About Bay Area Ventures

Bay Area Ventures is a weekly show about the Bay Area way of doing business. As a co-host from 2014-2017, I covered all aspects of what makes working and living in the Bay Area unique and special. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, from politics to public policy, from venture financing to M&A I try to cover it all in order to help you apply the great practices of the Bay Area to your ventures.
Each week I featured two guests or companies for one hour each. Replays of my shows can be streamed below, on iTunes or from my show page on Spreaker.com.
The show continues to air live from the SiriusXM studio at the campus of Wharton San Francisco, on the Embarcadero in downtown San Francisco on Mondays from 4-6pm PT/7-9pm ET. The show replays on Monday 9pm PT, Wednesday 1am PT, Thursday 11am PT and Saturday 9am PT. It can also be downloaded or streamed via the SiriusXM mobile app.
