The Colorado State Capitol Building opened its doors in November 1894. A grand neo-classical monument in the West, it used local materials to capture some of the feel of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Over the decades it's become, like many statehouses across the country, a trove of artwork, history and curiosities. The building is also the frequent site of protests, rallies, celebrations and a variety of other public events, a “People's House,” if you will. In this repeat episode of Purplish, which first published last fall, we shift the conversation from the consequential laws and debates that happen in the state's seat of power to the building itself. CPR's Bente Birkeland and Stephanie Wolf travel from top to bottom to explore what's on its walls and in its halls — and phone a friend for a rare look into what's down below the basement. Their reporting reveals that the building, and its many collections, open up bigger conversations, not just about history but about the state right now. Read more of our reporting: CPR News: Portrait donated by White House will hang temporarily in capitol where painting Trump despised used to be CPR News: Should Colorado Display A Rediscovered Portrait Of Its KKK Governor?

The wealthiest families on earth don't run on luck. They run on a system. In this High Level Conversation, Keenan Beasley — founder and CEO of Factory Holdings — breaks down the operating system behind every dynasty that survived its founder: the family office. The same machine the Medicis used to fund the Renaissance and the Rockefellers used to become their own private bank, decoded for the culture that was never handed the blueprint.This is a conversation about coordination over competition. About turning culture and influence into capital and ownership. About treating your family the way the powerful have always treated theirs — as an institution built to last a hundred years, not a household scrambling after every funeral over who plans the next dinner.We move from the original meaning of the word "family" all the way to cultural sovereignty: the right to build, own, and pass down without asking permission. If you have influence but no infrastructure, attention but no ownership, this is the map.WHAT WE DECODEWhy "family" was always an economic institution, not a feelingThe family office explained: the operating system of the wealthy, and why the mindset is free even when the structure costs millionsStructure over luck: why outcomes trace back to the system a child is born intoBlack wealth, the coordination problem, and the infrastructure layer that's still missingMoney-making versus meaning-making, and why we traded the wisdom of elders for the noise of checksMedici, Rockefeller, and the keiretsu model: families that became banks, networks, and sovereign systemsAlpha versus beta, first checks, and how the rich actually right-size a betThe Factory mission: cultural and cognitive sovereignty, and the next 1,000 family officeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As chairman and CEO of USG Corporation, Bill Foote led one of the most remarkable Chapter 11 restructurings in American business — an achievement Warren Buffett called “the most successful managerial performance in bankruptcy that I've ever seen.”Bill's career spans some of the most respected institutions in American business and finance. He spent 27 years at USG Corporation, including 15 years as chief executive, where he helped more than double the company from roughly $2 billion to $5.6 billion at its peak. He also served as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago during the financial crisis, held board roles with major companies including Kohler and Walgreens, and served on the board of his alma mater, Williams College.In this episode, Bill joins Matt to unpack the leadership mindset behind a business strategy so effective it became a Harvard Business School case study. Learn about how leaders make decisions when the stakes are high, how they balance competing obligations, and how they keep an organization focused when the path forward is anything but simple.Drawing on 50 years in business, Bill shares the leadership principles that guided his career, organized around three major themes: the fundamentals of leadership, leadership style and timing. From staying grounded while rising above problems, to understanding when collaboration matters more than consensus, to knowing when it is actually time to make a decision, this conversation offers a rare look at how great leaders think, lead and endure.We want to hear from you!

Is the US economy increasingly dependent on high-income consumers? In this episode of “Credit Currents,” Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, and Atsi Sheth, Chief Credit Officer at Moody's Ratings, examine the reality of the K-shaped economy. They explore how the top 20% of earners now drive roughly 60% of spending, while lower-income households face mounting pressure from rising costs of essentials like food, fuel and housing. From premium airline demand to tightening credit conditions and weakening real income growth, this episode highlights why economic growth may appear stable, but is becoming increasingly fragile and concentrated.   Host: Patrick Ronk, Vice President, Moody's Ratings Guests: Mark Zandi, Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics Atsi Sheth, Chief Credit Officer, Moody's Ratings   Related Research:  Global Macro Outlook (May 2026 Update) - Global energy market stress weighs on growth prospects The State of the Consumer (March 2026) – US - Higher energy prices and a narrowing consumption base pose risks to spending The State of the Consumer (May 2026) – Europe - Middle East conflict will weaken consumer confidence and nascent economic recovery Geopolitical Risk – Global - Prolonged Strait of Hormuz disruption through autumn broadens credit stress © 2026 Moody's Corporation and/or its licensors and affiliates.

