Ep 146. Life-Saving Ocean Tech & Big Wave Surfing Innovation | Dr. Rob Yonover on Shark Tank & DARPA Backed

What if your boredom was the key to your next big idea?

I spoke to a man who’s stood on volcanoes, fought for patents, and invented a device that’s saved lives at sea.

Dr. Robert Yonover is a volcanologist, geochemist — and accidental entrepreneur. But his most powerful tool isn’t tech. It’s creativity.

You see, he didn’t invent ocean rescue tech because he wanted to be famous. He did it because he survived a harrowing moment where he almost didn’t come home.

In our conversation, he reminded me of something important:

Boredom is a gateway to invention.
And creativity is not just for kids.

We talked on:

How a brush with death at sea led to a global invention
What AI, survival, and kids’ boredom have in common
The secret to long-game innovation that most quitters miss
Why creativity is the ultimate leadership skill
The childhood mindset that even CEOs need to re-learn
What nature can teach us about solving real-world problems
How Dr. Yonover’s streamer device saves lives — and why it almost didn’t get made

If you’ve ever stared at a blank page, hit a wall, or felt the tug of a crazy idea you’re not sure is worth chasing — this one’s for you.
