When the chips are down, Michael Bristow says,
" Keep at it, eventually there will be a turn around."

ARCA Biopharma, Inc. is a Colorado-based biopharmaceutical company developing genetically-targeted therapies for heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. Larry interviewed Michael R. Bristow, MD, Ph.D. CEO & Chief Science and Medical Officer of ARCA, at the CU Technology Transfer Office Awards banquet. For years, Dr. Bristow has been a favorite interview for w3w3®. Larry asked, "Michael what are the biggest changes you've seen in this last year in your industry?" He replied, "It's been a couple of tough years, but I think things are starting to turn around and basically the atmospherics have gotten a lot better. Just coming off a JP Morgan meeting, it was, I thought, a completely different tone this year." Dr. Bristow had some interesting insights about funding. "Well, it's sort of like financing of real estate was back in the early 80s when interest rates were 20% - you've got to do creative financing. So, all kinds of vehicles have been used through this period. ARCA biopharma, for instance did a reverse merger, bought a company that was NASDAQ listed, that had a bunch of cash - that proved to be a good move. So people have gotten through this one way or another. But we need to get back to traditional sources of funding." Larry asked, "Is there any particular advice to people in your arena?" Spoken like a true leader he replied, "Yes, don't give up. I mean, tenacity! Keep at it, eventually there will be a turn around. Now, when things aren't going too well, may be the best opportunity there is in terms of acquiring assets. Think ahead. Think positive." Dr. Bristow joined ARCA as one of ARCA’s founders in September 2004, and has served as Chairman and Chief Science and Medical Officer of ARCA until he was appointed to his current position of Chief Executive Officer in July 2009. Dr. Bristow is a Professor of Medicine and the former Head of Cardiology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, where he has been since October 1991. Dr. Bristow was one of the founders of Myogen, Inc.

Guy Kawasaki: The art of changing hearts, minds and actions
1601_ [archives 2011-09-12] - Three years ago when I last interviewed our guest, Guy Kawasaki, managing partner of Garage Technology Ventures and founder of Alltop.com, we were going through some tougher times, I asked Guy, how do you think this will play out? Guy replied, "I'm not a visionary or an oracle, but I'll tell you what I'd tell an entrepreneur, which is... "Plug your ears and keep going!" Guy's latest and tenth book is, 'ENCHANTMENT, The art of changing hearts, minds and actions.' Guy's unique style, he replied, "The word is purely a marketing thing. You know, I wanted to own a word, like Tom Peters owns excellence... and I wanted my word to be enchantment. And I wanted the image [from the book cover], the butterfly to be recognizable as enchantment. So that's why the particular word, in a marketing sense. In a philosophical sense, I think people can aspire to a higher relationship than simply closing sales. So this would be enchanting people, getting people to believe in your dream as much as you do." Larry asked what motivated Guy to get on this topic. Well, he's been enchanting and evangelizing people for the about two-and-a-half decades now. It was time to collect all his lessons and put it out there so people could achieve more success with their new products, new services, new companies, new ideas. "I think if you enchant your customers you'll have a much better relationship with them, you'll have a longer relationship with them, probably a more profitable relationship and they too will be happier. I think it will help people have better relationships with their customers, and their prospective customers, which will in turn, lead to success. It's very difficult to foster this kind of relationship, particularly in a time when people are so skeptical about others and pessimistic. If you wait for the turnaround to occur and everybody is all happy and things are going honky-dory again, it may be too late." ...listen for much more...

Colorado Technology Association to host 10th Annual Wine Tasting
1594_ 8/4/14 - The Colorado Technology Association (CTA) will host its 10th Annual Wine Tasting event on Thursday, August 7th from 5:30-8:30pm in the gardens of the Governor’s Residence. The 400+ soiree attendees will enjoy wine varietals and small bites from local Colorado wineries and standout restaurants, all while mingling with some of the best technology industry leaders in Colorado during the sold-out event.
      New this year, CTA has matched wineries and eateries with event sponsors to collaborate and create the “ultimate pairing.” Guests will judge and vote on their top-three favorite pairings, and a winner will be announced at the end of the evening. The Wine Tasting event is an excellent opportunity for professionals in the technology sector to network. "CTA's Wine Tasting offers a platform for the broad technology community to congregate, share ideas and gain new insights. Networking is a catalyst for success," said CTA CEO Erik Mitisek. "The Wine Tasting is a key event within our programming to cultivate emerging relationships and leverage your network."
      In addition to the tasting, CTA will be collecting school supplies to benefit OpenWorld Learning (OWL). OWL teaches computer programming, LEGO Robotics and leadership skills to low-income 3rd-8th grade students. OWL trains students to become leaders in the classroom and provides technological training that most of these students would not receive otherwise. OWL appreciates donations of general school supplies (pencils, glue, wide-ruled paper, etc.), backpacks, used laptops and tablets, flash drives and Target gift cards. 10th Annual Wine Tasting, Wine Tasting Website

Dir., Silicon Flatirons Center, Former Chief Engineer, Federal Communications Commission ("So I get a little suspicious of re centralization and I get suspicious of cloud computing if it infringes on my freedom in terms of this is what I need to do to turn a job around."); Larissa Herda, Chairman, President and CEO, tw telecom, inc.

A Time for Reconciliation –
Project C.U.R.E. - Republic of Rwanda
1596_ 8/4/14 - Twenty years ago the world saw the most gruesome civilian uprising known in our time: the Rwandan genocide—a period the international community laments as one of the largest preventable losses in recent history. By early 1994, ethnic tensions between the majority Hutu and marginal Tutsi populations in Rwanda had reached a peak. And before the world knew what was happening, nearly 1 million Rwandans had been slaughtered in one of the swiftest and most grisly massacres of our day. In April 2004, the University of Denver hosted with Project C.U.R.E. an event featuring H.E. President Paul Kagame, of the Republic of Rwanda. The Arena at the Ritchie Center was packed with 1000s in the audience. During an earlier break, Larry interviewed - Eugene Nyagahene, founder and CEO of Radio 10, Rwanda’s first private radio station since the genocide. In 1994 the radio in Rwanda had been used as a tool to help in the genocide broadcasting false stories of safe passage and misleading people to come out of hiding and ultimately face their deaths. Rawandan's lost trust, feared and rejected radio. For Nyagahene, his long efforts and hard work to broadcast again, represents a new beginning for Rwandan radio, which had been controlled by the government for a decade.
