#57 Humans Never Stop Innovating! | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob

Hey hey, it’s us—Hi! Back again to wrap the week with you, from sunny Los Angeles, where summer lingers while autumn creeps in elsewhere. In this special extended episode, we dive deep into the realities shaping our world—from political chaos and cultural uncertainty to the hopeful power of entrepreneurial thinking that continues to fuel our pragmatic optimism.This week, we sat down with our brilliant friend and mentee Paco Valencia, live from his clinic in Morelia, Mexico, for an eye-opening conversation about the future of prosthetics. Imagine this: over 40 million people worldwide live with prosthetic limbs, yet the design behind them has remained practically untouched for 6,000 years. Paco and his team are changing that narrative—using AI and modern manufacturing to reimagine what’s possible for mobility, comfort, and human dignity.But that's just one part of this powerful journey.We also reflect on other inspiring voices from across the globe: from Tijuana’s economic revitalization with Adriana Eguia, to rethinking venture capital with Allison Byers, to climate investment in Spain, fintech in Mexico, small business support in Virginia, and clean energy innovation that’s leading the way across Latin America. Each conversation is a reminder that while parts of the world feel like they’re spinning out of control, there are extraordinary people building a better one.This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a blueprint for hope.So if you're looking for real talk, meaningful insights, and a little bit of soul to close out your week—pull up a chair. Let’s spend some time together.
