Jenna Bryant | Space "Beyond Launch", Dual-Use Tech, & Embracing the non-linear path in STEM | People of Science

This week we are honored to have Jenna Bryant, the Co-Founder of Embedded Ventures and the CEO/General Partner on the podcast. We had Jordan Noone, her Co-Founder and CTO for Embedded at the end of last year (available here). We pick up our conversation about space "beyond launch".  We explore Jenna's non-linear STEM original story and discuss how we should be embracing that as the norm, becuase it has become the norm in Tech. Jenna's has seen this first hand in her early days as a Tech Recruiter during the hayday of Silicon Valley, and its helping her and Embedded Ventures shape the future of space with Dual-Use Technologies.   Learn more on this new exciting episode of the all-things space podcast!  https://www.embedded.ventures/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennabryant/ 00:15 welcome Jenna Bryant / Embedded Ventures 01:05 outreach STEM 06:45 mentor ship programs, twitch streaming, 08:15 project payload for middle school girls to design test and launch a rocket! 09:45 science is messy 10:45 Juleah kaliski 11:15 stem origin story 12:15 tech agencies in LA 13:15 Jenna's mentor and MySpace 13:45 from tech recruiter to investor, Jordan and Jenna's balance, meeting Jordan noone 17:45 founders become recuiters 18:45 kittycad 20:35 the hype was real for a new CAD innovation 27:45 making money better & smarter 28:55 geeking out about space infrastructure 30:15 every company is becoming a robotics company 31:45 GPS has a risky future, infrastructure, starlink 38:15 BTTF & Deloreans 41:15 materials science will be the future! 44:15 airdropping around the world 46:15 Huntsville influence & space 52:15 nonlinear careers in stem are the norm! 01:00:15 trumpets playing and jazz 01:04:45 final thoughts from Jenna Bryant
