In this episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with David Brem, Managing Director of the University of Michigan’s Zell Lurie Commercialization Fund. David offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a student-led endowment fund focused on early-stage, sector-agnostic investments primarily in the Michigan ecosystem. He shares insights on their unique, founder-first investment approach, how they navigate pre-seed to Series A venture opportunities, and the rigorous due diligence process involving qualitative analysis over pure numbers. David also discusses his roles with global VC networks including Electro Ventures, the London Venture Capital Network, and Level Up Ventures, illustrating how he bridges U.S., European, and Australian venture ecosystems with a special focus on mobility and transportation tech. Highlights include deep dives into emerging trends like eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), smart city infrastructure, and safety innovations in aviation technology. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how diverse expertise—from military intelligence and management consulting to academic ventures—shapes David’s investment thesis and community-building efforts. The episode also explores the importance of networking, adding value in the startup ecosystem, and practical advice for aspiring investors or entrepreneurs navigating the venture capital world. With stories of successes, challenges, and future outlooks, this episode is a must-listen for innovators, founders, and investors aiming to understand the intersection of academia, technology, and venture capital in today’s dynamic landscape.

Misunderstandings, especially with kids from challenging backgrounds, often lead to hurt feelings, guilt, and shame, necessitating proactive teaching of emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and empathy. By modeling curiosity, emotional awareness, and constructive problem-solving, parents can help children navigate conflicts effectively and build healthier relationships.
With help from the Classic TV show Threes Company we will discuss how to help families navigate times when we misunderstand one another.

Kids Who Seem Fine But Aren't: The Truth About Avoidant Attachment 28:58

1 day ago28:58

28:58

Send us a text Our ongoing exploration of attachment styles focuses on avoidant attachment, examining how it develops when caregivers consistently fail to respond to children's needs. We unpack why this attachment style, which often makes children appear self-sufficient and well-behaved, actually undermines their emotional development and capacity for meaningful relationships. • Avoidant attachment develops when caregivers are consistently unavailable or unresponsive to a child's needs • The first three years of life are critical for attachment formation, with early experiences setting patterns for future relationships • Children with avoidant attachment often appear independent and "easy" on the surface, making this attachment style easy to miss • Even though these children don't outwardly show distress, their bodies experience the same stress response as children who openly express needs • Technology may exacerbate avoidant attachment patterns by providing false substitutes for genuine connection • Healing approaches include consistent, responsive caregiving, intentional time together, and recognizing that overwhelming a child with affection may backfire • Simple strategies like scheduled meals together, protected playtime, and modeling healthy boundaries with technology can help children develop more secure attachment Contact: podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=T To Apply: https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/ For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch: https://www.calfarley.org/ Music: "Shine" -Newsboys CCS License No. 9402…

The Foundation of Trust: How Secure Attachment Shapes Child Development 28:37

9 days ago28:37

28:37

Send us a text Secure attachment forms the foundation for a child's healthy development and shapes how they view themselves, others, and the world. We explore the four key attributes caregivers need to foster secure attachment: being present, attentive, attuned, and responsive. • A secure attachment relationship is defined as one that's "free from danger or risk," creating a healthy and safe space for children • Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a child's needs, showing them they are important and valued • Children with secure attachment develop a "secure base" that allows them to explore the world confidently, knowing they have a safe place to return to • Crying at daycare drop-offs can actually indicate healthy attachment – the child wants to be with you and knows you'll return • Being physically and emotionally present is the foundation for all other aspects of secure caregiving • Attentiveness means paying close attention to what your child is doing and learning from their behaviors • Attunement is the ability to accurately read and interpret your child's signals beyond surface behaviors • Responsive caregiving teaches children that they matter and that seeking help is valuable • Play accelerates attachment building – according to Dr. Karyn Purvis, it can cut healing time in half for children from difficult backgrounds • Securely attached children develop powerful internal messages: "I am important," "Others are helpful," and "The world is safe" Join us next week as we discuss avoidant attachment and continue our exploration of attachment styles.

Attachment Foundations: How Early Bonds Shape Our Lives 22:12

16 days ago22:12

22:12

Send us a text Attachment forms the foundation of all human relationships, beginning with our earliest bonds to caregivers and shaping how we connect with others throughout our lives. The quality of care we receive in our first three years creates a template through which we view all future relationships, determining whether we see the world as safe and trustworthy or dangerous and unpredictable. • Attachment is the primary relationship we have with our caregiver and shapes all future relationships • Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a baby's needs with attunement • Quality of interactions matters—soft tones, loving eyes, and gentle rocking create a "somatosensory bath" • Modern parenting challenges include technology distractions, reduced family support, and increased caregiver-to-child ratios • Children with secure attachment typically experience 30+ positive adult interactions daily versus only 6 for insecurely attached children • How we perceive the world influences how we move through it—we elicit from others what we expect from them • Helping traumatized children heal requires respect for boundaries, appropriate proximity, and patient relationship-building • Faith formation tends to mirror attachment patterns, with securely attached children more likely to develop secure spiritual connections Join us next week as we dive deeper into secure attachment and continue our series on the science of human connection.

