Filling in for Elizabeth Gordon, who is consulting in Singapore, Peter Ashley joins regular show co-host Dana Barrett for a review of the business headlines and a lively discussion about crowd funding with The Ritz Group CEO Larry White.

The three dish about internet radio via the TuneIn App for Androids and iPhones, puzzle over deck chair hogs on Carnival Cruises, and come up with hottest new business idea this side of Legoland.

Then they get serious and talk about crowd funding… what it is, who it works for, and how it works in concert with more traditional funding methods. Larry shares how a start-up that has proven they have an interesting concept by raising money through crowd funding is going to be that much more attractive to an angel investor, or venture capital group that they may meet through an organization like The Ritz Group.
