When we first heard from Caroline in Episode 18, we learned of the origin of the Boyd Innovation Center and how Caroline has been its shepherd, captain, and cat-herder. In this episode, she shares the specifics of the programming and some of the choices she’s made to let the Center evolve into what the ecosystem needs.
