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.

Grant Fox on All Blacks Legacy, Fatherhood & Ryan Fox’s Golfing Rise 2:09:42

2:09:42

In the history of rugby in New Zealand there have been a total of 1,223 All Blacks. Of that elite group, a much smaller number go on to be known as All Black legends. GRANT FOX most definitely has legend status- he is a genuine New Zealand rugby icon. He wore the number 10 jersey and is considered one of the greatest goal kickers of all time. He was part of the team that won the first ever Rugby World Cup in 1987. When he retired as a player, his involvement with the sport continued in the roles of coach, broadcaster and All Black selector. (He is also the dad to one of the world’s top golfers). In this brutally honest and wide-ranging conversation, the man known as “Foxy” opens-up like never before. We talk vulnerability, regret, fatherhood, legacy, and walking away from the game that defined him. Some of the topics include Life after the All Blacks The emotional cost of coaching What it means to be a good dad and husband Watching Ryan Fox make his own name The real reason he walked away from rugby *** Thanks to Generate for sponsoring this episode.

Biggest True Crime Podcaster: Ryan Wolf on ‘Guilt’ and CRAZIEST Murder Stories 1:29:24

1:29:24

When it comes to true crime podcasting in New Zealand, Ryan Wolf is in a league of his own. Even if you've never pressed play on his gripping podcast Guilt , you've probably heard about it in the news: this is the series that’s led NZ Police to re-examine their own investigations on major cases. And the wildest part? Ryan is completely self-taught. No big media company behind him, no big studio. Just a husband and dad of 2 kids under 5 who is producing world-class content from a spare room in his house. In this episode, we unpack how this trained lawyer, former Shortland Street actor and part-time house flipper accidentally became one of Aotearoa’s most important storytellers. We chat about his non negotiables: like support of the victims’ families and the importance of prioritizing truth and making a difference over entertainment. If you're already a Guilt fan, this is a must-listen. If you’re not, chances are, by the end of this, you will want to give it a listen. Or at the very least, you’ll be introduced to an inspiring guy who is doing incredible work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

1:44:02

Dr. Ben O'Keeffe is one of the best rugby referees in the world—and he's also a fully qualified doctor, specializing in ophthalmology. This episode first dropped in 2023, shortly after Ben made headlines for the intense backlash (including death threats) he received after officiating the Super Rugby Final between the Crusaders and the Chiefs. Since the Super Rugby 2025 final is again between these two fierce rivals, I thought I'd re-release the episode ICYMI the first time round. In this conversation, we unpack Ben’s unique double life as a top-level rugby referee and an eye surgeon. We talk about his journey through medicine, his passion for the game, and how he deals with pressure, criticism, and the spotlight that comes with both careers. I originally invited Ben on the podcast after his honest Instagram post went viral—calling out some of the horrific messages he received post-match. But beyond the drama, he's just a bloody inspiring Kiwi, doing incredible things with humility and focus. If you missed this episode the first time around, now’s the perfect time to catch up.

Struck by 110,000 Volts: Troy Hall’s Journey back From The Dead 1:31:08

16 днів тому1:31:08

1:31:08

In 2011, 22 year old Troy Hall was young, fit, and working hard to turn his life around after years of addiction and violence. Then, on a rainy day in Tauranga, everything changed: A freak accident involving overhead power lines left him clinically dead, twice. What followed was months in hospital, countless surgeries, extreme burns, the loss of body parts, and a long road through depression, trauma, and recovery. In this emotional and brutally honest chat, Troy opens up about his old life in gang culture, his near-death experience, and the grueling mental and physical recovery that followed. He talks candidly about suicidal thoughts, fatherhood, body image, self-worth, and how it’s taken him over a decade to finally feel proud of himself. I feel like the words ‘raw’ and ‘powerful’ get a bit overused in the podcast space these days. But this conversation is most definitely those things. Troy's story is one of resilience, perspective, healing, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling stuck, hopeless, or not good enough—this episode is for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

I thought I’d re-share the episode in case you missed it when it first came out two years, because Ryan is playing the best golf of his career in 2025.

Cam Webster was part of the Team NZ crew who won the Americas Cup in Barcelona in 2024. What made this moment of sporting success even more significant for Cam was the journey he took to get there. Before joining Team NZ, Cam spent 15 years dedicating his life to rowing. He even endured the devastation of missing out on the Olympics, twice, and watching on TV has his mates went on to win gold medals. In June 2022 Cam retired from rowing. Then in December that year he trialed for Team NZ and the rest is history. This is part of the Cam Webster story. It is his first ever podcast and it is an absolute honor that its here with me. Some of the stuff we talk about include: + The frustrations of trying your absolute best and it not being quite good enough. + Being told, after years of grinding, that you weren’t quite good enough to go to the Olympics. Then watching your best friends and former teammates go on to win a gold medal. + Adapting to life after rowing and how that drastic life shift looked. + Then the Team New Zealand stuff from the grueling trials right up to winning the Americas Cup. Cam Webster is a hard-working guy with a great attitude. His story is a reminder that sometimes your best is not good enough. This is also a masterclass in positivity, adversity, resilience and bouncing back from disappointment. So many cool gems and takeaways in this conversation. Hosted on Acast.

Dave Wood is a high-performance coach. He hosts workshops at West Auckland’s Piha Beach called Calm Under Pressure which combine mental and physical challenges- clients (including UFC stars, Team NZ champions and Olympic athletes) often describe these workshops as life changing. Dave Wood has done a lot, seen a lot and learned a lot. I genuinely believe if you are listening to this episode in the right frame of mind- ready to learn and open to some new ways of thinking, this podcast conversation could be transformational. It’s a podcast of two halves. The first half is stuff we can all draw from around mental skill development and personal growth. The second half is all about Dave and who he is: a kid who struggled with learning who became the youngest surf lifesaving captain in New Zealand before going on some INSANE travel adventures before becoming an emergency paramedic. After listening to this, if you are keen to attend one of Dave’s Calm Under Pressure workshops, you will get 20% OFF if you book BEFORE June 7 2025 https://wmw.co.nz/book-now/calm-under-pressure/ https://www.instagram.com/integrated__training/ Hosted on Acast.

Or maybe it won’t. And either of those outcomes are fine. I enjoyed the conversation, and I hope you do too. **** This episode is sponsored by Generate Kiwisaver.
