It's officially summer in the Mile High City, and for many Denverites that means it's time to high-tail it to the nearest shady spot on the bank of a mountain creek. But what if instead of escaping our day-to-day lives, we Denverites were escaping a horde of bloodthirsty zombies? Would that shady spot offer good defenses? Provisions? And what about the long-term chances for survival? Denver Business Journal reporter Catie Cheshire joined producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love last year to swap notes and talk through our survival strategies for a zombie apocalypse in Denver.  This episode first aired on Aug. 6, 2025. We discuss Catie's report on Coors Field for Westword as the inspiration for this episode, and Paul mentioned Catie's excellent recent report on the business leaders asking whether now is the time to demolish office buildings downtown. Olivia talked about Ark Tactical in Lakewood. Paul discussed nuclear missile silos.  Who brought the best survival plan — Catie, Olivia or Paul? Also, we want to know who you'd team up with. Or are you going it alone somewhere else entirely? We want to hear from you!

In this episode, Melanie Rua of Bloomberg Intelligence sits down with Randall Strickland, a sustainable investment advisor to philanthropic organizations, and Jesse Gerstin, faculty at the Bard MBA in Sustainability and community finance practitioner at the nonprofit Inclusiv.  Together, they untangle the differences between ESG, sustainable finance and impact investing; and discuss how the field is evolving amid political backlash and shifting narratives. Despite the headlines, they argue that the underlying work of aligning finance with environmental and social outcomes continues—often under different names.  The conversation covers public and private markets, the long-term opportunity in clean energy, and the financial fluency today's sustainability leaders need to drive meaningful change across every sector. This episode captures the energy of Bard's 'Inside Sustainability Live' series, where real-world practitioners and academics come together to build community and share strategies for advancing sustainability work in challenging times. Bard's Graduate Programs in Sustainability cultivate leaders who break through existing systems, innovating solutions to critical social, environmental and economic challenges. 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of the first graduating class from M.S. in Environmental Policy degree at Bard CEP and the 10th graduating class from the Bard MBA in Sustainability program.

For more than four decades, Gail Eisnitz has investigated factory farms and slaughterhouses in the United States, documenting practices that most people never see. In this episode of Vegan Boss Radio, Gail shares what she witnessed during her years as an undercover investigator and why she believes transparency about the realities of animal agriculture is so important. Some parts of this conversation include descriptions of animal abuse inside factory farms and slaughterhouses, which may be difficult to hear. But as Gail explains, bringing these hidden practices into public awareness has been a central part of her life's work. We discuss: • What Gail witnessed during her investigations inside factory farms and slaughterhouses • Why so much of the meat industry operates out of public view • The challenges and personal toll of documenting animal abuse for decades • How public awareness has historically driven policy change • Gail's new memoir, Out of Sight, and the personal journey behind her investigative work Whether you're already vegan or simply curious about how our food systems operate, this conversation offers a rare look inside an industry that most consumers never see firsthand. About Gail Eisnitz Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has spent decades documenting and exposing the hidden realities of the U.S. meat industry. She is the chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the memoir Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in The Washington Post that ultimately resulted in a multimillion-dollar annual Congressional appropriation to enforce the Humane Slaughter Act — the first funding ever allocated to enforce the law more than 40 years after it was passed. Her investigative work has led to major media exposés on ABC's Good Morning America, ABC's PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC and has been featured in major publications including The New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, the Denver Business Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report. Her interviews have also been broadcast on more than 1,600 radio stations. In her memoir Out of Sight, Eisnitz takes readers on a deeply personal journey as she works to expose systemic animal abuse while navigating a rare visual processing disorder she has lived with since childhood — a condition that was only identified in scientific literature about a decade ago and was formally diagnosed while she was writing the book. Eisnitz has been vegan for more than two decades.

Gail Eisnittz joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about structuring her memoir around her pursuit of answers to a lifelong medical mystery, coming to terms with her own humanness, writing about her career in animal advocacy, exposing the underbelly of the meat industry and effecting change for millions of animals, working on difficult and hard-to-sell material, not sharing a book project with friends and loved ones until it's complete, weathering a difficult submission process, allowing herself to soften emotionally, becoming more in touch with self-compassion, and her new memoir Out of Sightz: An Undercover Investigator's Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival.   Also in this episode: -factory farms -writing what feels right -discovering what holds the book together   Books mentioned in this episode:  The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku The Choice by Dr. Eva Edith Eger The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris Gail A.

In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere ten years ago – was diagnosed after she began writing her memoir – and is revealed at the book's climax.  Connect with Gail: Website: www.GailEisnitz.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gail.eisnitz Humane Farming Association: www.hfa.org   – Ronit's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Rumpus, The New York Times, Poets & Writers, The Iowa Review, Hippocampus, The Washington Post, Writer's Digest, American Literary Review, and elsewhere.

