Podcast appearances and mentions of Horace Dediu

Måske går du rundt og tror, at Teslas el-biler skal frelse verdens storbyer fra et forurenende trafikkaos? Men du tager fejl. Det rigtige svar er din gamle cykel. Måske suppleret med et batteri, så du nemt kan køre længere ture. Og på sigt lave din cykel om til en rullende mobiltelefon. Manden bag tankerne om mikromobilitet hedder Horace Dediu, og han er dataanalytiker med en fortid hos Nokia. Det har ført til indgående analyser af Apple og deres dominans på smartphones. Horace Dediu har også studeret hos Clayton Christensen på Harvard University, manden der har udformet teorien om disruption. Blandt andet derfor er der grund til lytte, når Horace Dediu siger, at cyklen er den ægte disruption i storbyen - ikke en Tesla. På Techfestivalen i København i 2017kørte Horace Dediu et otte timer langt summit om mikromobiliet - dvs. fremtidens trafik i storbyen. Samme aften lavede Techtopia et live-interview med ham foran et publikum på cirka 100 mennesker på Space 10 i Kødbyen.

This week's episode of the Ride AI podcast is a mind-meld between automotive analyst Ed Niedermeyer and tech-innovation scholar Horace Dediu about why the car industry is ripe for disruption. Their conversation is a reflection on the transformative power of past innovations like computers and phones, and the need to imagine a better future for mobility.  Together they discuss:  The concept of unbundling the car for different trip types and purposes, similar to computing devices Observation that the world seeks to improve cars, but they are already highly optimized Critique of current approaches by companies like Tesla and Apple, which aim to fit new technologies into the existing car model Emphasis on the need for truly disruptive innovation in mobility, either through cheaper, more accessible options or new directions of competition Discussion on the potential for self-driving technology to transform mobility by enabling new experiences and connections Examinations of the challenges of building an EV that is both cheap and has extensive battery range Why investors are over-focused on cars as a platform at the expense of other autonomous driving use-cases, like agriculture, defense, and transit.  ⌲ Subscribe to our free newsletter to stay on the forefront of the intersection of AI and mobility

Apple is reportedly exiting the car industry, focusing instead on software and mobility services. The company's decision is driven by the challenges and complexities of the automotive industry, including high costs, long product cycles, and difficulty in making significant contributions. Apple's future in mobility may lie in micromobility and smart accessories for vehicles.

This week we have been in Amsterdam at our Micromobility Europe conference and Oliver had the chance to sit down with Horace who had just flown in from seeing the Apple vision pro at the WWDC unveil. We have talked on the show for years about how augmented reality would benefit micromobility, and so we wanted to take this opportunity to unpack a little bit more about what he saw, the idea of special computing, and how it could impact how we think about Mobility. We had an amazing show – our biggest yet, with more than 60 startups pitching in our award series and the most incredible bike rave at the end through the streets of Amsterdam with DJ Dom Whiting. We'll be sharing more content over the coming weeks but in the meantime, thank you to all who attended and hope that you had a blast. We certainly did. Specifically they dig into: - Horace's experience of the Vision Pro and why Apple has chosen to make a ‘spatial computer' - The implications for the general mobility market, and especially the difference between visions of the future based on autonomous or micromobility - Horace's predictions for spatial computing And with that, here's Horace.

In this very special episode, Joe and Drew revisit Drew's interview with the father of micromobility, Horace Dediu.This isn't the first time this interview's gone to air. You may have heard it first time around on Drew's other podcast, The Next Billion Seconds, or on Horace's own Micromobility podcast. It is, however, the first time we've sat down to discuss the many implications of what Horace shares for automotive design and strategy.If you want to cut to our analysis, fast forward to these points:what does it mean for the industry to make a worse car, and where might we start? (starting at 24m 57s)how does looking down versus looking out change how we think about designing for automobility? (starting at 50m)and just how screwed are the economics of automobiles in a heavily urbanised future? (starting at 1h 14m 57s)But of course, we'd love you to listen to the whole thing!Show Links:Citroen Ami One - a worse but better carThe Entrant's Guide to Automotive Industry - Horace's perspective on how the auto industry works and the update.Confessions of a Capital Junkie - Sergio Marchione's pivotal white paper on the automotive industryLooking Out:Subscribe to: Looking Out - The NewsletterSubscribe to:  Looking Out - The PodcastJoe Simpson & Drew SmithJoe on LinkedInDrew on LinkedInDrew on TwitterStudioPhro.comShow produced by: Chris FrithThat's it for this episode!

