EPISODE 37: It's the Great Pumpkin Beer Episode!

In this installment of Creative Distillation, Brad and Jeff conduct their field research closer to home: the conference room at the Deming Center. It’s Halloween, Jeff’s favorite time of year, and today he’s walking us through a tasting of assorted pumpkin beers. Spoiler alert: Brad detests pumpkin beer and brought a “taster” with him, and our guest, Desiree Pacheco from IESE in Barcelona, is gluten free and doesn’t drink beer. Mild chaos ensues. It’s another classic Creative Distillation holiday episode!

EPISODE 30:

For the Season 4 premiere of Creative Distillation, we travel from our Boulder base all the way to the North Pole for this live-on-location recording at the spectacular Camp Christmas. (It's actually in Lakewood, Colorado, but the lights and revery of this six-acre Yuletide experience are positively transporting.)

Your hosts, Jeff and Brad, conduct some field research at the spectacular Camp Christmas, speaking with Creator and Producer Lonnie Hanzon about the spirit of Camp Christmas -- while enjoying some of the spirits on offer there.

After that, Brad and Jeff preview what's upcoming in our thrilling Season 4, including visits to several Front Range breweries, a Halloween pumpkin beerfest, and a road trip to the Social Entrepreneurship conference in Los Angeles.

Our new format boasts shorter(ish) episodes featuring interviews with our craft beverage-making hosts, alternating with discussions of the most current (and fascinating) entrepreneurship research with leading researchers from across the globe.

We've got a new theme song performed by none other than your humble hosts, Jeff and Brad.

And did we mention we're dropping episodes weekly? Because we are, every Thursday.

It's a brand new season of Creative Distillation and we couldn't be more excited.

Camp Christmas in Lakewood, Colorado, is open through Christmas Eve. Tickets are available at https://camp-christmas.com.

EPISODE 29:

In this episode, hosts Jeff York and Brad Werner are joined by Andy Wu, Assistant Professor of Business Administration in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School, where he teaches in the MBA and Executive Education programs.

This discussion was recorded on a Friday evening at Jeff's kitchen table, and features a "Boulder vs Boston Beer Off", in which Brad, Jeff and Andy sample several years from Colorado, and one from Boston. Then the trio explore the disconnect between topics covered in academic papers and real-world questions business owners need addressed.

Wu acknowledges that a significant portion of academic research doesn’t serve entrepreneurs or managers. York discusses how he intends for his own research, which examines how entrepreneurship can address climate change, to be translated into something useful for people, whether it’s students, activists or policy makers. Werner posits thinking around entrepreneurship is limited by its close association with business schools, when it could be a powerful tool to bring people together and generate new ideas.

All in all, it's another rousing, rollicking, real conversation on Creative Distillation.
