In this podcast, Randy tells the story of all the previous seasteading attempts that were necessary to reach the point where we are now, after having signed an agreement with a national government to build the Floating Island Project.  Introduction to Randy & Seasteading [00:00] Randy Hencken is the co-founder and managing director of Blue Frontiers as well as managing director of the seasteading institute which is the non-profit company that is building the floating island project. Randy started in 2011 and within a year became the executive director and for complicated, legal reasons – is now the managing director. Seasteading is a plan to develop new communities, new cities and new nations at sea that float and are modular, can grow organically and allow people opportunities to explore new forms of society that cannot exist in land based communities. Birth of the name for “Blue Frontiers” and it being a non-profit [03:20] Nathalie and Randy talk about “Blue Frontiers” being a non-profit that has somehow gotten funding despite the large sums of money required for the project. They explain that the name “Blue Frontiers was thought of by another co-founder Ian Raijicov who wanted to stress the opportunity the sea possesses.
