#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Or everyone thinks about this problem this way, and the reality is that you should think about it this way, this very different way, this orthogonal way.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And it might not make sense to a lot of people, but here's the reasons why that makes sense.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And here's all the questions you might ask, and here's all, let's go down the rabbit hole together and figure out what the answer is.

The Shawn Ryan Show

It's those types of companies that founders fund backs.

The Shawn Ryan Show

And so it's completely without a theme.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I think the biggest theme is it should be something that can change an industry and is like N of one, just like a totally unique company that is unlike anything else.

The Shawn Ryan Show

I think a lot of it's gonna come back to the energy stuff that we talked about.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I think it's gonna be energy growth.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I think everything comes back to energy.

So if it's manufacturing, if it's AI, it's gonna come back to energy production.

The Shawn Ryan Show

If it's economic growth, it comes back to energy production.

The Shawn Ryan Show

So I think we're in this period of immense need for more energy, and there's a lot of companies that could get started.

The Shawn Ryan Show

There's people starting reactor companies.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

We're working on the fuel for the reactors.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

There's going to be things like transformers.

#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And so I think it's a huge range of things people should do, but it's not going to just be energy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I think what should people do?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

It's, you know, I think the guideline that Peter at Founders Fund has given to people, which I find really inspiring and like it's a good it's a good rule of thumb is do something that matters.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

that otherwise won't get done and that only you can do.

And I think if you can find that thing to work on, that's more important than anything else.
