Boz To The Future #26: The Future According to Ed Catmull

In the latest episode of Boz To The Future, Meta CTO, Head of ATA and Reality Labs, and host Andrew "Boz" Bosworth talks to Ed Catmull—co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, former president of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Turing Award laureate, and author of the bestselling book Creativity, Inc. Catmull spent 20 years turning an impossible dream—making a feature film entirely with computers—into reality with Toy Story. Along the way, he invented foundational computer graphics techniques, built one of the most innovative companies in entertainment history, and worked alongside Steve Jobs for over two decades. Together, they explore how Catmull built a culture of sustained creativity at Pixar, the mechanics of the Braintrust, why failure is an investment and not a verdict, and the real Steve Jobs that most people never got to see. They also discuss what the intersection of technology and art means for the future of creative tools and AI. Leave Boz feedback on Instagram, X, and Threads @boztank
