Published: Aug. 2, 2018, 5:36 p.m.

In this episode we speak with Yariv Bash, co-founder and CEO of Flytrex, a leading consumer drone company and founder of Space IL - an Israeli non-profit that in December 2018 will launch a spaceship to the moon making Israel the 4th nation to land a spaceship on the moon.\n\nListen on RealLifeSuperPowers website: https://reallifesuperpowers.com/podcast/yariv-bash-flytrex/\n\nYariv is always in motion, he always has something he\u2019s working on, he\u2019s persistent and an endless optimist (which is probably his superpower). He\u2019s taken on the most ambitious projects with a goal of influencing entire generations and making a dent in the world. He lives to solve problems and he believes he can take on almost anything , especially if it\u2019s a challenge that was solved before.\n\nWith respect to landing a spaceship on the moon, I asked him, how did you gain that confidence? How did you know? I mean you must have had some doubts..\n\nHis answer teaches a lot of his relentless mindset \u201cSo, it\u2019s a problem that has been solved on a bigger scale with more funds nonetheless, but still, the first time it was solved was back in the sixties...\u201d\n\nI interrupt \u201cyeah, solved by countries\u201d but he doesn\u2019t get confused \u201cyou know, the difference between individuals and countries is always shrinking\u201d\n\nWe learned that one of the keys to success is to believe to the verge of stupidity and despite other people\u2019s skepticism BUT to always validate and have a plan b (and c, and d)\n\n\u201cI found myself surrounded by people who don\u2019t think anything can stop them\u201d. What a magnificent state of mind. We know we\u2019re going to work on this attitude. We hope listening to him will help you too.\n\nYou can follow Yariv\u2019s work on:\nhttp://flytrex.com/ and\nhttp://www.spaceil.com/\n\nZooming out, if you like listening to this podcast, make sure to subscribe so you don\u2019t miss new conversations with peak performers, serving as a reminder we can all tap into the best versions of ourselves.\n\nYou\u2019re also welcome to follow Ronen and Noa on Linkedin\n\u2022\tRonen Menipaz on Linkedin\n\u2022\tNoa Eshed on Linkedin \n\nAnd if we may ask for a favor - please leave us a review on your native podcast app.\n\nSome further resources:\n\u2022\tReal Life Superpowers podcast on Ctech\n\u2022\tThe podcast website
