Episode 10 - Yariv Bash | From the Moon to Your Front Door What does it take to move an idea from imagination to real-world operation? In this episode, Shay Senior sits down with Yariv Bash , co-founder of SpaceIL and CEO of Flytrex , one of the first companies in the world approved to operate commercial drone deliveries to residential homes in the United States. Yariv shares the journey from helping lead Israel’s first private mission to the Moon, to building the infrastructure behind autonomous aerial delivery, working with both DoorDash and Uber Eats, navigating regulation, scale, and public trust. This conversation isn’t about specs or hype. It’s about how ideas are born, tested, and transformed when they meet reality. In this episode, we talk about: • What SpaceIL taught Yariv about ambition, failure, and resilience • Why Flytrex chose to build drone delivery step by step, in the real world • The challenges of operating autonomous systems at scale • How regulation, safety, and public perception shape innovation • Why big dreams don’t end, they evolve A thoughtful conversation about leadership, persistence, and building the future — one decision at a time.
