JUNETEENTH 2023 - Part IIn honor of Juneteenth and the 3rd anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, we thought we'd do something a little different this month. Back in June 2020, we did two episodes with black men and black women founders, capturing their raw thoughts, emotions, and insights at the time. These were two of our most popular episodes of all time. And the sentiments shared, and vulnerability shared are as powerful today as they were then.This is part I, with me moderating a panel of black men founders: Kahlil Ashanti, Bara Cola, AK Ikwuakor, and Claudius Mbemba. In some ways, that time in 2020 was a catalyst for progress. Unfortunately though - with an extended pandemic, a tough economy, and frankly the passage of time – we have not seen enough continued focus, and a loss of priority. One thing that history teaches us…its that where society's gaze lands, progress and achievement follow. The founders from these episodes certainly show a representative slice of the founder journey. Some have startups that are prospering with investment capital. Some have pivoted. And some have sunset. But all of these founders remain wise and fierce.Take time to ponder on what you hear...In this throwback episode from June 2020, we discussed:How it feels to be a black man in America (June 2020)What it's like to be a black entrepreneur in the midst of two American crisesWhat steps are they taking, in light of the protests, George Floyd, and their own mental healthRecommendations for others, including alliesAudience References:AK's PostBara's PostClaudius' PostDan's PostFollow Founders Unfound : Like and share - help us grow.PODCAST TRANSCRIPT Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, both our storytellers share stories about the science-y side of sports and physical recreation. Part 1: Daniel Engber risks derailing his PhD by constant daydreaming, until his neuroscience research gives him an idea that will revolutionize the NBA. Part 2: Doomed to be the waterboy after tearing his ACL, engineering student Baratunde Cola is determined to make it back to his college's football team. Daniel Engber is a columnist for Slate.com and Popular Science, and a regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine. He has appeared on Radiolab, All Things Considered and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and received the National Academies of Science Communication Award in 2012 and the Sex-Positive Journalism Award in 2008. His work has been anthologized in The Best of Technology Writing and The Best of Slate. Bara Cola is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Georgia Tech, and founder and president of Carbice Nanotechnologies, Inc. He researches thermal transport and energy conversion in nanostructured materials, and is actively involved in the commercialization of his work, currently to cool electronics better. His work in nanotechnology, energy, and outreach to high school art and science teachers and students has been recognized with awards from President Obama and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He played college football when he was younger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

SPECIAL EPISODE! OUR 3RD ANNIVERSARY

Materials companies are not generally the first industry that comes to mind when you think about venture capital darlings. But don't tell that to Carbice founder, Bara Cola. Hear Bara describe the unique ways that Carbice has leveraged carbon nanotubes to create a material that sounds almost magical in its potential to serve customers in industries like semiconductors, automotive, and space travel.   Carbice recently raised a round of funding that sets them on a path to scale production and capitalize on years of research, an impressive collection of patents, and demand from customers in a variety of industries. Current success aside, the story of Carbice has actually been a story of overcoming hardship. For any entrepreneurs out there looking for a masterclass in perseverance, Bara would make a good coach. Tune in to discover the several times when Bara and Carbice could have easily given up. That cauldron has helped make Bara and Carbice what they are today.

On this show, we’re always looking to find entrepreneurs that have built new and innovative brands in the city. We’ve had guests from a multitude of fields and this week we’re diving deeper into the tech industry. Dr. Bara Cola is a professor of mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech and the founder and CEO of Carbice. Carbice is a materials solution company -- producing Carbice Carbon, which helps to lower temperatures within devices from space satellites to laptops. We sit down with Dr. Cola today to talk about his journey from playing Division 1 football at Vanderbilt to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech and why he felt Atlanta was the best place to grow his company! If you’re interested in learning more about Carbice and the products they’re producing, you can find them online at www.carbice.com.

In this episode Dan has a great conversation with Bara Cola, founder and CEO of Carbice. Bara's startup is revolutionizing the new standard for thermal cooling in the global electronics market. What does this mean to you and me?We are surrounded by a global infrastructure - from power plants and satellites to your Amazon Echo - that is powered by electronics. Electronics generate heat. If they kick out too much, well, then they shut down or at least slow down. Carbice's magic material manages the heat better - so full performance can be realized. Bara makes the case that everything from Arab Spring to high end gaming is all made possible by better thermal management.Listen in to hear how and why!Notable Interview Highlights(02:42) EVERYTHING that generates heat must regulate it (06:14) Carbice has invented the first new cooling material class in 100 years!(12:58) Bara connects thermal management to the Arab Spring(14:56) Bara talks Carbice's current traction(19:44) Homebase: the choice between Atlanta and Silicon Valley(21:22) Closing a lead investor on a Sunday afternoon walk around the neighborhood (26:00) Growing up in Pensacola, Florida...AKA "lower Alabama"(31:28) Early entrepreneurial aspirations(32:35) Meeting President Obama at the White House(37:44) What Bara considers the most important skill(40:41) Bara gives advice to his 22-year-old self(42:31) Important mentors(44:02) props to TechSquare Labs - Paul Judge and Allen NanceCheck out more about Carbice: carbice.com, @carbice, @baratundecola See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bara Cola makes an encore appearance on the podcast to chat about Carbice, a company he founded to commercialize next generation heat transfer materials for cooling electronic devices. We discuss the value and challenge of maintaining business relationships, how competition from abroad is changing the playing field for technology start-ups, and the excitement surrounding a number of carbon nanotube-based products now making their way to the market.Show details: • Hosted and edited by Michael Filler (@michaelfiller) • Recorded on January 26, 2017 • Show notes are available at http://www.fillerlab.com/nanovation/archive/27 • Submit feedback at http://www.fillerlab.com/nanovation/feedback

Today's guest is Bara Cola, an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. Once a walk-on college football player, Bara currently runs the NEST lab and is a world expert on the use of carbon nanotubes (and related materials) in thermal technologies. He joined me to talk about the history of carbon nanotubes, their uses, and the special place they hold in our hearts.Show details: • Hosted and edited by Michael Filler (@michaelfiller) • Recorded on January 15, 2016 • Show notes are available at http://www.fillerlab.com/nanovation/archive/2 • Submit feedback at http://www.fillerlab.com/nanovation/feedback
