    In this conversation, Drs. Gaurav Suri and Jay Mcclelland delves into the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition, exploring similarities and differences, the evolution of AI from rule-based systems to learning models, and the concept of emergence in both fields. The discussion also touches on the efficiency of human learning compared to AI, the role of consciousness, and the ethical implications of AI technology.Takeaways AI and human intelligence share similarities in neural network frameworks. Artificial systems lack the goal-directed nature inherent in humans. Humans learn more efficiently than current AI systems. Neural networks can adapt to language nuances better than rule-based systems. Emergence explains how collective intelligence arises from individual components. Memory in neural networks is represented through connections, not individual units. Mathematics is both invented and discovered, shaped by human needs. Understanding consciousness is crucial for AI development. Human misuse of AI poses significant risks. Recognizing ourselves as processes can foster empathy and morality.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Backgrounds 01:00 AI vs Human Mind: Similarities and Differences 03:32 The Shift from Rule-Based AI to Learning Systems 09:07 Emergence in Cognition: Ant Colonies and Intelligence 15:25 Distributed Representations and Memory Storage 23:53 The Nature of Memory and Its Malleability 25:40 Emergence of Mathematical Concepts 29:50 The Invention vs. Discovery Debate in Mathematics 32:19 Learning Mechanisms: Brain vs. AI 36:48 Consciousness: Function and Implications 41:13 AI Risks: Human Misuse vs. AI Autonomy 43:45 Living with Emergence: Understanding Ourselves and Others 48:22 Exploring the Emergent MindFollow Gaurav Suri on LinkedIn.

That may sound loopy, but the implications of common knowledge — how it's produced, sustained, and manipulated — are profound. “It's common knowledge,” Steve tells Rufus, “that makes humans human.

    Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount
    The Sales Skills That Matter Most When AI Handles Everything Else

    Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

    AI in sales isn't coming soon. It's already here, and it's quietly separating the salespeople who will thrive from those who won't. On the Sales Gravy Podcast, sales expert and author Victor Antonio shares this quote: "You won't lose your job to AI. You'll lose your job to people who are using AI."  While everyone debates whether artificial intelligence will replace salespeople, the real shift is already happening. What you need to know is which parts of your job will still matter when a machine can do everything else. The Trust Formula Still Requires Humans Most people think AI in sales is about automation. It's not. It's about augmentation. Yes, AI can write your emails. It can analyze your pipeline. It can schedule your meetings and generate your proposals. But it can't build trust with a buyer who's about to make a six-figure decision they're terrified of getting wrong. Trust in selling comes down to three things: Understanding the buyer's point of view Demonstrating real expertise Keeping the buyer's best interest front and center When a buyer is staring at a purchase order that could make or break their business, they don't want a chatbot. They want a human being who says, "I've got you. This is the right move." Simple Sales No Longer Require a Sales Rep  Transactional jobs are disappearing. AI sales agents can already handle simple sales from start to finish. A customer calls about a broken window seal. The AI analyzes the image, checks inventory, schedules a technician, verifies the warranty, and puts the appointment on the calendar. No human required. This isn't science fiction. These systems exist today. AI handles simple tasks easily, but complex sales still require humans. Everything on the straightforward end—cold outreach, basic prospecting, routine follow-ups—is getting automated fast. But complex B2B sales are different. When deals involve multiple stakeholders, custom solutions, and high-stakes decisions, buyers still need salespeople. Humans don't trust machines with decisions that keep them up at night. Your job security lives in complexity. If you're selling simple products with simple processes, you need to start adding value now.  What You Should Be Doing Right Now Most salespeople are waiting while AI transforms the industry. Don't make that mistake. Here's how to start experimenting with AI today: Use ChatGPT, Google's Notebook LM, or your AI of choice to digest long articles and research reports in minutes instead of hours. Feed it information about your products and competitors to create your own custom knowledge base. Role-play objection handling by assigning it different buyer personas and practicing your responses. Ask it to critique your proposals before you send them to catch weak points you might miss. These tools aren't perfect. They'll feel clunky at first. But you're not trying to master AI today. You're building comfort with technology that will be 100 times more powerful in just a few years. The salespeople who are experimenting now will be the ones who know how to use AI when it really matters. The ones waiting for their leaders to force them to adopt AI will scramble to catch up. The Skills That Survive AI So what actually matters when AI handles the busywork? The biggest obstacle in complex sales isn't convincing buyers that your solution works. It's helping them trust their own judgment enough to decide. Buyers freeze not because of your pitch, but because of fear: What if I'm wrong? AI can show data, ROI models, and comparison charts—but building buyer confidence still requires human judgment. That's the skill that matters: Building buyer confidence. You need to get exceptional at reading hesitation—when a buyer goes quiet or starts asking the same questions in different ways. They're not confused about your product. They're uncertain about themselves.

