While President Trump is dealing with his own group chat drama, Mayor Mike Johnston is under fire for using the encrypted messaging system Signal to conduct official city communications. But is the mayor's secret “Strike Force” an issue of transparency or just business as usual? Then, City Council made a surprise move this week, rejecting a $3 million contract with the service provider Salvation Army over safety concerns at one of Denver's homeless shelters. Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by former mayoral candidate and returning fave Lisa Calderón to dig into all the drama — plus, a new food hall, dems respond to the presidential portrait drama, and more wins and fails of the week. Paul talked about Chef Jose Avila's new spot and the Trump portrait at the statehouse. Bree mentioned the death of Brian Vogt, the CEO of Denver Botanic Gardens, and new speed cameras. Lisa mentioned her organization Women Uprising. What do you think about the mayor's use of Signal? Should they add Paul to the group chat?

Four stabbings along the 16th Street Mall last weekend left two people dead and put downtown back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Was the tragic violence just another sign of an increasingly unsafe city? Or an outlier on the path back to a vibrant, thriving downtown? Former mayoral candidate and criminal justice reform advocate Lisa Calderón joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to discuss the vibe shift downtown and all the other big stories of the week — from the mayor's needle exchange veto to the massive news about the future of the Park Hill Golf Course. Paul quoted from former mayor Wellington Webb's comments at the PHGC press conference, Mayor Johnston's statement on vetoing the needle exchange proposal and the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment's 2024 report on syringe access. He also mentioned the Uber lawsuit and a “true old-school Chinese breakfast.” Bree mentioned our episode about the City of Denver's bison herd.

Colorado recorded a record-high number of gun deaths in 2021, according to the Colorado Sun. While gun violence has waned since then, it's not decreasing fast enough for many Denverites, including Mayor Mike Johnston. He announced last week his new plan to reduce gun crime in Denver by 20% in 2024 by expanding the city's focus on high-crime areas known as “hot spots.” So host Bree Davies is sitting down with former mayoral candidate and criminal justice professor Lisa Calderón to talk about how Johnston's strategy compares with his predecessor and what she'd be doing differently. Bree mentioned the new plan Mayor Mike Johnston announced Wednesday to fund newcomer response, including budget cuts to many city departments. Lisa talked about this community event coming up on May 13. Do you have a question for Mayor Mike? We're sitting down with the mayor later this month, and we want your help!

It's Friday! Although election night is behind us, we're still waiting for all the ballots to be counted. We know for sure that Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough will face off in the June mayoral runoff and that Lisa Calderón officially conceded. But the outcomes in several city council seats are still too close to call. Host Bree Davies is joined by our state politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval, and Jason Bane, co-host of the Colorado politics podcast Get More Smarter, to discuss the state of the progressive vote in the Mile High, and how negative narratives about crime and homelessness impacted the election. Then it's all about that dark money already flowing into next year's state election from a group that's aiming to unseat Lauren Boebert.

It's Election Day! We'll be back to dig into the results on tomorrow's episode. But for now, we're digging into a whole mess of overlooked stories: First, a mysterious rumor that Denver is home to one of the first fully automated fast food joints. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi take on the “Case of the Robot-Run McDonald's” with the help of a listener. Plus, Denver has built parks on top of graveyards, but did you know we're also home to an amusement park built on top of an old power plant? And, the days of ample, free parking near Colfax may be ending, and why a thousand passionate pickleballers got the boot from Congress Park. Here's some of the late-breaking election news we're NOT talking about: “Denver mayoral candidate Lisa Calderón, Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca named in campaign finance violation complaints” [The Denver Post] “Big out-of-state money is flowing to support Mike Johnston again” [Denverite] Voter turnout is looking low!

My guest for the latest Creative Spirits Unleashed Podcast episode is Lisa Calder. I met Lisa at the Equus Film Festival in December. When I watched her work in the round pen, I was immediately intrigued by her leadership style with horses. She has the precise balance of connection and direction that creates a seemingly effortless dance together, the kind of balance I call Dancing the Tightrope. This was one of the most unforgettable conversations I've ever had. Early on, Lisa shared some of her darkest days with a story that took my breath away. Literally, as she told it, I had to remind myself to breathe. Her story is a powerful reminder of our inner strength if we can get out of our own way to let it rise to the surface. She also shared her experience with burnout and how she finally learned how to say no and to walk with her spine and open heart. You have to hear how she described what this looks and feels like, because it is yet another balancing act. Many times during this conversation, I realized that Lisa was giving all of us a master class in self-awareness. Lisa Calder is the creator of Mindful Horsemanship. Her one-of-a-kind approach to horsemanship combines personal development and a unique way of using the breath while working with the horse, creating an unbreakable bond of true connection. Lisa believes if we are only working on our horse, we are missing the art of horsemanship. One must change their unconscious behaviors from within in order to create lasting change in their relationships.

Lisa Calderón is one of those people in Denver politics that everybody knows. Whether she's running to be Denver's first female mayor or making change by working as Chief of Staff for her friend, Councilperson Candi CdeBaca, she's built power around her name.

In this episode we’re speaking with Dr. Lisa Calder, CEO of the Canadian Medical Protective Association, known as the CMPA. She stepped into the role in August last year and is the CMPA’s first female CEO. Dr. Calder studied medicine at the University of Western Ontario and did an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Ottawa. She has a Master of Science degree in Epidemiology and was an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Calder pursued her passion for patient safety by completing two additional fellowships: the Patient Safety Fellowship in Emergency Medicine from the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the Emergency Medicine Patient Safety Foundation, and the American Hospital Association’s Fellowship in Patient Safety Leadership. She spent more than a decade practising as an emergency physician before joining the CMPA in 2015 as the Director of Medical Care Analytics. When Covid 19 hit, Dr. Calder and her leadership team moved quickly, using a variety of tools to support their physician members during this tumultuous year. She credits her own experience as an emergency physician for teaching her disaster training and how to live with unpredictability. Today Dr. Calder says the mission of the CMPA has never been more important - to protect the professional integrity of physicians and promote the safety of medical care. Quotables “There are things that we can see that are right in front of us, and are being reported in terms of numbers, but there are impacts that are more subtle – on our well-being, on the way we work together, and those are the ones that I find tricky to put my finger on and understand.” – LC “We have a phone line which is available to our membership and we receive up to 200 calls a day from our physicians asking for advice.” – LC “We’re always, when we look at medico-legal data looking back in time. We’re limited by what’s actually documented and that’s a significant limitation because we know that a lot happens in the moment when physicians are making critical decisions that does not get documented.” – LC “I’ve seen a real shift, which I think is hugely positive to a more of a personal tone to the communication, more of a ‘sharing struggles’ and a willingness to be humble and authentic on the part of leaders.” – LC “I want to know from employees, what does it mean when we say ‘We are here for you? What does that translate for you in tangible terms in your day-to-day work?’” – LC “I’m fiercely protective of my lunch break every day. I need time away from my computer and I use that time to go for a quick walk around the block and then to meditate.” – LC “At HIROC we introduced the Collision Chats, where we pair up staff randomly and they meet up for 5-10 minutes and that’s a way of having those hallways conversations online if possible.” – PAD “The challenges ahead for the healthcare system are huge and so we will need more collaborative approaches to address these. I don’t think siloing organizations – everyone doing their own thing –is going to advance us where we need to be.” – LC Mentioned in this Episode: CMPA University of Ottawa – Faculty of Medicine Dr. Mamta Gautam Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on iTunes.
