In this episode of Curious Blend, host Keller Davis sits down with Createscape member Haley Salzwedel for a wide-ranging and delightfully nerdy conversation. They dive deep into Haley’s recent obsession with semiconductors—how they’re made, why they matter, and how one Taiwanese pioneer helped shape the global tech industry. From clean rooms and UV lithography to perfectly flat German mirrors, Haley explains it all with passion and clarity.

The two also explore the surreal experience of hearing obscure songs exactly when you're thinking of them, the value of boredom and unplugging, and why Haley traded downtown coworking chaos for the cozy charm of Createscape. Plus: Love Island confessions, White Lotus appreciation, and a shared appreciation for lists, structure, and living dangerously (but just a little).

This episode is for the curious mind who loves diving down rabbit holes—scientific, musical, or existential.
