Out To Lunch - New Orleans Business Podcast

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.

There’s an even worse circle of Hell you can find yourself in. Not only stuck in an airport, but now your phone’s dead. And there’s no place to charge it up. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a temporary plug-in battery that let you use your phone immediately and keep moving so you’re not tied to a wall outlet? You can do exactly that – thanks to New Orleans startup company Mobile Qubes.
