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.

What does it really mean to have your own opinion, your own perception, your own voice as an artist? In this episode, we dive deep into the unseen framework that shapes every creative journey: the internal world of opinions, perceptions, and ideas you either inherit… or discover for yourself. Too often, creatives unconsciously adopt the views of others without question — opinions passed down, absorbed through culture, or borrowed from the loudest voice in the room. But to create something authentic, something that moves people, you have to unearth what’s truly yours. This conversation is about becoming conscious of those influences, questioning inherited beliefs, and giving yourself permission to evolve. It’s about finding guidelines , not rigid rules — ideas to help you navigate your creative life with clarity, integrity, and authenticity. If you’re an artist, a storyteller, or anyone forging your own path, this episode will challenge you to check in with your own perceptions and offer some thought-provoking ideas to keep you aligned with what’s real. In This Episode: Why your opinions, perceptions, and creative "takes" matter — even when they aren’t “right” How to recognize when you’re operating from inherited beliefs rather than your own truth The difference between expressing emotion and mistaking emotion for truth Why creative growth means being willing to shed old ideas and remain open to new ones The danger of becoming a mouthpiece for someone else’s worldview without realizing it Why great art demands vulnerability — and how to embrace it without shame How to stay on course in your creative journey with simple guidelines , not rigid rules Why your job as an artist is to share your unique piece of humanity with the world Listen in if you’ve ever asked yourself: Is this really my voice? Do I believe this? Or am I just repeating what I was told? It’s time to tap into your own truth, create from that place, and see what happens. -- (Photo by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

What if the thing you’re chasing isn’t actually meant for you? In this episode, we unpack the difference between chasing passion and discovering your natural talents — and why so many creatives, artists, and dreamers get stuck trying to force themselves down paths that don’t fit. It’s a deep, honest conversation about how what first inspires you might just be a gateway, not a destination. We talk about the danger of clinging to an identity or career goal out of pride, fear, or ego, and why true growth requires flexibility, self-awareness, and the courage to pivot when necessary. We’ll challenge the idea that you’re “giving up” when you change course and explore how you can only truly find fulfillment when your talent and passion align. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working twice as hard for half the results, or like something isn’t quite clicking, this episode might reveal why — and what to do about it. This is your permission slip to follow the path that’s actually meant for you. Key Takeaways: Talent vs. Passion: How to recognize when passion is leading you, and when it might be blinding you to your real gifts When to Pivot: The difference between quitting and wisely changing course — and why the journey is meant to evolve Avoiding the Ego Trap: How pride and attachment can lock you into paths that no longer serve you The Power of Flexibility: Why your first interest is often just a starting point, not the final destination Discovering Natural Abilities: How talents often reveal themselves through experience and openness, not by forcing outcomes Finding Alignment: What it looks like when passion and talent work together, and why this alignment matters for long-term fulfillment Listening to What Life Is Showing You: How to assess the signs, options, and opportunities around you to make better, truer decisions for your future Why Listen? If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path or felt like you were forcing yourself to be someone you’re not, this episode will give you the clarity to reassess, the courage to redirect, and the permission to pursue what’s actually meant for you. Join us for a conversation about honesty, evolution, and discovering the real work you’re here to do. -- (Photo by Marek Piwnicki on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

When is the right time to share your work with the world? And how do you know if you’re truly ready — or just afraid? In this episode, we dive into the delicate balance between preparation and action in the creative journey. It’s a conversation about knowing yourself, trusting your development, and moving forward without rushing the process or hiding behind endless “not yet.” We unpack the internal questions every artist, creator, and storyteller must face: Why am I doing this? Am I being honest with myself? Am I avoiding the next step out of fear, or because I genuinely need to grow more first? It’s about finding that sweet spot — moving as quickly as you can while respecting the essential steps along the way. This isn’t about taking shortcuts or forcing outcomes. It’s about building something real, rooted in honesty, and knowing when it’s time to stop holding back. If you’ve ever wrestled with when to launch , when to share , or when to finally step into the arena , this one’s for you. Key Takeaways: Readiness vs. Fear: How to tell the difference between genuinely needing more time and simply playing small The Value of Development: Why nurturing your craft matters, and how it lays the foundation for everything that comes next Work from Truth, Not Ego: The importance of checking in with yourself honestly about your motives and readiness Avoiding Shortcuts: Why skipping steps might feel faster, but it never leads to the place you’re actually trying to reach Move Quickly, But Meaningfully: How to find your rhythm of progress without forcing it or holding yourself back unnecessarily The Inner Journey of Every Artist: Why one of the most important explorations you’ll ever make is into your own intentions and creative spirit Why Listen? If you’re navigating the tension between waiting for the “perfect” moment and knowing it’s time to take the leap, this episode will offer you clarity, encouragement, and a deeper sense of what moving forward on your terms really looks like. Join us for a conversation about getting out of your own way, honoring your process, and stepping into your next chapter — as quickly as possible, but never carelessly. -- (Photo by Jahanzeb Ahsan on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

