    The Final Episode (For Now)...What Do You Like About Getting Older

    As we gently land the Campfire Conversation Podcast plane that's been flying for the past two years, we visit the question: "What Do You Like About Getting Older." And, we perhaps convince ourselves that this is not the last episode for good...but for a bit of time. Thank you to all who have joined us on this journey and we hope you enjoy.

    Join us for a long-awaited episode 8 from our second season where Mike, Jaime and Josh dive into a contemporary - yet durable - conversation around trust. Why is it lacking in many space? Why has this happened? What is our role in this reality - both past, present and future. And - learn which government entity we think could go on the DOGE chopping block!

    An Election Must Be Near - A Lil' Bit of Politics

    The trio meets again - this time at Jamelle's incredible Sports Bar basement. With the upcoming election, we discuss some recent happenings in the political world. Bringing some similar, but different views into the fold, we share our opinions and observations about all that is happening. It's often said that it's best to leave politics and religion out of the Thanksgiving family dinner, but that's not said about podcasts. As part of our goal of our podcast - healthy dialogue and authentic commentary- we also welcome feedback, fact-checks and new ideas to help further expand the lofty but critical goal of healthy debate and disagreement in a democracy.

    The OG Trio 2.0

    The Trio is back at it, but this time in a new place with some new effects! We get deep fast after some moonshine banter with discussions about why we're here, whether things actually "happen for a reason," karma, and whether there is life beyond what we know of here and what that might mean. Jaime adds his musical talents to this episode. Check it out and let us know what you think!

    A Refugee Story: Keep Pushing

    Join us for a powerful account of our friend Vesna's incredible true story of survival, family and perseverance as she recounts her early life as a refugee escaping from the war-torn lands of Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the former Yugoslavia. As Vesna shares her story, we focus on the ways humans overcome challenges and "keep pushing." Also - if anyone knows where Vesna can find any Serbian military cookies from the early 1990s, please leave a comment on our Instagram Page - Vesna would be ever so thankful :-).

    DEI, EDI, JEDI - Going Way Deeper Than Acronyms with Dr. Ben Sanders

    Join us for this highly engaging episode in which Dr. Ben Sanders, Chief Equity Officer for the City and County of Denver, joins Josh, Jamelle and Jaime to discuss all things DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). As America faces yet another inflection point and potential pendulum swing in the ongoing work of racial, social, gender, economic, and religious equity (and many others), we dive into important reflections about suffering, managing polarities, the importance of depth over performative superficiality, God, and even throw in some whiskey talk with one of our favorite local distilleries - Laws! Somehow, we seem to do it all and hope you join us for this podcast.
