- Description
- Hunter Murphy grew up obsessed with hockey and the Colorado Avalanche. Then a fall on a family trip led to a diagnosis: osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, growing in his tibia. Dr. Daniel Lerman, an orthopedic oncologist at HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke's, performed limb-sparing surgery to remove the tumor while trying to save Hunter's leg and his ability to walk.
Doctors told Hunter that contact hockey likely wasn't in his future. But a text from an old high school friend, now VP of Colorado Youth Sled Hockey, introduced him to a different version of the game he loved. Hunter and his mom, Heather Torbit, share how sled hockey gave him back the sport that had always been part of his identity.

- Cynthia Coulbourne, founder of Gray Horse Group, spent her career in machine learning, demand forecasting, and IBM's Watson team before working with the OpenAI scientific team on GPT model development. Now she helps organizations figure out where automation belongs and where it shouldn't.
In this Business of Colorado conversation with Frannie Matthews, Coulbourne breaks down her three-test framework for deciding when to let a tool assist versus when a human needs to stay in the driver's seat: an authenticity test, an accuracy test, and a brand/signature-value test. She also discusses "shadow AI," why organizations need to define the human role before adopting new technology, and her work co-founding Women in AI through Colorado's Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG).

- Description
- Everyone knows the advice: less screen time, more time outside. But what does that actually mean for kids' development? This Studio Twelve segment looks at why unstructured outdoor time matters beyond just fresh air and exercise.
Climbing a tree, balancing on a log, crossing a creek: these small, kid-led risks build resilience, independence, and decision-making skills in ways screen time can't replicate. Experts explain how outdoor free play helps kids test boundaries safely, make their own choices, and develop confidence, even in everyday spaces like a local park.
For parents wondering how to balance screen time limits with real developmental benefits, this segment breaks down the research and the reasoning behind why outdoor risk-taking, even something as small as climbing one more branch, plays a bigger role in child development than many people realize.
