- Episode 0143: It Does Take a VillageShow Notes
- Host: Dan Hugo
- Summary: We talk a lot about the Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem, the so-called Startup Scene, and sometimes Hollywood 2.0 and Global Innovation Hub and a few other things, but it occurs to me after mentioning how little coverage any of this gets in our local press, that those who are not checking the box for Entrepreneur may have no idea what goes off the strip.

57 min - Episode 0141: Making a SceneShow Notes
- Host: Dan Hugo
- Summary: If you have heard a few episodes of this program, you know I tend not to appreciate labels like “Tech Scene” and “Startup Scene,” they are so over-used but they do have a time and a place in some contexts. Okay then, let’s make an entrepreneurial innovation scene.

39 min - Episode 0138: Cohesive Coherence or Coherent CohesionShow Notes
- Host: Dan Hugo
- Summary: If you caught our episode of this program last week (which you can do at any time), you may have noticed interchangeable use of Cohesion and Coherence in the context of a City as a System, also the title of that episode. Today, let us tease those two terms apart.

About Caffe Genius Impressarios
From the publisher's feed
Caffe Genius is all about thinking outside the box, from Experimental Meetup Colaboratories to Pitch Workout Rooms to the Genius Roundtable and more; the idea is to consider seriously the…
Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem (based in Greater Las Vegas… for now) and how we can measure and elevate it, and Impressarios can describe these and more with their stories. With deliberate spelling.
