    Building the world’s largest aircraft | Bruno Bachinger

    Devin speaks with Bruno Bachinger, Chief Engineer at Radia. Radia is building the world's largest aircraft. This airplane will be ten times bigger than a commercial jetliner, with a cargo capacity that pushes what we think is possible in flight. Bruno brings decades of aerospace experience to the table, including more than twenty years at Boeing. In this episode, Bruno explains how prioritizing heavy-lift logistics could open up possibilities for renewable energy, defense, space, and humanitarian work. Plus, we explore why design decisions, not new technologies, can act as the real engines of innovation. 0:00 Intro 2:30 The business case for an oversized cargo plane  4:13 Small steps, big momentum 6:29 Start with the problem 7:26 Transporting fighter jets fully assembled 11:24 Humanitarian airlifts  12:50 “Short” wings and function-first design  16:08 Startup spirit: Betting big on purpose and teamwork 19:50 Lightning Round Links Devin Liddell on LinkedIn Bruno Bachinger on LinkedIn Teague About the Host: Futurist Devin Liddell Devin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.

    What it takes to make a car feel magical | Eric Wood

    Devin speaks with Eric Wood, Senior VP of Product Experience at 42dot, a subsidiary of Hyundai. He's also the former head of design at Rivian. Eric has been at the forefront of using software to transform the automotive world – not just in how cars are built, but in how we experience them. In this conversation, we explore what happens when you stop designing cars around horsepower and steel and start designing them as programmable machines instead. We also dig into the global competition shaping the future of cars and the rare moment when science fiction actually gets it right. 02:01 Camp Mode: origin story 04:41 Rethinking power and unlocking new features 07:24 Software vs. hardware: the changing nature of cars 11:07 Nostalgia and the evolution of car experiences 12:33 Designing features out of existence 15:57 Global competition and iterative speed 22:25 Lightening round Links Devin Liddell on LinkedIn Eric Wood on LinkedIn Teague About the Host: Futurist Devin Liddell Devin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.

    How to build a bionic hand | Aadeel Akhtar

    Devin speaks with Aadeel Akhtar, CEO and co-founder of Psyonic, a company designing advanced bionic limbs for both humans and robots. What started in academia has grown into a startup pushing the boundaries of human-machine synergy – including applications as ambitious as outer space. Devin and Aadeel talk about how PSYONIC’s work with EMG technology and direct nerve integration is reshaping what prosthetics can do, why Aadeel will always build for humans and robots, and – why future AI androids will be plenty smart, just not in a C-3PO kind of way. 1:52  Aadeel’s journey to bionic hand innovation 2:36  Serendipity in Ecuador 6:39  From academia to startup: founding PSYONIC 9:00  EMG technology 10:57  Direct nerve integration 12:32  Human - robot synergy 14:09  Bionic hands in space  18:26  Lightening round Links Devin Liddell on LinkedIn Aadeel Akhtar on LinkedIn Teague About the Host: Futurist Devin Liddell Devin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.

    Will the maritime industry ever ditch fossil fuels? | Kofi Asante

    Devin speaks with Kofi Asante, VP of Business Development and Expansion at Arc. Before joining Arc, Kofi worked in autonomy across the trucking and aerospace sectors. Now, he and the Arc team are setting their sights on a new frontier: electrifying the maritime industry. From wake boats to cargo ships, Arc is working toward a zero-emissions future on our waterways. And it all starts with the rugged and hardworking tugboat. Devin and Kofi talk about building trust with operators, tackling infrastructure and cost hurdles, and what it will take to bring electric innovation to an industry that has remained largely unchanged for decades. 0:50 Arc's Mission to Electrify Maritime Industry 2:24 Building an Electric Tugboat Prototype  3:45 Finding an Early Adopter  5:29 Addressing Infrastructure and Cost   7:30 Why Electric? 9:22 Autonomy in Maritime and more  12:15 Charging Infrastructure Solutions   15:38 How Quiet Can a Port Be?   19:53 Lightning Round  Links Devin Liddell on LinkedIn Kofi Asante on LinkedIn Teague About the Host: Futurist Devin Liddell Devin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.

    Behind the first AI that understands the physical world | Leonardo Giusti

    Devin speaks with Leonardo Giusti, founder and design director at Archetype AI. Leonardo is building a completely different kind of AI. Before starting Archetype AI, he led design at Google's advanced technology and projects division where he worked on some of the company's most experimental ideas. Now, he is training an AI model using – not language – but sensor data from the physical world. Leonardo and Devin explore how humans can wrestle agency back from AI, why designing for “polite” and “considerate” AI reveals a deeper design challenge, and how this work can inspire optimism—even among skeptics.

Bernadette is a self professed air plane nerd and has over a decade of experience designing the aircraft architecture of some of the world's largest commercial jets. The two discuss solving baggage anxiety, which tasks are still better suited to humans versus AI, and what raising a toddler can teach you about business leadership. And yes, “haba maba” comes up – it’s not just baby talk.  [03:06] Baggage Anxiety [05:35] Fairness and Justice in Air Travel [08:20] Personalized Air Travel and AI [12:38] Designing For The Seams and New Destinations [15:55] HABA MABA [20:23] AI and Human Superpowers [24:03] Speed Round Links Devin Liddell on LinkedIn Bernadette Berger on LinkedIn Teague About the Host: Futurist Devin Liddell Devin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.
