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.
