Jonathan Ballesteros — Water wizard
Jonathan Ballesteros is the founder and CEO of Geyser Technologies.
The company manufactures an innovative shower system that helps off the grid adventurers reduce their water consumption for cleaning themselves and their gear by up to 90 percent.
Ballesteros pioneered the patented design, drawing on his background in industrial engineering, particularly the years he spent managing and designing precision surgical equipment.
Perhaps what qualifies him most, however, is his own love of outdoor adventure. He has van camped for extended periods across the Australian outback and is a licensed Master Yachtsman, leading sailing trips around the world.
But, Geyser is about far more than equipping adventurers. The company has set itself the lofty goal of changing how water is consumed and conserved in some of the world’s thirstiest places.

Great interviewer with very good questions. Thank you so much.
That was awesome, thanks!
I'm so delighted the Leaphorn/Chee stories are on-going by Ms Hillerman's capable hand!
Great interview
I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. Kriste and I are definitely related. She thinks like me and she even shares my family's last name. I would love to hear more discussions like this. Thank you for sharing! Peace and blessings!
1:39 interview intro
Making sense of all disturbing natural things since 1958 thirty years at hunt camp trapping and eating catch I finally just know things about what happened in natural world and often what fish are doing and having animals recognize me and my intentions I have caught and released many many animals and birds they accept me as their neighbor on the hunt tract 🤠🤠 thank you my friend
Been there trapping thirty years and eating catch
Great interview! I really liked this book, Finding Abbey. Thank you Sean for sharing this story.
How to flute a Clovis Point without breaking it: Take two slats of oak, shaped like they are cut out of a yard stick 10 to 12cm long. Pitch glue two buttons of wood to one end of each, four buttons total. wrap the tip of your Clovis preform in a one inch strip of buckskin/leather twice around. Wrap the two boards onto the point with the tip sandwiched flat and the buttons at the base, with a piece of string or cordage. Flute with an antler billet, works every time. Good luck everyone! Try a Folsom?
I hope he still is alive, because I solved his riddle. Man populated the alamosa colorado area 62 thousand years ago. And again 12 thousand years ago. They evolved from mountain Neanderthal, and created the bow in colorado. 60 thousand years ago. that should get attention?
I own them all!
Thank you
I went to college in 1987 as a single parent. I’m a science major. I took a class to brush up on basic English to assist my writing. My professor introduced us to Mr Tony Hillerman and I was hooked. He was brilliant. His daughter Ann is also brilliant. I’ve got all her books also. I was thrilled that she continued the story line with more empowering women. Just got to the discussion with Ann’s mom loving her work. So beautiful. I keep coming back to comment. I’m so hungry for indigenous stories. I love that some of the work that made it to the screen and stayed to to the books. I like the newest series out for the indigenous factor, and was disappointed that they referenced the script as inspired by Tony Hillermans book. The script took a different turn. I hope in the future, hopefully more stories will reach the screen and respect the authentic version.
I'm a former planning commissioner, multifamily and retail construction project manager, current farmer of 45 acres and a cattle and horse herd. Our family has donated the farm and land to build a 3 year college that focuses on issues like housing from the perspective and resourcefulness of the underserved communities 18 - 25 year olds come from. We have developed the masterclass with the generous support of the architectural and engineering community. Unfortunately, we have found no takers for our project or the concept of a different resourceful approach to turning the housing problem around. We think it's because of all the noise in government. The consultants control the idea space. Like Willa said, the professionals/consultants need to keep working and thus there voices dominate instead of those with the lived experience of solving these problems at the grassroots. I'm not from your community, yet insert any community...
It's my 40th on the 15th. I'm gonna spend an 100 amazon voucher on a shelf and books from various authors. I would like one of Anderson's novels on that shelf. Big fan.
Excellent interview. I want to see their findings though!
As a landowner in the PNW and a black man, I listen to this anthropologist paint a picture of collective interest in the site and its significance to human knowledge. If that is the case, why do people of color get little credit for their contributions. I hear a black cowboy found and recognized the bison bones originally. He was professional and knowledgeable enough to realize the size was large for those kinds of bones, and brought his find to others to confirm. Why is he erased from the educational opportunity that exists here? Why is he not held up as an example of black kids having a way to see themselves in this field. The national conversation of who will care about this stuff and find it depends on if credit is shared in a way that makes it in all our interests. Too much opportunity lost to go into here, but white people will always seek credit for themselves and their legacy. As people of colon buy land in forested regions never settled and discover some of these sites, not many will be encouraged to share. The culture of antiquities does not match our lived culture.
We learn about George McJunkin in NM History! But I* did have to look up his name. There should be a movie, his life sounds amazing, and like you say without his self taught education and akamai (as they say in Hawaii) the Folsom site would have gone undiscovered. He's in the Hall of Great Westerners.
Tunnel vision and raging insecurity. The majority of people in the US are white so the majority of writing is by white people. Go to China and it will be by Chinese people. Go to Africa and it will be Africans. It’s not racism. Racism is what you’re doing here, basically complaining about too many white people writing papers about the things that interest them as if the color of their skin has anything to do with anything. Smh
Your culture is in Africa, you don't come from the Americas, you don't have the right to hide archeological artifacts.
I agree with you! I would love to see a documentary about him, and the many left out like him!
Typically eloquent and empathetic. Jay not only speaks the words but actively works to bring about the change he advocates.
He is not a Marxist he is telling the truth…I was there
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for Bernie Manuelito, in her full development as a police officer, wife and woman. Huzzah!
I agree with rereading. For myself, I like to read a book three times before I can see the underlying structure clearly, and take from it what lessons it has to offer, but at least two readings with two different targets of focus.
As an old newspaper editor I am very familiar with the "every word a gem" syndrome, but fortunately in newspapers, as both a reporter and later, as an editor who wrote editorials, which were edited by my boss, I welcomed skillful, insightful editing of my writing that made it better. To be a writer you need some ego, but not too much, or you can't learn and grow.
I miss tracker school
Attended on eighties moved to woods in nineties still learning the interest and questions you ask yourself makes you the teacher of yourself trapping animals for food and fur forty years helps me know things I don't even see in the. Landscape. Colbert. Live free 🤔

