Welcome to the You Should Know This Podcast! Join us as we talk to visionaries, entrepreneurs and industry leaders who are shaping, disrupting and revolutionizing not only their own industries, but also the way we'll live and work in the future. Each week we look at a different global industry, provide market analysis from BCC and talk to the companies and individuals whose work you should definitely know about.
Clara is the Content Specialist at BCC Research, where she nerds out on the how new technologies are being integrated in different markets and industries through her work in writing, graphic design, and—naturally—the podcast.
When away from her desk, you can find Clara on the monkey bars as she preps for an OCR race, exploring a new hiking trail, or creating a new recipe in the kitchen. Always thirsty for knowledge, Clara finds innovators in a variety of fields and loves to ask the questions that our listeners want to know: How will this industry, technology, or company shape how we live and work in the future?
