I was going to charge for this, but f*** it.
My team just put together a 40+ page report of everything we’re seeing right now in the small biz economy.
What’s inside:
→ Real market data on SBA lending
→ Business buyer demand trends
→ Data on the ownership succession gap
→ An inside look at what small businesses are doing with AI right now
We’ve spent months doing hundreds of surveys and interviewing dozens of owners to put this together.
Now it’s yours for free.
Just:
1. Like this post
2. Comment “SMB”
And I’ll send it over.
(Make sure you’re following me so I can DM you.)

Hey folks, a quick update: I'm pausing the Audrow Nash Podcast indefinitely—no plans to restart right now.
Life's been tough with our <1-year-old bringing joy (and chaos), my dad's sudden passing, and a messy probate. It's just too much to juggle.
Thanks for all the support and great convos. Hope to reconnect someday! 🙏

What if robots stopped doing just the simple stuff and started tackling the most important jobs on the planet?
I talk with Fred Parietti (@FredParietti), Co-founder and CEO of Multiply Labs (@multiplylabs), about how advanced robotics are reshaping the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing by automating high-value, life-saving tasks.

Why do so many robots have legs? Is the humanoid form just hype or does physics demand it?
I talk with Pras Velagapudi, CTO of Agility Robotics (@agilityrobotics), about how real-world engineering and practical constraints led their team to design a two-legged robot that’s built for actual work—not just to look cool.
You'll like this interview if you’re curious about why robot shapes matter, how automation meets the real world, or what it really takes to build a useful robot.

@audrow @agilityrobotics Great listen, just finished. On the data side he is right. But we are solving the lack of it.
English

@RaulAutomates @agilityrobotics It was interesting to me to see how the problems they're solving set their robot's shape. I didn't expect it was so pragmatic.

Great topic! 🤖🦿 The question of form vs. function in robotics is critical — legs aren’t just about looking human, they often solve real challenges in navigating environments designed for people. Agility’s approach shows how engineering choices are driven by physics, practicality, and the realities of work, not just hype. ⚡
Looking forward to listening — always exciting to hear insights from those pushing robotics into the real world. 🚀

How does @jonesbrannon from @alley_corp think about humanoids?
🔊 "That's a pretty low bar" 😂
English

@chris_j_paxton I think this is right.
It will also shift people into doing tasks that are harder to automate, of which there are plenty
English

Robots will be working alongside humans for a variety of tasks long before they replace people.

How can 🤖 learn from human workers to provably reduce their workload in factories? Our latest @RoboticsSciSys paper answers this question by proposing the first cost-optimal interactive learning (COIL) algorithm for multi-task collaboration.

What’s the real value of robotics today? Are we missing the biggest opportunities by chasing hype?
I talk with Stefan Seltz-Axmacher (@stefanesa), CEO & Co-Founder of Polymath Robotics (@polymathrobots), and Ilia Baranov (@IliaBaranov), Co-Founder & CTO, about why the most impactful robotics work isn’t always the flashiest—and how their modular autonomy stack is quietly transforming industries like mining, agriculture, and logistics.
You'll like this interview if you want to hear how robotics is actually solving labor shortages, why “boring” automation often creates the most value, and what it takes to build a sustainable robotics business in a world obsessed with viral demos.
