73: Ashley Tillman & Alicia Sepulveda (CU) at Dry Land Distillers: Holiday Nog & Innovation at CU

It’s our annual Creative Distillation holiday episode, and to ring in the season we’re spreading and receiving good cheer at one of our favorite locations, Dry Land Distillers, on Main Street in Longmont, Colorado. Dry Land founder Nels Wroe walks us through a couple of delicious libations, including Dry Land’s sweet (but not overly so) house egg nog. Nels also previews Dry Land’s seventh annual Nog Off, a fixture on the holiday calendars of many, and talks about Dry Land’s efforts to be Colorado’s first producer of regenerative spirits. Brad and Jeff are also joined by Ashley Tillman, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Director for the entire University of Colorado system, and Alicia Sepulveda, Assistant Director of Research at CU-Boulder’s RADD Lab, which conducts Research on Affective Disorders and Development. They talk about CU’s goal of being the #1 innovation and entrepreneurship program in the country, and how the challenges of the program prepares students for more successful outcomes in learning and employment, by instilling the “grit” required to succeed in their post-academic lives. All of that — plus the answer to the burning question of what came first, the eggnog or the rum? — on this very special episode of Creative Distillation. Enjoy and cheers — and happy holidays from all of us at Creative Distillation! —— This episode of Creative Distillation was recorded on location at Dry Land Distillers in Longmont, Colorado.