This week we chose to resyndicate a recent episode of a podcast called The Next Billion Seconds, for their series called The Next Billion Cars, where they look at the future of the transportation industry and how tech will help enable the next billion vehicles to get around. In this episode, Drew Smith interviews Horace, exploring the origins and future of micromobility. Per their description, “Horace offers a blistering critique of the failure of the automotive sector to embody the new design possibilities offered by micromobility: transportation choice in our urban centres, and a powerful framework to rethink our transportation networks and cities.” This was a great episode and many thanks to the Next Billion Seconds team for letting us resyndicate it here. From The Next Billion Seconds: What is ‘micromobility'? It's a philosophy that emphasises choice and urban-centered design in our transportation networks and transport options. Drew Smith speaks with Horace Dediu, the ‘father' of micromobility, about its origins, his critique of the new generation of EV companies, and the way things must change in order to provide a transport future that we can all enjoy. Mark looks at the ‘wheel' of transportation that takes developing nations from bicycles to scooters to cars – and back to bikes again? Sally Dominguez makes a heartfelt and well-observed plea for micromobility solutions that don't favour able-bodied young men by design. In the round-table, Mark, Sal and Drew analyse everything they've learned in this series: Are we any closer to autonomous vehicles? Pervasive electric vehicles? Commercial hydrogen vehicles? Micromobility solutions that work for everyone? A huge final for this series of THE NEXT BILLION CARS You can listen to The Next Billion Seconds and learn more right here.

This week on the podcast, we welcome back Horace for the first time in a while, to discuss the recent Mastodon storm on Apple's fabled car efforts and why they may fail, especially in the face of smaller, more modular vehicle solutions. We've linked to it below, but as quick context, the overall arc is that cars have a very long development and use lifespan, and that computers, the thing that Apple is best at, have far shorter timespans, and that there's a mismatch there around how these two dynamics would interplay. As we've talked about a lot here on the podcast, "the faster it goes, the slower it goes”. In recent years, the trend towards micromobility has been exploding. Our thesis is that smaller electric vehicles, like electric bikes and scooters, are more adaptable and can be developed and evolved at a much faster pace than larger vehicles like cars. The shorter development timeframes and lifespans of micromobility vehicles means that they can be more quickly adapted to changing market trends and consumer preferences, and can stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological advancements. Specifically they tackle: -The potential of micromobility -The challenges facing Apple's car efforts -The role of smaller, more modular vehicle solutions in shaping the future of the automotive industry.

SPECIAL EPISODE. We were so happy with Special Correspondent Drew Smith's rich and powerful interview with Horace Dediu, we wanted to share an episode featuring their complete conversation. Drew Smith sat down for an hour-plus interview with Horace Dediu, the ‘father' of micromobility - Horace coined the word! - exploring its origins and future. Along the way, Horace offers a blistering critique of the failure of the automotive sector to embody the new design possibilities offered by micromobility: transportation choice in our urban centres, and a powerful framework to rethink our transportation networks and cities.  The Next Billion Cars is proudly made possible by our sponsors GIO Insurance and BMW.

