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!

70: Bryn Rees (Colorado) at Pits and Stems: Halloween Craft Cocktails and CU's Venture Partners
Today, we pause our coverage of the Reversing the Arrow conference to bring you a Creative Distillation treat: our annual Halloween episode! This time it comes with a twist. Instead of Jeff putting Brad through another ritual pumpkin beer tasting, we return to one of our favorite locations, Pits & Stems, to sample some handcrafted fall-flavored cocktails, created by our favorite bartender, Ethan Decker.
Joining Brad and Jeff is Bryn Rees, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation and Managing Director of Venture Partners at CU-Boulder. In short, Bryn and his group are at the center of tech transfer and new technological developments coming out of CU. As you’ll hear, there’s a lot to be excited about with regards to innovation here. Tune in to learn more about this, as well as Jeff’s horror film recommendations and other thoughts on this spooky season.
Enjoy and cheers - and Happy Halloween!
