BOULDER – The most difficult conversations to have in 2025 are those that actually aspire to be respectful, even-handed and have no preconceived point of view.

COLORADO SPRINGS – Michelle Ruehl grew up in Detroit wanting to be a pilot, not a Delta Nu. More Maverick than pretty in pink. You say it was hard for Elle Woods to get into Harvard Law?

Ruehl is a retired Air Force Colonel who flew more than 800 combat hours in Afghanistan and has more medals than Michael Phelps to show for it.
