In this episode of the Innovators and Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez welcomes Ralph Groce, an angel investor and partner at Scroobious. The conversation dives into the systemic challenges faced by underrepresented founders—especially women and people of color—in accessing capital. Scroobious aims to bridge the gap between these talented founders and a vast network of angel investors, tackling misconceptions about perceived risks associated with diverse entrepreneurs. Ralph shares his journey into angel investing, which was influenced by his father’s early investment education and his own entrepreneurial experiences. He emphasizes the importance of team dynamics, problem-solving relevance, and execution capabilities when assessing potential investments. Additionally, the discussion touches on the growing significance of AI in various sectors, especially financial services, indicating it as a transformative force for the future. Listeners will gain insights into investment philosophies, the role of mentorship for founders, and the influential strategies behind Scroobious’s mission of democratizing access to funding for innovative ideas.

In which we discuss the gritty world of Irish-rules cockfighting with our very own cockfight impresario, Erin. Also discussed: the mores of pre-Revolutionary France as portrayed in the little-seen "Valmont," and our forays in the robust field of Jason Priestely scholarship.
The first of our two-part interview series with show biz siblings Mick Jones, former lead guitar for The Clash, and Star Jones, former host (or was she?) of The View. In this episode, we discuss the struggles of growing up famous and Christmas pageants.
Irish cockfight impresario, Erin, and myself, discuss our inappropriate laughter, accusations that we are “high” and “drunk” when we are, in fact, not, and the pleasures of watching Italian men eat.
Tonight’s episode finds Maggie and Irish cockfighting impresario, Erin, discussing pop culture phenomena in which they cannot partake fully. Such sacred cows as “The Sound of Music” and “Friends” receive a sound lashing. What we foolishly thought would be our longest podcast thus far turned out to be our very shortest. This would be because Maggie hit “play” and not “record” after a Skype snafu. So, enjoy our very first cliffhanger podcast.…

As the nation learned of the death of Osama bin Laden, Erin and I were recording our Royal Wedding Post-Show. In our defense, we legitimately didn’t know this was going on at the time. Still, enjoy, and stay tuned for next week’s edition of “Because You Can’t Read All the Time.” Hitchens the dog can be heard making his debut appearance in the background.…
Welcome to the inaugural broadcast of, “Because You Can’t Read All the Time.” My dear friend Erin - whom I first met in London during the heady academic year of 2003-2004 - and I discuss the impending nuptials in our Royal Wedding pre-show.
