Building The Impossible with Jocelyn Houle and Jim Anderson

Building the Impossible is the podcast for technical founders and innovation leaders who are obsessed with one big question: how do we get really big ideas from lab to launch?

Hosted by Jocelyn Houle—Tech lead, founder, and investor—this show uncovers the stories behind transformational products and the people who build them. We explore the hard-fought paths from prototype to product for technical founders in energy, space, data, AI and frontier tech.

In this episode, Jocelyn speaks with Jim Anderson, of Whisker Labs and author of Good Enough for the Climate. Jim explains how Ting, a smart home sensor powered by AI and real-time cloud analysis, is helping prevent electrical fires in homes while also supplying critical intelligence to modernize the national electric grid.

From personal safety to climate resilience, this conversation reveals how deep tech and mission-driven entrepreneurship can power change at scale.