This week Oliver interviews Horace about the talk he did at Micromobility America on the Total Addressable Market for micromobility, and the opportunity of the space. This should really be listened to in context of the 5 Billion Riders talk that Horace gave at the conference, which is now on Youtube. Here, we dig into Horace's thought pattern and the significance of mapping out addressable markets in informing the debate and opportunity for the space. Specifically, they dig into: The backstory for Total Addressable Markets and why these matter What has changed since Horace's early work in this space The potential impact of 5 billion riders Why this matters for companies raising In the meantime, if you haven't already, check out our latest effort, the Rider Choice Awards.

Almost half of all humans now live in cities. By 2300 that number will climb to 75%. With so much population density, how will people get around? Horace Dediu and Roman Meliska have some powerful ideas. The future of transportation in cities is smaller, lighter, quicker and smarter. There is a shift underway to new modes of transportation that they call Micromobility. It is not the end of the car. But perhaps the end of an era in which cities are built to accommodate cars exclusively. What are these alternative forms of transportation? How much do they save us in terms of money, time and the environment? And which cities are the pioneers of the Micomobility revolution?#DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

This podcast was first published on our sister podcast, Infinite Block This week we're releasing a talk from our recent Micromobility Europe Conference, with Horace interviewing Azeem Azhar. Azeem is one of the great thinkers in the space of smart cities, the importance of exponential technologies like Micromobility and how they relate to governance and the social contract. You may recall that we interviewed him earlier this year. Both Horace and Azeem are big fans of each other and at the recent conference they got to sit down and really nut out the importance of the city and how it relates to Micromobility. These are the sort of conversations that we want to be having on the Infinite Block so if you have any suggested guests, please reach out to us on Twitter or email Oliver@micromobility.io with ideas. We'd love to hear from you. Find out more about Azeem and his involvement in micromobility here.

This week Horace and Oliver were together in person for the first time in nearly two and a half years as they got ready for the Micromobility Europe conference. One of the things that they love to do every so often is to revisit the Micromobilty thesis. They want this to be the episode you share with everyone who is perhaps interested in what all the fuss is about. If you're a first time listener, Horace Dediu is the creator of the term Micromobility, and this podcast was where he and Oliver first started talking about it. They've now done over 140 episodes, covering all manner of lightweight electric vehicles including interviewing CEOS/founders in this space from companies like Vanmoof, Cowboy, Onewheel, Unagi, Segway, Arcimoto and more, while also talking to shared operators such as Tier, Lime, Bird, Dott, Revel and Beam. They try to focus on the intersection between the new vehicle tech, cities and consumers, using the disruptive innovation framework developed by Clay Christensen to ask what jobs are being solved, why these small and low cost vehicles are interesting, and what the implications will be on wider society. Specifically they tackle:- Where the insight for micromobility came from- The core tenets of what it is - electric, lightweight, utility- Why it matters including how the world is urbanising, how we need to radically reduce emissions per vehicle, how most trips are short trips and how small vehicles evolve faster than small vehicles etc. - Why it is significant to transport systems in terms of enabling point to point transport in dense urban areas- What we got wrong in the last four years

Today's guest is one of my favorite follows, and the reason I started following him is because in the old days everybody linked to everybody. That's how the internet just worked. To get smart we linked, we shared, we discovered. Luckily I discovered Horace. He understood Apple. He studied and wrote about the company and helped me stay with Apple, not from talking specifically about the stock, but writing about what made Apple great. Horace now runs one of the best twitter streams, with a podcast arm, centered around micro mobility. If you like smart people and you like stuff that will actually help you make money, even though he's not talking specifically about stocks, Horace will be your man. I hope you enjoy this episode, and you can be sure Horace will be a recurring guest here on Panic with Friends.  Guest - Horace Dediu, Founder and Author of Asymco.com, Partner at Relay Ventures  howardlindzon.com, asymco.com, micromobility.io Twitter: @howardlindzon, @PanicwFriends, @hdediu, @asymco, @knutjensen  linkedin.com/in/dediu  #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance  Show Notes: (00:40) – Intro (05:06) – Welcome Horace (07:00) – Writing on the mobile industry (10:40) – Working at Nokia (12:46) – Making smartphones for the masses (14:18) – The battle between Microsoft and Nokia (17:47) – Apple and the iPod (20:38) – Horace starts blogging (24:33) – Rumors of the Apple "car" (26:02) – Communications is a commodity (30:08) – 2008 Steve Jobs conference call (33:38) – Humility as a business model (39:05) – Wrapping up (42:24) – Closing thoughts 

From lab-grown meat to TikTok, new technologies and networks are developing and spreading more rapidly than our norms and institutions can adapt.