Yet some abusive trainers still subject horses to this inhumane practice through the use of blistering agents—mustard oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene—as well as through mechanical means—the use of foreign objects inside shoes, and the use of heavy chains that irritate chemically treated tissue. Soring causes excruciating pain to horses when their feet touch the ground, causing them to lift their feet higher than normal. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act would strengthen existing law by ending industry self-policing, banning certain devices, and generating stiffer penalties for trainers who sore their horses.

[3:12] Ryan Harris became a Super Bowl Champion after winning Super Bowl 50 in 2015 with the Denver Broncos. He retired in 2016. [3:21] Beyond the field, Ryan has continued to work to win. For his contributions to Denver's business community, Ryan was the First African American to be awarded Colorado Sportscaster of the Year in 2020. [3:33] Ryan was also named to Denver Business Journal's 40 under 40 class of 2021. He is an analyst for his alma mater, Notre Dame. [3:42] On May 6th, Ryan Harris will be a mainstage speaker at RISKWORLD in Chicago where he will discuss transformative "5 Components of Championship Leadership," emphasizing how the direction from which leaders operate shapes their effectiveness. [3:58] We're going to have so much fun speaking to Ryan, and we might even get his predictions on Super Bowl LIX. Let's get to it! [4:06] Interview! Super Bowl L Champion, and RISKWORLD 2025 Keynote Speaker, Ryan Harris, welcome to RIMScast! [4:18] Ryan Harris is the first Super Bowl Champion to join us on RIMScast! Justin and Ryan are both big fans of the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver. [5:09] Ryan loves the idea of having people together at RISKWORLD 2025 to find groundbreaking solutions and try new things. That's how you win in football; that's how you win in life! Ryan looks forward to a convention of people looking for what's next with the skills they have now.  [5:32] Ryan says playing NFL football in Chicago was cold. He recalls that playing on Soldier Field feels like you're in a spaceship; the way the stadium bows out and comes right up is unique! [5:49] One of Ryan's favorite memories of playing against the Chicago Bears was when the Broncos beat the Bears in a tight game, the year the Broncos went to win the Super Bowl! It was an important win! [6:02] Ryan credits Head Coach Gary Kubiak for inspiring the team to win that day in Chicago by shortening team meetings from an hour to 15 minutes. So they kept the 15-minute meetings for the rest of the year and won the Super Bowl! Ryan loves going to Chicago. [5:38] Ryan had said that one of the things he was going to do after the Super Bowl was get into broadcasting. He didn't have to go to anybody else to make that happen. [6:55] Ryan says the plan starts with you! You need nothing outside of yourself to be great. You cannot expect other people to work harder for you and your goals. You're working toward them. [7:06] Ryan got his “doctorate” in Applied Football Mechanics and Theory. He went into broadcasting to use all that knowledge. He was selected by the NFL to go to a Broadcast Boot Camp and meet the best of the best in the broadcast industry. [7:20] On the last day, one of the presenters told them to go to their Alma Maters and work their way up. Ryan canceled his flight home, rented a car, and drove from that symposium to Notre Dame, and that's where he got his first broadcasting job. [7:34] Ryan says it started with him listening, taking action, and telling people what he wanted to do and how he wanted to get involved. You sometimes have to work for free to get started, and then you don't. [7:59] Everyone can sit on the couch and say they want to do something. The difference is the people who put their feet where they want to be. [8:04] At the Broadcast Boot Camp, Ryan saw an old college football rival. They hugged it out. The NFL is one big office building and there aren't a lot of chairs. Spend a couple of years there and you'll get to know a lot of people in the NFL and they'll get to know you. [8:31] Ryan is currently in law school. His “doctorate” is from “Peyton Manning University.” He had great “professors” like Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith, and Tim Tebow. He went through quite the school of football thought. [8:47] It's fun to have that knowledge, but it's useless as a father or a keynote speaker. He can't go hit people anymore. He had to change, and it's been fun doing that. [9:17] Ryan has a double major in Political Science, and Economics and Policy. From Political Science he learned that there are many ways to solve social problems. In economics, he learned that having two parents in your life puts you in the top 1% of opportunities in America. [9:51] There are key figures in your life or the education you receive that drastically change economic outcomes. What kinds of levers motivate people? There are many ways to do the same thing. It's a matter of degree and what fits the situation. [10:34] Ryan's advice on stories: 1. People remember the first 20 words you say. 2. Storytelling is more valuable than a Master's in Business Administration. [10:55] Start a story with a main theme. “We're going to talk about failure. This is a time I failed. On my sixth day in college football in training camp, I got knocked to the ground.” Our brains love tangible examples. Examples get people into the story. Then Ryan introduces the obstacle.  [11:18] “At one point in Kansas City, I wanted to quit.” He tells what he learned from it. He always brings a big idea that everybody understands and gives a concrete example from his life, what he said to himself, how he went through it, and what he learned from it. [11:45] When we can bring people into our story and talk about our failures and how we worked out of them, we help others and create impact. [12:14] Ryan attests that you don't win by ignoring the struggle. He speaks of factors of success and elements of success. Factors are things like having money and goods. Elements are things that have to happen for you to be successful. [12:30] Failure is an element of success! You have to fail to reach your highest potential. That's the only way it works. Any famous person or industry has had a failure or ten, along the way. We don't talk enough about our failures. Having a process for failure dictates your success. [13:05] Kickers in the NFL focus on process. Golfers focus on process. When you focus on the process, you reduce anxiety by 78%. You have the power to create the process for the failure you need. Then you start to have fun! [13:22] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Resolver will be joining us on February 6th to discuss “4 Themes Shaping the Future of GRC in 2025”. [13:34] HUB International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [13:50] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [14:02] Nominations are also open for the Donald M. Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. Links are in this episode's show notes. [14:13] The First of (hopefully) Many RIMS Texas Regional Conferences will be held in San Antonio from August 4th through 6th, 2025.

