In this episode of the Innovators and Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Amar Bakshi, founder of Shared Studios and Noro, to explore how Amar’s visionary work is redefining human connection through immersive technology. Amar shares the evolution from his original art project, which connected strangers worldwide via life-size video portals installed in locations from New York to Tehran, refugee camps, and universities, to creating Noro’s cutting-edge video conferencing solutions that bridge the gap between virtual meetings and face-to-face interaction. They discuss the inspiration behind his projects, including his personal experiences as a journalist and his grandmother’s story of displacement, highlighting the emotional and cultural impact of authentic human connection. Amar explains the challenges of building a global network in complex political environments, the importance of community-led curation, and leveraging technology to enable deeper trust and collaboration beyond traditional video calls like Zoom. The conversation also covers insights into building company culture, navigating the transition from art to business, raising capital, and how AI and future tech innovations could enhance multilingual communication and intimacy in virtual settings. Amar closes by sharing lessons learned as a founder about balancing commitment with perspective and fostering inclusive, purpose-driven teams. This episode provides a thoughtful look at how technology can create meaningful, serendipitous human connections across borders and industries.

Julie Seabaugh! Journalist! Author! Producer! Friend! Delight! More! Long-time comedy journalist Julie Seabaugh is the producer, story editor and originator of Are We Good? , the new documentary about comic and podcast pioneer Marc Maron that makes its East Coast premiere at the Tribeca June 14 and 15. She is a journalist , author and documentarian who has covered stand-up and the ins-and-outs of the comedy industry for more than 20 years. More about Julie Seabaugh and the new doc: After covering Marc Maron many times in major news outlets, she was struck by his loss and honesty when his partner Lynn Shelton died unexpectedly in 2020. Seabaugh says the continuing Instagram videos voicing his grief was some of “the most touching stuff I’d ever seen publicly coming from a comedian,” and she knew the next stand-up material he created would be the most powerful he’d done to date and that someone ought to be documenting the next period in his life and career. She quickly realized that someone was her, and she sprung into action. She produced the first Are We Good? shoot on May 7, 2021 at the Comedy Store, the night of Maron’s first time back on stage since the start of the Covid pandemic. Julie Seabaugh produced and hosted 2020’s Hope on Top: A Mitch Hedberg Oral History for SiriusXM and with Emmy-nominated filmmaker Nick Scown directed September 2021 feature documentary Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11 for Vice. Her film Are We Good? A Marc Maron Documentary made its world premiere in March 2025 at SXSW. A documentary on legendary performer Mitch Hedberg will debut in 2026. As a professional comedy journalist for more than two decades, Seabaugh covered the art form for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, GQ and numerous other titles. Her expertise on modern roasting culminated in 2018 book Ringside at Roast Battle . 2022’s 50 Years of the Comedy Store vinyl box set features her liner notes. With comedian Byron Bowers, the memoir Beyond the Promised Land is out from Grand Central Publishing in summer 2026. Julie Seabaugh online: Journalism Films/Books Are We Good?

Mike Cachuela ! Artist! Filmmaker! Animator! Director! Storyteller! Friend! Delight! More! Mike being on the show started with his sending me this message: "In listening to your podcast, I’m struck by the similarities, between stand-up comedians and story artists in animated films, in working out material on peers and sometimes audiences. In animation you draw and edit storyboards and temp dialog to hone in on something funny. Eliminating the clunky bits and hopefully having a tight presentation by the time the movie is finished. There are usually many iterations to get to the good stuff." "Thanks for your investigations into how creators create and then engineer delivery. I’m developing a Podcast called The Prisoner’s Dilemma . About striking a balance between the passion for one’s art or craft … and paying the rent." That began a conversation that culminated (so far) in the podcast you see (hear) before you now! And this is only the first HALF of our conversation.

