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.

Hello lovely People! This week I am covering goddess spirituality and cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation refers to the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of elements from a culture that is not your own. It's particularly problematic when these elements are taken from minority cultures by members of a dominant culture.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of cultural appropriation:
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of cultural appropriation:
- Power Imbalance: The act is often rooted in a power imbalance, where dominant cultures borrow elements from marginalized cultures without understanding their significance or giving back.
- Lack of Respect: Cultural appropriation can be disrespectful because it treats cultural elements as mere commodities or fashion statements, ignoring their historical and spiritual context.
- Stereotypes and Misrepresentation: It can also reinforce stereotypes and misrepresent the richness and complexity of the original culture.
Examples of Cultural Appropriation:
- Wearing a Native American headdress at a music festival without understanding its spiritual significance.
- Using sacred symbols from another religion as a decorative element in fashion.
Cultural Appreciation vs. Appropriation:
Cultural appreciation, on the other hand, involves learning about and respecting a different culture in a way that is respectful and honors its traditions. Here are some key differences:
Cultural appreciation, on the other hand, involves learning about and respecting a different culture in a way that is respectful and honors its traditions. Here are some key differences:

- Context and Understanding: It involves learning about the context and meaning behind cultural elements.
- Giving Back: Cultural appreciation can involve supporting cultural artists and initiatives.
The Importance of Understanding:
Understanding cultural appropriation is important because it raises awareness about respecting the diversity of cultures and avoiding disrespect or trivialization.
Here are some additional points to consider:

This week is all about the goddess, Ereshkigal. Ereshkigal is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of the underworld, a powerful and enigmatic deity who ruled over the land of the dead. Her name means “Queen of the Great Earth” or “Lady of the Great Place,” referring to the realm of the dead, often called Kur or Irkalla. Her Roles and Responsibilities: Queen of the Underworld: Ereshkigal governs Ganzir, the palace at the entrance to the netherworld, and oversees the souls of the dead. She enforces the boundary between life and death, once a soul enters, it cannot return. Sister of Inanna (Ishtar): In Sumerian mythology, she is the dark counterpart to her sister Inanna, the goddess of love, fertility, and war. Their relationship is explored in the myth The Descent of Inanna , where Inanna ventures into Ereshkigal’s realm and is stripped of her power and killed, only to be resurrected later. Wife of Nergal (in Akkadian myth): In the myth Nergal and Ereshkigal , she takes Nergal, the god of war and plague, as her consort, and the two rule the underworld together. This myth reflects themes of power, submission, and balance between chaos and order. What Ereshkigal Represents Death and the Afterlife: She personifies the inevitability and finality of death, not as punishment, but as a natural passage for all souls. Order and Justice: She ensures that burial rituals are observed and that the dead are treated with respect. If not, she may allow the dead to rise as ghosts to correct the living. Sacred Boundaries: Ereshkigal maintains the divine separation between the worlds, and violations, like Inanna’s descent, must be paid for with a price. Divine Grief and Power: Though she is powerful, she also experiences deep pain and mourning, showing that even goddesses carry emotional burdens. Citations for this episode: Joshua J.

This week is all about the Greek Goddess, Astraea . Astraea is a Greek goddess associated with justice, innocence, purity, and the stars. Her name means "star-maiden" or "starry night." She is often considered a daughter of Zeus and Themis, though some myths link her to Eos (dawn) and Astraeus (the dusk god), connecting her more symbolically to the celestial. Key Aspects of Astraea: Personification of Justice: Astraea represents the idea of divine justice (similar to her mother Themis or Roman equivalent Justitia). She is typically depicted holding scales, symbolizing impartial judgment. Golden Age Figure: According to mythology, Astraea lived among humans during the Golden Age, a time of peace and harmony. As humanity grew more corrupt during the Iron Age, she was the last immortal to leave Earth, ascending to the sky. Becomes the Constellation Virgo: After leaving Earth, Astraea was placed among the stars as the constellation Virgo. The scales she held became the nearby constellation Libra, symbolizing justice. Symbolism: Hope and Return: In later myths and Renaissance thought, Astraea came to symbolize hope for a return to a golden age of justice and virtue. Popular in Literature and Art: She appears in works by Ovid, Hesiod, and later Renaissance poets like Edmund Spenser and John Milton, often as a symbol of lost virtue or ideal governance.

This week I tackled the complex Hellenic Queen of the Underworld, Persephone. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and is often associated with spring, renewal, and maidenhood. But her story is one of transformation: she is abducted by Hades, god of the Underworld, and taken to be his queen. In her mother’s grief, the earth becomes barren , the origin of winter. Eventually, a compromise is struck: Persephone will spend part of the year in the Underworld and part above. Thus, she becomes a goddess of duality, ruling both the realm of the dead and the return of life to the earth. In this episode I discuss all of the mythological stories of Persephone and how to connect with her. Hope you all enjoy!…

This week is all about the Huastec/Aztec goddess, Tlazolteotl. Tlazolteotl is an important deity in the Aztec pantheon, often referred to as the goddess of filth, purification, sexuality, and fertility. Her name roughly translates to "She who is the earth," or "The goddess of filth," with "tlazolli" meaning filth or dirt, and "teotl" meaning god or divine force. She plays a complex role within Aztec mythology, embodying both the destructive and regenerative aspects of life. Tlazolteotl is associated with purification, particularly related to physical and spiritual cleansing. She helps to remove impurities, including those related to sexuality, sin, and guilt. In Aztec society, it was believed that the goddess could purify individuals who had committed transgressions, particularly through rituals involving confession and atonement. As a goddess of sexuality and fertility, Tlazolteotl was linked to the power of sexual activity, both in terms of its creation and destruction. She was seen as a protector of sexual relationships, but also as one who could purify and cleanse any associated shame or guilt. This made her a complex figure, embodying the contradictory nature of sexuality as both sacred and profane. Note: I do realize I pronounced her name 2 different ways throughout the episode! Apologies. Hope you all enjoy this long episode!…

