In this episode of The Intern Whisperer Podcast, we have the privilege of speaking with Robert Katz, the CEO of the World Innovation Network (WIN), a top technology think tank and internationally recognized nonprofit. Robert shares his incredible journey that started long before he was born—he's passionate about space exploration, and his career has been focused on using innovation to inspire change across the globe. WIN, founded in 1989, leads initiatives in deep-tech fields like Outer-Space, Cyber-Space, and Neuro-Space (AI, robotics, and brain science).

Robert discusses how his interdisciplinary approach has shaped his work at WIN, with a mission to connect countries and minds to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. From space exploration to AI’s impact on our cognitive abilities, Robert dives into the importance of collaboration across industries, including art, music, and science, to drive innovation. He also shares a powerful message about the future of work and the potential challenges of outsourcing our cognitive abilities to AI, as discussed in his book, De-Evolution.

We also get a sneak peek into Robert’s new program, Space Corp, which helps students explore careers in the space industry. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about innovation, technology, and how we can all make a meaningful impact on the world.