Shanna Christmas ! Comedian! Writer! Actor! Producer! Shanna has a new special out right now called Highly Intelligent (watch there or listen as an audio album wherever you find your comedy albums!) and here is the official information about it: "Comedian, writer, and proud Las Vegas native Shanna Christmas is bringing the heat—and the heart—with her bold new comedy special. One hour of machine-gun punchlines and razor-sharp observations unpacking the horrors of working in healthcare, losing a parent to dementia, the struggles of being tall, and surviving sexual assault in the comedy scene Shot live at an intimate jazz club in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, the special captures Shanna Christmas doing what she does best: making people laugh so hard they forget they’re in a dark room with strangers. With machine-gun punchlines, razor- sharp observations, and stories that swing from wild to wicked, Shanna invites audiences into a world that’s as smart as it is side-splitting. But this special isn’t just jokes. In a stunning final turn, Shanna peels back the curtain to share a deeply personal, gut-wrenching story of surviving sexual assault. The room, once roaring with laughter, falls into a reverent, electric silence as she bravely reframes her trauma through the lens of resilience, truth, and yes—even humor. 'I wanted to make a special that felt like me,' Shanna says. 'Loud, fast, honest, funny—but also full of real life. Because comedy is how I take my power back. And I want people to feel theirs, too.' Filmed in the city where she grew up, Highly Intelligent is more than just a comedy special; it’s a homecoming. And a reckoning. And a celebration of what it means to be funny, fearless, and female in today’s world. The special is directed by Michael Malone, an award-winning filmmaker and comedian whose credits include Comedy Central, Showtime, and FOX. A veteran of the industry, Michael currently leads the creative team at Brad Garrett Presents, the comedy production division of Brad Garrett’s Entertainment. Through his own company, Glass Hammer Productions, he has directed over a dozen stand-up specials and three acclaimed comedy documentaries." And here is more official information about Shanna: "Shanna Christmas was born and raised in Las Vegas. She is a stand up comedian, writer (Reductress, Insider), actor and producer who stands at 6’3’’ and played volleyball in college, despite much protest. Her comedy style has been described as 'Edgy/Classy' as she finds ways to speak about complicated issues that can offend, but she’s so charming that you can’t be mad at her. Shanna has performed across North America, including Montreal and Edmonton in Canada. You can see her on Season 10 of 'Coming To The Stage' on Pluto TV. She has appeared in comedy festivals including the 208 Festival, Altercation Festival, Black Girl Giggles, Black Women In Comedy Festival (NY). She was Devil Cup Comedy Festiva Winner in 2018 and a finalist in the inaugural ABFF Comedy Fest in 2021. In addition to producing successful all black women stand up shows, Shanna Christmas was also a co-host of the 'Topical Smoothie' podcast. In 2021, She self published a comic book about her life as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in nursing homes , and she can also be seen in a short film called, Dark Wolf Gang produced by the American Film Institute."

About "Greg in LA": "Greg in L.A." originally began as a series on Instagram, where it quickly garnered a dedicated following thanks to its relatable humor and authentic storytelling. The creators, Sean Daniel Cunningham and Gregory Lay, captured the ups and downs of modern life in a way that resonated with viewers, leading to organic growth across social media. It was during this rise that the founders of 800 Pound Gorilla Media discovered the series, captivated by its charm and potential. Recognizing the opportunity to bring the beloved show to a wider audience, they approached Cunningham and Lay to produce a new season, marking an exciting new chapter for "Greg in L.A." as it transitions from social media to scripted content on their platforms. Says Damion Greiman, co-founder of 800 Pound Gorilla Media: “We discovered Greg in L.A. on Instagram, and were immediately drawn to its quirky charm, heartwarming moments, and relatable humor. After speaking with producers Gregory Lay and Sean Cunningham, we realized they not only shared our vision for creating high-quality, hilarious content on a budget, but also had a strong desire to incorporate comedians into their show, making it the perfect choice for our first scripted project.” Created by Sean Daniel Cunningham and Gregory Lay, "Greg in L.A." follows the life of Greg, whose world is turned upside down when his wife unexpectedly leaves him and he loses his job—all within a single tumultuous week. As he navigates the vibrant yet bewildering landscape of Los Angeles, Greg finds solace in his loyal dog, Winston. Their occasional existential chats provide humor and depth to Greg's journey through awkward job interviews, dating misadventures, and the eclectic characters he meets along the way. Blending laughter with heartfelt moments, "Greg in L.A." captures the essence of self-discovery and the quest for connection in a rapidly changing world. With its unique blend of comedy and poignant storytelling, this series resonates with anyone searching for meaning in unexpected places.

