Podcast appearances and mentions of David Cowan

The inter-war period (1918–1939) is still remembered as a period of mass deprivation – the 'hungry thirties'. But how did this impression emerge? Thousands of conversations about life in the inter-war period – between parents and children around the dinner table; among workmates at the pub – shaped these understandings. In turn, these fed into popular politics. Stories about the embryonic welfare system in the early-twentieth century informed how people felt towards the National Health Service; memories of the Great Depression shaped arguments about state intervention in the economy. Challenging accounts of widespread political disengagement in the twentieth century, Politics of the Past: Inter-war Memories and the Making of British Popular Politics, 1939–2000 (Cambridge University Press, 2024) by Dr. David Cowan shows how re-telling family stories about the inter-war period offered ordinary people an accessible way of engaging in politics. Drawing on six local case studies across Scotland and England, this book explains how stories about the inter-war working-class experience in industrial areas came to appear commonplace nationwide. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Brian talks about the opportunity to scale his impact, interacting with numerous legal departments worldwide. He loves the scope of his role today interacting with hundreds of legal ops teams "I get to talk to them about ‘what do they do with training?' What are they doing with technology? What are they doing with data?"   (10:09) Seeking Talent and Adapting to Changes. In his current role, Brian looks for evolving attributes in potential hires, including a solid understanding of AI and regulatory issues. He advises on maintaining curiosity and adaptability: "You at least have to have an idea of what AI is doing... so that you're ready to learn and hit the ground running."   (12:39) Continuous Learning and Radical Curiosity. Brian offers advice on professional growth and learning, advocating for the consumption of media in forms that best suit individual preferences, whether podcasts, videos, or books. He stresses the importance of staying updated and adaptable, especially with emerging technologies like AI and regulatory changes in the legal and tech industries. "Find the things you like because all of those streams have valuable things for you right now."   (16:09) Daily Routine of an Executive Director.

His schedule is packed with meetings, client interactions, and strategic planning, all aimed at enhancing service delivery and customer engagement at Metrotech. He also emphasizes the importance of family time, particularly attending his son's baseball games. "When I'm working from home, like I am today, I probably have 12-15 meetings a day."   (20:29) Musical Inspirations: U2 and Personal Favorites Brian shares his musical preferences, giving a breakdown of his Spotify usage data: Billy Joel, Def Leopard, The Pogues, and  revealing U2 as his top choice among bands, with "So Cruel" standing out as his favorite song.

Industrial breweries were very different places 45 years ago. Today's guest knows all about just how different because he spent the early part of his career working in one of London's most legendary ones... The Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, East London. David Cowan is retired now. I met him a few months back on a tour of Palmers Brewery in Dorset. We reminisce about that tour, then get cracking on a trip down (Brick) Memory Lane. David was a young graduate microbiologist when he walked into the famous Truman Brewery (where there were no other scientists). His stories are brilliant. From stone and metal steps awash with wort, to the generous staff beer ration and the scary reason why you had to be very careful going into some rooms alone. But the most fascinating story is something of a whodunnit. A mystery that only a smart young scientist could solve, and when he eventually did, it made a huge difference to the output of one of the UK's most important breweries. This episode was fascinating to record and a great listen. Enjoy.

David Cowan, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, believes in a proactive investment approach. Unlike other VCs, David doesn't let the deal flow dictate where to invest. Instead, like other partners at Bessemer Venture Partner, he delves into research, attends conferences, and talks to experts on the bleeding edge of innovation to identify where there are new opportunities to make a difference in the world. With his investments, he has set his sights on big, future-defining topics such as climate change, quantum computing, space, sustainable agriculture, and cybersecurity. And as of a few weeks ago, 34 of those companies have reached IPO. Special co-host Marc Zablatsky, Managing Director of the CFO Practice at Burkland, joins the show to chat with David about his investment philosophy and what he's seeing in the startup landscape.  We discuss: The growing collaboration between governments and startups The immense power and potential applications of quantum computing 7 areas of innovation to combat climate change A uniquely proactive approach to investment David's new mockumentary Bubble Proof This discussion with David Cowan was taken from our show Startup Success.

We continue our Oceans/Urban waterways series with those in between waters that all of us come into contact with constantly all day, everyday. Groundwater and public utilities water. Groundwater will normally look clear and clean because the ground naturally filters out particulate matter. However, human induced chemicals can be found in groundwater. Industrial discharges, urban activities, agriculture and disposal of waste all can affect groundwater quality. Why do we need to save or conserve water? Clean, fresh water is a limited resource. With all the severe droughts happening in the world, the limited supply of fresh water is becoming one of our most precious resources. Conserving water is important because it keeps water pure and clean while protecting the environment. Many believe that our water supply infinite. However, our supply is quite the opposite. It is important that we must not pollute your water as many do not realize just how important and scarce water is. To discuss this all-important topic is Helen Dulac of the Water Resources & Public Education Manager at North Texas Municipal Water District. David Cowan, the Watershed Manager for the North Texas Municipal Water District and Dr. Rosario Sanchez, a Senior Research Scientist at the Texas Water Resources Institute at Texas A&M. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

