Show Notes
Colorado’s once booming job market has been lagging the nation for a while now, and last year it may have hit an unpleasant milestone.

And the state is preparing to celebrate its 150th birthday in all sorts of ways, including one that involves an acronym you possibly haven’t thought of in years: NFT.
