Reducing complexity, increasing speed, enhancing the user interface, reducing costs, reducing waste, enhancing equality, and saving lives; this is the mission of Zipline. Today on the show, we are joined by Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, the co-founder of the company on a mission to provide the world with an autonomous drone logistics system that is incomparable to any other delivery service on the planet. Despite the enormous amount of skepticism they were up against, Keller and his team chose to turn science fiction into reality. Through delivering blood to hospitals in Rwanda, Zipline has been able to reduce the maternal mortality rate by 88%, and they have flown over 40 million miles for commercial purposes. In this episode, Keller talks about the variety of challenges that have made the Zipline mission far harder than they anticipated, their humble approach to product development, and what this groundbreaking business model means for the future of logistics and human kind.
