Episode 96 // Nicolle Fugere of Missouri River Outfitters
This week on the podcast we’re with Nicolle Fugere of Missouri River Outfitters in Fort Benton, Montana (pop. 1,443). Nicolle started as a guide for Missouri River Outfitters when she was 19, has worked for them every summer since, and always dreamed of someday owning the company. That dream came true four years ago and she has created a great life around this very special part of Montana. She’s sharing how she’s bringing in new ideas and taking the company even further and bringing a true Montana experience to her customers.
Every year I’ve been with this company, I feel like I’ve dug deeper and deeper into why I love it more. It definitely started off with the scenery and the customers that I got to be around — just wonderful people enjoying life. I got to be on everyone’s vacation. You just can’t ask for much better than that.

You’ll love how Nicolle has embraced the community in Fort Benton — and how the community has embraced her. Be sure to check out the show notes for some amazing photos of what you can expect to see on the Missouri River Outfitters’ trips and follow along to see Nicolle’s vision of a new company storefront come to life.
I bought the company four years ago at the young age of 28, but I always knew that I wanted to own this company.

I feel like this river and this job has raised me. Throughout life the river was always my constant.

It’s just a great community to be in and I feel a lot of places around the United States are missing that community feel, and moving here has reminded me of how important that is.
