Your government's most sensitive data: medical records, banking systems, national archives, might soon be orbiting 500km above your head, beyond the reach of any army, hacker, or natural disaster on Earth.
In this episode, I sit down with Shareef Al Romaithi, a former Etihad Airlines pilot who traded the cockpit for the cosmos. After two near-misses with the UAE astronaut program, he founded Madari Space - a startup building a constellation of data centers in low Earth orbit, backed by the UAE government and set to launch its first mission in 2027.
We get into why terrestrial data centers are quietly becoming an environmental disaster (they emit more carbon than the entire airline industry), how data sovereignty could become the next geopolitical battleground, and why "the Switzerland of data" might not be a country at all - it might be orbit.
We also talk radiation testing, laser communication between satellites, the new space race between the US and China, and what it means for a nation's most valuable asset to live beyond its own borders.
If your data isn't safe on Earth, is it safer in space?
Or are we just outsourcing the same problem to a place we can't even send a repair team?
Stay curious. Question everything.

Every time a plane takes off, it burns fuel. Real, liquid fuel. Not batteries. And that's not changing anytime soon. Planes, cargo ships, factories: nearly a third of global CO2 emissions come from industries that simply can't "go electric."
My guest today is Florian Hildebrand, mechanical engineer, serial entrepreneur, and someone who walked away from a software company he scaled to 200+ people and €80M raised, because he felt the pull to work on something that actually mattered.
Together with a researcher who spent 15 years developing the tech in a German university lab, Florian is building a way to pull CO2 straight from the air, store it in a crystal (think: a battery, but for carbon), combine it with green hydrogen, and turn it into synthetic fuel. Fuel that runs in a Boeing 737 with zero modifications to the engine or the airport.
We talk about the science, the economics of bankability, why hydrogen planes aren't the answer (yet), and what a world of energy abundance instead of scarcity could actually look like.
Stay curious. Question everything.

What if the dodo never really disappeared? What if a Neanderthal walking into a university lecture hall today wouldn't be that different from the rest of us?
My guest this week is Adrian Woolfson — founder of Genyro and author of "On the Future of Species" — a scientist who has spent his life asking a wild question: what happens when humans stop just reading DNA, and start writing it?
We talk about DNA as a four-letter language, why biology is about to become infrastructure the way steel did in the 19th century, and why Adrian believes we've already become time travelers — because once you can navigate the infinite space of all possible genomes, time only runs when you actually build something.
We also get into the hard stuff: the ethical lines Adrian refuses to cross, why he changed his mind about resurrecting extinct human species, and whether we're heading toward two futures — one transhuman, one that goes back to nature — or if both can coexist.
This one will stretch your brain. Grab a coffee beautiful humans.
Stay curious. Question everything.

Vitaly Bulatov spent 10 years deploying robots in the real world before anyone was paying attention. Then he built a fighting league for humanoid robots — not for the spectacle, but for what fighting forces robots to do: adapt, learn, and survive under pressure.
The cage is just the track. The software brain inside the robot is what actually competes. And the robots learning to fight today are the same ones that will walk our cities and build our homes tomorrow.
Whoever trains them best matters more than most people realize.

Your brain is the last truly private place you have. The thoughts you almost said. The feelings you never acted on. The decisions you made before anyone else knew you were making them. All of it, until now, invisible. Only yours.
Jörn Rickert, neuroscientist and entrepreneur, has spent his career on both sides of that frontier. He co-founded CorTec, a company that builds devices that go inside the human skull — listening to the brain and responding to it in real time.
Then he started Neudio, which uses music timed to your brainwaves to modulate your mind. No surgery. No electrodes. Just sound and neuroscience working together.
In this episode, we explore what the brain actually is, how it breaks, and what it means to fix it — or upgrade it. We talk about closed-loop brain stimulation, thought decoding, who owns your neural data, and the moment brain implants stopped being scary and started becoming sexy.
And we end somewhere unexpected: the question of whether the real threat isn't what goes inside your skull, but what's already happening outside of it.
Stay curious. Question everything. And maybe think twice about what you call a private thought.