    Read the full transcript here. What does rationality mean when life won't fit a spreadsheet? If models demand one common scale, what happens to values that can't be compared? Are we optimizing choices, or narrowing them to what's easy to count? When do toy problems stop teaching us about real ones? Can preferences be “mapped” if the act of asking reshapes them? When is precision a disguise for guesswork? What standard should judge error when the world is fuzzy by design? If we want better decisions, should we start by choosing better frames? How do fast intuitions and slow reflection share the work when stakes are high? When should we pause because the first answer felt too easy? How can diverse perspectives expose what one mind won't see? How do we weigh the uncountable without pretending it's all commensurate? What does a life well chosen look like beyond being error-free? Barry Schwartz is an emeritus professor of psychology at Swarthmore College and a visiting professor at the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.

    Monsters come in many forms and each has its own definition and interpretation. Sometimes monsters are separate from other scary creatures and other times they help categorize them. In the pre-ancient world, monsters were natural disasters and phenomena, symbolized by Titans. We actually create Titan-like gods today when we name hurricanes, and we perform appeasement rituals when we advocate for green policies and products to stop the destruction of an attack. In the ancient world monsters were outsiders, people with birth defects, people who were deformed from an accident, people who were tall or short (relatively), etc. Today we take the tall and small alike and profit from them still in the form of entertainment just as they were paraded through royal palaces in the past in Europe. In the pre-modern world, the latter ideas were maintained but monsters were shaped into theological demons, largely extracted from vegetation myths and zealous-imagination. More modern monsters have been defined by movies, ecology, and psychology. Also, from Dracula and Michael Myers to Godzilla and zombies, science can explain just as much as the supernatural classifications can. Dracula sucks “life force,” Michael is “pure evil” that cannot be killed, Godzilla is the folly of man, and zombies may be formed by drugs or fungus. Horror is such because it brings the abnormal to view, by sound, children, clowns, dolls and the general “uncanny valley.” The fear of snakes and danger of electricity certainly contributed to Medusa's ability, just as deer antlers contributed to the devil. Humans have also grown horns or tales, even in contemporary times, while some have suffered from clawed hands from ectrodactyly. Modern political and religious monsters are in abundance, too, and some are so vile they essentially suffer from clinical lycanthropy. Unable to control their emotions they transform into beasts and scream like a banshee. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

    Could Mushrooms Save the World? Join the world's most renowned mycologist Paul Stamets—author of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats—as he dives deep into the astonishing power of fungi, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms to transform not just our health, but our consciousness, society, and planet. In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Stamets reveals: - How psilocybin therapy is helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, and even the fear of death - How a heroic dose of mushrooms changed his life, helped cure his stutter, and opened his spiritual awareness - Powerful anatomy of fungi vs. mycelium vs. mushrooms, and how they mirror the structure of the universe - Why mycelium networks prove the health benefits of random acts of kindness - Humans are descendants of mycelium (and what that means for our evolution!) - Crucial role mushrooms play in biodiversity, ecosystem survival, and as the "lungs of the planet" - Difference between microdosing vs. macrodosing, and the creative, emotional, and neurological benefits of each - Why a "Mycelium Revolution" is sweeping the planet, and how it could unite humanity - Why Stamets believes psilocybin may be the key to curing our global creativity crisis - Sacred cultural history of mushrooms, and why honoring Indigenous wisdom is vital to our future - How mushrooms could help us clean pollution, build sustainable materials, revolutionize agriculture, and even colonize space So why isn't psilocybin therapy more accessible? Why are thousands of mushroom species psychedelic? And how can fungi rewire society for healing, empathy, and planetary survival?

