How to Invent and Invest In the Future with Josh Wolfe

That’s exactly what today’s guest is doing as the founder and managing director of Lux Capital, where he invests in emerging science and technology ventures at the outermost edges of what is possible. Josh Wolfe (@wolfejosh), renowned Forbes journalist and visionary thinker, joins us on the show to share why we should question everything, how modern stressors differ from those our ancestors faced, the 3 important “M’s” in life, and some future advancements to look forward to (like the digitization of human scent). Josh is incredible, and it’s safe to say there’s something for everyone in this episode.

  1. I think the push for electric cars has yet to be proven to be a net positive for the world. Maybe for cars it will be but there's a lot of other transport methods that produce more CO2 than cars which can't use electric. There's also a balance to it, you can have a chip on your shoulder and want more performance but if you take it too far like Elon is, you'll end up having 0 employees