This week we wanted to explore 1980s fantasy. But sometimes it's hard to recover nostalgia when present-day villains keep killing our favorite heroes. Last week, the BBC announced Doctor Who is dead. For now. Rest in peace, Time Lord. Also these days, Stargate fans are rallying to hold Amazon to its original promises of restoring that universe with original creators, and stop the ‘Zon from some “modern audience” reboot. For these and fans of other Star franchises, how do we mourn? Episode sponsors Twist of Time by Tricia Goyer and Nathan Goyer Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Author Update from Author Media Descendant Publishing Mission update New at Lorehaven: new review, Maxine Justice: Public Offender Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes “June 3, 2026: Stargate cancelled, for the fourth and likely final time,” Joseph Mallozzi’s Weblog, June 3, 2026 “June 6, 2026: Do Fans Matter?”, Joseph Mallozzi’s Weblog, June 6, 2026 “Why Amazon canceling the new Stargate series is a mistake – and fans are trying to tell them,” Trent Moore at Static on the TV, June 6, 2026 “Former ‘Dr. Who’ showrunner Russell T. Davies says women and transvestites should be over-represented in creative writing until ‘things are balanced,’ even if it takes 100 years.” See this June 10 X.com post @BreitbartNews with video of original Davies interview. “Save Stargate with Martin Gero,” Change.org petition “Lego’s latest design research: what girls want,” Reena Jana at ZDNet.com, Dec. 19, 2011 1. Doctor Who destroyed by Russell T. Davies BBC, June 10: “BBC cancels Doctor Who Christmas special and Russell T Davies announces exit,” absolutely predictable end. Back in 2005, Davies revived Doctor Who serials on television. The series had “politically correct” moments, yet great writing. Writer Steven Moffat took over. The show got big. Then declined. In the late 2010s, political leftists demanded Doctor Who A lackluster showrunner took over. Fans rejected a gender-swap. Davies returned a political omnicause monster. He killed the Doctor. 2. Amazon rejects a fan-centered Stargate Variety, June 2: “‘Stargate' TV Series From Martin Gero Not Moving Forward at Amazon (EXCLUSIVE),” and fans were outraged. Original creators were on board, per the Nov. 2025 announcement. Now they join fans opposing this seeming ridiculous double-back. Amazon may want a “modern audience” show, not original fans. This is a universe more impossible than any sci-fi scenario. That's not how you grow a fanbase ever. True fans will grow it. Stephen finds this similar to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. He's drawn in! 3. Star Trek/Wars still struggle to survive We saved this for last because fans everywhere rightly lament. Since our last episode on the topic, we've seen major updates. Mandalorian and Grogu bombed. Starfleet Academy was axed. Technically both franchises flounder ahead with illusory intent. Kathleen Kennedy is finally leaving Lucasfilm, owned by Disney. Star Trek showrunner Robert Kurtzman is likely next to go. Corporations aren't evil. But inhuman corporatism is parasitic. This “mind of metal and wheels” has ruined stories for Christians. But now the Christians are improving. These stories are decaying. We really can't pretend “popular culture” is just neutral ground. Activists do want to kill these stories and replace them with others. To speak truth, we should acknowledge the justifiable backlash. And then we mourn their deaths. But not as those without hope. After all, the results could be worse. What if the hijacking worked? Even non-Christian fans saw through the trick. And they said no. The “market” did its job, perhaps thanks to God's common grace. It's nearly like the Law rightly punishing violators. It is necessary. Let them suffer the results. Maybe repent. But retreat in disgrace. And if possible, may better storytellers rise up to restore worlds. Until then, let great story-worlds like Doctor Who rest in peace. Com station Top question for listeners How do you grieve the loss of fantastical stories you once loved? Next on Fantastical Truth One of the sillier myths in our culture is that “Most men don't read.” Sometimes this is a real trend. Other times it's wishful thinking because some creators don't want to make stories that celebrate boys and men. Still, we can look to fathers and mentors to train younger men, not just to love truth, but to love fantastical stories that honor truth. Just in time for the next stage of the Lightraiders tabletop game system, pilot and author James R. Hannibal returns to the studio to help fight dragons.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Disclosure Day, Higher Frequencies, and the Threshold of a New Human Reality Guests, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, Linda Moulton Howe Spielberg's Disclosure Day Opens a Bigger Conversation In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld gathers a panel to review Steven Spielberg's newly released film Disclosure Day. Alan is joined by longtime UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe, along with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, who bring perspectives from UFO research, consciousness studies, spirituality, ancient texts, and the wider disclosure movement. Alan frames the film as perhaps one of the most anticipated cinematic events in modern UFO culture, because it deals not simply with science fiction, but with the possibility that humanity is being prepared for a deeper truth about non-human intelligence. Frequencies, Clicking Sounds, and Consciousness Communication Linda Moulton Howe begins by emphasizing the importance of frequency in the film. She connects Spielberg's use of clicking sounds and nonverbal communication to government documents, abduction cases, and reports she has heard from experiencers over decades of research. Dr. J.J. Hurtak also highlights the film's treatment of language, sound, and consciousness, contrasting it