00:00:15,316 --> 00:00:25,236
Speaker 1: Pushkin. I'm Jacob Goldstein. I used to host Planet Money.

2
00:00:25,596 --> 00:00:29,636
Speaker 1: Now I'm starting a new show. It's called What's Your Problem.

3
00:00:29,676 --> 00:00:32,956
Speaker 1: It's a show about technology and business where entrepreneurs and

4
00:00:32,996 --> 00:00:35,956
Speaker 1: engineers talk about the frontier problems they're trying to solve.

5
00:00:36,076 --> 00:00:39,156
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm talking to people who get up every

6
00:00:39,196 --> 00:00:41,636
Speaker 1: day and try to figure out how to do something

7
00:00:41,756 --> 00:00:45,396
Speaker 1: that nobody on Earth knows how to do. How do

8
00:00:45,436 --> 00:00:47,796
Speaker 1: you take a drone delivery service that you've built in

9
00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:51,956
Speaker 1: Rwanda and make it work in North Carolina. Our customers,

10
00:00:51,996 --> 00:00:55,196
Speaker 1: they want us to do this unbelievably reliably in the storms,

11
00:00:55,236 --> 00:00:59,316
Speaker 1: no matter what, hundreds of times a day. How do

12
00:00:59,356 --> 00:01:02,116
Speaker 1: you start with a dream of turning single cells into

13
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:06,076
Speaker 1: tiny factories and wind up with a ten billion dollar company.

14
00:01:06,916 --> 00:01:10,076
Speaker 1: We didn't have a particular technology, we have a business model,

15
00:01:10,156 --> 00:01:12,076
Speaker 1: We didn't have a way of making money, all right,

16
00:01:13,076 --> 00:01:15,596
Speaker 1: it was a great way to start a company. Highly recommend.

17
00:01:17,836 --> 00:01:20,156
Speaker 1: How do you sell dog ramps to weener dog owners

18
00:01:20,196 --> 00:01:22,996
Speaker 1: all around America in the middle of a global pandemic.

19
00:01:23,396 --> 00:01:27,196
Speaker 1: We're working with four hundred influencers and the majority of

20
00:01:27,236 --> 00:01:30,316
Speaker 1: them are actually not a person, but it's actually a dog.

21
00:01:31,036 --> 00:01:35,676
Speaker 1: And some of them have over a million followers. I

22
00:01:35,716 --> 00:01:37,836
Speaker 1: can tell you right now, the weener dog ramp Guy

23
00:01:37,996 --> 00:01:43,156
Speaker 1: is working on some very interesting problems. The show is

24
00:01:43,156 --> 00:01:46,076
Speaker 1: called What's Your Problem, and it launches on March seventeenth.
