In this episode of The Stash Cast, we sit down with the ever-evolving polymath Yuri Cataldo — research scientist at Autodesk, venture capitalist, author, and former costume designer — to explore the art of reinvention and the science of staying ahead in an AI-driven world.
From designing Broadway costumes and founding an award-winning bottled water company, to building innovation ecosystems at Autodesk and launching a venture capital fund, Yuri shares an incredible journey shaped by resilience, curiosity, and strategic thinking. We discuss how he reverse engineers competitive strategies, identifies early tech trends, and applies creative thinking to build real-world solutions in business, academia, and beyond.