with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where communication was centered more on tones and music. In Disclosure Day, the panel says Spielberg brings in the human element more fully, suggesting that extraterrestrial contact may involve mind-to-mind communication, frequency, empathy, and higher consciousness rather than ordinary speech alone. From Science Fiction to a Disclosure Bridge Alan and the panel repeatedly stress that they do not see Disclosure Day as merely another science fiction movie. They argue that Spielberg has gathered decades of UFO, UAP, consciousness, government secrecy, telepathy, cover-up, and experiencer material into a film that functions as a bridge between old disbelief and a new cultural acceptance. Alan says Spielberg seems to have been a serious student of the phenomenon, including many familiar themes from UFO research: government secrecy, private industry involvement, recovered craft, mind control, empathy, and the question of whether the public has a right to know. Government, Corporations, and the Machinery of Secrecy A major part of the discussion focuses on the film's depiction of government secrecy and private industry. Alan references the fictional corporation Wardex, which is tied to retrieval and extraction programs, and connects that to real-world claims associated with figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso. Linda and the Hurtaks discuss how governments may have transferred recovered technologies or sensitive programs into corporate hands to create plausible deniability. Linda traces this secrecy back to World War II and Eisenhower-era briefings, while Alan says the film dramatizes the tension between those who hide the truth and those who believe humanity has a right to know. Fear, Love, and the Human Right to the Truth The panel describes the film as a contest between fear-based secrecy and the higher message of empathy, love, and transcendence. Alan says humanity is caught between fear and higher consciousness, and that the film presents empathy as a key to humanity's future. Linda is especially moved by the final minutes, saying she felt empathy not only for extraterrestrials but also for humanity, because people have not been told the truth as a species. The panel agrees that disclosure should not merely be informational; it should be transformational, helping humans understand themselves as part of a larger cosmic family. Religion, Creation, and the Many Mansions of the Universe The film's spiritual themes are also central to the panel's review. Alan, Linda, and the Hurtaks discuss the Catholic sister character in the film, who recognizes that the universe is too vast to exist only for humanity. They connect this idea to the Book of Genesis, Christ consciousness, the New Testament phrase about “many mansions,” ancient Coptic and Greek texts, and the idea that creation includes many levels of life and intelligence. Rather than seeing extraterrestrial intelligence as opposed to spirituality, the panel presents it as part of a larger divine creation story in which humanity must expand its understanding of soul, consciousness, and cosmic purpose. What Spielberg Shows — and What He Leaves for Later The group praises Spielberg's restraint but also discusses what the film does not fully show. Linda says she wished Spielberg had introduced more kinds of non-human intelligences, including tall whites, Nordics, reptilians, plasma beings, and other forms she has encountered through witness testimony. Alan suggests Spielberg may be taking the public slowly by first introducing one or two categories of extraterrestrial presence before expanding into a wider range of beings. The panel agrees that the film is likely only the beginning of a broader cultural process and that future films, government releases, or public disclosures may reveal a more complicated landscape. Disclosure, Timing, and a Planet Under Pressure The panel repeatedly asks why this film and this moment are happening now. Linda suggests the timing may relate to future geophysical changes, solar activity, rising oceans, environmental instability, and the possibility that extraterrestrial assistance may become necessary for humanity's survival. Alan connects the timing to recent government disclosures and the public release of UFO/UAP information, while Dr. J.J. Hurtak frames the moment as a sociological, psychological, economic, planetary, and spiritual convergence. The group agrees that humanity is being prepared for contact because the old reality is no longer sufficient. The Soul, Empathy, and the Next Stage of Humanity A major theme in the latter part of the program is the soul. Linda shares memories from childhood of feeling a protective pressure in her chest while looking at an image of Christ with lambs, a feeling she still associates with soul, protection, and love. Dr. J.J. Hurtak describes the soul as the inner architecture of life, a field of consciousness that continues beyond the body. Dr. Desiree Hurtak adds that different beings may have different levels of soul evolution, and that humanity is learning to access abilities such as remote viewing, telepathy, and higher-dimensional awareness. Alan says these gifts of the spirit may allow humans to meet non-human intelligences on a more equal footing. “Listen”: The Word at the Doorway The panel gives special attention to the film's final message: listen. They interpret the word as a call to listen to extraterrestrials, higher intelligence, divine purpose, inner senses, compassion, and one another. For Dr. J.J. Hurtak, this connects to sacred language and the ancient call to hear the divine frequency. Alan sees Spielberg's film as a “signifying agent,” a cultural bridge that helps people move from an old reality into new realities. The episode closes with a shared prayer from Linda, “May the thought that dwells in the light protect us forever,” followed by Alan's disclosure-themed song, “Did You See It?”, which he presents as an anthem for this new moment.