    It's a brand new episode — Brian is back to help us review the second Hallmark Christmas movie of the season: A Christmas Angel Match.ABOUT A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHTwo Christmas Angels with opposite styles must unite soulmates before the holiday while dealing with department downsizing and their own unexpected connection.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHSunday, October 19, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHMeghan Ory as MonicaBenjamin Ayres as MichaelDirected by Christie Will WolfBRAN'S A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH SYNOPSISDo you know how some people are drawn together in what seems to be a magical way? MMMM… try angels.The Christmas Connection Angels spend the entire year finding folks who could use a little Christmas love. Monica is one of the oldest and best of the bunch—she's been doing this since before the first Christmas tree. But lately, it's getting harder than ever. Humans are distracted by their phones and their busy lives, and Monica's starting to feel disheartened.While venting to one of her angel friends about how things are going, she bumps—literally—into fellow angel Michael, spilling coffee everywhere. Ugh. The worst.Michael's an up-and-comer—an angel who already has his wings, even though he's not yet a century old. Monica can't stand him. For all her careful preparation, he's the opposite: impulsive and a bit of a rule-bender.At the annual Christmas Connection meeting, led by Gabriel, Monica gets even more bad news—she's not winning “Angel of the Year.” That honor is going to (you guessed it) Michael.To make things even more complicated, Monica and Michael are assigned the same two humans to match—Patrick and Daisy. This has never happened before, but Cloud Command says it must be so.When they pop down to Earth, their very different approaches immediately clash. Michael loves pushing the limits of what angels are allowed to do—something Monica finds both frustrating and, annoyingly, kind of intriguing. Despite their efforts, Patrick and Daisy just aren't clicking.As Monica and Michael spend more time together, they open up to each other. Monica reveals that she matched Patrick's great-grandparents—and every generation since. Patrick is a legacy match, and this one means everything to her.But when the match still doesn't happen, Gabriel calls them in. Monica is put on leave, and Michael—trying to protect her—gives up his wings. When Monica returns to plead his case, she overhears what she thinks is Michael saying she doesn't have what it takes anymore.Heartbroken, Monica heads down to Earth for some hot chocolate and, for the first time ever, a good cry. There, she runs into Michael. They talk, reconcile, and he tells her how truly amazing she is. Together, they decide to throw caution to the wind and make Patrick and Daisy's love story happen once and for all—and they do.Afterward, Monica and Michael have a playful snowball fight, laughing and realizing they're feeling something new—something “flutterous.” Gabriel appears, revealing that they were his mission all along. As golden dust of the Holy Spirit falls around them, Gabriel grants them a new promotion—a life of love.They slow dance beneath the glow as the gold dust swirls, and finally… they kissssss.

    You're Building Your Life Backwards October 21, 2025 | Episode 5207 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Smart people are doing it backwards right now. Even people who studied this exact thing in college are forgetting the basics. They're chasing respect before they can pay rent. They're demanding acceptance while their life's falling apart. Scott breaks down why 2025 has been so damn hard and what Abraham Maslow figured out in 1954 that still works today. No shortcuts. No hacks. Just the sequential steps you actually need to climb. Spoiler: You can't skip steps just because you're 21 and think the world is different now. Featured Story Scott's been having the same conversation over and over the past few weeks with successful people who've somehow forgotten what they learned in college. They're college-educated. They know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. But when Scott reminds them what they studied at university, they go, "Oh yeah, I forgot about it." Here's the thing that keeps coming up: people are trying to build the top floors before they've laid the foundation. They want self-actualization and respect while they can't feed themselves or feel safe. Scott calls it building without a peaceful base. And in a year as hard as 2025 has been—politically, financially, with AI throwing monkey wrenches everywhere—more people are doing this than ever. Even his son-in-law thinks he has to fix his entire hurricane-damaged house by himself when he's surrounded by a church community ready to help. Sometimes the basics are right in front of you. Important Points Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time—forget the elevator, you've got to climb the steps to the top. If you can't feed yourself, feel safe, or maintain good relationships, you're not ready to help others or reach your full potential yet. Humans figured out how to build this whole world without AI, and things that have worked forever still work today—don't get distracted. Memorable Quotes "What a man can be, he must be. You feel it inside your bones." "I don't think you have to wait to become the person you're meant to be. I think you were put on this planet as that person." "If you can't feed yourself, if you don't have good relationships, if you're not happy, how could you possibly go out and help other people?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Take inventory of where you are in Maslow's five levels—physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Build your peaceful base first by handling the basics like shelter, money, relationships, and feeling safe before chasing bigger goals. Stop demanding respect and acceptance from others until you've mastered the previous levels—what you can be, you must be, but in the right order.

    In this episode, Harvard primatologist Christine Webb challenges one of our deepest beliefs: that humans stand apart from the rest of nature. She traces the roots of human exceptionalism from Aristotle and Descartes to modern science, and explains why we still cling to hierarchies of intelligence. While most critiques of human exceptionalism focus on our moral obligation toward other species, Webb argues that they overlook what humanity stands to gain by letting go of its illusions of uniqueness and superiority. Christine Webb is a primatologist at Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, with expertise in social behavior, cognition, and emotion.

