The big news this week is, well, us! Mayor Mike Johnston sat down with host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi last week to talk about everything from the tipped minimum wage to his upcoming face-off with Rep. Lauren Boebert — and the interview caught fire. But lot of what the mayor actually said got lost in the noise, so Paul and Bree are clearing up the confusion. Plus, an interesting compromise in a zoning fight in City Park West, and a listener calls in with some jokes for Mr. Johnston before he goes in front of Boebert and the other Republicans on the House Oversight Committee this Wednesday. 

Paul mentioned this Denver Gazette article that left space open for people to misinterpret the mayor, along with a report from the Common Sense Institute and commentary from Heidi Ganahl and Do Better Denver. Here’s the full instagram post from Weathervane Cafe owner Lindsey Dalton and our previous episode on the zoning debate.

In this episode of The Oprah Podcast, Oprah and bestselling author Michael Pollan discuss the potential of psychedelic drugs like psilocybin (also known as magic mushrooms) and LSD as a benefit to help relieve symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety, addiction, or depression. Michael’s 2018 book, "How to Change Your Mind", was a watershed moment in the rising national conversation about the use of psychedelics in guided therapy.

Michael describes his own psychedelic experiences as well as additional guests, including GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons, who share their stories about how psychedelics helped them improve their mental well-being, cope with trauma and grief and achieve spiritual transcendence.

It’s been seven years since the e-scooter companies unceremoniously dumped fleets of Limes and Birds onto the streets of Denver, and many Denverites are still upset about it! But at the same time, many others have grown to rely on these micro-mobility machines. Councilman Chris Hinds, in particular, has been pushing for tougher regulations for years, and last week he put forth a new proposal to the rest of City Council, citing Denver Health data showing a huge increase in scooter-related accidents in 2024. So we reached out to Lime to hear their side of the story and where they see scooters fitting in Denver’s constantly evolving transportation ecosystem. 

What do you think about scooters after hearing from the Lime guys? Have you ever tossed a scooter into the creek? Or do you love using them to get around? We want to hear from you! Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418‬

We also reached out to talk to the other company licensed to operate scooters in Denver, Bird, and here’s the statement they sent us: “We at Bird are excited to work with DOTI and Denver City Council to bring the very best technology and vehicles to the Denver program. We look forward to working collaboratively with our partners to provide feedback on the draft micro-mobility ordinance to fine tune the details, but we are aligned with the vision of continuing to develop a last-mile mobility solution that focuses on safety, equity, and access.”

Follow the show: The School of Greatness

I'm going on tour! Come see The School of Greatness LIVE in person!
Get my new book Make Money Easy here!

Financial freedom begins with taking control of your money story, not your credit score. In this transformative conversation, bestselling author Anthony O'Neal shatters conventional financial wisdom by revealing how credit-obsessed thinking keeps most people trapped in debt cycles and prevents them from "taking their seat at the table." Anthony vulnerably shares his own financial mistakes—from a disastrous landscaping project that cost him thousands to the relationship opportunities lost because of society's misplaced focus on credit scores over actual wealth. His powerful framework for reclaiming ownership of your financial destiny offers a path to freedom that isn't about deprivation, but about making strategic choices that align with your authentic self and deeper purpose. Whether you're drowning in student loans or simply want to build lasting generational wealth, this episode provides the roadmap for creating a life of genuine abundance.

Anthony’s new book Take Your Seat at the Table: Live an Authentic Life of Abundance, Wellness, and Freedom

In this episode you will learn:

• Why your credit score is a terrible indicator of financial health and how focusing on it keeps most people trapped in debt
• How to implement the EARN method to systematically eliminate debt in 12-24 months without feeling deprived
• The critical importance of creating an emotional support system to prevent financial decisions driven by unchecked emotions
• Why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone and the dangerous myth of "working from the beach" that influencers sell
• How to define true abundance as creating overflow that benefits not just yourself but your family and community
• The spiritual dimension of stewardship that extends beyond money to how you manage your time, relationships, and resources

Mayor Mike Johnston returns! Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi sit down with the mayor ahead of his trip to Washington for a high-profile congressional hearing on his approach to immigration next week, during which he will likely face hard questions from the likes of Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. With federal funding at stake, the mayor discusses his approach to what will surely be a media circus, as well has his thoughts on the recent debates over the tipped minimum wage, walkable and bike-able spaces, Colfax businesses struggling with BRT construction, and the future of downtown — plus, the recent wins he’s proud of and a sneak peak at his next big projects.
