Episode notes

Only a few hundrediphones can provide enough cobalt to make a new tussla battery pack. There should be a very aggressive public campaign of, if you have batteries sitting in draws, please go to this location. Apple now is doing that. We'll take anything you give them, even old imax. They won't give you credit for the oldest ones, but at least they'll take them.

In a short news segment, Jason talks about a company that tried to sell "fantasy startup investing" NFTs and why they had to pivot (1:44). Jason gives a brief tribute to Steve Jobs (15:48). Then, he's joined by JB Straubel, Tesla's longtime CTO who stepped down in 2019 to found a new lithium-ion battery recycling company, Redwood Materials(22:08). JB and Jason discuss the early launches and setbacks at Tesla, overcoming challenges, and the possibilities created by battery recycling. To close out the show, we play a clip of Steve Job's 2005 Stanford Commencement Address (1:20:15).
