Brass Tacks: Ideas in Adaptive Infrastructure

Hosted by Will Robertson, Brass Tacks: Ideas in Adaptive Infrastructure pulls up a chair at the table where practical business meets the future of our physical world. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a grounded conversation focused on the systems-from energy grids to logistics networks-that are being reshaped by necessity and innovation. Robertson, drawing from his role at Quintana Infrastructure & Development, brings on engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, and field experts who are actively building and financing these changes. In each episode, you'll hear a deep, unvarnished dive into how these professionals assess risk, spot opportunity, and navigate the complex realities of bringing an adaptive infrastructure project to life. The discussions naturally explore the tangible ideas and potential investments that emerge from this frontier, cutting through the noise to examine what actually works. For anyone in business, entrepreneurship, or investing with an eye on the foundational assets that enable modern society, this podcast provides a rare, insider's perspective on the mechanics of progress. Tune in for candid talks that always get down to the brass tacks.