This week we are exploring the Roman Goddess, Fortuna! Fortuna is the ancient Roman goddess of luck, fate, and fortune. Often depicted with a cornucopia (symbolizing abundance) and a wheel (representing the cyclical nature of fate), she embodies the unpredictable forces of chance that govern human lives. Fortuna was believed to control the fortune of individuals and communities, dispensing both good and bad luck. In Roman mythology, she was seen as a capricious force, unpredictable and beyond human control, which led people to invoke her for protection and blessings in their personal and public affairs. Fortuna's wheel symbolizes the constant shifting of fortunes, reminding that both prosperity and hardship are transient. Her power extended beyond individuals to entire nations, and she was widely worshipped, especially in times of uncertainty. Her mythological influence has lasted through history, with the concept of "Fortune's Wheel" remaining a metaphor for the ups and downs of fate in modern times. Sources for this episode: Harper, E.

Pandora's Box is a Greek myth in which Pandora, the first woman created by the gods, is given a box (or jar) and told not to open it. Driven by curiosity, she opens the box, releasing all the evils of the world—sorrow, disease, and misfortune. However, at the bottom of the box, she finds hope, which remains inside to help humanity endure the hardships unleashed by her actions.

This week I am focusing on the Greek Goddess Baubo! Baubo is a lesser-known but powerful figure in Greek mythology, known as the goddess of humor, fertility, joy, and the sacredness of the body. She is most famous for her role in the myth of Demeter and Persephone, where, in a moment of deep grief, Baubo uses humor and a playful, irreverent act to make Demeter laugh and break through her sorrow. In doing so, Baubo helped restore balance to the earth, allowing life to return and the harvest to be restored. Baubo embodies the Sacred Fool archetype—using humor, absurdity, and the breaking of taboos as tools for healing and transformation. She represents the power of laughter to heal, challenge social norms, and restore joy, especially in times of hardship. Baubo is also associated with fertility, the body, and unapologetic self-expression, encouraging women to reclaim their physicality, sexuality, and freedom from societal expectations. To connect with Baubo, you might focus on cultivating humor, embracing your body, and finding joy in the unexpected. Offer her flowers and plants that resemble vulvas (like poppies, tulips, or lilies), or use geranium essential oil to invoke her energy. Crazy lace agate, known as the "laughter stone," is also associated with her. By embodying Baubo's playful, transformative spirit, you can invite more joy, healing, and freedom into your life.…

Hi Folks! This week we are covering the Greek Goddess of Discord, Eris. She is a controversial figure and very disliked by the Greek authors such as Hesiod. Eris is the Greek goddess of discord and chaos. In mythology, she is often depicted as a figure who incites conflict and rivalry among both gods and mortals. One of her most famous appearances is in the story of the Trojan War, where she throws the golden apple inscribed "To the fairest" among the goddesses, leading to the Judgment of Paris and ultimately to the war itself. Eris is sometimes portrayed as a companion to Ares, the god of war, emphasizing her association with chaos and conflict. Unlike many other deities, she embodies the notion that discord can lead to change and new beginnings, making her a complex figure in Greek mythology. While she often brings turmoil, her influence can also be seen as a catalyst for growth and transformation. Invocation to Eris: " Homage to thee, O Eris, at thy beautiful chaos. Of all that is Sweet, of all that is Bitter, thou hast domination over all. Hail Eris!Hail Discordia! O divine madness, self-created, self-anointed, self-serve, thou art Goddess of Heaven, and Earth, thou did create beings celestial and terrestrial. Live thou in me, and I in thee, O thou Golden Apple of the Sun!” From: https://vocal.media/futurism/ways-of-worship-eris…

This week is all about the Greek Muses! The Muses have a rich history in ancient Greek mythology, embodying the ideals of art and knowledge. Their origins can be traced back to early Greek religion, where they were considered divine figures associated with creativity and inspiration. Early Origins Hesiod’s Theogony: The Muses are first prominently mentioned in Hesiod's "Theogony" (circa 700 BCE), where they are described as the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Hesiod identifies them as nine in number, each presiding over different aspects of the arts and sciences. Roles and Functions The Muses served as sources of inspiration for poets, musicians, and artists, often invoked at the beginning of literary works. They were believed to bestow the gift of creativity upon mortals. Each Muse was associated with specific domains: Calliope with epic poetry, Clio with history, Erato with love poetry, and so on. Cult and Worship Temples and shrines were dedicated to the Muses, especially in places like Helicon and Parnassus, which were considered sacred to them. Festivals celebrating the Muses included poetry competitions and musical performances. The Muses were often depicted in art, usually shown as beautiful young women, each holding attributes that symbolize their respective domains. The Muses continue to inspire contemporary culture, representing the pursuit of creativity in various forms of art and literature. Their legacy endures as archetypes of inspiration, symbolizing the timeless human quest for knowledge and artistic expression.

Commanding queens who lead to sacred light the intellect refin'd from Error's night; And to mankind each holy rite disclose, for mystic knowledge from your nature flows.
