Ep. 31 | Krisztina ‘Z’ Holly | Entrepreneur, Adventurer, & Creator of the 1st TEDx | Live from Los Angeles, CA

Pubcast Worldwide

Krisztina ‘Z’ Holly seems to have done it all when it comes to tech, manufacturing, and adventuring. Though she goes by many titles – innovator, engineer, advisor, podcast host – her experiences and ability to help others utilize their “undiscovered talent” to make an impact are what really set her apart.

While Z’s accomplishments include creating the first TEDx events, founding innovation centers at both MIT and USC, and working with multiple successful tech startups (and that’s just scratching the surface), she’s currently putting her energy into her maker-focused podcast “The Art of Manufacturing” and her role as the “Chief Instigator” for MAKE IT IN LA, Mayor Garcetti's non-profit initiative aimed at growing the manufacturing ecosystem in the Los Angeles region.

Z and I met up in L.A. to shoot a manufacturing-related video on the beach, and we ended up recording a Pubcast as well! Z takes us through numerous stories that illustrate her career, as well as her approach to failure and being open to new experiences. We even tap into her adventurous side as we discuss scuba diving, rock climbing, and exploring the diverse food scene across L.A.
