On the latest episode of Inspired, Alexa von Tobel interviews BrightAI CEO Alex Hawkinson about building companies that reshape how the world works—from SmartThings to BrightAI, and his mission to bring Physical AI to essential industries like HVAC, utilities, and more.
They discuss why Inspired Capital chose to invest, what lies ahead for BrightAI, and, in a more personal moment, how Alex handles stress, stays grounded, and the kindest thing anyone’s ever done for him.
