The Ways We Move +
THE WAYS WE MOVE + — Season 2 🚀
The podcast for professionals who need to understand where mobility is actually going — not where the press releases say it is.
Hosted by Nicolas Zart — Mobility Futurist, Strategic Intelligence Lead, and 20-year veteran of electric mobility and Advanced Air Mobility — The Ways We Move goes one layer deeper than mainstream coverage.
Each episode features unfiltered primary-source conversations with the founders, CEOs, engineers, DoD program leads, and infrastructure developers who are doing the real work.
No hype. No headlines recycled. Just the signal.
What we cover:
- Advanced Air Mobility — eVTOL certification, infrastructure, capital risk, and the OEM landscape
- Hydrogen and alternative propulsion — the real engineering trade-offs, not the talking points
- Electric mobility across air, land, and sea
- Emerging defense and dual-use aviation technology
- The business models, financial structures, and policy frameworks that determine what actually gets built
Who listens: Capital allocators, project finance professionals, infrastructure developers, aviation executives, DoD program leads, policy analysts, and anyone making decisions that depend on knowing what's real in advanced mobility.
Why subscribe: Because the gap between what gets announced and what actually happens is where the most important intelligence lives. Nicolas has spent 20 years finding that gap — and talking directly to the people on both sides of it.
Early access subscribers hear every episode 48 hours before public release. Back catalog subscribers get access to the full archive of primary-source conversations — one of the most concentrated records of advanced mobility intelligence available anywhere.
