Totally Boise Hot Seat

In this episode, we sit down with David Hurless of Stor-It Self Storage — Idaho's largest and oldest self-storage provider, right here in the Treasure Valley. What started in 1972 as a wild idea between a Boise State professor and a handful of his students has grown into a third-generation family business with over 20 facilities, three million square feet of storage space, and a legacy that's woven into the fabric of Boise's growth. David has been with Stor-It since 2008, working his way up through every role in the company, so there's nobody better to tell the full story. We get into how Stor-It became the "Green Machine" it is today, what it's like watching Boise grow from a storage unit's perspective, and what's next for one of Idaho's most iconic local businesses.

Tom Beeles of Allied Business Solutions and Bobbi-Jo Meuleman of the Boise Metro Chamber join us to discuss business growth, the evolving Boise economy, and what makes Boise a unique place to work, live, and build community.

Izze Rumpp, an Assistant Booking Agent from Duck Club joins us to talk about the history of Duck Club and Treefort, what goes into booking artists and planning shows, and how the many “forts” come together each year. We also share personal concert stories, favorite artists, and a behind-the-scenes look at the work that brings Boise’s live music scene to life.

In this episode of the Totally Boise Hot Seat, we sit down with Boise Mayor Lauren McLean to learn about her journey from moving to Boise to leading the city. She shares insights into her climate and housing initiatives, plus her inspiring “10 minutes to a park” goal and other plans shaping Boise’s future.
