  • Riassunto

  • Welcome to the Where Stuff Comes From Podcast. We break down Where Stuff Comes From, what the heck is going on with our global stuff chains, and how to create opportunity in the midst of value chain and macro chaos. Where Stuff Comes From is a best-in-class entry point for entrepreneurs, industry leaders, consumers, and investors to understand the tangible, near term risks and opportunities that are compounding from tremendous flaws in our complex global supply chain. We are “long physical” because without the ability to rapidly scale in the physical world, we cannot scale in the digital world… and right now, the world is constrained by our limited, unstable ability to produce more of the physical. We see an unprecedented, massive opportunity for entrepreneurs to start to think about the physical again, and by doing so, create perennial and antifragile human flourishing for their customers, families, companies, and the free world. Elon Musk put it simply: “If we don’t make stuff, there’s no stuff.”

  • 5. Where Rare Earth Elements Come From with Pini Althaus

    5. Where Rare Earth Elements Come From with Pini Althaus
    Nov 4 2021

    Critical minerals are found in nearly every high-tech product we use today. For example, an iPhone is made of over 40 different elements found in dozens of different as-mined critical minerals (e.g. the rocks that come out of the ground). Right now the United States relies on our chief adversary, China, to supply nearly 100 of some of the most important critical minerals. Take for example, the rare earth metals, scandium, and graphite. In this episode I explore a key component of achieving American Minerals Independece: opening new mines for critical minerals. To do this, I sat down with Pini Althaus CEO of USA Rare Earths. Pini is a mining executive with decades of experience capitalizing and setting up new mining operations. USA Rare Earths is building an integrated mine to magnet rare earth supply chain located fully in the United States.

  • 4. Space: A Key Innovation Resource In The Cold War With China with Namrata Goswami

    4. Space: A Key Innovation Resource In The Cold War With China with Namrata Goswami
    Nov 4 2021

    Right now, the most important geopolitical competition since World War II, is unfolding between China and the United States. As a result, we need to start to ask Where Does Our Stuff Come From? Asking this question and building an understanding of this great power competition is essential to safeguarding our most important innovation resource: our ability to actually produce stuff. In this episode, we explore some of the high-level strategic moves that are unfolding right under our noses in the ongoing cold-war between the United States and China, and the implications that these moves have for entrepreneurs, industrialists, and innovators. To do this, we talk to Namrata Goswami, an author, strategic analyst and consultant on Great Power Politics, Space Policy, Alternate Futures, and Frameworks of Conflict Negotiation and Resolution.

     

    ***Correction: During the conversation, we reference that private companies need to PAY to access the United States’s Global Positioning System. So, to be clear: GPS is completely free and maintained by the US space force (and formerly the Air Force Space Command). You can learn more about how GPS works on www.gps.gov.***