Hi. Came across this interview when looking through materials that will be included in an upcoming series via University of MN, Learning Communities: Transdisciplinary engagement with Indigenous thinkers. I applied for Melissa Nelson's series that includes the book ''What Kind of Ancestor do You Want to Be?'' Nice interview and timely too as similar situations echo from around the world in indigenous communities. Environmental Ethics is still a serious concern, often leaving those with the land and the extractions wanted by big business on the short end. I would like to see equity for those with intimate knowledge of and are stewards of the land. I hope that I'm accepted into the study group. If not, I will have the book!
I picked it up, looked at it, rubbed it with my fingers, let my mind run wild wondering the origin of the crafty stone point. Archeology, the untold story that never ends. Great interview, thanks for doing it.
Thanks for sharing Craig! Glad you are part of my life and I look forward to our paths crossing again.
Thank you
How wonderful to see my wonderful, dear friend from college days! Seeing you, Suzanne, cheered me up. Your friend , Mike B.
An excellent interview. Thank you for sharing this!
I believe Paul has the facts well at hand and has made the correct conclusions. We have to dig ourselves out of some very poor management decisions, and it took 100 years and more to get us in this deep. Won't be a quick solution.
where can these projectile points be seen....?
What a great interview. The interviewer engaged the anthropologist on such a personal yet professional level that what transpired was far from the usual superficial, drama loaded interviews seen today. The interview was so full of fact and details about the site and the dig that are never spoken about publicaly. Thank you for such a great video.
Overwhelming interview! This is what scientific exploration is all about.
Thank You! Posting on Facebook...
Wow, amazing story! Craig's been going through what's called, "the dark night of the soul his whole life!" I feel the desperation in him and can totally relate. Glad he pulled through to tell his story to the world. <3

Wow! Great interview. Stiger is a great guy (a little camera shy). The question What's the xfactor mysticism in listening to the archealogy !! Good stuff Thanks E.
I am really enjoying The Saga of the Seven Suns series. Just treated myself to the whole series as a birthday present. Many readers complain about too many point of view characters, but not me, it keeps my mind well stimulated. That’s probably the main reason I just bought the whole series after reading the prequel, as well as the colourful scenery. Such a treat for the mind, heart, and soul.
Where does "SOY BEAN", come from? 😂
Hello from Idaho, Please forward to Anne how much I too have read, I do believe, all of Tony's books and have pickedup
Another interviewer who wants to speak more than listen. Otherwise good interview.
