I was lucky enough to run into old friend Paul Gagliardo, a leading technology specialist, at the AWWA conference, who invited me onto his podcast, The Water Entrepreneur. We talked about how to support entrepreneurs through the startup phase, how to make a convincing argument to investors, and what it takes to build an enduring business. Listen to my episode on The Water Entrepreneur here.

Adam Tank and Jim Lauria are a podcasting duo who wrap up every episode asking: what is your tagline that you’d want to display on an airplane banner?   My offering:  What we do to water, we do to ourselves. What’s yours? Check out my episode on Water We Talking About?

Tom Ferguson, a fellow co-investor over at Burnt Island Ventures, recently launched their podcast The Fundamental Molecule. Have a listen here.

Will Sarni and Tom Freyberg host The Stream (73 episodes) with their perspective on corporate water and are now wading into investing themes and technologies. Their knowledgeable and friendly banter often bring smiles and knowing insights.

Jay Kapoor of VSC hosts his Climate podcast called Climb, and hosted me for a water tech episode recently.

One influential podcast is sadly shutting down for new episodes but remains available:  What About Water by Jay Famiglietti. I’m grateful to Jay for bringing compelling issues and fascinating people to the forefront. His impressive catalog of episodes focuses on science-based discussions of ongoing challenges will be timeless. Jay serves as the Director of Science at the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative at the Arizona State University.

To all these water experts, I say a hearty Thank You for bringing the water world to us through our earbuds. We learn so much from you and your guests. How did we ever keep up in the world of water without these podcasts?
