He@rd Podcast
A reminder that you can make a difference.
At He@rd, we believe every voice matters and every community has a story worth sharing. Born in Southwest Colorado, our show amplifies the people, ideas, and projects that shape small towns - and ripple outward to inspire change everywhere.
We talk with public servants, business owners, artists, educators, and everyday residents who lead with creativity, compassion, and courage - proving that local action can have global impact.
Each episode dives into real conversations about growth, connection, and what it means to take part in the places we call home.
Whether you live in a mountain town, a big city, or somewhere in between, He@rd is your reminder that community starts with listening - and that when people are truly heard, anything is possible.
🎧 He@rd: Local voices. Global impact.
Norwood has been awarded a $52 million BEST Grant — but the money only comes if voters approve an $8 million bond this November. In this episode of He@rd, Amanda Pierce joins us to explain what the bond means for taxpayers, why the grant is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and what happens if the vote fails.
We cover the real costs, the risks of losing local control, and how a new PK–12 school could serve as the heart of Norwood for decades to come.

🎙 He@rd: The Art of Serendipity 🎙
🎙 He@rd: The Art of Serendipity 🎙
(Full Video Available on YouTube! @HeardFromPodcast)
🌿✨ Ice cream trucks, AI vs. human-made art, and a magical retreat that might just be the creative world's best-kept secret? Yep, we’re covering it all in this special on-the-road edition of He@rd!
This week, we crash the serene world of Willowtail Springs to chat with Sarah, an ice cream mogul-turned-artist, and Dan, a passionate advocate for keeping this artistic haven alive.
🎨 Sarah’s Journey: From slinging ice cream to painting for 10 hours a day, she’s manifesting an art residency like a boss. Oh, and her dad is rocking a jean jacket with her worst high school painting on it. Classic dad move.
🏡 Willowtail’s Legacy: Dan gives us the inside scoop (no, not ice cream this time) on why this place must be protected. Spoiler alert: It involves decades of love, creativity, and maybe a few unexpected plot twists.
🤖💀 AI vs. Humans: With AI-generated art flooding the scene, Sarah breaks down why human-made creativity is about to become the next big flex.
💡 Why You Should Listen: If you love art, believe in the magic of serendipity, or just enjoy good stories (and possibly need a new retreat to escape to), this one’s for you.
🔗 Get Involved: Wanna help keep Willowtail Springs thriving? Reach out to Dan or support Sarah’s journey via Steeling Life Artistry on Patreon!
🎧 Tune in, laugh, and maybe get inspired to go paint something (or at least eat some ice cream).
