47. Grant Romundt: How Ocean Builders is Creating the Future of Floating Cities and Underwater Living
Recording 11 meters underwater surrounded by hundreds of fish wasn't exactly what I planned when I started this podcast. But here I am, sitting in Grant Romundt's revolutionary SeaPod off the coast of Panama, discovering how Ocean Builders is solving humanity's space crisis one floating home at a time.
Grant's vision is simple yet mind-blowing: instead of destroying marine habitats, why not create them? Every SeaPod becomes an artificial reef, turning empty ocean into thriving ecosystems. With smart toilets that work better than most land-based systems, AI brains cooled by liquid, and jet ski elevators that sound straight out of The Jetsons, these aren't just homes - they're glimpses into how we might live when floating cities become as normal as suburbs.
The best part? Grant believes we'll see entire floating cities within 10 years. And after spending time in this underwater room watching fish swim by my window, I'm starting to think the ocean might just be humanity's next frontier.