[14:55] The deadline to submit your proposal is Monday, February 24th. The link to the event and the submission process is in this episode's show notes. Go check it out! [15:07] Let's Return to My Interview with Super Bowl 50 Champion and RISKWORLD 2025 Keynote, Ryan Harris!   [15:20] Ryan Harris had an NFL career of 10 years, about 300% longer than the average NFL career. Justin asks what lessons of his career apply themselves most to risk management. [15:43] Preparation is number one. What are you preparing for? When you're an NFL lineman you get prepared for different blitzes, an extra person who's going to come from a different place. The key to picking up the blitz is knowing it's coming. You anticipate it. [15:58] Anticipation is very big. Then take the space that you need. Ryan tells of introducing himself to Mark Cuban, as a fan, referring to a book about him. Don't hold back. Introduce yourself to people you want to meet. In the NFL, you learn you have to take action. [16:45] Go do it. You don't get to know if it's successful or not until the end. That's what Ryan loves bringing to people about the game of football. [17:22] If you are looking to transition from one career to another, 1. Find out how to listen with curiosity. You add value by being curious. 2. Ask “How” or “What” questions, not “Why” questions. 3. Follow up. Call or email. Do those three things and you are going to be successful. [18:47] Ryan Harris will bring his positivity to RISKWORLD. Positivity is one of the most important elements of success. Some hard experiences are a part of succeeding. Find a way to stay positive. It is so easy to be negative. Be positive and look at the obstacles in front of you. [19:36] Look at the things you can do with the skills you can add to be successful. The positivity keeps you moving faster in that direction. [19:59] What about injuries? Ryan Harris has had nine surgeries; four of them on his back! One time, walking to dinner, his body locked up, being so swollen from the impact in the game. [20:19] The biggest thing people miss about professional athletes is how they take care of their bodies. Ryan has been doing yoga for 17 years. The Kansas City Chiefs are on their way to their third straight Super Bowl. They've had yoga every Tuesday at their facility for the last 10 years. [20:46] If you want to know what the greats are doing, they're doing yoga. They start with yoga, a stretch, hydration, and nutrition to repair. All those things matter, but also the mindset they're in. Tell your body, I don't care how you feel right now, we've got to lift at 11:00. Then do it. [21:13] Find a way. Get the kinks out. It is mind over matter. [21:42] Ryan explains how he, as an offensive tackle, adjusted for a blitz. The key to being great is using all the information that's out there. We fail sometimes to realize the information that's at our fingertips because we're not even looking. [21:55] When Ryan was with the Kansas City Chiefs, his 8th year in the NFL, a coach taught him, “Ryan, that spacing doesn't make sense. What is the field telling you right now?” He had not looked up beyond the line. When he looked, he could see the safety positioned to blitz. [22:36] Ryan took it upon himself to get all the information he could before the snap. That made the play easier. He anticipated this guy going there, and he pushed him hard, helping his teammate. He was ready to attack the guy who was coming. That could apply to a sales call. [22:54] Any situation you face will be easier if you gather all the information that's available about it. Make backup plans. [23:09] Ryan talks about entrepreneur Jesse Itzler. He went to Davos to sell hourly memberships on his airplane. He couldn't get in, but he found out everyone was going to one coffee shop for a muffin and coffee. On the last day, he bought all the muffins and sat in the corner. [23:27] Someone walked in for a muffin. The shopkeeper said he's got them over there. Jesse said, I've got a muffin for you, do you want it? That was his first sale. Do everything you can, take in all the information you can, and apply it strategically. [24:08] Ryan predicts the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win Super Bowl LIX. He believes their willingness is the highest. The number one thing you learn in winning a Super Bowl is you have to be willing, not perfect. Ryan says most people are unwilling to be imperfect to succeed. [24:23] The Kansas City Chiefs don't care what it looks like. They're willing to win the game with 13 seconds left on the clock or with five seconds left on the clock. [24:34] For those who will be watching as a casual spectator, look for somebody to make a mistake and see if they're strong enough to come back and make a play again. If you can find that person, that team is a likely winner. [24:51] Ryan, it's been such a pleasure to meet you today! I look forward to seeing you again in May. I'll be in the front, right there, waving to you! I'll try not to distract you too much, though! [24:58] Ryan says, “Please try, I'm used to it! I love you, Justin. Thanks for having me, my friend!” [25:04] Special thanks again to Super Bowl Champion and award-winning broadcaster,  Ryan Harris, for joining us here on RIMScast.

