Denver, real talk, if you run a business here right now it can feel like the whole game just flipped.

Today I brought in two guys who actually live in the numbers and the neighborhoods. Michael and Jason from TelescopeMapping.com.

Welcome to Real Good Denver, I'm Ryan Estes. Denver, we have a problem. We love the mountains, the desert, the river, the hunt, the ride, and then we come back to camp covered in dust, sweat, and regret with half a Nalgene and a pack of baby wipes that lie. Today’s guest fixes that. Jonathan from Geyser Systems built what he calls an astronaut shower that can clean two people with 0.8 gallons. His team has already showered more than 35,000 people at festivals and events while saving at least 250,000 gallons of water. We are talking real Colorado innovation from Montrose. Or Montrose.

info_outlineDenver, real talk, if you run a business here right now it can feel like the whole game just flipped. Google keeps changing, AI is suddenly your customers’ new best friend, and half the agencies in your inbox are promising the moon while quietly handing your account to a junior who barely knows Colfax from Colorado Boulevard.
Today I brought in two guys who actually live in the numbers and the neighborhoods. Michael and Jason from TelescopeMapping.com. They are a full funnel growth team that outranks NASA for the phrase “telescope mapping” and they act like a fractional marketing and sales department for Denver businesses.
In this episode we get super practical. We are talking how to fill the top of your funnel, how to actually turn that attention into revenue, how to show up in local search, AI search, and those Google Business reviews that decide where people spend their money. If you are a Denver founder, brick and mortar owner, marketer, or just a DIY operator trying to grow without getting burned again, this one is for you.
You will learn which channels actually matter for Denver locals right now, what “AI search” really means for small businesses, how to use events, email, and local SEO together, and how Michael and Jason think about being true partners in your growth story, not just another vendor.
Before we dive in, if you love this kind of very Denver, very useful conversation, make sure you are on the list at realgooddenver.com. That is where we send the weird events, the secret spots, and the tactical playbooks from conversations like this.
Think of it as your weekly cheat sheet for making Denver smaller, more interesting, and more profitable, all in one email, at realgooddenver.com.
And if this episode helps you, go tap those stars and leave a review like you are leaving a love letter to your favorite local business, it helps more Denver folks find the show.
