IDK: Let’s Figure It Out podcast

In this episode of the Innovators and Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez welcomes Ralph Groce, an angel investor and partner at Scroobious. The conversation dives into the systemic challenges faced by underrepresented founders—especially women and people of color—in accessing capital. Scroobious aims to bridge the gap between these talented founders and a vast network of angel investors, tackling misconceptions about perceived risks associated with diverse entrepreneurs. Ralph shares his journey into angel investing, which was influenced by his father’s early investment education and his own entrepreneurial experiences. He emphasizes the importance of team dynamics, problem-solving relevance, and execution capabilities when assessing potential investments. Additionally, the discussion touches on the growing significance of AI in various sectors, especially financial services, indicating it as a transformative force for the future. Listeners will gain insights into investment philosophies, the role of mentorship for founders, and the influential strategies behind Scroobious’s mission of democratizing access to funding for innovative ideas.

Let’s be honest, we’re all just out here winging it and doing the best we can to live this thing called life. The older I get the more uncomfortable I am with pretending I have it altogether. I don’t and I’m ok with that. I lean on God and my squad to help navigate life nuances (heavy on the GOD) and have learned to ask questions when I simply don’t know. If you’re down, let’s explore, learn and grow through this thing called life together (heavy on the TOGETHER). Enjoy the podcast ;).

What's Your One Thing? (Accountability) | Ep. 6 14:51

for 3 years siden14:51

14:51

While accountability sounds like a great idea in theory, the ball will always be in our court to do the work. No one can move us beyond where we're willing to go. In this episode, I talk about the reality check my good friend Destynee gave me a few years ago when I asked her to be my accountability partner & how my husband REFUSES to take part in my "accountability" antics. #HeNeverTakesMeSeriously Lol. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/support…

It's been a minute, so let's not pretend I ain't been ghost for a whole year. I have no real excuse, insecurities, second guessing & inconsistency were the continued culprits of my hideout, but we're going to push through it and try this again -- I hope you'll still have me. If so, welcome back! Let's figure it out together. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/support…

This Election Got Us Trippin' | Ep. 3 25:17

for 5 years siden25:17

25:17

In this episode I discuss the mocking, the political division and challenge whether these faith filled views about voting in this election are even valid. I believe it's important to choose love over politics — especially in this climate, but y’all know I’m too bold to be quiet right? With ALL of the things I have to say about what's going on, I'm trying my best to walk in wisdom and choose love -- even if it means deactivating Facebook for the sake of peace. But you know me, I gotta talk about it and I do it all on this here episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/support…

Why It Gotta Be So Perfect? | Ep. 2 13:15

for 5 years siden13:15

13:15

IDK about you, but I have a HUGE problem with inconsistency and perfectionism. For me, they’re basically twins — with one comes the other and frankly, I’m sikka both of ‘em. They’ve caused so many of my dreams and ideas to die before they even get started. Do you struggle with perfectionism? How do you overcome it? Leave me a message at anchor.fm/idkletsfigureitout & let’s talk about it! We’ll play it on the next podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/support…

IDK How to Feel About the Breonna Taylor Verdict | Bonus 20:27

for 5 years siden20:27

20:27

After trying my best to process everything I was feeling about the Breonna Taylor verdict, being a black woman and the responses (or lack thereof), I honestly just woke up and pressed play. This episode is full of raw emotions about the heartbreaking reality of being black in America and my frustration with believers who either don't get it or ignore the need for justice in this country altogether. I don't know how to feel right now, but maybe we can figure out how to process this together. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idkletsfigureitout/support…
