The biggest turning point in Astro Teller's career happened not from success, but from changing his understanding of failure. Today he views failure as a signal rather than a setback—and that philosophy helps inform his approach to taking moonshots.

🌱 “We need to find the exact right plant to grow in the exact right environment, with the exact right inputs, to make a more healthy, sustainable, and equitable agricultural system.” Bradley Zamft, CEO of X graduate, Heritable Agriculture, describes how his team is transforming the future of agriculture on the #WhereTheInternetLives podcast. 📽️ Watch the mini-documentary from Where the Internet Lives to see how farmers can harness the same technology to feed the world better, with less and for less → https://lnkd.in/gE3cAdzE

On the latest episode of Where The Internet Lives, Wendy Tan White MBE, CEO of X graduate Intrinsic AI, shared how her team is reimagining what people can create and do with robotics. Her company developed Flowstate, software that allows manufacturers, large and small, to use highly skilled robots for production and assembly. For Wendy, it’s not just about efficiency—her mission is to democratize robotics by making them more affordable and easier to use and train. 🎧 Tune in to hear Wendy on #WhereTheInternetLives → https://lnkd.in/gXzXr_Mn #Moonshots #Manufacturing #Automation

Food waste is one of humanity’s toughest challenges, and Emily Ma is determined to tackle it with humor and joy—even if that means sifting through piles of trash in a parking lot. In the latest episode of The Moonshot Podcast Deep Dive series, Emily sat down with X’s Captain of Moonshots Astro Teller for a conversation about what to do with the world’s staggering amount of surplus food. They discussed how Emily’s team at X built an “air traffic control” system for food waste, and how that work gave rise to Chorus, an X graduate focused on optimizing global supply chains to reduce waste.
