John and Micheál are the founders of Cropsafe- an AI and satellite-based farming solution. I was really excited to speak with them as they're two of the sharpest young minds I've ever had the pleasure to meet and they typify what I see as the next generation of young founders- educated, networked, and even funded over the internet thanks to things like Pioneer. In our wide-ranging conversation, we explore the Cropsafe story, the balance of innovation and globalisation, and how to maximise serendipity in your life- among other things. I was really inspired by this conversation and I hope you will be too.  Selected Links 🔗  cropsafe.io, Pioneer.app, AngelHack.com, blog.samaltman.com, danielgross.com, Mirr.ie, www.42.us.org, Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss, Principles by Ray Dalio   Timestamps 📍 @01:15 John and Micheál's Backgrounds @06:31 The evolution of Cropsafe @11:47 John and Micheál's experience on Pioneer @20:07 Innovation Vs Globalisation @22:50 What John learned from 42- a famously grueling coding bootcamp with no teachers. @28:06 The books that have had the biggest impact on John and Micheál @31:46 Advice for ambitious 17-year-olds @38:02 Getting in touch with hard-to-reach people