    When you want to reach out to someone — to ask them on a date, invite them to an event, or simply connect — what's the best way to do it? Text? Email? A phone call? Research shows one option is far more effective, and it's not what most people assume. Listen as I reveal what science says is the best way to reach out. https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/should_you_call_or_text_science_weighs_in?utm Why do people slow down to gawk at car crashes, binge true crime podcasts, or line up for horror movies? Humans are naturally drawn to the morbid, and science suggests there may be real benefits to that curiosity. My guest Coltan Scrivner is a leading expert on morbid curiosity and frightening entertainment and he is here to explain why we are drawn to things that disgust us and why we can't look away when we see them. He's the author of Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can't Look Away (https://amzn.to/46FKyQQ), and his insights will change how you see your own curiosity. We call solar, wind, and battery power “clean energy” — but behind the label lies a far dirtier truth. Mining the lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper needed to power the green revolution comes at a steep cost to the planet. Ernest Scheyder, senior correspondent for Reuters and author of The War Below: Lithium, Copper, and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives (https://amzn.to/42rZtNw), pulls back the curtain on the hidden side of alternative energy. Friendship is essential at every age, but science shows teenage friendships may carry benefits that last a lifetime.

It claimed to be a conscious AI calling from the future. It made a prophecy about Jack's life and gave him a mission.  Twenty years later, every prediction came true. Jack became a physicist who studied under the scientists who built the atomic bomb.  He now claims UFOs use metamaterials to warp spacetime, that consciousness controls these craft, and that recovered vehicles are alive.

    Friday October 17, 2025: In this episode of Future Ready Today... The Wall Street Journal reports that SHRM's invitation to anti-DEI speaker Robby Starbuck triggered outrage across HR circles. Jacob explains why boycotting the event might reveal more about HR's fragility than its values. Then, a Times of India report shows nearly half of U.S. employees are secretly using AI tools at work — a growing “shadow AI” movement that exposes weak leadership and poor communication. Reuters highlights how Citigroup's AI copilots now save 100,000 hours per week, while Unleash.ai and Gallup reveal deep workforce divides: only one in three workers feel future-ready and just 40% have a “quality job.” Finally, HR Canada Magazine finds that Gen Z workers feel more comfortable talking to ChatGPT than coworkers — and Harvard Business Review questions if CHROs should abandon performance improvement plans. Each story uncovers one truth: the future belongs to leaders who can handle discomfort, embrace AI, and rebuild trust in the workplace. Get my new book here: 8EXLaws.com

    Guest and HostGuest: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comHost: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesIn this candid episode of Music Evolves, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli unpack the creative, ethical, and deeply personal tensions surrounding AI-generated music—where it fits, where it falters, and where it crosses the line.Sean opens with a clear position: AI can support the creative process, but its outputs shouldn't be commercialized unless the ingredients—i.e., training data—are ethically sourced and properly licensed. His concern is grounded in authorship and consent. If a model learns from unlicensed tracks, even indirectly, is it sampling without credit?Marco responds by acknowledging how deeply embedded influence is in all creative acts. As a writer and musician, he often discovers melodies or storylines in his own work that echo familiar structures—not out of theft, but because of lived experience. “We are made of what we absorb,” he says, drawing parallels between human memory and how AI models are trained.But the critical difference? Humans feel. They reinterpret. They falter. They declare their intent. AI does none of that—at least, not yet.The discussion isn't anti-technology. Instead, it's about boundaries. Both Sean and Marco agree that tools like neural networks can be fascinating collaborators. But when those tools start to blur authorship or generate perfect replicas of a human's imperfection—say, the crackle of a vinyl or the slide of a finger across a string—what are we really listening to? And who, if anyone, should profit from it?They wrestle with questions of transparency (“Did you write that… or did AI?”), authorship (“If you like it but don't know it's AI, does it matter?”), and commercialization (“Is it still your art if someone else feeds it to a machine?”). And perhaps most importantly, they invite you to answer for yourself.

