Rich Habits Podcast · Robots, Rockets, and Air Taxis w/ BLADE CEO (Rob Wiesenthal) · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

It's that kind of I'm set in my ways.

I know how open minded am I, which sometimes can create a need to reduce friction, which can be a little bit of a self-selecting process for people who time is money and want to make more of it.

But also, I think as you, you know, more people hear about it and it's a lot of it's word of mouth, they're going to get more comfortable with it.

But there's also, I think, a stigma we have to realize.

Like there is an iconography of that helicopter in the sky and that wealthy person.

So when we go, we spend a lot of money on marketing.

When you go to someone on the street, we've done our own service.

How much do you think a helicopter JFK costs?

People say $1,000.

I can spend millions marking $195.

It's very difficult to get in people's heads.

But it's happening.

It's happening.

I think we've given we've gotten rid of a lot of the stigma.

And definitely that was there before.

We're not completely done.

And I think when the Joby aircraft comes into service and it's quiet and it's emission free and the price starts to go down, I think that, you know, to use the overused term democratization, I think that that path will really start to be visible.

Very few ways in life you can buy time.

You know, it's interesting because one of the things that people don't think about when you think about what a city 2.0 look like.

And, you know, we're really dealing with, you know, streets that have been, you know, largely the same from anywhere from the 16th to the 1800s.
