39:30

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.

After years of living near the poverty line with 5 kids, Brittany figured out how to budget and win with money. With an average income of $37k/year her net worth is now over $800k. She enjoyed sharing what she learned so much that she became a certified financial coach. She now helps clients start their budgeting journey and stick with it.

Are you ashamed of the constant mess that surrounds you in your home? Do phrases like “cleanliness is next to godliness” and the story of the Proverbs 31 woman make you feel like you’ll never measure up? Do you feel like your brain is broken because you just can’t get your act together and “just get organized”? Hope is here, friend. Today I’m chatting with Dana K. White from A Slob Comes Clean and the author of the brand new book Jesus Doesn’t Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart . We have a fantastic conversation about the lies we believe about our self-worth when it comes to the state of our homes, and the actual truth: you don’t need to have it all together to enjoy the peace and freedom that comes from God’s grace - and the state of your home is NO indication of your worthiness or the strength of your faith. Dana is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us , Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind . Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and ideas at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com . I hope this conversation encourages you!

If you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed, it’s hard to get out of the negative thought spiral. What if there was a simple phrase that could pull you out of your circumstances and help you focus on the present moment? On today’s episode, Heather O’Brien and I speak about the simple phrase she uses and how you can implement this practice of gratitude in your own life. Heather is a prophetic healing coach, minister, author, and speaker. She helps Christians heal with God from trauma, anxiety, and depression by hearing God's voice. She is the host of a top 5% globally ranked podcast, Heal with God . She believes with God's help, you can forgive the unforgivable & heal from trauma. This is a faith-forward episode, but even for those who are not Christians, I know that our discussion of how to use present moment gratitude to combat anxiety will be a blessing to you.
