    The Most Interesting Man in Denver + The Art of Flamenco

    This week on Real Good Denver, we meet some Denver people who have more hours in the day than the rest of us. First up is Dr. Joseph Ramos. He's a doctor. A lawyer. A helicopter pilot. A black belt in Taekwondo. A competitive trap shooter who tried out for the Olympic team. An entrepreneur. And he's considering getting his real estate license because his résumé was a little too thin. Ryan talks with Dr. Ramos about growing up in a tiny Nevada town, leaving the Air Force Academy when his dream of flying fighter jets changed, and how that early experience with failure shaped the way he approaches everything else. They get into discipline versus motivation, why Ramos writes down his goals and says them out loud, the idea of the "Man in the Glass," and how pursuing mastery in one area can make it easier to pursue it somewhere else. Then we get into the future. As both a practicing physician and attorney, Ramos has an unusual perspective on AI coming for two professions that historically required an enormous amount of specialized knowledge. He talks about how quickly AI has improved, what it could mean for doctors and patients, and why better-informed patients could ultimately force healthcare providers to become better communicators. The conversation also gets into wellness, HRT, peptides, GLP-1s and Ramos' belief that medicine should spend more time treating wellness instead of waiting for illness. Naturally, we finish with a game called Doctor or Lawyer? Who do you call if you eat a mushroom from a farmers market and temporarily understand Sanskrit?   THEN: FLAMENCO DENVER Maria and Eva from Flamenco Denver join us ahead of their annual performance at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts. Ryan went last year knowing almost nothing about flamenco and walked away calling it one of his favorite events of the entire year. This year the production gets even bigger. The Flamenco Denver Dance Company has expanded, internationally acclaimed dancers are coming in from out of town, and four musicians will join the company for a night of live guitar, vocals, percussion and dance. Maria and Eva explain what makes flamenco different, the Spanish and cultural influences behind the art form, and how complete beginners can start learning it right here in Denver. We also discover that the dancers' feet are literally part of the orchestra. Flamenco Denver built a special floating floor specifically for the production. It gets transported to the Newman Center in pieces, assembled onstage and individually miked so the dancers' footwork becomes part of the percussion. Which sounds like an enormous pain to set up. It also sounds incredible. The Flamenco Denver performance is October 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver.
