balenaPodcast 06: Ideamarket.io, enabling curiosity and discovery of new ideas on the internet, and investigating evidence about UFOs
In this episode, we welcome Mike Elias, Founder of ideamarket.io, a marketplace for ideas built on Ethereum Layer 2. People can list and invest in ideas and curators that they think are creating or surfacing ideas worth caring about. This marketplace makes great ideas valuable and potentially makes it difficult to support misinformation or bad ideas.
Before we jump into ideamarket, we talk shop about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs)! Mike piques our curiosity and builds a foundation for why we need to keep our minds open to the possibilities– one of the key ingredients to making ideamarket.io work!
Stay hungry and stay curious, everyone.
Hosted by Alexandros Marinos, Founder and CEO of balena and Andrew Nhem, Product Builder at balena.

Episode 05: Consilience, how we can better understand everything and each other featuring Tom Beakbane
In this episode, we’re joined by Tom Beakbane, author of How to Understand Everything: Consilience: A New Way to See the World. He’ll be interviewed by Alex Marinos, Founder and CEO of balena.
Tom and Alex dig into consilience, the twin sibling of science. While science helps us better understand the natural and physical world, consilience is how we agree and understand the approaches of those subjects.
Think of the last “a-ha” moment that you had. Yep, consilience is like that feeling. The two discuss how the practice of consilience can help us have a deeper understanding of one another and help us make better sense of this wild, wild world.

Episode 04: Building better organizations for the future, applying systems thinking to leadership, and next-gen agile and lean with Chris R. Chapman
Software Development Coach, Chris R. Chapman, joins the balenaPodcast to talk about what next-gen engineering leaders need to build better organizations. Chapman discusses why systems thinking is critical for any new leader, as well as applying psychology and empathy into the mix. He reminds us of the management thinking of luminaries like Deming, Ackoff, Taguchi, and more, while encouraging new leaders to help modernize those principles to help build better businesses for the future.

Episode 02, Part 2: On democratizing industrial-level 3D printing hardware and manufacturing technology to solve supply chain challenges, talkin' space travel, and advanced 3D printer mods
Turns out when you have big-brain 3D printing entrepreneurs hanging out, there’s no end on what to cover. Our guests, Dival Banerjee, Founder of Vuecason, and Matt Parlmer, Founder of GenFab, talk shop about how democratizing manufacturing machinery, software, and methods can help us solve some of the growing global supply chain challenges.
It’s also not just about solving the supply chain problems. What does the lack of manufacturing software and hardware innovation mean for our pace of technological advancement across mankind? Will we ever achieve Sci-Fi-level spacefaring dreams?
It can’t all be work and no play, of course. Learn what kind of must-have modifications any 3D printer enthusiast must have to supercharge their home setup.

Episode 02, Part 1: Democratizing industrial-level 3D printing hardware and manufacturing technology with Dival Banerjee and Matt Parlmer
This episode features Dival Banerjee, Founder of Vuecason, and Matt Parlmer, Founder of GenFab, who both are working on inventive ways to bring industrial-level 3D printing capability to the masses. We talked about what they’re working on and how it impacts the future of not only manufacturing, but how it can greatly inspire tomorrow’s engineers and builders.
How do we make manufacturing more accessible and cost-friendly? Are hardware design processes stuck in the 90s? Can hardware and manufacturing find its “AWS moment” and get to push-button ease? When will hardware get its own kind of version control, collaboration tools, variables, and functions? What will the next generation of CAD look like? Will we ever get the equivalent of a hardware linter for CAD?
Tune in to this deep discussion.
