Elad Inbar
Founder & CEO of RobotLAB | Author of Our Robotics Future
Elad Inbar is a trailblazer in the world of robotics and automation. With over 17 years at the helm of RobotLAB—a company that’s deployed tens of thousands of robots across industries—Elad has become one of the most influential voices in tech-driven transformation. His book, Our Robotics Future, is a masterclass in how automation is reshaping everything from education and hospitality to healthcare and retail.
Under Elad’s leadership, RobotLAB pioneered the world’s first robotics franchise system, forged partnerships with giants like LG Electronics and SoftBank Robotics, and collaborated with hospitality titans including Hilton, Marriott, Disney, and Universal Studios. His mission? To make robots smarter, more accessible, and more human-friendly.
In this episode, Elad joins Mert & Lucas to explore the future of work, the ethics of AI, and how robotics can enhance—not replace—human potential. Expect a conversation that’s equal parts visionary and practical, with real-world examples and a few surprises from the front lines of tech.
Kevin McCulloughMedia Maverick | Energy Advocate
Nationally syndicated radio host Kevin McCullough is no stranger to controversy—or clarity. In his recent appearances on That Kevin Show and other media platforms, including our show, McCullough has taken aim at what he calls “the convenient lies” surrounding fossil fuels. He argues that the vilification of oil, coal, and natural gas ignores their role in reducing climate-related deaths and powering modern civilization.
McCullough also highlights Oilfacts.com, a new educational initiative designed to challenge mainstream narratives about energy. The site offers data-driven insights and common-sense perspectives that, according to McCullough, “climate crusaders work overtime to hide.” Whether you agree or disagree, his message is clear: the future of energy must be rooted in facts, not fear.

His holistic approach goes beyond clutter. Brandon’s team offers everything from move-management and home rehab to in-home assistance and healthy-home prep. He’s partnered with hospitals, elder care groups, and city governments to create solutions that are compassionate, effective, and deeply personal.
Raised on the South Side of Chicago and driven by a mission to serve, Brandon brings empathy, insight, and a touch of tough love to every situation. On Shake It Off, he’ll share stories from the field, tips for tackling emotional clutter, and why healing often starts with a single cleared corner.
