After losing his home and everything he’d built, Rick Trimmer found himself in his grandparents’ basement with his wife, a newborn, and $640,000 in remaining debt. What followed was a long road of rebuilding—and a decision to pursue a different kind of success. In this episode of the Conquer Cast, Rick shares how he and his wife aligned around a vision of freedom, kept their expenses low, and built businesses and rental income that allowed them to travel with their family for nine years across 89 countries. We talk about the reality of starting over, the mentors who helped him move forward, and the discipline to choose long-term freedom over instant gratification. Rick also opens up about marriage, fatherhood, and why the best part of any adventure is the people beside you. From hunting stories in Hawaii to knowing when you have enough, this conversation asks a question worth sitting with: Are you building a life you actually want to live?

She shares what drew her to the company, the exciting opportunities ahead, and how her team is helping shape the future of the brand. Joining MTN OPS also opened the door to something Sarah never expected: hunting. Although she grew up with a dad who hunted, she didn&#39;t go on her first hunt until she was 32 years old. What began with an Axis deer hunt in Maui quickly turned into a passion, leading to a handful of unforgettable hunts and countless lifelong memories. She also shares the full-circle story of returning to the Idaho mountains with her dad nearly twenty years after a terrifying childhood bear encounter left her afraid of bears and uninterested in hunting. Going back to those same mountains became one of the most meaningful experiences of her life, strengthening their relationship and creating memories they&#39;ll both cherish forever. Along the way, Trevor and Sarah discuss faith, family, competition, embracing new opportunities, leadership, and the experiences that continue to shape Sarah&#39;s life and the future of MTN OPS.

“She has raised us to know Him.” This week on The Conquer Cast is one of the most personal episodes we’ve ever recorded. For Mother’s Day week, I sat down with each of our children and asked them to share their thoughts about their mother. Their words were honest, heartfelt, funny, tender, and powerful. As I listened, one statement pierced my heart more than any other. One of our children said: “She has raised us to know Him.” What greater work could there be than that? To raise children to know God. To teach them how to pray. To help them feel loved by Heaven. To point them to Jesus Christ through word, example, sacrifice, patience, and faith. That is sacred work. Eternal work. Jenna has never chased recognition, applause, or attention. But behind every blessing in our home, behind every child growing in faith, behind every challenge we’ve conquered together, stands a woman completely devoted to God, her family, and the people she loves. Even MTN OPS would not be what it is today without her love, loyalty, sacrifice, encouragement, and unwavering belief through every season. This conversation reflects the kind of motherhood that shapes generations through faith, sacrifice, and discipleship. To mothers everywhere, thank you. And to my beautiful wife Jenna, Happy Mother’s Day. You truly are a mother, a woman, and a disciple of Jesus Christ who knows and follows the Conqueror. #TheConquerCast #MothersDay #howWEconquer #FaithFamilyFreedom #ConnectAndConquer