This week we're releasing the interview of Rebecca Bellan from Techcrunch interviewing Gogoro CEO and cofounder Horace Luke at our recent Micromobility World event. Horace is an OG of Micromobility and very similar to our Horace Dediu in that he came from mobile as well, and then sought to apply the advancements in tech to transport.Gogoro aspires to build a battery swapping infrastructure that will power millions of micromobility users from Berlin to Hangzhou everyday. Rebecca gets the inside story of the Taiwanese battery-swapping company in a depth hasn't been captured before—and conveniently, right on the eve of the firm's upcoming IPO. Horace and Rebecca discuss - Horace's background in mobile phones- The business strategy behind battery swapping and two-wheelers- Gogoro's expansion plans for China, India, and Indonesia - some of the largest micromobility markets in the world.Thanks very much to Rebecca for doing such a great job.

This week we release the interview that Horace did with Bird CEO/founder Travis VanderZanden at Micromobility World conference from January 2022. It was his first public appearance since Bird went public late last year and it is an instantly iconic exchange between two of the industry's most important figures - Travis who catalyzed dockless electric scooters at Bird in California back in 2017 and Horace who coined the term micromobility. Travis and Horace discuss mega trends in micromobility and why, in their view, the industry still hasn't produced a bike or scooter as impactful as the iPhone. Specifically they dig into: - Travis's background in cell phones and ride-hail- The origins of Bird- Product and business model innovation in micromobility- The chicken-and-egg problem of infrastructure- How cities can accelerate micromobility adoption faster.It's an awesome discussion, and one you can only hear here on the Micromobility Podcast. Thanks very much for listening!

An unprecedented confluence of new technologies is disrupting the way we live, work, and earn in cities on a global scale. In the kickoff episode of the Infinite Block podcast, Oliver Bruce talks to his old colleague, world-renowned analyst Horace Dediu, about why our cities will not only survive the latest wave of innovations in business, policy, culture, and technology, but emerge stronger.

Eighty percent of urban trips are less than two miles long. So why do so many of us make them in big, inefficient, and expensive vehicles? Micromobility analyst Horace Dediu joins Azeem Azhar to discuss why many more of us will soon be getting around cities on electric scooters, bikes, and buggies and how that could change our lives for the better.

This week Oliver joins Horace to talk about his latest blogpost about his new transport metric - A Modicum of Transport. Developing new metrics is in some ways a provocation to remap how we thinks of new things, and change the framework for how the incumbents are viewed. This is no different. Like the horsepower before it, or the byte or Monthly Active User, we are trying to develop new nomenclature, metrics and ratios that sit around this phenomenon called Micromobility. They discuss the name, and would love your feedback on the concept, especially if there's a name that you feel might be easier or more intuitive to understand.Specifically they dig into:- The historical importance of James Watt's Horsepower and generally industrial measurements- Why new words and metrics can help us reframe the conversations- What the implications of a low MoTz score is in a city context (hint, it's like free flowing water vs. sewage)- The next steps for adoption

Horace Dediu is a Romanian-American micromobility industry analyst with a Master of Science degree in computer engineering from Tufts University and a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard University. His "Ten Commandents of Micromobility" are interpreted by Dagwood as they apply to scooting.