Bracken Darrell has spent his career helping iconic brands rediscover what makes them matter. In this conversation with Ryan, Bracken reflects on the mindset that guided his work leading transformations at companies like Logitech, Old Spice, Braun, and now VF Corp, home to brands including Vans and The North Face. He shares why curiosity has been one of the greatest drivers of growth in his life, why speed matters more than perfection, and how the best leaders learn to stay optimistic without losing their edge. Ryan and Bracken also explore imposter syndrome, creativity inside large organizations, and the challenge of protecting new ideas from the “gravity” that naturally pulls big companies backward. Along the way, Bracken opens up about becoming more comfortable in his own skin over time and why the strongest brands succeed by helping people feel more like themselves.

In the first episode of a special two-part investigation on "The Capitol Forum Investigates," reporter Ethan Ehrenhaft tells the story of how a former cocaine smuggler taught the government how to surveil the public, and how states, including California, are trying to clamp down on the unchecked proliferation of personal data.

Phil Le-Brun: The Octopus Organization Phil Le-Brun is an executive in residence at Amazon Web Services and a former corporate VP and international CIO at the McDonald's Corporation. He is a sought-after speaker and has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian. He is the co-author with Jana Werner of The Octopus Organization: A Guide to Thriving in a World of Continuous Transformation (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Most of us have gone through some version of a reorg. A lot of leaders have also implemented their own reorgs. Sometimes they work. Many times, they don't. In this conversation, Phil and I discuss what goes wrong with reorgs and how we can do better. Key Points Organizations traditionally looked like the tin man from The Wizard of Oz: perfectly planned, many interchangeable parts, not flexible. An octopus organization adapts, works independently to serve the larger whole, and is innately curious. A reorg that starts with an org chart misses the complex organic connections you are unlikely to fully understand. Prioritize structural stability while building internal flexibility. Nurture the complex informal human networks that deliver value. Be honest about objectives and communicate a reorg early. Engage people by starting with smaller-scale change. Clarify the problem to be solved instead of the structural “answer.” Resources Mentioned The Octopus Organization: A Guide to Thriving in a World of Continuous Transformation by Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner (Amazon, Bookshop)* Interview Notes Download my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).

Faced with slowing domestic growth and rising geopolitical tensions, China is changing its export strategy and selling different things, to different customers, in different places.  Electric vehicles, solar panels and AI-enabled services are replacing low-cost manufactured goods. And the destination? Increasingly, emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America and beyond. China's evolving overseas footprint will have far-reaching credit consequences. From autos in Europe to metals in Latin America and clean energy infrastructure in Asia, this is a global story with local credit impact. The looming question remains: who can adapt and who will buckle under the sustained pressure?

