In this BizBlend Podcast episode, Sana interviews Bo Short, co-founder and CEO of Base Molecular Resonance Technologies (BMRT), on leadership and technology when the stakes are life and death. Bo breaks down how trust between co-founders shapes execution, why deep tech must earn credibility through third-party validation, and how to lead without letting ego, hype, or investor pressure hijack the mission. The discussion explores ethical decision-making, responsible innovation, and what it takes to steward powerful detection technology with security top of mind. You will also hear Bo’s blunt take on AI. Useful, not always right, and dangerous when leaders get lazy. If you care about ethical leadership, startup discipline, deep tech strategy, and building technology that aims to reduce harm at scale, this conversation lands.

About the Guest:

Bo Short is the co-founder and CEO of Base Molecular Resonance Technologies (BMRT), a quantum physics deep tech company. He is a veteran leadership speaker and executive advisor, and he now focuses on scaling mission-driven technology across multiple industry verticals.

Key Takeaways:

• 
  

  Trust is a leadership asset. Bo joined after a single call from Lee Duke because credibility starts with who you choose to build with, and how you handle conflict fast.

  
  


• 
  

  Extraordinary tech needs extraordinary validation. They pursued third party physics testing before scaling the story.

  
  


• 
  

  Mission beats ego. Surround yourself with people smarter than you, keep power and money on a leash.

  
  


• 
  

  Responsible tech leadership means defining the lines you will not cross. Ethics, legality, and security are non negotiable.

  
  


• 
  

  In deep tech, skeptics will default to “not possible”. Leaders bridge the gap by inviting rigorous questions and staying patient.

  
  


• 
  

  Business must stay in business. Profit sustains the mission, but greed distorts decisions and culture.

  
  


• 
  

  Use case thinking matters. A platform technology can unlock many verticals. Medical, defense, agriculture, security, and more.

  
  


• 
  

  Communication is the antidote to fear. Explain the “how” in plain language, especially when people worry about surveillance and safety.

  
  


• 
  

  AI is a boardroom partner, not an oracle. If you treat AI as always right you are outsourcing thinking.

  
  


• 
  

  Burnout risk is real when stakes are life and death. Alignment, shared purpose, and disciplined decision making protect teams.