This week Oliver interviews Horace about his latest research on climate and micromobility, and his reflections on the recent COP26 meeting in Glasgow. Specifically, they dig into why micromobility wasn't more prominently featured in the potential solutions provided by groups like the IEA, and how that matches up to the disruptive innovation framework. Specifically they get into: - His new research and modelling into the climate action opportunity that micromobility presents- The https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-from-transportnew IEA report and it's reliance on new technology that they haven't identified, and why Horace believes it will come from micromobility- The challenges of technology disruption intersecting with policy makers who require proven and de-risked methods

GUESTS: Richard Corbett of Voi Technology, Adam Norris of Pure Electric, and Kersten Heineke of the McKinsey Center for Future MobilityThe term "micromobility" was first coined by Horace Dediu of Micromobility Industries, and refers to minimalist personal mobility, using vehicles weighing no more than 500kg.Micromobility is now widely accepted as part of our vocabulary, but ask for a definition, and you'll get a wide range of responses. You can be sure, however, that the definition will include e-scooters.And that's thanks to the e-scooter boom that's taken place over the last few years, with a growing number of towns and cities around the world offering e-scooters since they first appeared on the streets of LA and San Francisco in about 2018.Motorized scooters are nothing new, of course - they've been around for over a century - but it was a start-up in Singapore that brought free-floating rentable electric scooters to life in 2016, and a revolution was born.It's safe to say that e-scooters are here to stay – but what does that mean for the cities with no e-scooter strategy in place that find themselves suddenly hosting e-scooter providers?And even if a city does have a micromobility strategy, how does it integrate micromobility start-ups into its long-established public transport services?Then there's the detail: pay-as-you-go or subscription, docked or free-floating? Not to mention regulation, safety, and monitoring… And that's before we've even had time to think about profitability. For city regulators, each of these needs careful thought, planning, and time – in stark contrast to the fast-moving world in which many of the micromobility start-ups like to operate.We're delighted to welcome to the RIDE podcast three experts on micromobility:Richard Corbett of Voi TechnologiesAdam Norris of Pure ElectricKersten Heineke of the McKinsey Center for Future Mobility

This week Oliver interviews Horace about his recent thoughts on the impact of lithium ion batteries on power tools and how the market and products have developed. He also spawns a new framework: batteries we carry, batteries that carry us and batteries that carry themselves. It's Horace at his best - riffing and letting his brain do what it does.In the meantime, make sure that you get your tickets for Micromobility America, the world's largest summit devoted to small electric vehicles. It returns to the SF Bay Area on September 23, 2021 for an immersive, in-person gathering. The team are hellbent on breaking the old paradigm of car dependency and getting the world moving again, safely and sustainably. The event will be a jam-packed day of talks, demos, meetings, and test rides with micromobility's top global founders, policymakers, investors, and influencers.

Horace Dediu doesn't just “get” micromobility, he invented the very word “Micromobility”! Back in 2015, he saw the transformational potential of small, motorised vehicles and has been championing their adoption ever since.Who better to discuss this global revolution with than the man who first saw it coming?Horace is an analyst and founder of Asymco, the Critical Path and Micromobility Industries.In this week's podcast, we talk about the potential of micromobility and the impact on traditional public transport. In the process, we also cover a lot of innovation theory. Horace is one of the global leaders of the Micromobility movement, so this is a fascinating episode.

This week, Oliver and Horace interview Amir Haleem, CEO of Helium, about the rise of distributed telco infrastructure. This was originally recorded for the Critical Path, but given that Amir has been a guest on the podcast in the past and there's a direct link between what they're building and low cost connectivity for micromobility, we wanted to share here as well.If you're interested in Helium and wondering how it sits within the telecommunication industry business model, this is a great episode. Specifically they dig into: - The Helium model for telco and what problem they were trying to solve.- Why Horace calls this the first 'useful crypto' he's found.- Horace talks about the traps of infrastructure financing, and ponders whether the Helium model invalidate these challenges.- Horace and Amir break down whether/how the model is disruptive to existing infrastructure.- They talk about the future challenges they can foresee, and how Helium will potentially react.Also, the next Micromobility America conference is now scheduled for the 23rd of September. It'll be in Pier 70 in San Francisco and have more than 50 top speakers from the industry, more than 1000 global participants and 500ish startups and brands represented. If you love this space and want to find your tribe here, head to micromobility.io to find out more details.

