Beyond Software: Pablos Holman on Deep Tech, Energy Inequality, and Building a Better Future | Ep 1111

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas speaks with Pablos Holman—hacker, inventor, futurist, and venture investor—whose career spans early cryptocurrency experiments, AI-driven stock trading, building spaceships at Blue Origin, and inventing disruptive technologies at Intellectual Ventures. With more than 100 patents to his name, including collaborations with Bill Gates to fight malaria, Pablos has dedicated his work to solving humanity’s biggest problems.He shares why today’s tech industry has over-indexed on software and why the future depends on deep tech—hardware-driven innovations that transform industries like energy, food, manufacturing, and construction. Pablos explains how supercomputing and simulation now make hardware experimentation faster, cheaper, and more viable than ever before, opening the door to breakthroughs once thought impossible.From advocating for ambitious, 10-year moonshot projects to tackling global energy inequality, Pablos challenges listeners to think beyond apps and incremental tools toward technologies that can truly uplift billions of people. His vision is rooted in one guiding principle: be a better ancestor by building solutions that serve future generations.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review.
