Inside Rivian: A Conversation with CEO RJ Scaringe | Ep. 54
Thursday, 28 September, 2023
In today's episode, Blake and Will travel to Normal, Illinois to sit down and have a conversation with Rivian's founder and CEO, RJ Scaringe, at Rivian's manufacturing plant. Rivian is an electric vehicle company that currently produces two consumer vehicles- an electric pickup truck (the R1T) and a seven-passenger electric SUV (the R1S). RJ has built Rivian from the ground up and has turned Rivian into one of the largest EV companies in the world with over 15,000 employees. In this episode, we discuss Rivian's origin, RJ's motivations, his visionary mindset, product philosophy, and so much more. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to see if we can stump him with some trivia! Enjoy. This conversation was recorded in July 2023.
