The Real Challenge Isn't Starting.

Starting is easy. Continuing is the hard part. This talk is about how building in public and open sourcing your work creates the accountability loop that keeps you going — even when motivation dies. I'll walk through my own journey from a struggling robotics team at 15 to building Inhabit, an open-source humanoid robot teleoperation platform, and how AI tools made it possible to ship something real as basically one person in college. If you've ever started a project and stopped, this talk is for you.
