Due to a long commute and a penchant for long walks, I am a voracious podcast listener and was thrilled to meet the series host Mark Sylvester at an event in Santa Barbara. I am regularly inspired by the caliber of the conversations, guests and intellectual way Mark and his co-host Patrick break down their guests expertise, experience and make it applicable to all of us entrepreneurs. It’s really a pleasure to listen to and as I drive up and down the central coast to and from my startup, I leave something new whenever I tune into 805conversations.” – iTune Review by MyIrishEyes

“California Lutheran University’s School of Management sees its role going beyond the classroom. Working with industry leaders and entrepreneurs is a win-win for everyone – the educational experience at Cal Lutheran is improved and our students, faculty members and alumni help the community around us.” – Gerhard Apfelthaler, Dean of the School of Management at Cal Lutheran
“Podcasts with our region’s thought leaders are one of the innovative ways that 805connect is bringing relevant, useful resources and connection to businesses of all sizes throughout the 805 corridor. I recently had the opportunity to join Mark and Patrick in a podcast, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  Not only was the conversation wide ranging and thought provoking, but Mark and Patrick elevated our discussion in ways that I think will provide listeners with key insights for all businesses that can be easily understood and considered for implementation.” – Tolman & Wiker’s CEO Greg Van Ness