David Cowan had a skilled career in geographic information systems — linking data to maps, when he thought he'd try his hand at financial services. Instead of making more money, he made none. Hard times quickly followed. In his early fifties, David found himself without a car, renting a single room to live in, and walking to a nearby McDonald's where he worked the drive-thru window overnight.  “You just can't give up on yourself,” David tells host and award-winning journalist Dean Rotbart. This week, Dean and Monday Morning Radio debut The Comeback Project, an occasional series of profiles featuring great global comeback stories.  Rallying from misfortune — be it financial, health, a relationship gone bad, a natural disaster, a violent crime, or any other variety of setbacks — may seem impossible in the moment. But as David's story demonstrates, it is possible to rebound from the depths of despair and inspire others to do likewise. Do you have your own comeback story to tell or do you know someone — a family member, friend, colleague, or neighbor — who rebounded after a major setback and can serve as an example to others? Please send any leads for our Monday Morning Radiol Comeback Project to editor@shareyourcomeback.com.

In this episode expert Karen Kinsella from The National Groundwater Association and GZA GeoEnvironmental will speak to listeners about groundwater pollution; and experts Denise Hickey and David Cowan from North Texas Municipal Water District will explore water conservation. Groundwater is one of our most valuable resources, and while we may not see if everyday, we can’t forget about, it’s always there, beneath the surface, giving us and our earth life. Groundwater is polluted by incorrectly used fertilizers and pesticides, septic pollution, chemical spills, & even polluted surface water. The most common groundwater pollutant is Perchloroethylene which can cause anything from skin irritation, all the way to cancer. To personally reduce pollution, make sure you have licensed professionals install your septic and dispose of your waste properly. Water conservation is Texas, and of course around the world is essential. In Texas, surface water belongs to the state, while groundwater belongs to individual landowners, and so the municipal water district and individuals must come together to preserve and protect the finite resource of water. To conserve water, garden and water your land properly, make sure your swimming pools don’t have leaks, shorten your showers and start talking about water with your children and community. Visit https://www.ntmwd.com/ for updates on clean and safe drinking water in Texas, during a time where water is so essential. Make sure you’re staying hydrated and washing your hands.

Today we publish part two of the interview with Chris Farmer of Signal Fire Ventures. In this segment we address: Why he's using Beacon to make VC investments when their are numerous other applications that may have more economic value How he's created an engaged, active advisor network that are also LPs in the fund What characteristics the best advisors share Chris' thoughts on the surge in micros VCs and how that has impacted the asset class Chris' advice for founders raising initial capital Wrap-up of Key Takeaways & a Tip of the Week Guest Links: Signal Fire Ventures Chris on Twitter Signal Fire on Twitter Techcrunch Article:  Watch Out, VCs: Chris Farmer Plans To Massively Disrupt The Industry Part 1 of the interview w/ Chris Key Takeaways: 1- Deconstructing Beacon   Beacon is a connected platform that starts w/ sourcing but also does monitoring, context, diligence, syndication and most importanty, per Chris, portfolio support.  It's a data platform that looks like a Bloomberg terminal for the startup industry.  They started building it seven years ago and they employ a full-blown engineering team of data scientists and tech engineers.  Beacon tracks a vast array of data on 6M different companies.  And Chris started with first principles, asking "what are the KPIs that the management teams of these companies are measuring?"... those are the same elements we should measure with Beacon.  It analyzes items including customer behavior, frequency, engagement, CLV, consumer transactions, financial flows, quality of those flows, news sentiment and also team construction and quality, just to name a few.   And signal fire's platform isn't just for the investors.  There is a UI for advisors and most importantly founders as well.  Founders can utilize heir robust SaaS recruiting platform to address the key need of early stage companies... recruiting top talent.  With Beacon, Signal Fire has set out to tech enable the entire value chain of a venture firm from end-to-end.  Early indications from folks in my network are that it's an impressive platform indeed.     2- The Prepared Mind   Signal Fire did not coin the concept of "the prepared mind" but Chris does follow it.  The approach that came out of Accel has an emphasis on heavy research on existing domains.  The creation of market maps that help visualize the landscape and reveal opportunities.  In a previous episode, David Cowan discussed his approach to the Space vertical that leverages this methodology.  And in Chris implementation, he is constantly refining the maps.  He meets with LP experts and founders to go much deeper and broader than they could do w/ data alone.  The result is that Signal Fire is often much less bullish on the en vogue sectors and vice-a-versa.  Their investment in pizza making robot company, Zume, certainly illustrates their fresh perspective on an oft-ignored industry.   3- The Common Thread of Success    I asked Chris for a common thread that he's noticed across successful startups.  And I really enjoyed his response.  The common thread in winners are those companies that are doing things full-stack. They are creating an end-to-end solution that is vertically integrated.  Where a company can be it's own customer in order to provide a better solution for the end consumer.  I discussed this concept w/ Charles Hudson in a previous episode.  We talked about finding the place within the vertical supply stack that enforces discipline on the chain and drives the most value.  Chris point was compelling in that he looks for startups that own the chain, not just a part of it.   Tip of the Week:  Tail Wags Dog -- The Affinity Investor     To listen more, please visit http://fullratchet.net/podcast-episodes/ for all of our other episodes.
