Daniel Kofman: Challenges in Solar, Ethics in Defense Tech, Spirituality in Science, and the Paradoxes in Human Nature
In this episode of Floating Questions, we sit down with Daniel Kofman, a serial entrepreneur who co-founded a solar panel company and started a defense technology startup recently, with a lifelong fascination for defense technology - rooted in his mother’s passion for martial arts.
Daniel shares insights on the largest challenges in solar deployment, his ethical approach to choosing the defense technology he works on, tales from securing funding, and methods for identifying trustworthy investors. Together, we explore the intriguing inconsistencies and consistencies in all of us: the push and pull between seeking certainty and unpredictability, risk and safety, and how, in any given moment, a person’s values often reflect across all areas of their life.
Tune in for an exploration of ethics, innovation, and the dualities we all navigate, with Daniel’s unique perspective as our guide.
