Strategy, Grit & Flight: The Legacy of Brianne Rogers | Episode #51 on the IWD406 Podcast

Strategy, Grit & Flight: The Legacy of Brianne Rogers | Episode #51

What happens when strategic leadership, Montana roots, and the wild call of adventure collide?
This week on the IWD406 Podcast, we sit down with Brianne Rogers — a Montana powerhouse whose journey has taken her from the political pulse of Washington, D.C., to the rugged backcountry of Alaska.

Brianne began her career serving as a top strategist and campaign manager for Senator Max Baucus, shaping communications and political operations at the national level. After years in D.C., she returned home to Montana — bringing her expertise in messaging, leadership, and large-scale strategy back to her roots.

As the founder of Bird Dog Strategies, Brianne now works alongside some of Montana’s most influential organizations, including Bozeman Health, helping them refine their vision, communication, and community impact. But her story doesn’t end there.

In a bold pivot from politics to passion, Brianne co-founded Four Flyways Outfitter, an elite waterfowl expedition company that flies guests to Cold Bay, Alaska, for one of the most remote and extraordinary hunting experiences in the world.

Brianne’s story is one of resilience, adaptability, and redefining success — from Capitol Hill strategy rooms to Alaska’s wild coastlines. Her journey is proof that the skills we build in one season of life can take flight in another.
