Dan Caruso — three-time decacorn entrepreneur, venture investor, and author of Bandwidth, and co-founder of the Boulder Roots Music Fest — sits down with the founders, scientists, artists, and operators building Colorado’s future and beyond. From quantum breakthroughs and supersonic flight to the stories behind Boulder’s best restaurants, the podcast lives at the intersection of innovation and community. Every episode celebrates builders, inspires listeners, and lights up the conversations that matter.