What if the secret to a meaningful, fulfilling life isn’t about chasing the loudest passion or forcing yourself into a version of success that doesn’t fit — but about finding your natural flow and trusting where it leads you? In this thoughtful, honest conversation, we explore the deeper nature of contentment . It’s not just about being happy or settling — it’s about discovering who you truly are beneath the noise, and building a life aligned with your unique talents, dispositions, and spirit. We unpack why many of us start down paths that aren't really meant for us, why it’s okay (and sometimes necessary) to pivot, and how being honest with yourself is the compass that will lead you to the kind of work and life that feel natural and deeply rewarding. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing what isn’t meant for you — and start leaning into what is. Key Takeaways: Stop Forcing It: Why trying to be something you’re not robs you of ease, flow, and fulfillment The Journey of Discovery: How starting somewhere — even in the “wrong” place — is part of uncovering what’s true for you The Role of Inner Honesty: How regular, honest check-ins with yourself help you stay aligned with your spirit and avoid chasing ideas of success that aren’t yours Talent, Disposition & Flow: Learning to recognize your natural talents and inclinations, and how embracing them leads to more meaningful, sustainable contentment Letting Go Without Quitting: How to discern the difference between giving up and making a wise, necessary pivot Your Life, Your Fit: Why nobody else can tell you where you belong — and why that’s the beauty of it Why Listen? If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying too hard to make something work, or like your life isn’t quite fitting the way it should, this episode will help you recalibrate. It’s a conversation about self-trust, adaptability, and finding peace in the often messy, non-linear journey of creating a life that actually belongs to you. Tune in and let’s explore the art of living a life built on contentment — not compromise. -- (Photo by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

What if the key to unlocking your best work isn’t doing more —but doing less ? In this episode, we dive deep into the power of simplicity in the creative process. We explore how overthinking, over-planning, and overcomplicating your work can actually rob it of authenticity, spontaneity, and truth. When complexity leads the way, ego often follows close behind—and that’s when we lose the raw, honest impulse that makes art powerful in the first place. As artists, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make things impressive. But often, the most moving and memorable work comes from a place of emotional truth, not intellectual control. We talk about the importance of letting go, honoring the process, and learning to feel our way through rather than think our way through. Whether you're an actor, writer, filmmaker, or any type of creative, this episode is a call to return to your instincts—to simplify, to trust, and to reconnect with the deeper voice that wants to come through you. Key Takeaways: Simplicity vs. Complexity How unnecessary complexity can block creativity and authenticity Why simplicity is often the most powerful artistic choice The Trap of Overthinking How ego and intellect can misguide the creative process Why feeling is often more effective than thinking in artistic work Trusting the Process Letting go of control and surrendering to the unknown Understanding that art often works through you—not the other way around The Role of Skill and Training Why developing your craft matters—but shouldn’t limit your exploration How preparation allows you to navigate the unexpected when it arrives Returning to Your Creative Impulse Reconnecting with the core of what moved you to create in the first place Learning to release outcomes and embrace presence Why Listen? If you're feeling stuck, disconnected from your work, or caught in a cycle of overthinking and perfectionism, this episode offers a refreshing reset. It’s a conversation about getting back to what really matters: truth, presence, and the simple spark that started it all. Join us as we peel back the layers and return to the essence of creativity—where simplicity leads, and the art becomes something truly alive. -- (Photo by Christophe Meyer on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

