Machine Method Phase: POST-MORTEM  When you invent an innovative new technology in the hottest space, it’s easy to get carried away with the possibilities when you should be focusing on your beachhead. That’s what happened to Dmitry and Rob when Dmitry invented a device capable of capturing 360 video and streaming it live across the world. The camera was lighter, cheaper and more compact than any of the solutions on the market raking in big VC money. The idea came from Dmitry watching racing and wanting to experience the race from inside the car, but knowing multiple GoPro rigs were too heavy and bulky in a sport where every gram counts. Rob, at the time, was looking for an opportunity in the VR space, and knew immediately that this was it. Dubbing the company Ultracast, they sent units all around the world that allowed people to travel to all of these locations in real time with just their phone. But it was too much, too quickly, and they learned the hard way that they should have cornered the racing market and only then expanded to other experiences. Learn more about this episode.

You have the power to manifest anything you want in this life. In this very special episode, Rob explores the art of manifestation through clarity, and explains how you can practice it in just 5 steps. The clearer your vision of your desired future, the more likely you are to manifest it through your actions. Manifestation isn't just wishing and hoping for an outcome you want to come true — it's a skill developed over time. You must create a vivid mental image of your desired future, immerse yourself in it, and trick your mind and body into believing it's real. Rob, a living testament to manifestation, emphasizes that it's about feeling, sensing, and deeply believing in its inevitability. It's when your mind and body cannot tell the difference between that which you imagine in great detail and that which is actually happening. So, the more you practice detailed manifestation over and over, while taking action to achieve them, the universe will begin to listen.
