- Reducing complexity, increasing speed, enhancing the user interface, reducing costs, reducing waste, enhancing equality, and saving lives; this is the mission of Zipline. Today on the show, we are joined by Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, the co-founder of the company on a mission to provide the world with an autonomous drone logistics system that is incomparable to any other delivery service on the planet. Despite the enormous amount of skepticism they were up against, Keller and his team chose to turn science fiction into reality. Through delivering blood to hospitals in Rwanda, Zipline has been able to reduce the maternal mortality rate by 88%, and they have flown over 40 million miles for commercial purposes. In this episode, Keller talks about the variety of challenges that have made the Zipline mission far harder than they anticipated, their humble approach to product development, and what this groundbreaking business model means for the future of logistics and human kind.
Key Points From This Episode:

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... As one that has a Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, a Senior Technician Certification by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE) an FCC General Radiotelephone Operator's License and a Federal and CALIFORNIA (yes.. California) Certified Journeyman Electronic Communication Technician. I HAVE BEEN A BELIEVER IN ARK SINCE THE 1ST TIME I SAW THEIR INFORMATION.
I'll double down on that.. I bought a house in late 2014 (the best time to buy a house in the last 50 years) I wouldn't have bought that house had I been aware of ARK... and I would've sold all 4 of my Cars and bought rode my bike to work. Yes, I'm that convinced. Shot Out to the Luddites that don't know the difference between BJT Transistor and a MOSFET. (you're in over your head)
Yes, the USA is now trailing Rwanda in autonomous drone technology. Everything is fine, USA.
Some great quotes, too 😂
“We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be”
"People go from sci-fi to entitlement in approximately seven days." Haha.
What an exciting interview. Thank you!!!
Are there any reports you'll have done on Teladoc, similar to Tesla considering that it's one of the largest overall positions. Teledoc forcasts seem very lackluster with 5 to 20% growth numbers so what's the catalyst that is going to drive Teladoc to 10x-100x that warrants it's comparison to Amazon etc. even in the 3-5 year timeframe? Would be great if Ark could do an update/deep dive/explain elaborately the thesis behind this.
Great video
this man is building an autonomous drone delivery company, and he had to leave the USA to do it. The USA is trailing in technology
Luddites with Pitchforks, Torches, Smartphones and e-mail addresses. Go figure. (just make money from their ignorance)
Am I the only person seeing the wrong thumbnail for this video?
