H.B.R. presents. Hi there. I'm Azima Zahr and you're listening to exponential view.

Every week I come together with a brilliant mind to explore how our society is changing

under the force of rapidly evolving technologies to receive a regular dose of these insights please

hit subscribe on your podcast player of choice and if you can leave us a rating five

stars is best it really does help others find these discussions.

Today I'm in conversation with Astro Teller, the CEO of X,

the organization established by Google's founders

to find technological solutions to challenges so tough that overcoming them sometimes seems impossible.

Astro lives and breathed innovation.

He is charged with nurturing out landish ideas until they become the everyday.

Weimo, the self-driving car company, is just one example.

But for every success there are many many failures. We dig into

X's decade of innovation, leadership, and the moonshot challenges that are still waiting to

be solved. Now this podcast was recorded before the

coronavirus pandemic. So if you're suffering an overflow of COVID-19 news,

relax, we don't mention it, but if you are desperate for deep insights into the current crisis, we've got that covered. Just hit subscribe.

Now, on with my conversation with Astro Teller.

Astro, thanks for taking the time to speak with me today.

Absolutely, thanks for having me.
