In this exclusive episode of the Ever Onward Podcast, recorded inside the Idaho State Capitol, Governor Brad Little sits down for an in-depth conversation on leadership, economic growth, workforce development, education, and the future of the great state of Idaho.

Governor Little shares behind-the-scenes insight from the start of the legislative session, including budget priorities, tax policy, public safety, infrastructure, and the long-term strategy that has helped Idaho become one of the fastest-growing and most economically resilient states in America. We discuss how Idaho is attracting high-paying jobs, strengthening career and technical education, and keeping young people in the state through programs like LAUNCH, workforce training, and skilled trades investment.

The conversation also dives into family values, faith, heritage, and the personal side of leadership — from Governor Little’s deep agricultural roots and multigenerational Idaho history to his role as a husband, grandfather, and steward of Idaho’s future. He reflects on lessons learned from past governors, navigating economic cycles, federal policy, healthcare, education reform, and why Idaho’s approach to governance, fiscal responsibility, and community remains a model for the nation.

This episode covers:

• Idaho economic growth and job creation
• Workforce development, skilled trades, and education
• State budget, taxes, and fiscal responsibility
• Leadership, legacy, and public service
