Robert Wagner and Jill St. John are probably Colorado’s most celebrated couple — and hands down the most cordial. His life has included films (good and bad), a lot of TV (most recently “Two and a Half Men”) and a parade of women, including Barbara Stanwick (he was 22, she was 45), and Liz Taylor (“She’s so beautiful, so sweet, just a wonderful person, It just scrambles your brains up — in a good way.”) He married Natalie Wood twice, and hooked up with St. John after Wood’s death. Since then, Aspen and Colorado have been focal points in his life. It’s where he finally found his peace. Wagner and St. John live on 7 1/2 acres - in a house they built, with view of mountains and trees, but not other houses. He writes that it is here that he is at home - forever. “When my time comes, I will be buried in Aspen, in an old cemetery that was originally laid out in the nineteenth century,” he writes at the end of his book. “A lot of children are buried there, and it’s in the middle of a glade of aspen and birch trees - very wild and overgrown. As soon as someone is laid to rest, the land is allowed to return to its natural state … It’s absolutely pure and totally peaceful.” Know Aspen. Watch GrassRoots.

What if emotions aren’t hard-wired—but built by your brain on the fly? In this fast, eye-opening conversation, host Steven Nemerovski talks with neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett (author of Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain and How Emotions Are Made). They debunk “lizard brain” myths and emotion “fingerprints,” explain the predictive brain and your body budget (why mood = metabolism), and explore why facial expressions aren’t universal. You’ll hear how these insights reshape mental health (beyond simple CBT), education and literacy, AI emotion-reading, and everyday self-regulation—plus what words do to literally grow a more flexible mind. Expect clear takeaways you can use today: how emotions are constructed, why context matters across cultures, and practical ways to feel and function better. Watch to rethink what a brain is for—and how to work with yours. Keywords: Lisa Feldman Barrett interview, theory of constructed emotion, predictive processing, neuroscience of emotion, psychology, mental health, education, interoception, body budget, facial expressions myth. #Neuroscience #Psychology #LisaFeldmanBarrett #HowEmotionsAreMade #SevenAndAHalfLessons #BrainScience #Emotions #MentalHealth Hour Mind.

In "American Squatter", Aspen A/V tech Barry Smith uses his natural knack for performance art and multi-media presentation to bring us along, laughing and grimacing all the way, on his pointless, wandering trip through adolescence during the Reagan 80's. After Smith's constantly cleaning father moved with his two small sons from rural Mississippi to suburban Southern California, young Barry struggles to find himself in an obsessively neat household and cliquey public schools. Throw in some Punk Rock, a backyard skateboard ramp and a sheet of acid, what could go right? Change Your Mind. Watch GrassRoots.
