SHOW NOTES

0:44 Amy Peck introduces the Vice President at Prologis Ventures,
Todd Lewis.

4:36 So, let's talk about some of the companies you've invested in. I know you want to favor all of them equally, but are there some that you're very excited about?

10:17 So one of the challenges in the investment realm is that you don't want to be too early or too late. How do you balance what you can do today that will set you on a path for success with future technology?

17:25 You talked a little bit about autonomous vehicles and drones. How far out are you thinking on those and what are some of the inherent challenges that you're finding today?

25:35 So how does real estate figure into the airspace with drones? How do you see that evolving and how will drone delivery evolve that piece of the market as well?

38:06 So, let's go way into the future. Projecting yourself 20 to 30 years in the future, and you could bring with you any kind of gadget that would make your life better or make you happy, what would it be and what would it do?