Colorado released former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters on parole June 1 from a women's state correctional facility in Pueblo. She was less than two years into a nearly nine-year sentence for her role in tampering with county voting machines months after the 2020 presidential election, part of an effort to search for election rigging. Peters, who has become a hero among some MAGA voters, wasted no time repeating claims that Democrats are using technology to steal elections. The decision to free Peters early has potentially upended Gov. Jared Polis' final months in office, enraging his political allies and disheartening defenders of the election system.CPR's Bente Birkeland and Tom Hesse dig into this long and complicated tale, from the original plot to access Mesa County's election equipment, to the pressure campaign President Donald Trump launched to free her and Polis' recent clemency decision. They also discuss what her early release could mean for elections and politics in the state, and elsewhere, going forward. Catch up on our latest coverage: Colorado Matters: ‘It brainwashes people:' Head of Colorado's county clerks is concerned Tina Peters' disinformation against elections will continue CPR News: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters released from prison CPR News: Colorado Democrats censure Gov.

Acting as a ‘gentle' introduction to what will be a very challenging upcoming series of episodes, Antony offers some observations and questions on a sprawling range of topics, mostly focused on the harsh realities of this glorious world we inhabit.   How much do we want to know about what really goes on in our name, and what we inadvertently or actively support? What do, or should, we feel about the massive inequalities of power and resources that exist, and the exploitation of powerless humans and even more powerless animals?   This is a fairly ‘safe' episode but the next ones could be extremely emotive and distressing to some.

Brad Wetherall: AI Search, Agentic AI, and How Corporations Must Adapt to Digital Discovery In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden is joined by Brad Wetherall, former Director of Operations at Google and current COO of Esquire Digital, to unpack the transformative impact of AI on search engines and digital visibility.  The conversation explores how search is moving beyond traditional search engine optimization (SEO) to an era where AI agents, neural networks, and zero-click searches are redefining how brands are discovered, trusted, and chosen online.  Brad Wetherall outlines the emergence of "agentic AI" and the rise of the "frontier firm," where human expertise and AI collaborate to generate both authority and visibility in this new digital ecosystem. This episode offers actionable strategies for corporations, regulated industries, and innovators aiming to future-proof their digital presence and leverage the next chapter of AI-led search.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The traditional SEO playbook is now outdated. The critical question is no longer “How do I rank number one on Google?” but “What does AI say about my company?”  AI-generated summaries and answer engines sit at the top of results, often preventing users from ever clicking on links. To succeed, businesses—especially in highly regulated industries—must ensure their information is not just human-readable but also machine-readable, authoritative, and genuinely original. Websites should be built with both humans and AI in mind, making content easily digestible for AI agents. Content creation has become an interplay of art and science: AI values unique human perspective, expertise, and experience—simply generating generic, regurgitated answers will not suffice and may even have negative consequences, as Google's recent algorithm updates penalize unoriginal, AI-generated spam. Building trust, authority, and relevance is now an ongoing process. It's essential to invest in structured content, active reputation management, robust Google Business profiles, and credible third-party validation through PR. AI agents are becoming the intermediaries of trust, filtering which brands and content make it into these AI overviews. Organizations must become agent bosses, orchestrating both human and machine intelligence, and focusing on verifiable outcomes, not just website traffic. The early adopters who build their authority and distinct voice now will lead in this new landscape and avoid the scramble of playing catch-up.   BEST MOMENTS "The question is no longer how do I rank, but rather, what does AI say about my company?" — Sabine VanderLinden "AI is fundamentally changing the rules of digital discovery. We're seeing a once-in-a-generation shift equivalent to the disruption caused by the Internet itself." — Brad Wetherall "There is no easy button. There's no shortcut. It's not just about buying backlinks anymore—AI search requires a different blueprint." — Brad Wetherall "AI wants to know who you are. The authoritativeness and trust in your company or as an individual now matter more than ever." — Brad Wetherall "Clicks were always a flawed metric. Now, what matters is how many customers you get—not just traffic but outcome." — Brad Wetherall "The companies that do this well—who invest in website optimization, unique content, reputation, and public relations—will win the race. It's hard work, but it's how you'll stand out in an AI-driven world." — Brad Wetherall   ABOUT THE GUEST Brad Wetherall is the Chief Operating Officer at Esquire Digital and the best-selling author of AI and the Future of Search. He spent over a decade at Google, leading operations and shaping products like Google Business Profile, Google Shopping, Google Wallet, and Google Domains—helping over 100 million businesses to be discovered online.  Now at Esquire Digital, Brad applies his deep expertise to help companies adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of AI-driven search and digital visibility. His work focuses on demystifying the complex world of AI search and equipping organizations with the tools and strategies they need to remain competitive and authoritative as the digital economy transforms.   ABOUT THE HOST Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures. A builder of accelerators, investor, and co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, Sabine is known for asking the uncomfortable questions—about AI governance, risk, and trust. On Scouting for Growth, she decodes how real growth happens—where capital, collaboration, and courage meet.

