Join your hosts Josh Hugo and Jamelle Austin and our producer, Jaime Schall and their friends around the campfire (or fireplace) as we discuss life as dads, Coloradans, whiskey drinkers, educators, and amateur philosophizers.
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!
In what is now an annual holiday tradition, Mike joins Jamelle, Jaime and Josh as we dig in to what type of wisdom is driving us these days. Join us for a thoughtful conversation around concepts such as mindfulness, gratitude, presence, and going slow - plus plenty of laughs as we discuss what helps us make sense of life as we are moving into the second half of life.
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. Find us at https://www.instagram.com/the_campfire_conversation_pod/ and drop us a DM or comment! And Go Vote!
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!
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 :-).