Did you know that the term 'micro-mobility' didn't even exist until around 2012? Or that it was thought to be first used by a Romanian visionary, Horace Dediu? Neither did we until this week! Emily sits down with Monica Zarafu, the managing director of BYKKO to talk about mobility and micro-mobility in the built environment. In a world where one of the biggest fears we install in our children from a young age is a fear of cars, what might the future look like if we invest more into shared mobility infrastructure? BYKKO's Website: https://bykko.com.au/

Climate change sucks, but there are some upsides. Electric skateboards being one. E-scooters being the other. In fact the whole micromobility revolution is so much fun. And no one is having more fun than Oliver Bruce, the ex-Uber exec who has returned to NZ to become an angel investor and agitator for micromobility in our cities. Oliver is the co-founder of the Micromobility.io – a conference, podcast and research group focused on the future of short-run, urban transport solutions that don’t kill the planet. Micromobility.io is in itself a new breed of digital companies with the founders living in Helsinki, Wellington, New York and San Francisco. Why the hell not? The earth is flat, especially when you on an e-bike right? Visit Micromobility hereAbout OliverOliver Bruce is an angel investor and co-host of the Micromobility Podcast with Horace Dediu. Previously, he was with Uber in Australia and New Zealand working on strategic projects and business development. He lives in Wellington, New Zealand.https://micromobility.io/our-team

This week, we release the first of the many incredible sessions from the 2021 Micromobility World conference, wherein Benedict Evans and Horace Dediu discussed the disruptive potential of micromobility. It was an incredible conversation between two people who clearly have a lot of time and are excited by each others ideas. We hope you enjoy it! Specifically they dig into:Why Benedicts background as a historian makes him a great analyst.The micromobiltiy disruption thesis - low end, the asymmetric nature of unbundling trips (market for vehicles vs. market for miles), the role of fun/enjoyment, speed of interactionWhy micromobility is more interesting that autonomyThe role of Marchetti’s constant in transport, and why that matters for micrombility’s unique capabilitiesWhat the rise of elevators can teach us about new urban transport technologiesWhat the platform game will look like in this space.What the impact of COVID has been on how we think about transportHow micromobility will enable Amazon logistics API to fulfil deliveriesTackling ‘Should the thing move, or the person move?’, and why that matters to micromobility.Why the low cost of micromobility platforms will allow real world marketing kickbacks similar to how ‘surfing’ on the internet works now - ’take me somewhere interesting’Why the rise of new forms of transport like automobiles enabled new crimes and the rise of Bonnie and ClydeWhy cities will likely eventually move towards dynamic road pricingIf you prefer video, check out the video of it on the Micromobility Industries Youtube page here.

Brightly coloured, electrically-assisted bikes and scooters, rented via smartphone platforms, are crowding out street corners in cities across the globe – making cities greener and more liveable. But many questions remain around vehicle safety and governance, whether the business models really work, and whether they are really as environmentally friendly as they claim to be.In this episode we explore the forces shaping the future of urban mobility with analyst Horace Dediu, policy advisor Sharon Masterson, micromobility entrepreneur Amit Gupta and urban theorist Carlos Moreno.

Recently Ed had been noticing some negativity about AVs in tweets by friend of the show and brilliant technology analyst Horace Dediu. He challenged Horace to debate the prospects for autonomous drive technology, and what resulted was a fascinating conversation that proves there is more consensus about AVs than it sometimes seems. Though the resulting episode was less of a debate than originally imagined, it is still an in-depth exploration of the past and future of AVs as they struggle out of "the trough of disillusionment."

