Summary: The Nevada SBDC Annual Impact Report is out for 2024, and there are some changes to the plans for media studio production facilities, not to mention an expansion of education plans that are attached to the studio plans; all of which point toward what our Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem looks like, and might look like in the near term.

April 04, 2025Episode 0110: Disrupting Vegas
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Perhaps City as a Startup from the Downtown Project days was in this general area of thinking, but it is time to ask whether the people who consider themselves to be a part of the Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem, the Startup Scene if you like, are pointing any of their attention toward making a Better Greater Vegas, or at least pondering what that might mean. Let´s do some of that here.

March 28, 2025Episode 0109: Cross-Pollination
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: We can talk about flowers, but really we are talking about groups of people within an ecosystem engaging with each other, learning from each other, and probably benefiting each other through these interactions. It is something that probably happens a lot, and could always happen more, and our Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem should make this an actual objective to enable and encourage…

March 21, 2025Episode 0108: Startup Weekend and Ignite and Whatnot
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The so-called Startup Scene in the Greater Vegas Area is strange. A lot of the scene, a term I do not care for, is centered on gatherings of aspirational entrepreneurs and innovators, and while there is nothing wrong with that, we should be wondering when the aspiration turns to action. In the mean time, about those gatherings…

March 07, 2025Episode 0106: City as a Showcase
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Being a Better Vegas is going to take a while, there are a lot of possibilities that will take time and some evolution, not to mention something of a culture shift. One thing the Greater Vegas region does have today is a lot of visitors and a lot of opportunity to connect them with innovation, why are we not doing that?

February 23, 2025Episode 0104: Fermi Paradox LV
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The Fermi Paradox suggests that while there would seem to be a high likelihood of extraterrestrial life existing somewhere else in the universe, there is remarkably little evidence of it. Suppose we apply this thinking to our Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem, we experience a lot of hype around this being a great innovation hub and whatnot, but where is everybody?

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: We gave covered the Culture of Innovation that developed in the Real Silicon Valley over the course of decades, starting in the mid-to-late 1800s and continuing to today, and how that compares to the Greater Vegas area. Now we can touch on the Communication Culture, which need not look to other places for comparison, it is human nature, or should be.
