Nicole Glaros, Managing Director, TechStars - Boulder, gives Larry an overview of the company, which is a seed accelerator. What that means is we take a little bit of capital and we fund early stage companies - and we put them through a 13 week intensive boot camp. In that boot camp, we surround them with mentors, and at the end of that boot camp we hope that the companies are much more successful. Turns out that the formula works, we're running about a 90% success rate since 2007. That means either they've been acquired or still in business, only 10% of them have shut down.

He is co-author of Prosperity in the Age of Decline, a powerful look at how to make the most of the US and global trends over the next 20 years. Larry interviewed Alan , President, ITR Economics at the ACG Denver 2015 kick-off luncheon. Alan said, "It's kind of a mixed bag right now with oil prices falling.

But obviously the stock market is nervous . Europe is nervous about Greece, there's a mad man in Russia - there's all kinds of strange things going on in the world. But the bottom line is the U.S. is a strong economy in good shape"...Listen for much more and photos too...

David talks about ethics, for him, a personal and a professional passion... "We talk about the Internet of Things where everything from your baby carriage to your car will be connected and data will be gathered. But what about the ethical use of the data? It comes down to 'they'. People say 'they' made a decision to do this or that. But in all my years calling on the biggest companies, there is no secret illuminati in some room that makes these big decisions. It's every individual in our data stations - software developers, business managers... somehow all of us are in some way involved in making these decisions, making ethical choices.
