In this episode, Josh and Jake sit down with Tom Gray, CEO of Make48, the high-octane 48-hour invention challenge where teams go from idea to prototype under real-world constraints—with expert builders, tools, and cameras rolling.

Tom shares his unlikely path from a small lifestyle farm in New Zealand to launching a televised innovation series in the U.S. Along the way, we talk about:

• Learning by doing (and failing young)
• The power of community-based making
• Why YouTube might be the best teacher on Earth
• What really defines a maker or inventor
• His most powerful stories from working with blind student innovators
• How side gigs can become something much bigger

Whether you're an educator, builder, dreamer, or just Make48-curious, this episode will make you rethink who gets to innovate—and why it's probably you.
