re traveling to find that freedom the outdoors provide, you have a responsibility to those who call that place home. The residents have a responsibility to the inhabitants (animals) that came before them. Alpreneur's have a responsibility. 
 
Thank you all for the support.

I grew up in Montana and am finally able to move back and live there full time this summer (2023) on my 20 acre property an hour north of Yellowstone National Park near Red Lodge. As a young adult I remember I loved the skiing, not necessarily the ski season, we actually looked forward to the down time between the ski season and hiking season, when the year round residents had the town to ourselves. Don’t get me wrong, we had a lot of fun when the tourist were visiting and that’s when we made our money so we could live there year round, but the down time was lovely. Thank you for your work!! ~ Fred “Sonny” Kunchick

Sonny! Thank you so much for sharing your story and the interest in Alpreneur. Means the world to me. We sure are lucky to call these beautiful mountains home.

I hope you like your hat!
