Venture Capitalist Ross Barrett sits down with Jeffrey Goodman, Director of Marketing and Development for the YMCA of Northwest Louisiana, to answer the following questions:

0:36 1. Ross, you’re a venture capitalist. Let’s start here today. For the lay people out there, and I put myself in that group, could you explain what venture capital is and how you got into the space to begin with?

26:06 2. You are involved in multiple companies. I want to give people a sense of your work and world by focusing on a couple of them. Can we start with you telling me about Esperance Pharmaceuticals?

35:53 3. Now let’s shift to another company where you are deeply involved. Can you tell me about the Cancer Focus Fund?

47:06 4. My last formal question is - talk to me some about why someone like you with a global reach would want to continue to remain in and call Shreveport home.
