  • What Do We Know About the World’s First Real Flying Car

    What Do We Know About the World’s First Real Flying Car
    Oct 23 2025

    In this episode, Jim Dukhovny, founder and CEO of Alef Aeronautics, unveils the science and vision behind the world’s first true flying car—a vehicle that could redefine how we travel. What began as a dream inspired by science fiction has evolved into a technological breakthrough, combining aerospace engineering, electric propulsion, and automotive design.

    Jim explains what makes his creation different from drones or electric helicopters, how his team overcame key engineering and safety challenges, and why 2015—the same year the Back to the Future DeLorean was set to arrive—was the perfect time for this innovation to take flight.

    He also addresses misconceptions about safety, air traffic, and AI control systems, and shares his vision for a future where “highways in the sky” could free us from traffic and give people back one of life’s most valuable resources—time.

    Oct 17 2025
    In today’s episode, Cameron Chell—tech entrepreneur and CEO of Draganfly—shares his extraordinary journey from building his first business at 14, to losing it all to addiction, to rebuilding his life through innovation and purpose. Chell recounts his early rise in the dot-com boom, his downfall after 9/11, and the long road to recovery that reshaped his outlook on success. “Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is catching the success you were chasing,” he says. Today, Chell leads Draganfly, one of the most successful drone companies in North America, developing cutting-edge technology used for humanitarian aid, border security, and public safety. From delivering insulin in war-torn Ukraine to supporting border communities in Arizona, his story is as much about resilience as it is about technology. Join us for a powerful conversation about failure, redemption, and how innovation can serve both people and purpose.
