Gentry Lee spent nearly five decades at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and in that time he helped shape some of the most ambitious missions in the history of space exploration. A new documentary, “Starman,” chronicles his career and the big question that runs through it: is there life beyond Earth? Lee worked on every NASA mission to land on Mars, helped Carl Sagan bring the Universe to living rooms around the world with “Cosmos,” and oversaw dozens of active missions as Chief Engineer for the Solar System Exploration Directorate at JPL. Few people have had a front-row seat to the Space Age quite like him. In this episode, host Sarah Al-Ahmed sits down with Gentry at Planetary Society headquarters just one day after his retirement from JPL. He reflects on the colleagues who shaped him, the missions that changed our understanding of the Solar System, and why the search for life beyond Earth remains the most profound endeavor humanity has ever undertaken.

What happens when scooters, robots, and real-world retail collide? We sit down with GOTRAX VP of Sales Todd Gentry to unpack how play, data, and speed are redefining what wins on shelves and in neighborhoods. From the 1990s “golden era” of Bentonville to startup floor time inflating basketballs, Todd's journey reveals why listening beats grandstanding, and why the best ideas are road-tested with families, not just modeled in spreadsheets.We dig into the rise of e‑mobility; e‑scooters, e‑bikes, and the surprising boom in golf carts, as costs fall and access grows. Todd explains how price compression turned $3,500 e‑bikes into $450 private-label offerings without losing quality, and why communities love open-air rides for school drop-offs and weekend errands. Then we pivot to practical AI: the “so what” of analytics, faster insights for replenishment and features, and a live story where an AI toy inferred Walmart's preferred “building systems” phrasing mid-meeting. That's not hype; that's context-aware assistance improving decisions humans still own.Robotics takes center stage as GOTRAX demos humanoids and quadrupeds in Walmart lobbies, pointing to near-term retail jobs in security, marketing, and guided experiences. Costs are high today, but the curve is familiar, and the tipping point is coming. Throughout, Todd shares candid lessons: why speed is the last durable edge, how to balance gut with data for innovation, and the simple career truth to talk less and listen more. If you care about retail strategy, AI that actually helps, and products that make life more fun, this conversation is your playbook.Enjoyed the episode?

You'll learn: Why personal branding is no longer optional—especially in times of market shift How niching down (even to one building or one block) can create massive momentum The biggest mistake professionals make when trying to grow their reputation Why intentionality with your time, talent, and resources changes everything How faith, discipline, and personal growth compound into long-term influence Why your personal brand is the ultimate professional insurance policy Dana also opens up about her faith journey, her struggle with anxiety, the power of mentorship, and why leaders must invest in themselves before they can truly lead others.

She gets a knock at the door from her pal Mac, who keeps pushing her to let him sign her and record some songs. She insists that's not happening.Mac owns a bar in Nashville, where Gentry works and is mostly happy—despite everyone constantly asking about her father. Why did he quit music? And where is his missing guitar?Family friend Rita stops by with a plea from the Opry: they want Gentry to attend the Opry's 100th anniversary to honor her dad. Gentry isn't sure.Over drinks, we learn that Mac and Gentry have been friends since high school, but Mac insists he has zero romantic interest in her. Mmmhmm. Sure, pal.Gentry, Mac, and Rita head to the Opry and tag along with a tour guide who looks suspiciously like Erin Cahill. Backstage, Gentry bumps into Von Winters, who asks why she's hesitant about attending the anniversary. She explains she always wanted to be a songwriter, but it didn't work out, and she never earned her place in the Opry Circle. Von tells her that her time may not be up—it's Christmas, after all.She goes out onto the Opry stage to think. A blinding light hits her and suddenly—she's transported back in time. There onstage are her dad and Von doing soundcheck. Before she can talk to him, she's zapped back to the present.She runs to tell Mac, who absolutely does NOT believe her.Determined, Gentry sneaks back onto the stage again. Another blinding flash—and boom—she's back in time, bumping into a younger Rita.Mac, worried about her, goes to the Opry. He sits in a pew, gets blinded by the light, and he time travels too. He finds Gentry and she explains they're in 1995, right before the final Winters & Wade performance. She tells him she needs to find out why her dad walked away from music. Young Rita spots them and assumes they're a married couple, insisting they stay at her apartment.The next day, Gentry goes to the Opry pretending to be a label rep so she can talk to her dad. Jett tells her he and Von are getting along great and have songs ready for their next album. This makes Gentry wonder if they're in some alternate timeline where the breakup never happens. Mac urges her to stop overthinking—maybe they were brought back for a reason.Later, Gentry overhears Von talking with their manager, who wants the duo to change their style. Jett is absolutely not on board.At a Christmas party, she overhears them discussing bringing in new writers. Jett is furious. When he sees her, he assumes she's part of the label agenda and storms off.Gentry goes outside to the fire pit with Mac and opens up about memories of her father, including a song they started but never finished. Mac asks her to sing it. She does—and Jett secretly listens from behind them.The next day, Jett approaches her to apologize and tells her the song is really good. He asks why she never finished it. She says he passed away before they had the chance. He invites her to come to the Opry the next day so they can work on it together.She agrees, and they spend the day bonding while Mac records a video of them singing. Their session is cut short when Von and the manager show up—they've moved the recording session up to December 26 to prep for a world tour. But that means Jett will miss Christmas with his family, and the long tour makes him uneasy.The next day, Jett is missing. Gentry knows exactly where to find him—his “thinking spot.” She and Mac go there, and she basically convinces him to walk away from the duo and choose family.Afterward, Mac and Gentry finally kiss.The next day, Von calls Gentry in and reveals he knows she's not a label executive—but he thinks she's a great songwriter and wants to work with her.Before the big performance, Jett tells Von he's out. This will be their final show.Right before the set, Mac realizes Jett doesn't have his pick. He runs it over, trips, falls onto a pew—BOOM—transported back to the present.After the show, Jett finds Gentry, gives her his guitar, and she hugs him. Suddenly—bright light—and she's transported back to the present with that very guitar in her hands.Von is about to give a speech and calls her up onstage. He tells her that her dad was proud of her and that they actually wrote a song together. Von knows. He invites Gentry into the Opry Circle. She speaks about her father, and Von reveals he invited Brad Paisley to perform the song she wrote with Jett. As the song plays, we see 1995 Jett return to the Christmas cabin and hug his family.In the present, Von says he's ready for that songwriting meeting. Gentry gives him her dad's guitar, then goes to talk to Mac—and they kiss again. Mac shows her the video he recorded of her singing with her father and tells her he can't remember a time he didn't love her. They kiss even more, right there in front of the Opry.
