Welcome to Real Good Denver, I'm Ryan Estes. Denver, we have a problem. We love the mountains, the desert, the river, the hunt, the ride, and then we come back to camp covered in dust, sweat, and regret with half a Nalgene and a pack of baby wipes that lie. Today's guest fixes that. Jonathan from Geyser Systems built what he calls an astronaut shower that can clean two people with 0.8 gallons. His team has already showered more than 35,000 people at festivals and events while saving at least 250,000 gallons of water. We are talking real Colorado innovation from Montrose. Or Montrose. You decide. In this episode you will learn how a van trip in Australia turned into a water-efficiency company, how a sponge at the end of a hose beats a showerhead at its own game, and how a Nalgene can become a four-minute hot shower. You will hear the founder's playbook for hardware, manufacturing, and building products that actually change behavior. This one is for founders, inventors, overlanders, river rats, elk hunters, and anyone who respects water like it is sacred. https://geysersystems.com/ https://realgooddenver.com/

Lee and Daniel are joined by Lee's long-time best friend Peter to talk about a movie they bonded over back in high school in the late 1990s, "The Stöned Age" (1994), directed by James Melkonian. This R-rated stoner buddy comedy feels like the crude love child of "Dazed and Confused" & "Wayne's World". Is it perhaps better than both of those films? Is it at least more fun?

In this lively, laughter-filled episode, Janina chats with Tom Gilbey - the man who made wine fun again by tasting a different bottle at every mile of a marathon. They dive into everything from the fossil-rich soils of Chablis and the changing world of en primeur Bordeaux, to how to host your own playful blind tastings at home. Along the way, Tom shares tips for making wine approachable (and hilarious), highlights his favorite Bordeaux wines and “Super Seconds,” and reminds us that enjoying a bottle should be full of joy, stories, and a little mischief. Shownotes  [01:42] Wine fact of the episode — the history behind the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and how it still shapes prestige and pricing today. [05:05] Tom shares how his viral “Wine Marathon” began: tasting a different wine every mile, his son's support, and the unexpected global response that followed. [08:36] From chaos to community - how a family experiment turned into a worldwide audience and new passion for wine communication. [11:17] The art of blind tasting - from marathon guesses to what he learned about focus, humility, and having fun with wine. [13:03] Janina and Tom discuss Thirsty and how his stories highlight the humour, generosity, and humanity of the wine trade. [15:33] Why blind tasting should be playful - ideas for home tastings, favourite tricky grapes like Nerello Mascalese and Baga, and the concept of “Wine Sports Day.” [21:30] Turning to Bordeaux — Tom's reflections on 2005 vintages, learning from Robert Parker, and how palate trends shaped global styles. [25:23] Bordeaux today: en primeur uncertainty, Château Latour's exit from the system, and why Tom says wine should be enjoyed, not invested in. [28:27] Blind tasting first growths versus super seconds - and how labels, price, and reputation influence what we think we taste. [31:03] Highlights on Château Montrose, Léoville Las Cases, and La Mission Haut-Brion - some of the ‘Super-Seconds'. [33:41] From Bordeaux to Burgundy - discussing Chablis, its fossils, minerality, and that unforgettable sense of “tasting the sea.” [37:37] Janina and Tom reflect on how palates evolve - from bold New World wines to subtle Old World elegance. [40:12] Beaujolais Nouveau nostalgia — London's 1980s celebrations, and Tom's upcoming Beaujolais Party at Sophie's in Piccadilly. [44:13] Tom's early years: studying at Plumpton College, researching English wine in the '90s, and predicting the rise of world-class English sparkling. [47:15] Wrapping up with Battle of the Grapes: Tom picks his favourite grape varieties

What do a struggling student, a decorated Navy SEAL, and a hospital CEO all have in common? The answer: Jeff Mengenhausen.In this explosive episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with the only Navy SEAL in the country running a hospital—a man who's rewriting the rules of leadership, resilience, and what healthcare should really be.Jeff's story is anything but ordinary. Once labeled a “poor student,” he went on to earn Navy SEAL honors, a Purple Heart, and combat commendations. Today, he's transforming Montrose Regional Health into one of the most respected community hospitals in the nation. But his mission doesn't stop there—Jeff is exposing the cracks in America's hospital culture and challenging the grip Big Pharma and profit-driven systems have on patient care.Inside this episode, we ask:Why isn't the Navy SEAL ethos of “embrace the suck” translating into healthcare leadership?What behind-the-scenes SEAL lessons still drive Jeff's decisions as a hospital CEO?Why are so many hospitals failing their patients—and how is Montrose setting a new standard?Has Big Pharma hijacked the direction of care in America?And after trillions spent on cancer and chronic disease, why aren't outcomes improving?This conversation isn't just about medicine. It's about survival, clarity under pressure, and the courage to flip a broken system on its head.Learn more about Jeff Mengenhausen and Montrose Regional Health:Montrose Regional HealthWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

What if the stress, burnout, and uncertainty you're feeling right now are actually guiding you toward something better? That's exactly what happened to Kansas Staffy, who went from feeling overwhelmed in her clinical job to running a thriving private practice, Talk and Taste Pediatric Therapy, in Delta and Montrose, Colorado.Kansas is a speech-language pathologist who specializes in AAC and feeding therapy. After working in home health, and outpatient clinics, she realized that traditional settings weren't allowing her to take care of her health—or serve clients the way she wanted to.Like many clinicians, Kansas once said, “I never want to own a business.” But after facing health challenges and the stress of an audit at work, she knew something had to change. With encouragement from her husband and support from the Start Your Private Practice Program, she took the leap. Within six months, she grew from zero to 25 clients and a full caseload.Today, Kansas serves children from infancy through young adulthood, offering both home visits and office-based therapy. She continues to specialize in AAC and feeding while building strong relationships with families, OTs, and other local providers. Her practice is rooted in collaboration, flexibility, and creative problem-solving—especially important in a rural area with limited access to care.In this episode, Kansas talked about how she built her business with her health and lifestyle in mind. She works Tuesday through Friday, with built-in time for rest, billing, and medical appointments. Her husband, who manages the local grocery store, has even become an unofficial “referral source,” spreading the word about her services throughout the community.In this episode, we discuss:What helped her make that powerful mindset shift from employee to entrepreneurHow she built a client base in a small rural communityThe ways she connected with other professionals and programs to grow her practiceHow she built her schedule and systems around her health, her values, and her lifeKansas's story is proof that you can build a thriving private practice—even in a small town—when you combine persistence, creativity, and a clear sense of purpose. What started as a move for her health turned into a business that brings life-changing services to families who truly need them.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Kansas has? The Start Your Private Practice Program gives you the tools and guidance to get started.
