PeopleAK: 1 Degree of Separation

The Long Run: Leadership, Family, and Life in Alaska with Natasha Von Imhof

Season 1 Episode 2

Episode 1: Natasha Von Imhof

In the premiere episode of PeopleAK: 1 Degree of Separation, host Paula Bradison sits down with Natasha Von Imhof, a lifelong Alaskan whose career spans finance, public service, philanthropy, and authorship.

Born and raised in Anchorage, Natasha’s journey reflects the many paths leadership can take in Alaska—from managing financial assets for the Rasmuson Foundation and serving as Vice Chair of its Board, to representing her community as an Anchorage School Board member and Alaska State Senator. With a background that includes banking, investment analysis, and public policy, Natasha shares what it means to lead with integrity in a state where relationships, responsibility, and resilience matter.

The conversation also explores Natasha’s work as an author, her decision to step away from elected office, and how family, movement, and reflection help keep her grounded in the Last Frontier. This episode offers an honest look at success, service, and identity—through the lens of someone deeply rooted in Alaska’s past and future.
