This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: the Podcast” is with Ross Larson, a software engineer with Madison-based Paradigm and board member for Forward Festival. He previews this year’s event series, which focuses on Wisconsin’s tech sector and entrepreneurs with more than 50 individual events held Aug. 17-21 in the Madison area. “It’s made by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs,” Larson said, noting the events include “bringing together people, networking, hands-on learning, conversations, workshops, making connections. “There’s a wide variety of different subjects, because every entrepreneur is different and so not every entrepreneur’s needs are going to be the same,” Larson said. As part of Forward Festival, WisPolitics is holding an Aug. 19 luncheon at the Madison Club, featuring a conversation with WEDC Secretary and CEO John Miller.
