Tips for 35 min Connections
There are no true same-airport connections at MIB since it's an origin/destination airport, not a hub, so most 'connections' happen at Denver or Minneapolis instead.
If you do have a rare same-plane or same-day connection here, the walk from gate to gate takes only a couple of minutes.
Security is minimal and rarely has lines outside of early morning departure banks tied to oil-industry charter flights.
Check bags through to your final destination whenever possible since MIB has limited staff for quick rechecking.
Flight schedules are sparse, so a missed connection elsewhere often means waiting until the next day's flight back into MIB.

Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal with a handful of gates, so passengers walk directly from arrival to departure gate in under five minutes. There is no shuttle, train, or inter-terminal transfer of any kind, and security re-screening is rarely an issue since most passengers pass through a single checkpoint.
