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.

A New Day At The Office – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

If you’re on Facebook, you see photos of yourself pop up from two, three, or ten years ago. Even though they’re photos that you posted, you still get a surprise to see what you looked like and what you were doing just a few years ago.

If we took snapshots of our work environment we might feel the same way. The way we work is constantly evolving.

Peter’s guests on this edition of Out to Lunch represent two snapshots of where we are as a workforce.

Mike Perry

Mike Perry is taking the New Orleans way of life and folding it into a way to work with an enterprise that’s part business incubator and part Mardi Gras Krewe, called The Mystic Krewe of the Silver Ball.

Erin Wilson

Erin Wilson is Operations Manager of a co-working space called The Warehouse that’s helping re-define what it means to go to work.

Peter, Erin and Mike are taking a unique look at the way we live and work on today’s Out to Lunch.
