Out To Lunch: French Market Film Market

When you're the CEO of a company you're principally required to make money. Then there's a whole other kind of business leadership, where things aren't quite so black and white.

Peter's guests on this episode of Out to Lunch inhabit a business world where they're supposed to make money and juggle often conflicting demands of politics, the local and tourist economy, the public good, urban history, and entertainment.

Jon Smith is Executive Director of The French Market. Jolene Pinder is Executive Director of the New Orleans Film Society and Film Festival. Jon has to keep the Market ticking 365 days a year. Jolene's business year is focused principally on a 7-day festival.

Peter and Out to Lunch go shopping, go to the movies, and walk the dog. On the You Heard It Here First segment of the show Peter introduces Brendan Minard and his pet care startup, PetCareLinks.com.

Peter Ricchiuti is the finance professor you wish you had back in college! His insight and humor have twice made him the top professor at Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business. After a successful career on Wall Street, Ricchiuti served for five years as Assistant State Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer for the State of Louisiana. There he skillfully managed the State's $3 billion investment portfolio.