Daniel Van Kirk! Comedian! Actor! Writer! Podcast host! Friend! Delight! Guy with a new special out now called Rose Gold ! ABOUT ROSE GOLD: Rose Gold is a Midwestern man’s wish that we all stop finding ways to disagree, start high-fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments the assumptions we make about his shaved-head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldn’t be treated kindly, and teaches us how to have a fight while also putting some goodness into this world. He draws from his youth in Rochelle, IL, his formative years in Chicago, and his time spent at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Resort. Rose Gold is named for Daniel’s grandmother Rosemary, who at 94 years old is a living example of what it means to just roll with whatever life throws at you. Says Dainiel “We live in a time of generational divides and hell, the people who are running our country are extremely old. But a section of this hour is about how old people still have to live in this current time and for me, Rosemary is a shining example of that.” The process of creating this hour was a search for commonality. Rose Gold is an hour of comedy for everyone who simply wants to have a good time again. ABOUT DANIEL VAN KIRK: Daniel Van Kirk is a stand-up comedian whose comedy has charted at #1 on Apple Music. He’s been named a “Comic To Watch” by Comedy Central as well as one of JFL’s 42 in Toronto. You may know him from his characters on Bob’s Burgers (FOX), Physical (Apple TV+), Central Park (Apple TV+), and the lead in the feature film, Wine Club (Prime). Daniel can also be heard every week on the hit podcasts, Pen Pals with partner Rory Scovel, and co-hosting Dumb People Town along with The Sklar Brothers. ABOUT THIS PODCAST: You can listen to it!

Jokes with a G is a collection of self-deprecating stories about being a new parent, second weddings, and his dad’s drunk late-night calls. The album was recorded at The Comedy Fort in Fort Collins (a wondeful club, I'll add from my own [Myq Kaplan's] mouth)! And here's some more information about Geoff: Geoff Tice is a Denver-based comedian, writer, podcaster, actor, and artist. Geoff got into comedy while working full-time in graphic design 12 years ago. He went to an open mic and bombed but he never looked back. He has since become a staple of the Denver scene. He is a regular at the world-famous Comedy Works and has toured his energetic stand-up comedy across the country. Geoff hosted Comedy Central’s South Park 25th Anniversary Tailgate two-day event at Red Rocks and performed at SF Sketchfest, High Plains Comedy Festival, Red Clay and Limestone, and other festivals.

