Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文

Episode 86 of #CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan: Zara Chowdhry is a recent King's College London graduate with a BSc in Global Health. Zara led the post-Covid resurgence of the Kings Consulting Society, starting as treasurer in her first year and finishing as President in her final year. Living in the heart of London has provided Zara with the opportunity to explore hobbies, passions, and pathways both old and new – from the athletics track, where she soars with competitive grace, to the banks of the River Thames, where she finds solace in long-distance runs. Beyond the court, Zara has an uncanny knack for discovering the coziest cafes, hiking uncharted paths, indulging in scrumptious pizza, and even spotting adorable chow chows.

“It was lovely having such a wholesome conversation with David. It was truly an honour to be one of the first from KCL being interviewed!” – Zara Chowdhry

WHY? COFFEE'S ON ME, DAVID QUAN 权丁文
TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: https://linktr.ee/DavidQuan . Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure.
To converse with someone without a strict time limit or structure – meticulously engaging in a curious process of clarifications or elaborations – is not only a rare privilege. This longer format also allows the sharing of otherwise unshared or unappreciated anecdotes. There are appeals to sound-bite media, of course, but the metrics that matter most to me are more about the uniqueness of contribution than measures of virality. Over time, I hope to be able to better deconstruct guests' fascinating experiences – to seamlessly tease out the insights for listeners to enjoy and learn from while cooking, commuting, relaxing, or walking their pet.
But this personal project is fundamentally as much about what we can learn from the guests as it is to give them (current) legacy-worthy interviews. My top priority is for guests to enjoy a unique opportunity to challenge, learn about, and be themselves; hopefully, they will be able to keep recordings of in-depth, heartfelt conversations to reflect on in years’ time.
And the best part for guests? Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文
