Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 E6: Bryce Crawford, Meow

Bryce Crawford had a pretty simple path into tech. He attended school at Vanderbilt, originally wanting to be a history major. But after observing his Dad's role in tech sales, he thought the industry looked like a good way to make money. He's worked for Capital One, Gemini and Facebook, specifically on Instagram shops. Outside of work - he keeps on coding, while trying to exercise, stay in shape, and travel when time permits. Fun fact - he claims to have an addiction to Indian food, and tends to eat at the same restaurant 2-3 times a week.

Bryce and his co-founder wanted to start something together for a long time - but didn't have any good ideas. However, they noticed that there was a ton of disruption and advancement in fintech, and specifically, the majority of folks don't like their financial services provider. They aimed to change that... for business customers, through treasury management.

This is the creation story of Meow.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 54: “Highwayman” by The Highwaymen, w/ David Gborie

This episode is our version of The Avengers: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson join together to form country music's most iconic supergroup. Though they wouldn't be officially known as The Highwaymen for several more years, their version of the vignette-filled story song not only defined the group but put them all back on the charts. This week David Gborie (All Fantasy Everything, Royal Crackers, Comedy Central) returns to the pod to discuss the enduring greatness and hilariously confusing lyrics of this outlaw classic.