Laura Merli! Comedian! Delight! Human with a new standup special out now! ABOUT THE NEW SPECIAL WHICH IS ALSO HER DEBUT SPECIAL, " BELLY SLAPPIN' FUN! " After cutting her teeth for 8 years in the indie comedy scene, Brooklyn comedy-favorite Laura Merli has amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok. Laura specializes in set-up/punch-line jokes and one-liners rather than storytelling, in the vein of her influences Mitch Hedberg and Maria Bamford, although Laura adds her own distinctive and unique flavor. This style lets her cover A LOT of ground: drugs, sex, family/childhood, her ADHD/autism, and her dog. While the jokes emanate from a wide array of departure points, the humor centers around the awkwardness and absurdity of being alive. Laura’s delivery is distinctive as well - people describe her voice as deadpan but she promises she is being very expressive! Since childhood Merli has been enamored with acting and writing. Although to Merli, improv initially seemed like “paying to embarrass yourself”, she finally followed the lead of some friends and tried classes at ImprovAsylum. She had a great experience and ended up obsessed, but was still wanting the ability to write before stepping onto the stage. Realizing this pointed toward stand-up, Laura got her start at a friend’s variety show called “What Else You Gonna Do Wednesday Night” and never looked back! Merli has taken her art and career in her own hands, refining her material all around NYC, and on the road via The Awkward Route Tour with fellow stand up Freddy G (Sirius XM, NPR). With comedy well-suited to the TikTok format, Belly Slappin’ Fun is eagerly anticipated by her large online following who, along with fans-to-be will get their dose of Belly Slappin’ Fun on July 18! ABOUT LAURA MERLI: Laura Merli is an NYC-based standup, actress, and writer. She amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok, was “passed” at New York Comedy Club, has headlined the “Don't Tell” and “Modelface” comedy shows, and appeared at the New York Comedy festival as well as the Women in Comedy Festival. Every third Thursday, she hosts the Good Girl stand up show at Friends & Lovers, one of the hottest alt-comedy spots in Brooklyn. She has performed at top-tier venues across the city including The Bell House, Littlefield, Caveat, and more. As someone who didn’t start comedy until their late 20s, Laura has held a wide variety of odd jobs including cashier, ebay store photographer, project manager, zombie in an escape room, business analyst, and carnival worker (her grandparents family business). She has since written for and acted on sketch house teams at the PIT and Improv Boston as well as Reductress, The Hard Times, and McSweeney’s. Merli has hosted/written/produced videos for the female-focused humor brand Cheezcake. ABOUT THIS PODCAST!: You can listen to it! We had a great chat! You can have a great listen!

Also, Darren said this to me: "don't be shy about saying that you having me on doesn't imply any kind of endorsement by you. I mean obviously you CAN endorse the campaign if you want to but I know yours is not a political podcast and with polarization being what it is, I wouldn't want you getting any grief." He is a kind man and as such, with whatever power I have as a podcaster and comedian and human, I DO endorse him! And I endorse listening to our chat! It's a lot of fun.

Emily Catalano! Comedian! Friend! Delight! More! She's got a new album out right now called "Hey." You can get it here! And here's some more information about it and Emily: Blonde Medicine is excited to announce the debut comedy album release from Emily Catalano, Hey., out now wherever comedy is streamed or sold, available for purchase on vinyl and coming out in a Dolby Atmos Version as well. Recorded live at the San Francisco Punch Line, the venue where she truly began her comedy journey, Emily Catalano’s Hey. showcases her laid back style and sharp writing. On this debut album you’ll hear about Emily’s upbringing as a tomboy with 3 brothers, her religious parents’ reaction when she came out as agnostic, and a both poignant and epic tale involving a loved one’s ashes. Said Emily Catalano, “my debut album serves as a compilation of my best material to date, drawing from my experiences with marriage, divorce, dating, and religion. It's densely packed with jokes rooted in my personal life. Think of it as a therapy session, but with more laughs and less co-pays.” Emily Catalano is a Los Angeles-based comedian who made her late night stand-up debut on CONAN and has since garnered attention with her viral stand-up clips circulating on social media. Known for her quick wit and dry humor, Emily's talent for crafting jokes out of everyday situations has garnered attention from Time Out LA, who named her a "Comic to Watch." Her deadpan delivery adds an extra layer of hilarity to her comedy, making her a standout in the comedy scene. We have a great chat! You can have a great listen! Enjoy!

