On this episode of Ask the Expert, Emma Glaser is in the podcast studio with Sara Swift, an SMU junior who holds the Miss Colorado title. Listen to this episode to learn more about Sara's journey to the crown, her Happy Hearts initiative, and how she balances the responsibilities of the crown with her college commitments.

Living an active outdoor life, the idea of heart disease was the furthest thing on the minds of Sarah's family. That all changed, when her father suffered a fatal heart attack when Sarah was just 6 years old. Understandably, this event filled her with fear and misunderstanding, but that wasn't the life she wanted for herself. At age 17 Sarah declared her desire to enter the Miss Colorado pageant--a decision that would set the stage for a new path.As the current reigning Miss Colorado, this 20 year old has turned her grief into a tool for good. The beautiful synergies of the Miss America organization and the American Heart Association partnering to promote heart health awareness, with Sarah's experience inspired her to devote her community service initiative to a heart-felt message. Through her Happy Hearts Campaign, she seeks to educate and inspire her generation and the youngsters coming up behind her to be thoughtful about their choices as they lay the foundation for their future selves.Join Michelle's 12-week YOU Revolution program to absolutely change your life...

Listen to how Arianna started her pageant career at an early age and was a contestant for Miss USA, pivoting into becoming a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and student.

We're doing something that has never, ever been done. For the first time in 100 years, we're going backstage at Miss America and sitting down to hear their stories. Including the ultimate winner, Miss Colorado, Madison Marsh!!! And what I found out about these girls is that they are deep wells. They aren't pretty faces with shallow insides. They are astrophysicists. They are people who have survived police brutality, losing their parents to cancer. So many different things.. poverty, drug addiction with their parents. You have no idea what these girls have gone through. And yet they're working on living their dream. I want you to be inspired to dream some more. I want you to be inspired to live your dreams. You might not make it the first time. But let your loss be your lesson and you try again! Maybe you can get up one more time and you can dream really big. Let's go!

Today we talk about SpaceX success and failures, Miss Colorado makes history as first active service member to be crowned Miss America,  China's record-breaking Gravity-1 rocket, a DOD audit finds that More than $1B in US military aid to Ukraine not properly tracked by the Pentagon,  the first Army NCOs get automatic promotions for completing recruiting school, and the US military academies focus on oaths and loyalty to Constitution.

The United States is frozen! Another reason for me not to go to the state of Florida - Monkeys with herpes. Traveler claims she was forced to sit under a dripping bag on Southwest flight. A wannabe influencer dumped feces on unsuspecting metro riders. Guessing he was trying to compete with Mr. Beast's success. Highway signs are about to get less funny. Non-human alien corpses are what most of us thought they were. Miss Colorado, Madison Marsh won Miss America. And DeHuff uncensored was ranked #1 best Colorado Funny and Comedy podcast by FeedSpot.

Florida State vs. Clemson. Notre Dame vs. Ohio State. Ole Miss vs. Alabama. Colorado vs. Oregon. A Mount Rushmore of big-time matchups and I'm barely scratching the surface. We've got six (6!!!) head-to-head ranked matchups this week. Two games with ranked teams favored on the road against unranked opponents. Plus, two more really fun matchups for my household (and I get to choose the slate so we all get to have fun with them as well). Any one of these games would've been the best game of the slate last week. Instead, they join forces together as an infinity stone gauntlet of a college football weekend. If you've got plans this weekend outside of football, cancel them. Gender reveal party? College friend visiting from across the country? Sister's wedding? Shame on them. Last week was right there for the taking. Gotta check the schedule before you try to ruin a football weekend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the beginning, this Podcast started as a way to share the stories of unconventional success, overcoming the odds and how I, and my guests, made a choice to be vulnerable by pulling back the curtain on our struggles, mistakes, wins and everything in between.

This week I sit with Madison Dorenkamp, Miss Colorado USA, and we discuss Goals and Motivation as she prepares for the Miss USA Competition! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/milehighradio-industry/support

"Bring It Up with Deb and Cindy" is heard in Denver at 3pm Saturdays on 94.7 FM The Word as well as across the nation.  "Deb," of Deb and Cindy, discusses her background as a former Miss Colorado and an actress in Hollywood, and gives us an inside look at the radio program "Bring It Up."

Some people call her a beauty queen. We call her a scholar. This is the slogan of the Miss America pageant for the state of Colorado.  Shannon Patilla (2016 Miss Colorado) and Patricia Regan Leines-Pike (1997 Miss Oregon) discuss their experiences and why these pageants are important. If you are like me and think that all pageants are the same, well, you are going to be schooled just as I. I was a judge at this year’s pageant and did I have a lot to learn. First of all I thought all pageants were the same. To be honest I thought a bit superficial. But when I heard these young women in their interviews give some amazing answers coupled with actions steps of what they would like to do as well as shared what they are currently doing on a variety of topics, my mindset changed.  The state of Colorado and the nation for that matter are in great hands with these brilliant young women. From science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to post traumatic stress disorder and from suicide awareness to emergency first responders, these women are getting it done. --- John Register, Paralympic Long Jump Silver Medalist | Inspirational Catalyst | Change Management Speaker | Author | Long Jump Record Holder | Gulf War Vet | Disability Rights Advocate | and 2 x TEDx Speaker.