What makes a movie truly unforgettable? Is it the story, the performances, the cinematography—or something deeper? In this episode, we explore the essence of the cinematic experience, diving into how film has evolved over the years and where it might be headed next. We take a critical look at the impact of CGI—where it has elevated storytelling and where it has fallen short. We reflect on the artistry of classic filmmaking, where narrative, acting, lighting, and cinematography took center stage, and discuss what has been lost (and gained) in today’s digital era. As industry professionals with over 20 years of experience in acting, filmmaking, screenwriting, and producing, we bring an insider’s perspective on the changing landscape of film and television. We discuss what it takes to make a mark in today’s industry, where aspiring filmmakers, actors, and writers often get stuck, and how true creativity comes from breaking away from the norm—not just doing things “right,” but doing them true . If you’re a film lover, a creative, or someone passionate about storytelling, this conversation is for you. Key Themes & Takeaways: The Evolution of the Cinematic Experience What makes a movie feel truly cinematic? How has CGI changed the way we experience films—for better and for worse? The Lost Art of Classic Filmmaking How older films relied on strong narratives, acting, cinematography, and lighting. What has been lost in the digital age, and what we can learn from the past. The Rise of TV and Streaming How television has reshaped the way we consume storytelling. The blurred lines between film and TV in today’s media landscape. The Business of Filmmaking Today The financial realities of making movies in the modern industry. Why some creative approaches thrive while others fall flat. Standing Out in the Film Industry The importance of authenticity over conformity in storytelling. How to carve your own path as a filmmaker, actor, or screenwriter. Why Listen? If you’re a filmmaker, actor, writer, or just someone who loves the magic of movies, this episode will challenge you to think differently about the art and business of film. Whether you’re looking to find your voice as a creator or simply want to understand why certain movies resonate more deeply than others, this conversation is packed with insights that might just change the way you see cinema.

What makes something truly beautiful? Is beauty something we create, or is it something we discover? In this episode, we dive deep into the essence of beauty—its role in art, creativity, and life itself. We explore how beauty can be designed but also how it often emerges unpredictably, striking us in ways we never expected. True beauty isn’t just about surface appeal; it has depth, meaning, and a life of its own. But when we try too hard to manufacture beauty from the wrong place, we risk creating something hollow, something that looks perfect at first glance but falls apart upon closer inspection. Real beauty includes the mess, the rawness, the imperfections—it’s in the thorn as much as it’s in the rose. When artists embrace this, they have the power to shift perspectives, showing us how even something "ugly" can be breathtaking in the right light. This conversation will challenge the way you think about beauty and inspire you to explore your art in ways that might just change everything. Key Themes & Takeaways: Beauty is real, but we don’t fully control it. Some of it can be designed, but much of it is wild, chaotic, and surprising. The most powerful beauty is often discovered, not manufactured. Depth vs. Surface-Level Beauty: Authentic beauty runs deep and has substance beyond its presentation. Fake beauty may look impressive but can feel empty, lifeless, or even ugly upon closer examination. The Role of the Artist in Revealing Beauty: True beauty includes the full picture—the flaws, the heartbreak, the unexpected elements. Great artists help us see the world differently, finding beauty in what others overlook. The Risk of Creating from the Wrong Place: Trying to force beauty can lead to something that feels artificial and disconnected. Instead of chasing perfection, embrace the raw, real, and unfiltered. A New Way to See & Create: Beauty is not just in what is obviously "pretty"—it’s in the contrast, the complexity, the truth. This shift in perspective can revolutionize the way you approach your own creativity. Why Listen? This episode is for artists, creatives, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of beauty—what it is, how it functions, and why it matters. If you’ve ever struggled with making your work feel authentic or questioned why some things resonate more deeply than others, this conversation will offer powerful insights. Join us as we uncover the real function of beauty and explore how embracing its unpredictability can elevate your art, your perspective, and your creative process. -- (Photo by Sarah Dorweiler on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…

What drives you to create? Why does your art matter—right now? In this episode, we explore the deeper purpose behind creativity and challenge you to look beyond trends, expectations, and external validation. It’s about tapping into your true artistic voice, questioning the status quo, and daring to create something meaningful. If you’ve ever felt pressured to follow what’s popular rather than what’s authentic, this conversation is for you. Key Themes: Asking the Big Questions: Why are you creating this work? Why does it matter at this moment? Breaking Free from Trends: Avoiding the trap of copying what’s popular. Recognizing when you’re following external expectations instead of your own truth. The Courage to Be Different: How great artists stand out by staying true to themselves. Why going against the grain is often necessary for real impact. Creating from Values, Not Validation: Listening to your heart rather than chasing approval. Overcoming fear and self-doubt to express what truly matters to you. Art as a Reflection of Who You Are: Your creative work isn’t just about success—it’s about meaning. How your unique perspective might be exactly what the world needs. What You’ll Learn: How to align your art with your personal values. Why originality requires courage. Ways to silence external noise and trust your instincts. How to create work that resonates deeply, rather than just fitting in. This episode is a call to action for artists who want to make a difference—not by chasing fame, but by staying true to what they have to say. If you’ve ever felt torn between what’s expected and what’s real, this conversation will inspire you to trust yourself and create something truly meaningful. -- (Photo by Majestic Lukas on Unsplash ) ...And if you're loving the show, don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE IT with your friends, and VISIT OUR WEBSITE for even more content! www.WayoftheArtist.com…
