This episode finds us once again talking to LSU Professor of Entrepreneurship and Information Sciences, Ted Waldron, over tiki drinks at the magnificent Lotus Lounge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jeff visited the site to conduct further field research for Creative Distillation’s recurring Season 7 podcast-within-a-podcast, Tiki Time With Jeff.
While talk of tiki is never far away, the bulk of this conversation relates to one of Ted’s most recent published papers: More than money: The complex dynamics of capital and power in entrepreneur–investor relationships. Though Brad’s not with us for this episode, we’re quite sure he’d strongly approve of that title, as it actually clearly describes what the paper is about — a rare occurrence in academic publishing.
Ted and his co-authors aim to illustrate through their research that financial capital is not the only source of power in the entrepreneur-investor dynamic. They investigate and identify seven different types of capital that can provide the bearer as much say-so and influence as money. Knowledge and reputation are two examples.
It’s a fun episode, and how could it not be with the engaging rapport between Jeff and “Tiki Ted”, the additional voice of LSU PhD student Sonya Strano — who valiantly fills in for Brad — and another round of tiki drinks for all.
Enjoy and cheers!

69: Jennifer & Dev Jennings (Alberta): Prosecco and The Gender Gap in Entrepreneurial Confidence
Here’s another episode from the Reversing the Arrow Conference, held at Boulder’s beautiful Chautauqua Park in June 2024. This time, Brad and Jeff speak with Jennifer and Dev Jennings. Both are professors in the Department of Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Management at the University of Alberta’s School of Business. They also happen to be the first married couple to appear on Creative Distillation.
While enjoying a crisp Prosecco on the porch of the Chautauqua Mission House, Jen and Dev talk about a paper they’ve co-written which looks at how starting a business with one’s romantic partner tends to lead to stereotypical gender roles translating from the marriage into the business, requiring a special kind of work life balancing to truly succeed.
Then Jen tells us about her recent paper examining the gender gap in entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and how that plays out in terms of investor confidence, the ability to learn and adapt, and, ultimately, a venture’s success. The results may surprise you.
All of that and more, in this episode of Creative Distillation.
Enjoy and cheers!
