Most founder podcasts settle for the polished press tour. Ti Morse is building the opposite: long-form, cinematically staged interviews with the operators actually shipping the future — and the people who don't usually sit for podcasts are saying yes. In months, Morse has become one of the most trusted interviewers in hard tech, defense, space, and frontier AI. The guest list maps where serious capital and talent are flowing: Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Baiju Bhatt (Robinhood, now building orbital data centers at Aetherflux) Apple Podcasts Sulaiman Ghori on xAI's Colossus, Keller Cliffton on Zipline's 2 million drone deliveries Amazon Justin Fiaschetti (Inversion's sub-hour cargo from orbit), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face) Spotify for Creators What lands is the production. For Armstrong, Morse's team built the Iron Bank of Braavos as a set and commissioned a four-foot, 1,000-pound marble Bitcoin. For Beck, he flew to Rocket Lab's HQ in New Zealand. Founders sit because they can tell the work matters to him. LinkedIn He's documenting the El Segundo hard-tech renaissance — Hadrian, Neros, Castelion, Picogrid — at the moment American reindustrialization and defense tech moved from niche thesis to consensus.

Discipline is expensive and finite; design is cheap and reusable. The relentless people usually look less heroic up close because the friction has been engineered out.
What have you changed your mind about in the last five years?
A useful test of whether someone is still learning rather than defending. What belief did you hold confidently that you have since abandoned?
How do you keep your intensity from consuming the people around you?
High standards are contagious in both directions. What have you had to change about how you communicate drive so that it recruits rather than burns out the people beside you?
