A podcast from Open Velocity
Hosted by our managing partner, Bethan Vincent
What is The Brave?
The Brave is a podcast about the people, companies, systems and ideas that are contributing to creating a better future.
We speak to experts and innovators about what it takes to build new products, create new markets and challenge the status quo. We’ve interviewed industry experts like Melissa Quinn, the Head of Cornwall Spaceport and start-up founders like Maury Shenk, Founder of LearnerShape.
Frankly, we started The Brave as an excuse to have interesting conversations with interesting people.
