In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff Cardenas, CEO and Co-founder of Apptronik, a company on a mission to build the ultimate tool for humans: humanoid robots. Jeff shares his entrepreneurial journey, from early ventures in political tech to co-founding Apptronik, and how his path led to building Apollo, one of the most advanced humanoid robots in the world.

We explore how robotics can help free humans from repetitive or dangerous tasks, allowing us to focus more on meaningful and creative pursuits. Along the way, Jeff offers insights into the future of human-robot collaboration and how his team is making science fiction feel a lot more like reality.