Heute spreche ich mit Corinne Vogel, Mitgründerin und Chief Business Officer von BOND Mobility, dem ersten und meines Wissens weltweit einzigen S-Pedelec Sharing Anbieter aus der Schweiz. Einer der Mitgründer ist Horace Dediu, das Micromobility Analysten Mastermind aus den USA und zur Wahl des Speed-Pedelecs, welche entgegen normalen e-bikes oder auch Pedelecs genannt 45km/h fahren kann hat er mal gesagt - wenn Autos mit einem Fahrstuhl verglichen werden können, der ÖPNV mit einer Rolltreppe und das Zufußgehen mit Treppensteigen, dann ist das S-Pedelec die Variante, in der man auf der Rolltreppe selbst noch hochgeht.

Something a bit different this week. Horace and Oliver host Anders Brownworth, co-host of the Critical Path, to talk about crypto, blockchains and markets for trust. Anders’ background working in telecom, finance and then crypto (developing USDC and now working at the Federal Reserve) give him a unique perspective. As Horace, Oliver and he break down what programmable trust can mean for markets, government and society.This came out of a discussion following a Micromobility podcast recording talking about Apple was functioning as an arbiter of trust with all its new key and payment building blocks, and how ‘trust’ carries a market premium, which gave way to a wider conversation about how trust can be priced.For those of you who aren’t that familar with the workings of Bitcoin/blockchain, Anders Brownworth has done a 101 video here (with more than 1 million views!) -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_160oMzblY8Specifically, they dig into:- The history of money, and why trust-minimised stores of value are so valuable.- Markets for trust and how companies like Google or Uber are potentially threatened by distributed marketplaces/clearinghouses.- How the overall valuation of Bitcoin is the NPV of all future trust that will be accumulated to the protocol.- Why having immutable records is so important for the functioning of democracies.- What areas of blockchains both Anders and Oliver are most excited about.Finally, as mentioned in the news - here is the excellent NYT article on the reallocation of streetspace in New York, “I’ve seen a future without cars and it’s amazing” - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/opinion/sunday/ban-cars-manhattan-cities.html

Horace Dediu on the difference between leadership and management

Here at Harvard Business School, we are mourning the recent passing of Professor Clayton Christensen. As many listeners will know, Clay died in late January following complications from leukemia. Our hearts go out to all who knew and were touched by him, and we feel that now, more than ever, we must press on, sharing his life’s work. Therefore, we are heartened to bring you this conversation with one of Clay’s brightest students: Horace Dediu. Horace is an analyst who studied disruption with Clay at The Christensen Institute. He's now leading a new revolution in how we transport ourselves: the micromobility revolution. He's the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at BOND Mobility, he co-founded a community-building and content-generating organization called Micromobility Industries, and he's an Analyst at Asymco. In his work, he draws on the theories of Disruption and Jobs To Be Done to target new and low-end markets. In fact, Horace contends that fully half of all driven miles in the United States will be substituted with micromobility-enabled options in the future! He is hosted in this fascinating and timely conversation by Katie Zandbergen, the Community Manager at The Forum for Growth & Innovation.

