This week we sit down with Ben Kellie, CEO & co-founder of Applied Atomics, and formerly a lead engineer at SpaceX.
Ben believes something simple and profound: energy is the single biggest unlock for humanity.
If we solve clean, stable, abundant power, we can unleash progress in food, housing, manufacturing, materials science – even the technologies we haven’t invented yet.
Applied Atomics is building that future through small nuclear reactors, combining proven engineering with a level of execution discipline Ben honed during his years landing rockets at SpaceX.
But this conversation goes far beyond nuclear.
- We talk about:
- Why energy scarcity is the bottleneck to global progress
- How small reactors can strengthen local communitie
- The reality of burnout – and what SpaceX taught Ben about limits, purpose and resilience
- The myth vs. the truth of “genius CEOs,” and why companies are built by teams, not figureheads
- How to recognise when you’re doing your “greatest work” – and the courage to trust your intuition
This is a conversation about energy, but also about meaning, ambition and the art of navigating a life you actually want to live.
