EPISODE 56: Year-end Undergrad Q&A at Boulder's legendary Sundown Saloon
This episode takes us underground, to Boulder, Colorado’s legendary Sundown Saloon. In the words of Joel, our producer, it’s a 5-star dive bar.
It’s getting near the end of the semester, and Brad and Jeff hold court here to take questions from several of Brad’s undergraduate entrepreneurship students. Brad must be doing something right, because his students ask some very good questions. Of course, he and Jeff offer some great and useful answers. Whether you’re still in school or not, there are some solid takeaways here.
Enjoy and cheers!
The Sundown Saloon doesn't have a website; you’ll just have to go and experience the 'downer for yourself the next time you’re in downtown Boulder.

EPISODE 55: Ethan Poskanzer (Colorado) and the Consequences of Workplace Protest Participation
Previously on Creative Distillation: it was the Great Pumpkin Beer Episode, recorded on location in Jeff’s gaming dungeon. He and Brad were joined by CU Assistant Professor for Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Operations, Ethan Poskanzer, conducting field research in the form of a ranked tasting of several pumpkin beers.
This time, we're still in Jeff's gaming dungeon, discussing Ethan's recent paper, "The Career Consequences of Workplace Protest Participation: Theory and Evidence from the NFL 'Take a Knee' Movement". Ethan breaks down the research on employee activism, how it can influence an individual’s organizational and labor market mobility outcomes. They investigate this premise with the 2016 National Football League “take a knee” protests as a strategic research setting.
Enjoy and cheers!
We hope you enjoyed this episode of Creative Distillation, recorded on location in Jeff’s gaming dungeon in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.

It’s the Great Pumpkin Beer Episode, faithful listeners — Jeff’s favorite and Brad’s least favorite day of the year! We convene in Jeff’s gaming dungeon for a thoroughly expert and entertaining tasting of pumpkin beer, hand-selected by our host, a true pumpkin connoisseur.
Joined by fellow lover of fall and CU Assistant Professor for Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Operations, Ethan Poskanzer, Jeff and Brad share their remarkably strong feelings about this seasonal beverage. You’ll laugh, then laugh some more, and gain a deeper understanding of pumpkin beer — whether you like it or not.

EPISODE 47: Andrea Prado (INCAE) on Venture Creation and Growth in Low-Income Markets (LA Road Trip!)
On this installment of Creative Distillation, we continue our LA Road Trip with the last of three interviews recorded during a now-legendary outdoor cocktail reception at the Social Entrepreneurship conference hosted by the USC's Marshall School of Business.
Brad and Jeff speak with Andrea Prado, Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at INCAE Business School in San Jose, Costa Rica. They talk about her latest paper, “Serving rural low-income markets through a social entrepreneurship approach: Venture creation and growth”, published in 2022 in the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, and looking at how to bring products and services to low income rural communities in developing countries. If you think the answer is to give everything away, you’ll be surprised by her findings.
At some point, Indiana University’s Sophie Bock, Social Entrepreneurship Conference co-coordinator and friend of the podcast, and Julienne Shields, President and CEO of USASBE, the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, crash the party, bringing their own interesting takes to the conversation and making a good time truly great.

EPISODE 37: It's the Great Pumpkin Beer Episode!
In this installment of Creative Distillation, Brad and Jeff conduct their field research closer to home: the conference room at the Deming Center. It’s Halloween, Jeff’s favorite time of year, and today he’s walking us through a tasting of assorted pumpkin beers. Spoiler alert: Brad detests pumpkin beer and brought a “taster” with him, and our guest, Desiree Pacheco from IESE in Barcelona, is gluten free and doesn’t drink beer. Mild chaos ensues. It’s another classic Creative Distillation holiday episode!

Set against the backdrop of Upslope Brewing’s grain auger churning in the background, Leeds’ Executive MBAs continued to pose challenging questions, such as: what are York and Warner’s perspectives about the importance of values and support systems when starting an organization; the supply chain challenges and changes Cutter faced during COVID; and then delving into York’s research-focused and Werner’s investor-based perspectives on taking an organization from bootstrap to exit in 10 years.
