It’s New Orleans: Out to Lunch

Hosted ByPeter Ricchiuti

Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business finance professor Peter Ricchiuti holds court over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans. Peter's lunch guests are New Orleans business people, from startups to CEO's, from artists to tech entrepreneurs, musicians to movers-and-shakers. New Orleans is on everybody's list as a great place to party but it's also on many lists of the best place to start a business. Peter's deeply knowledgable and equally levity-laden approach to business conversation neatly makese sense of the Crescent City's contradictions.

Social Media Angel – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

Chris Schultz gets to hear a lot of great ideas. Just walking through Launchpad, the unofficial headquarters of New Orleans’ I.T. start up world that Chris co-founded, can be enough to make your head spin. To say nothing of Chris’s day job as an angel investor through his company Voodoo Ventures. Chris talks about his latest venture, an app that measures happiness. Yes, happiness.

Chris Mckenzie and Peter

Everyone is talking about McKenzie Coco’s company FSC Interactive. After all, how could you run one of New Orleans most effective social media marketing companies without everyone talking about you? McKenzie’s clients range from Hotel Monteleone to the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau and from Uptown Magazine Street to the Downtown Development Disttrict.

McKenzie!

In the Pay It Forward section of the show Peter, McKenzie and Chris weigh in on the all too bright future of New Orleans sunglass startup Krewe du Optic.
