What if your passion for the outdoors could shape your life and inspire change far beyond the riverbank?  In this episode of SUPERPOWER, host Kristine Milkovich takes on a journey to explore what happens when adventure, purpose, and advocacy collide. And just as A River Runs Through It teaches us that rivers hold stories far deeper than their currents. Today's guest does the same. Kristine is joined by Hilary Hutcheson, a renowned fly fishing guide, documentary filmmaker, and dedicated conservation advocate. Raised in Montana's rugged beauty, Hilary has built a life around rivers and community while working with brands like Yeti and Patagonia to amplify her message.  Her journey is one of resilience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to preserving the places and stories that define us. In this episode, you'll hear Hilary's reflections on the guiding life, the transformative lessons she's learned on the water, and her passion for protecting public lands. We also dive into her documentary The Tengu Club, which uncovers hidden stories of Japanese American history and explores themes of identity, family, and cultural heritage.  In this episode: [0:58] Meet Hilary Hutcheson: fly fishing extraordinaire [4:02] Hilary's connection to the river [10:55] From journalism to full-time guiding [14:34] Joys and challenges of guiding [27:05] Memorable moments on the river [32:04] A personal connection to public lands advocacy, management, and political activism [37:36] Balancing state and federal lands [42:48] The role of brand ambassador [52:14] The making of the film The Tengu Club [1:00:50] Hilary's SUPERPOWER   Links & Resources larysflyandsupply.com Glacierraftco.com @outsidehilary on Instagram Yeti Presents The Tengu Club   Connect with Kristine Milkovich themilkovichteam.com | IG - @stylebymilkovich | @kristine.milkovich on Facebook & LinkedIn
