Inspired by our partnership with KNUS for Leadercast 2015, the Colorado Business Roundtable is proud to identify brave Colorado leaders by launching our own Brave Leaders series. Each week, we will talk with one of our nominated #BraveLeadersCO about their perception of bravery, and who exemplifies those qualities to them. Listen for the Brave Leaders series every Saturday on 710KNUS in the final half hour of Connect & Collaborate.

Our Brave Leader this week is former Governor Bill Ritter, now director of the Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE) at Colorado State University. Governor Ritter will share his thoughts on leadership and risk, and tell us about the man who inspires him. Ritter found inspiration in his years as Denver District Attorney, from fellow D.A., Philip Van Cise who fought corruption among the corrupt, in Denver at the start of the roaring 20s.

We also have guests; Steve House, Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party and Bill Schilling, president of the Wyoming Business Alliance.

Steve House tells us about his journey from business and healthcare, to a gubernatorial campaign, and ultimately, his current position with the Colorado Republican Party.

Bill Schilling shares the Wyoming Business Alliance‘s efforts to bring about real conversation about business and economic development to business leaders in each county in Wyoming as a part of Tour 23; a series of four hour meetings throughout the state.

Listen Saturday at 1:00 PM on 710 KNUS – Please let us know what you think of our program, either by commenting here or on Facebook at Connect & Collaborate with ICOSA or join the discussion on Twitter @ICOSAMagazine.
