Just Gonna Send It

Mike Burroughs, founder and creator of Stanceworks, joins Jim Belosic to talk about turning a passion for cars into a career built around creating and building. From starting Stanceworks as a car culture blog to making the jump to YouTube with a Honda swapped Ferrari 308, Mike shares the winding path that turned Stanceworks into what it is today.
They discuss what it takes to build ambitious cars while documenting the entire process, how Mike approaches sponsorships and running a business around content, and why taking big risks has been a recurring part of his journey. They talk about his Ferrari F40 project, the evolution of automotive content, and the lessons Mike has learned from spending more than 15 years building Stanceworks.

Keenan Wyrobek, Co-founder and CTO of Zipline, joins Jim Belosic to talk about building one of the world's largest autonomous drone delivery companies. From creating ROS, the open source robotics platform that transformed robotics development, to launching lifesaving medical deliveries in Rwanda, Keenan shares the winding path that led to Zipline.
They discuss how Zipline went from an idea to operating around the world, why rapid prototyping and relentless testing are at the core of building reliable products, and how focusing on the real customer problem helped shape every engineering decision along the way. The conversation also covers robotics, startups, and the lessons Keenan has learned from turning ambitious ideas into reality.

Matt Brown, better known as SuperfastMatt, joins Jim Belosic to talk about his unconventional path from delivering pizzas to becoming a mechanical engineer, working at Nascar, Tesla and Apple, to eventually building one of YouTube's favorite automotive channels.
Along the way, Matt shares stories from NASCAR, Formula SAE, Tesla, and some of the wild projects that have made his channel so popular. They get into engineering, fabrication, YouTube, creative problem solving, and why building real things teaches lessons you can't learn in a classroom. From his off road Dodge Viper to land speed racing and dreams of building an airplane, Matt explains how following whatever seems interesting has led to some pretty incredible opportunities and a lot of entertaining projects.

In this episode of Just Gonna Send It, Jim Belosic sits down with Barrett Ames, robotics engineer, startup founder, former NASA researcher, and CTO of REK, a humanoid robot fighting league inspired by Real Steel. Barrett shares his journey from building robots as a kid to working on NASA’s Valkyrie and Robonaut 2 projects, earning a PhD in AI and robotics at Duke, and launching startups focused on construction automation and entertainment robotics.
The conversation explores the realities of building hard tech, lessons learned from failed startups, the future of humanoid robots, and why competition and destruction might actually accelerate innovation. From DARPA challenges and space robotics to robot MMA fights in San Francisco, this episode is packed with stories about curiosity, risk taking, and learning through building.

Divya Thakur, founder of Yardbot, joins host Jim Belosic to discuss how he’s building a next-gen landscaping company powered by robotics. Instead of chasing full automation, Yardbot combines human crews with custom-built mowing robots to deliver better results at a lower cost.
Divya shares his journey from software engineering and finance to self-driving cars at Cruise, and how a failed Bitcoin startup taught him one of his biggest lessons: build for customers, not just cool tech. We get into the gritty reality of developing hardware, five generations of robot iterations, and what it takes to run a tech-driven business in a traditional industry.
