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.

Recorded live on the floor of Verticon 2026 — the world's premier rotorcraft event — this episode puts you inside three of the most important conversations happening at the intersection of traditional aviation and Advanced Air Mobility.
— How Bristow Group views eVTOL as an expansion of rotorcraft operations, not a replacement — and what turnkey operational solutions look like in practice with Mandy Nelson of Bristow Group at the Vertical Aerospace booth
— Why Eve Air Mobility's helicopter operator customer base is its strongest competitive differentiator, and how firm funded order conversions are progressing with Megha Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer of Eve Air Mobility
— The certification pathway differences between FAA Part 23/27, EASA SC-VTOL, and UK CAA frameworks — and why flying over schools and villages in the UK creates safety documentation requirements that are generating invaluable early learning for the entire industry
A note on production quality: Nicolas's video camera and external microphone both failed on the day of recording. This episode was shot on a phone. The audio and video quality is not up to our usual standard and we sincerely apologize for that.
