Podcast: Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino

I recently joined Joe Dimino on his podcast, "Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino." Our conversation ranged all the way from my second-grade Star Trek inspired dreams, to building robots, flying a VR system on the International Space Station, and writing my book - Inventing the Future: Stories from a Techno-Optimist

We talked about:

• How COVID changed everything for me — personally and professionally

• Losing both of my parents and channeling that grief and their love of science fiction and optimism into Inventing the Future: Stories from a Techno-Optimist

• Why I still believe in using technology to build a more equitable, human-centered future

• How I think about AI as a tool – and why I taught my kids prompt engineering

And some fun shout outs to the Movies Gremlins (1984) and Chitty Chitty bang bang (1968); the TV Documentary Sally (2025); and the current TV show For all mankind.

If you’re curious about tech, space, resilience, and optimism, I’d love for you to give the conversation a listen!