Sarah Hester Ross! Comedian! Musician! Comedy Musician! Musical Comedian! Friend! Delight! More! Sarah's debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe is called “Sarah Hester Ross Is What?” Venue: Just The Tonic - Nucleus - Atomic Address: 140 Pleasance, Edinburgh EHB 9RR Time: All shows at 2:30pm / 14:30Show Dates: Aug 2-4, 7, 9-11, 14, 16-18 See her in Scotland if you can this August! (2024!) And her special, available worldwide (or even in space probably) is called "Don’t Mess With A Redhead." ABOUT "DON'T MESS WITH A REDHEAD": Sarah invites you into the life of a TikTok-famous woman who doesn’t want babies and leads the “stop giving men microphones” movement. Don’t Mess With A Redhead, her hilarious debut special, serves as an introduction to a multi-talented comedian and musician best known for her 2.4 million social media followers and lovers of Florida Man Friday, who will be the first to tell you she aims to be the “next Bette Midler”. Hester Ross is aware that musical comedy is not everyone’s cup of tea, but she effectively utilizes music to help audiences to stomach some very serious topics. “A spoonful of music helps the discussion of women’s rights (or lack thereof) go down. The music is niche but the topics aren’t and I feel that’s what makes it special”, says Sarah. Originally from Tampa, Florida but currently Las Vegas-based, Sarah has been performing professionally since age 11, when she got her start as a member of a show at Busch Gardens. Later, while performing at a piano bar in Orlando where people request top 40 songs and she would play them on the spot, a colleague told her “you’re funny, you should go learn the gig properly somewhere else, your talents won’t be used here”. So she did, packing her possessions into her car and moving to Vegas where she started working the piano bar circuit. The pandemic forced Sarah offstage and online, where her musical comedy hit on a larger scale, quickly building a sizable online following. This led to a post-pandemic three-month Vegas residency where she developed the hour, which she honed further by taking it on the road. The result is Don’t Mess With A Redhead. Sarah admits “...it blew my mind that people would buy tickets to see me. Just me. It changed my whole perspective of what I wanted to do with my career.” While her mind may have been blown by the well-deserved audience attention, we believe audience minds will be similarly blown by Don’t Mess With A Redhead. ABOUT SARAH HESTER ROSS: Sarah Hester Ross is a musical comedian from Las Vegas. Hester Ross is a one-of-a-kind entertainer, social media star, winner of the “Best Of Las Vegas” comedian and one-women show. She has been featured on America’s Got Talent and The Doctor Demento Show and her music has earned more than 15 million worldwide streams, and counting. Sarah presents a formidable combination of musical and theatrical talents that has earned her an auspicious entry into the comedy performing world, as well as 2.4M followers on TikTok and over 260K on Instagram. Her good-natured, comedic exuberance, both on and off stage, has earned her the moniker of “The Hilarious Redhead!“ We have a delightful chat. You can have a delightful listen!

Sean Keane! Comedian! Writer! Podcaster! Friend! Delight! More! Sean is a funny friend and a great comedian with a new standup album out (his debut!) RIGHT NOW! It's called " America's Uncle Dad " and here's some more info about it! ABOUT AMERICA'S UNCLE DAD: Sean Keane is a Bay Area native, and America’s Uncle Dad is very much a Bay Area album. It was recorded at the Punch Line in San Francisco and everyone the world over can relate to Sean’s lampooning of mass transit, (white) yoga culture, psychedelics, growing up with an adorable lisp, and a truly riotous take-down of a Simon and Garfunkel classic that we promise will forever change how you hear the song. Keane grew up in the East Bay and moved to San Francisco. He started putting on stand-up shows in college at Berkeley, where he was the editor-in-chief of the campus humor magazine, The Heuristic Squelch. He currently lives in Oakland with his fiancé and their Aussie doodle puppy, Pinot Noir. Sean began doing stand-up himself in 2005 when he “...stopped just writing funny things for the internet or magazines and started actually saying them into a microphone in public…it turns out you start doing stand-up comedy by just doing stand-up comedy”. We’re certainly glad he did, and the material he has crafted and honed since then makes America’s Uncle Dad a remarkable and hilarious debut, and Sean is sure to be your favorite of all your relatives. MORE ABOUT SEAN KEANE: Sean Keane is a writer, stand-up comedian and co-host of the Roundball Rock NBA podcast. He has contributed to "Another Period," "Billy On The Street," NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN The Magazine and McSweeney's. In 2014, the SF Bay Guardian named him the best comedian in San Francisco, then immediately went out of business. We had a great chat! You can have a great listen!
