What do entrepreneurship, innovation, national security, and the Midwest all have in common? As it turns out, a lot! The Midwest Innovation Podcast (MIP), a collaboration between The Mill and Dioltas, explores how middle America is fertile ground for new ideas, collaborative efforts, and transforming concepts into valuable products and services that can disrupt a market and support our national strategic interests. Serious topics are tempered by the dry humor and (somewhat) quick wit of hosts Andy Lehman (The Mill), Heath Murray, and Jeremy Brilliant (Dioltas).
Why move a startup from Chicago to Bloomington, Indiana? Ravi Bhatt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravibhatt/), Co-Founder & CEO of Folia (https://www.folia.com/), and Erik Coyne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikcoyne/), Co-Founder and COO, share how creating military, legal and financial documents led to the birth of a digital notebook synthesizer. We explore the growing technology community throughout the Midwest and how leaders today can grow a company from anywhere in the world. NOTE: Eric Coyne is now also Chancellor, Ivy Tech Bloomington. This episode was recorded before his appointment.