Redefining Discipline: How Supervision, Communication, and Self-Reflection Transform Parenting- Part 4 26:10

23 days ago26:10

26:10

Send us a text We finish our series on discipline by focusing on key elements often overlooked: supervision, meaningful conversations, apologies, and counterproductive approaches. These aspects create a comprehensive framework for effective, connection-based discipline. • Supervision connects to discipline by helping catch issues early and modeling appropriate behaviors • Effective supervision requires clear communication about expectations, consideration of developmental needs, and consistency • Self-reflection is crucial but difficult for parents to examine how they contribute to behavioral issues • Side-by-side activities like driving, walking, or cooking create better environments for meaningful conversations • Power differentials between adults and children significantly impact communication effectiveness • Forced apologies become mere checkboxes rather than opportunities for genuine learning • Help children understand others' perspectives rather than demanding immediate remorse • Avoid shame-based discipline, withdrawing affection, or removing regulatory activities • Consider whether consequences actually help maintain or improve your relationship with your child • Remember that effective discipline supports connection rather than control Contact: podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=T To Apply: https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/ For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch: https://www.calfarley.org/ Music: "Shine" -Newsboys CCS License No. 9402…

Redefining Discipline: The Brain-Based Approach to More Serrious Behavior- Part 3 22:04

30 days ago22:04

22:04

Send us a text Discipline isn't about punishment but about teaching, and when it comes to serious behaviors, individualized care becomes even more critical. Balancing increased structure with increased nurture creates the optimal environment for helping children learn from their mistakes and grow. • Each child has different needs, and fair treatment means responding to individual needs rather than identical treatment • The "piggy bank" concept shows how positive interactions deposit emotional currency while discipline makes withdrawals • Structure and nurture must increase together when dealing with serious behaviors • Grounding should focus on bringing children closer rather than isolation and typically shouldn't exceed three days • Restitution and reconciliation are both essential when trust is broken • Logical consequences should always be reasonable, related to the behavior, and respectful • Children often act worse around parents because they feel safest expressing their struggles with them • When children push boundaries, they need connection more than ever Contact: podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=T To Apply: https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/ For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch: https://www.calfarley.org/ Music: "Shine" -Newsboys CCS License No. 9402…

Redefining Discipline: The Brain-Based Approach to Everyday Parenting Challenges-Part 2 37:07

5 weeks ago37:07

37:07

Send us a text Discipline doesn't have to mean punishment; the most effective approach focuses on understanding the root causes behind less significant behaviors and addressing them with connection rather than correction. • Curiosity is essential in addressing less significant behaviors - take time to understand what's happening beneath the surface • Physical needs like sleep, nutrition, and exercise directly impact behavior - address these before implementing discipline • "Islands of competence" should be strengthened, not taken away as punishment • Explicit instruction and "redos" help teach appropriate behavior rather than just punishing mistakes • Timeouts work for some children while others need "time-ins" for co-regulation • Proximity and engaged presence allow parents to redirect behaviors before they escalate • Model self-regulation by taking breaks when you need to calm down • Grounding should be reserved for significant behaviors and include clear paths to restoration Join us next week as we discuss discipline and more serious behaviors.

Redefining Discipline: From Force to Cooperation- Part 1 19:47

19:47

Send us a text Discipline is often misunderstood as punishment, when it's actually about teaching and guiding children through boundaries and relationship. We explore how effective discipline builds cooperation rather than forcing compliance. • Discipline's true purpose is teaching, not punishment or making children feel bad • Force creates only temporary compliance, not lasting behavioral change • Children's behavior communicates needs; our job is to be curious, not judgmental • Balancing structure and nurture is key to effective discipline • Strong relationships make discipline more effective and meaningful Contact: podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=T To Apply: https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/ For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch: https://www.calfarley.org/ Music: "Shine" -Newsboys CCS License No. 9402…

Empty Nest!!! Now What? Parenting Beyond Age 25 22:10

Send us a text Parenting your adult children after 25 requires shifting from director to supporter as they become truly independent and often more receptive to your wisdom and experience. • Children over 25 are more reflective and insightful about their own experiences • Clear communication is essential when setting boundaries with adult children • Support means encouraging good choices rather than enabling dependency • When adult children become parents, offer advice only when requested • Understand when your adult child needs a "bucket" (listening ear) versus a "toolbox" (solutions) • If adult children move back home, establish clear expectations and boundaries immediately • The empty nest phase requires acknowledging grief while embracing new opportunities • Take time to rediscover yourself and your spouse when children leave home Contact: podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=T To Apply: https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/ For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch: https://www.calfarley.org/ Music: "Shine" -Newsboys CCS License No. 9402…
