Show Notes

  • - Host: Dan Hugo
  • - Summary: A follow-up to The Axis of Innovation, should we be building an Innovation Hub, or an Innovation Destination in Southern Nevada? Can we Conjure Innovation?

      • - Bridge small business (especially Downtown Project) to emerging student talent pool

      • - Enable local and remote talent of any kind to converge on the Vegas area for innovation sprints.


        • Modernity
