  • Resurrecting dire wolves is just the beginning for Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm

    Resurrecting dire wolves is just the beginning for Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm
    Dec 23 2025

    In this encore episode of Rapid Response, we revisit a scientific breakthrough that set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction’ of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences’ announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and re-wilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal’s dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal’s co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joined host Bob Safian to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the startup attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company’s technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.

I have listened to Masters of Scale since the beginning. At the time, I was switching jobs from Microsoft to Oculus Research (Facebook Reality Labs Research and now Meta Reality Labs Research). This Podcast inspired me so profoundly. Its storytelling was unique. Its quality and use of sound and honest conversations were terrific. And now I recommend it to every Product Manager and person in Tech that I meet. I am leaving a review here in Audible because it deserves thousands of five-star reviews, and I love that I can now bookmark in Audible with my audiobooks (including the Masters of Scale book)! Keep up the great work and teach us all how to be our scale masters and entrepreneurs.