In the ever-evolving world of real estate investing, there are few individuals who possess the wealth of knowledge and experience that Kevin Amolsch brings to the table. With a remarkable background that includes serving in the US Army and working on Wall Street, Kevin has emerged as a true powerhouse in the industry. Armed with a degree in Finance and an unwavering passion for real estate, he has successfully closed over 2,400 transactions as a buyer, seller, and private money lender. Kevin is the esteemed author of The 45-Day Investor, a comprehensive guide that offers invaluable insights into the art of real estate investing. Furthermore, Kevin's expertise has been featured in renowned publications such as The Las Vegas Review Journal, The Denver Post, Yahoo Real Estate, Denver Business Journal, and Forbes. As a frequent speaker, Kevin generously shares his wealth of knowledge, empowering aspiring investors and lending a guiding hand to those navigating the intricate world of real estate. THE EFFECTS OF RECESSION AND RISING INTEREST RATES There are potential repercussions of a looming economic recession on the real estate market. They both agree that recessions can breed significant opportunities, especially for savvy dealmakers ready to adapt. Kevin, who is particularly excited about the commercial real estate side, predicts an imminent increase in defaults, mainly due to the rising interest rates. He explains that since lenders base their loans on debt service coverage ratios, many sellers will not qualify for refinancing when their loan terms mature. As a result, these owners will have no choice but to sell, creating ripe opportunities for deal makers in the commercial real estate sector. The residential real estate side, however, presents more uncertainties. Kevin acknowledges the need for more inventory, which could drive a spread between wholesale and retail values. High construction costs, builders backing out, and a lack of property initiatives have left him unsure of where additional inventory could emerge. Kevin speculates that possible foreclosures stemming from higher interest rates or an uptick in unemployment could increase inventory, but he remains cautious. Finding Opportunities Amidst Challenges We have never experienced a period where interest rates have been held artificially low for so long, leading to a population locked into low-rate mortgages. When the cost of capital rises, so do the prices of homes. With the current drastic interest rate gap, the market might take longer to adjust. Despite these challenges, the real estate market's relative inefficiency, especially compared to the stock market, creates ample opportunities. The entry of institutional buyers and the advent of i-Buying programs may have increased efficiency. During times of economic uncertainty, it's crucial to underscore the importance of diversification, strategic positioning, investment discipline, and learning from mistakes.

It's Tuesday and we're breaking down the big stories of the week so far: The mayor's race is heating up, and we're finally getting to know the lesser known candidates — like Andy Rougeot, who made some big claims on AM radio recently, which 9News promptly investigated. Then, there's the story of Maggie Barton, a teacher who was fired from All Souls Catholic school in Englewood — the Archdiocese claims it wasn't because she's gay. Later, we talk local business, with VF Corp's recent slump and Duffeyroll's surprising growth. Finally, we debut “Paul's Movie Corner” so producer Paul Karolyi has an excuse to talk about a weird Netflix movie starring Kevin James as the Broncos incoming head coach, Sean Peyton. (Oh, and we have a Casa Bonita update, but shhhh it's top secret!) Thanks to 9News, CPR, and Denver Business Journal for their reporting and to Bree's unnamed friend who may or may not have snuck her a photo of the inside of a still-in-progress Casa Bonita renovation.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver by texting “Denver” to 66866 Follow us on Twitter: @citycastdenver Or instagram: @citycastdenver Chat with other listeners on reddit: r/CityCastDenver Should we invite some expert guests to watch the Sean Payton biopic with us?