Corporations are people in the eyes of the law. But how did that happen, and why does it hand them rights you don't have?  UCLA law professor Adam Winkler, author of "We the Corporations", traces a 200-year campaign by business to win the constitutional rights of human beings. Bethany McLean and Luigi Zingales press him on what Zingales calls an incredible trick. Corporations insist they're separate from their owners when that shields owners from blame, then argue they're like people when they want to spend on elections or dodge a rule.  Winkler traces how the Fourteenth Amendment, written after the Civil War to protect the newly freed, became a tool for railroads and banks instead. He even describes a lawyer who, by his account, lied to the Supreme Court, producing a journal he claimed proved the amendment was meant for corporations.  Zingales pushes on what comes next: could AI itself qualify for legal personhood, and would that shield big tech from blame? When we ask Winkler for a shred of hope that the long arc doesn't simply keep favoring business, the answer is far shorter and blunter than expected.  Connect with us:

企業必須不斷尋找方法，讓整體價值超越各部分的總合。若缺乏全面的策略校準，組織各部門將各自為政，朝不同方向發展。Corporations must continually search for ways to make the whole more valuable than the sum of its parts. Without enterprise-wide alignment, the various parts of the organization will head off in different directions. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Have you ever walked into a meeting and felt like everyone was just wearing a mask of professional perfection while their true selves stayed hidden in the parking lot? It is easy to get lost in the data and the dashboards of modern work, but we often forget that the people behind those numbers are what actually drive the results. We all want to be part of a team where we are seen for who we really are rather than just what we can produce. In this episode, I sit down with Veronique Subileau, the Senior Vice President of HR at UGI Corporation, to explore the invisible roots of corporate culture that turn a 140-year-old energy company into a breakthrough environment. Veronique shares her unique philosophy on why leaders must touch the heart before speaking about results, offering practical tools like her four core questions regarding fun and purpose to foster deep human connection. You'll learn how to navigate the tension between high-performance standards and radical authenticity through the company's poetic values framework while discovering why the shadow you cast as a leader determines the energy of your entire team. We also dive into the future of work as Veronique explains how to invest in humans as much as technology by using AI to unleash time so employees can shift from being human doings to true human beings. This episode redefines the role of the leader as a human prompt engineer who knows how to pull unique creativity and heart out of a workforce in an increasingly automated world.

Colorado's primary elections are just around the corner. And there's a lot riding on them — all of the statewide constitutional offices are on the ballot — and thanks to term limits, all of those races are wide open, including Colorado's top office: governor. The fields include a who's who of Colorado politics, and one newcomer who may have the potential to shake things up.CPR's Bente Birkeland talks with The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul and CPR's Ben Markus about who's on the Democratic and Republican tickets and the dynamics at play as they vie for votes. The five hopefuls on the ballot are running at a time when both parties are doing a bit of soul searching, and Coloradans on both sides of the aisle seem frustrated with the status quo. Catch up on our latest coverage: CPR News: 2026 Colorado Primary Election Voter Guide CPR News: Bottoms, Kirkmeyer make their cases to primary voters in CPR News gubernatorial candidates debate CPR News: Democratic gubernatorial candidates Bennet and Weiser make their pitches to voters in live debate The Colorado Sun: A third of Colorado voters have still never heard of Phil Weiser, poll shows CPR News: Colorado GOP governor primary pits MAGA candidates against establishment favorite The Colorado Sun: Tina Peters isn't the first Colorado convict to become a central figure in a governor's race Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (5.26) Corporations are targeting the veterinary world because the business model is almost too good to ignore. Pet care is considered recession-resistant because roughly two-thirds of American households' own pets, and most people now treat their animals like family. That means owners are often willing to pay for care even when budgets are tight. Add in the “silver tsunami” of baby boomer veterinarians retiring and selling their clinics, and suddenly there is a flood of practices available for deep-pocketed buyers. Then comes vertical integration: the same large players can own the clinic, the lab, the medicine, the diagnostics, and even the pet insurance. That is how companies make money at every step of the process.