A Stark Look at America's Dysfunction in Afghanistan (0:33)Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, BYU J. Reuben Clark Law SchoolThe war in Afghanistan is America's longest. Eighteen years it's been going on. The Trump administration is negotiating with the Taliban to end the war and bring home the 13,000 US troops still in Afghanistan. That would seem an acknowledgment that we lost. What went wrong? The Washington Post this week published a confidential trove of government documents that show senior US officials have not been straight with the American public –or each other –about just how poorly things were going in Afghanistan over the years. Do We Actually Grow from Adversity? Is it ok not to? (20:40)Guest: Frank Infurna, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University, Co-Project Leader, Pathways to CharacterFriedrich Nietzsche first said "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."  It's now so cliche that even Kelly Clarkson had a hit about it.  About 15 years ago, scientists coined a term for it–“post-traumatic growth.” But Arizona State University associate psychology professor Frank Infurna says it's far from clear that adversity really does make us stronger.  Infurna co-leads a research initiative called “Pathways to Character” that is trying to get to the bottom of this. E-Scooters Are Just the Beginning. Here's the Future of Micromobility. (34:00)Guest: Horace Dediu, Industry Analyst, Co-Host of the Micromobility and Critical Path PodcastsAre these electric scooters for rent on streets all over the world just a fad? Right now,it's mostly men who use them. . . People with good balance –and in some cases, a death wish. Those things can be dangerous! Industry analyst Horace Dediu thinks e-scooters are just the start of a trend he calls “micromobility” that may one day include smart scooters that can find their own charging stations. Maybe with three wheels so they're more stable. Maybe they'll be self-driving. Maybe they'll be enclosed somehow to protect the rider from the elements. At that point, wouldn't it just drive your car or take the bus? The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era (50:44)Guest: Gareth Russell, Author “The Ship of Dreams: The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era”Twenty-two years ago this holiday season, James Cameron's Titanic was on its way to becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were suddenly huge stars. And Celine Dion was stuck in our heads. It's all such high drama. No wonder the Titanic is the most famous ship –and shipwreck –in history–the subject of so, so many movies and books. Nevertheless, Irish historian Gareth Russell thought there was more to tell. His new book, “The Ship of Dreams” looks at how the Titanic and its passengers reflected shifts happening at that moment in Britain and the US. The sinking of the Titanic was the end of an era. After the Titanic Sank, the International Ice Patrol Was Created (1:27:55)Guest: Kristen Serumgard, Commander of the International Ice PatrolAfter the sinking of the Titanic, the nations of the world created the International Ice Patrol. For a little more about how it works –and how the work has evolved since 1912, I spoke with Kristen Serumgard she's commander of the International Ice Patrol, which is a part of the US Coast Guard. We had this conversation last year. 

Eric Jensen, BYU J. Reuben Clark Law School, on the war in Afghanistan. Frank Infurna, Arizona State University, on adversity growth. Horace Dediu from the Micromobility and Critical Path podcasts on the future of micromobility. Author Gareth Russell on his book “The Ship of Dreams: The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era.” Kristen Serumgard, commander of the International Ice Patrol, on Ice Patrol's creation.

In this episode of the For Your Innovation Podcast, we chat with Horace Dediu of Asymco about his ideas on micromobility. With the unpredictable and burgeoning market that Horace is immersed in and fascinated by, there is so much to unpack and discuss in terms of possibilities and implications. This discussion offers a large array of thoughts and considerations for anyone connected to the future of transportation. It seems clear that micromobility will be a force to be reckoned with in the world of transit as well as in the global economy. Horace expertly explains many of his thoughts and goes into detail regarding possible permutations across the subject. We talk business models and industry comparisons, as well as looking at the key areas in which micromobility battles will be fought. For a detailed and horizon expanding conversation, be sure to tune in!

Recorded 4th March 2018 This week the tech news has mostly been all about the Mobile World Congress, and it wasn't very exciting to be fair – mostly seemed like a lot of people copying the “notch” they all made so much fun of... So for a bit of a different feel this week we are joined by the irrepressible and effervescent GazMaz from the MyMac show to take a look at the apparent “disturbance in the force” caused by the “sudden” arrival of Vero, the appearance of Micro.blog, and a couple of other upstarts wanting to take on the might of Twitter, Instagram, Snap and Facebook. Sorry some of the sound isn't as good as usual - we had some technical difficulties and went to Discord - but I don't think all our settings were as good as they could have been.

This week, we look at one of the new analyst models, and what they do, by way of Ben Thompson. Horace Dediu and RedMonk are other examples of this model, but Ben Thompson is the highest flying, most interesting practicer now. Ben's business model is pretty straight-forward: a partial paywall around his some of his weekly content, podcast sponsorships, and (maybe?) consulting.Also, the DC steak scene, BLT Steakhouse's odd way of cooking a steak.
