Our series from the Reversing the Arrow conference, held in June 2024 at Boulder’s Chautauqua Park, continues with a Lightning Round, in which each of our three guests talk about their recent published research in less than 45(ISH) minutes — all while enjoying a refreshing summer saisson from Denver’s TRVE Brewing.

Virginia Tech Assistant Professor of Management Katie Brownell leads off with The Triad Divided, a paper examining how certain types of narcissism can actually be beneficial in certain entrepreneurial settings.

Then, returning Creative Distillation guest Beth Embry, Assistant Professor in the Management and Entrepreneurship Academic Area at the University of Kansas, talks about trauma’s impact on the workplace, a subject explored in her paper, If the Body Keeps the Score.

Seungah Lee, Policy Adviser, Consultant and Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Organizations from HEC-Paris, closes out the episode by discussing the findings from Entrepreneurship For All?, her study of the rise of global entrepreneurship since 1950.

All in all, we think you’ll find our lightning round to be…electrifying.

Enjoy and cheers!

75: "Lightning Round" with Katie Brownell (VaTech)/Beth Embry (KU)/Seungah Lee (HEC Paris) and TRVE Brewing's Summer Saisson

We conclude our recordings from the June 2024 Reversing the Arrow conference with a panel discussion which took place at the historic Chautauqua Community House.

Our panel is composed of:

•Christina Lubinski, Professor of Entrepreneurship at The Copenhagen Business School
•Seungah Lee, Policy Adviser, Consultant and Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Organizations from HEC-Paris
•The ubiquitous Bob Eberhart from the University of San Diego and founder of the Reversing the Arrow Conference, with a record-setting Creative Distillation appearance.

The episode begins with Jeff dazzling us with his beer knowledge during a tasting featuring product from two local brewers:

Upslope’ German Style Pilsner (in which Jeff enumerates the differences between German and Czech style Pilsners)
AND
Liquid Mechanics’ Lucid AF IPA (we’re not sure what the AF stands for; what do you think?)

As our panelists enjoy their beverages, they discuss the Reversing the Arrow conference’s mission: to examine entrepreneurship’s actual impact on society.

Bob notes that the subjects addressed at the conference over the years are finding their way into military and governmental spheres, as well as affecting curriculum and teaching at the academic level. 

The group also discusses whether the potential harm of entrepreneurialism taught as an ideology outweighs its positive social effects.

It’s a fascinating discussion from a fascinating conference.

Enjoy and cheers!

77: Reversing the Arrow Impact Panel with Christina Lubinski (CBS), Seungah Lee (HEC Paris) and Bob Eberhart (USD), and Upslope and Liquid Mechanics Beer

Our penultimate episode from the Reversing the Arrow conference features a classic sit-down interview with Kathy Eisenhardt,  Stanford W. Ascherman, M.D., Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford.

Kathy, as you’ll hear, is a legend in entrepreneurship education. Her trailblazing approach to researching how entrepreneurship really works makes her one of Jeff’s heroes. And the Eisenhardt Method, which she developed, deeply impresses Brad with its common sense approach. We think it’ll impress you too. 

Kathy was also the PhD advisor for Bob Eberhart, Creative Distillation’s most frequent guest and founder of the Reversing the Arrow conference.

In this fast-moving discussion, Kathy, Brad and Jeff talk about the pretty cool things that happen when business students meet engineering students — and how entrepreneurship programs serve as ideal incubators for great outcomes.

Other topics include the findings of a recent paper that Kathy co-authored on civilian drones, advice for young entrepreneurs, and the simple reasons why she and our hosts prefer the qualitative to the quantitative.

It’s a riveting conversation with someone who has been directing traffic at the intersection of business, engineering and entrepreneurship education for decades.

Enjoy and cheers!
