Episode notes

I announced the X Prize under the arch in St. Louis in May of 1996, five years earlier. And I pitched 150 executive CEOs, billionaires, philanthropists around the world to say, please put up the $10 million. Do you remember the first communication from Miedel? Yes. Just to tell those listening where we intersect.

In this episode, Peter and Anousheh discuss her journey to space, advice for women entrepreneurs, and Anousheh’s path to leadership at XPRIZE.

Anousheh Ansari is the CEO of the XPRIZE Foundation. Ansari, along with her family, sponsored the organization’s first competition, the Ansari XPRIZE, a $10 million competition that ignited a new era for commercial spaceflight. She captured headlines around the world when she embarked upon an 11-day space expedition, accomplishing her childhood dream of becoming the first female private space explorer, first astronaut of Iranian descent, first Muslim woman in space, and fourth private explorer to visit space.
