Humanoids, War, and the Future of Human Work; Mike LeBlanc | With Amb. Elisha

On this visionary episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha welcomes Mike LeBlanc—Marine Corps veteran turned robotics founder—for a powerful conversation about leadership, technology, and the future of human labor.

After 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and multiple deployments, Mike transitioned into tech, earning his degree from Harvard University before co-founding Cobalt Robotics and later launching Foundation, a company building humanoid robots designed to transform industries.

In this episode, they explore:

• How the Marines “weaponized shame” to build resilience and character

• The difficult transition from military structure to startup creativity

• Why embodied AI is the biggest shift in robotics history

• Whether humanoid robots are a threat—or a breakthrough for humanity

• How robotics could eliminate exploitative labor worldwide

Mike shares a bold perspective: robots won’t just replace tasks—they’ll unlock entirely new possibilities humanity hasn’t imagined yet.

This episode challenges listeners to think beyond fear and into responsibility, innovation, and long-term impact.
