Episode #65: From Strawberries to Silicon Valley: The Origin Story of Atari’s Mindset
In this episode, Stewart Alsop II and Stewart Alsop III sit down with Nolan Bushnell and Brent Bushnell for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from Atari’s countercultural roots to the realities of entrepreneurship, tinkering with hardware and AI, the rise of gamified education, and the creative traditions passed through families. Together they explore how curiosity, culture, and hands-on making shaped early Silicon Valley—and how those same forces are reshaping learning, work, and innovation today.
