Doug Campbell, an Albuquerque native, has launched the "Leaders of Enchantment" podcast to inspire New Mexico's growth by featuring influential leaders and their stories. Campbell earned bachelor's and master's degrees in civil engineering from UNM and then moved to Colorado, where he built and sold two successful companies: Roccor, LLC, and Solid Power Inc. After Solid Power's IPO, he returned to Albuquerque, contributing to the local start-up ecosystem and the UNM community. "After being gone for 20 years, it was disheartening to see how stagnant the growth is in New Mexico compared to Colorado," Campbell said. "I’ve decided to use my talents to help New Mexico thrive."

    EP 35 - WARD HENDON

    Ward Hendon is an investor, teacher, and entrepreneur whose career has followed a deliberately unconventional path. He began in legal practice before founding and exiting a pioneering tech-enabled legal services company, then shifted into teaching MBA students, law students, and incarcerated individuals. Along the way, Ward has invested in emerging businesses, served on boards, and mentored entrepreneurs and CEOs navigating growth and transition. Ward is a Partner at Dangerous Ventures, where he backs companies building a more sustainable and resilient future. The firm is rooted in the belief that the world’s most existential challenges represent an opportunity to build the next generation of enduring businesses—ones that empower both people and planet to thrive. His work has led him to a place of thoughtful contradiction—deeply hopeful about what’s possible, while holding real concern for the future of our planet and the people on it. Today, Ward is involved in a small but intentional ecosystem focused on accelerating technology and business-model solutions to critical social and environmental challenges. While he doesn’t believe business or technology alone will solve these problems, he sees them as powerful tools for sustaining habitability—and as vehicles for meaningful collaboration, learning, and impact. Outside of work, Ward is happiest outdoors, usually with kids in tow, a backpack on his shoulders, and the essential ingredients for a proper campfire: sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers, and plenty of chocolate.

He is President of New Mexico Angels and a General Partner in the NM Vintage Fund — now the state’s most active venture fund — where he helps catalyze millions in investment each year into local startups and high-growth companies. Drew is perhaps best known for serving as the first CFO of Meow Wolf, the New Mexico B Corp that transformed immersive art on a global scale.

Drew holds an MBA in Marketing and Finance from the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, and a BA, Cum Laude, in History and International Relations from Washington University in St. Louis. When he’s not working with founders or investors, you can find Drew playing ultimate frisbee anywhere he can, learning tennis, hiking until he’s lost, trying foods he can't identify, and enjoying bad puns far more than he should.

    EP 33 - AKILAH MARTINEZ

    Akilah, also known as Glittering World Girl, is an artist, technologist, and cultural bearer from the Navajo Nation. Her creative path began early, watching her grandparents—unilingual Navajo speakers—left with television programming only available in English. That moment sparked her lifelong commitment to create media that honors Indigenous ways of life and preserves Native cultures and languages. Her work centers on community-based media, blending modern technology with circular Indigenous-based social entrepreneurship. Akilah is known for producing Navajo-language videos, radio ads, and musical features in Diné bizaad, using creative storytelling to spark dialogue and strengthen connection across community, art, and technology. Akilah’s artistic practice often explores Indigenous futurism, weaving Navajo superheroes, traditional foods, and pop-culture elements into augmented reality (AR) experiences. She holds a BFA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico with a focus in electronic and emerging XR technologies. Her interactive oscillator shoes were showcased at FATE Biennial 2013. She later spent five years living primarily on the Navajo reservation working in language-preservation media. In 2019, Akilah received an Immersive Technology Fellowship with XR company Crux, splitting time between New York City and Los Angeles to learn from leading XR creators. She went on to graduate at the top of a Cultivating Coders cohort and, in 2022, earned funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation / 516 ARTS Fulcrum Fund for her third AR project. Akilah’s guiding belief: “We are part of Creator, therefore we were given the ability to create… Through imagination and the ability to select from infinite potential, we’re able to externalize abundance and create new realities for our people.” Project – Natives In Tech Akilah’s LIFT project, Natives In Tech, is a series of AR environments redefining how contemporary Indigenous art shows up in museums, galleries, and entertainment spaces. Built for Indigenous social media users and young creators, the project offers a playful, culturally rich digital interface that lets users Indigenize their surroundings in real time.
