Do you think it’s possible to launch a rocket from a Toyota Prius?

What if I told you the rocket also used a bio-derived, non-toxic and nearly carbon neutral fuel? Well, that is exactly what this week’s guest has achieved, and much more besides. Sascha Deri is CEO of bluShift Aerospace, an exciting New Space company aiming to not only drastically reduce the cost of space flight but also offer a much more environmentally friendly solution than any other launch provider out there at the moment.

Not content with running a successful renewable energy company, altE, Sascha talks to us about how he discovered his love of space, why not being able to become a pilot, and subsequently an astronaut, set him on his current path in revolutionising the launch market, how the most important discovery in bluShift’s history was made on a windowsill at a small New England farm and also makes some exciting announcements!

Now at Kaltura, Nuno has just experienced their highly successful IPO and their future is looking bright!

Talking to us about all things video, Nuno shares his views on the lessons learned throughout the pandemic, talks about the ‘Industrial Revolution’ moment the video industry is experiencing, and gives his advice on what someone getting into the industry today should think about.

Wonderful speaking with global Cyber marketing expert Reuben Braham (ex-Check Point, SailPoint and now leading marketing for Cyberint) on what makes him tick, how his wife is his biggest influence, why Israel is such a cyber powerhouse, how “in the Cyber Space there is no Fort Knox… there is always a way in” – plus perspectives on post-Covid marketing trends, and on creating meaningful marketing content which cuts through the noise.

The current CEO of BBC Studios Andrew Moultrie, reminds us of the importance of focusing on People, the Planet and Profit (PPP), and in that order. A hugely passionate individual, Andrew has taken a different path to many in his journey to the top of the Content & Media industry but it’s no surprise to see him there. Experience formed from major FMCG brands, a global outlook and sheer belief that he could succeed have clearly been key factors.

A huge advocate of all things people and thinking differently, he has some great things to say around the future of the industry, how workforces will change and what part technology needs to play. If you’re looking for a bit of zip and inspiration for your day, listen to this!

Having been at Ross Video for 30 years, David knows a thing or two about culture and he quoted – from something he read recently – that ‘Culture is what you ignore’. The premise being, that what you ignore will become normalised, and that will become your culture, either good or bad, reminding us all of the importance to highlight the good bits and to call out anything that does not meet your company standard.

In a wide ranging interview, we also cover how and why he joined his father’s business in 1991 (it hadn’t always been the plan!!), his thoughts on the industry and the tech that will affect things moving forwards. In addition, he raised the important issue of sustainability around Broadcast as well as having some excellent advice for those entering the industry – have two great skill sets, not just one!

Mohammed Akhlaq, ITN’s current CTO had an early desire to work for the BBC and was fortunate enough to make that a reality in the late 80’s. He recalls some wonderful memories of his time there, along with some amazing people who inspired him along the way.

From the BBC, he went on to join Al Jazerea where he played a key role in launching their first US studio and channel. He talks with passion, and authority, and you have a real sense that his experience results in a very level-headed leadership style.
