In this episode of In the Den — the collaboration podcast between SIMBA and Spokast — host Brennon Poynor sits down with David and Helmer, the duo behind Mountain Top Mentality.

What began as a travel-focused Instagram account during a cross-country adventure has since grown into a mission-driven lifestyle brand rooted in storytelling, community, and impact. From custom apparel to national park–themed candles, David and Helmer have built a business that reflects their values and gives back to the places that inspire them.

They share how their journey led them from Rhode Island to Spokane, what it means to run a small business with purpose, and how the support of the SIMBA community helped shape their path forward.
