About this they don't talk: What happens when you have only 500 euros left and a bunch of deals in the air

▤ Summary

The episode features Marjan Šitnik, founder of Maritimo Recycling, who turned his background in fishing tours and beach cleanups into a startup that converts Adriatic plastic into products with global potential. He describes leaving a stable IT career, bootstrapping for years, and pushing the company forward with little cash on hand. He also explains how the team recycles ocean plastic into sunglasses and uses QR codes to show the origin and processing path of each product. The conversation closes with broader AI news, including Google’s expanding AI search overviews, AI-driven manuscript decryption, and the pope’s comments on AI regulation.