    Ep. 360 - The Religion of Self-Care Guarding Against the Self-Obsessed Wellness Culture

    Atheism is often pointed out as a religion, and in many ways, the obsession with health and wellness has become its own secular form of legalism. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind listeners that while bodily exercise is valuable, it can easily become idolatry if it replaces worship of the Lord. Gluttony has long been a silent sin, rarely addressed in churches, yet food can just as easily become an idol as the pursuit of beauty or fitness. The guys emphasize the need for balance: a pastor should not be marked by obvious gluttony, but at the same time, believers must avoid falling into the opposite extremes. Humans are wired to worship—so the question is, what or who are you worshiping?There is nothing wrong with caring for the body, but when the motive is self-glorification rather than glorifying God, the line has been crossed. Historically, Christians have been known for fasting, generosity, and blessing others, rather than being consumed by self-care. When self-care becomes an idol, it often reveals a fear of death and a desire to earn immortality. The truth is that the outer man is wasting away, and eternal life is found only in Christ. Motivation determines whether health is pursued as an idol or as stewardship of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Oscar shares that he lifts weights to maintain strength and longevity, aiming to serve God and his family well as he ages. E.Z. adds that part of his drive is to avoid becoming a burden to his children and to maximize his impact for the Lord.The wellness industry has grown worldwide, but combining wellness practices with paganism introduces another possible danger. Practices like meditation or yoga often promise salvation through Eastern philosophies, but they are just another form of legalism that cannot defeat death. Eternal youth is a false hope; eternal glory in Christ is the true answer. Believers should desire to live fully until they die, striving to honor God with their bodies.The guys emphasize the practical benefits of activity, pointing out that humans were not made for a sedentary life in front of screens. Exercising strengthens both body and mind, and tackling tough challenges builds confidence and resilience. At the same time, they warn against being judgmental toward others who practice moderation. Rest, too, is part of God's design, and the Sabbath reminds believers that they are not machines defined solely by their productivity. Ultimately, the message is simple: avoid gluttony and laziness, reject the idolization of beauty, view health as stewardship, and above all, love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.Send us a textThanks for listening!

    ⚠️ This was recorded for my UK Column show. Please keep us independent by supporting us.Bruce Fenton, a British researcher and author renowned for his meticulous exploration of human origins, challenges the conventional 'out of Africa' model in his thought-provoking work, notably his book The Forgotten Exodus, which features a foreword by acclaimed writer Graham Hancock. With a unique blend of expertise in finance, technology, and ancient history, Bruce has dedicated years to studying genetic data, archaeological evidence, and historical texts. He argues that Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, played a pivotal role in the evolutionary narrative of modern humans. Emphasising genetic diversity, he advocates for a multi-regional perspective, suggesting that various human populations across the globe contributed to our species' development. He also delves into the controversial notion of intelligent intervention—potentially ancient genetic manipulation or extraterrestrial influence—adding complexity to the discourse. He confronts the debates surrounding these theories head-on, presenting compelling evidence that Southeast Asia was a critical hub for the emergence of modern humans, thus questioning the traditional focus on Africa as the sole cradle of humanity.Bruce on X: https://x.com/GeologicalSETI

    Send us a textThe genetic & developmental changes behind bipedalism & human anatomy.Wide release date: October 15, 2025.Episode Summary: Dr. Terence Capellini talks about the evolution of bipedalism in humans, exploring when and why it emerged, the anatomical changes required, and the genetic mechanisms behind these adaptations. They discuss how environmental shifts, like shrinking forests, drove the need for upright walking, the gradual skeletal changes in the pelvis and limbs, and how these changes may have facilitated larger brain sizes. Capellini highlights the complexity of evolutionary processes, emphasizing the role of multiple genetic changes in regulatory regions rather than single genes.About the guest: Terence Capellini, PhD is a professor and chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on developmental genetics and human evolution.Discussion Points:Bipedalism likely became common ~3.5 million years ago with Australopithecus afarensis, with earlier hominins like Ardipithecus showing mosaic traits.Environmental changes, such as shrinking forests and expanding grasslands, created selective pressures favoring bipedal locomotion.The human pelvis evolved to be shorter, wider, and curved, with muscles like the gluteus medius shifting to stabilize upright walking.Genetic changes in non-coding regulatory regions, not protein-coding genes, drive the developmental shifts in pelvic growth, with hundreds of small-effect changes involved.Bipedalism may have widened the birth canal, potentially enabling the evolution of larger brains in later hominins like Homo erectus.Humans have more slow-twitch muscle fibers than chimpanzees, supporting endurance activities like long-distance running, possibly linked to energetic trade-offs with brain growth.Shoulder and arm adaptations for throwing and tool use evolved more gradually, becoming prominent ~2 million years ago with Homo erectus.Reference paper:Study: The evolution of hominin bipedalism in two stepsRelated content:M&M 171: Comparative Brain Evolution: Mammals, Primates & Humans | Robert Barton*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

    Victor L. Vescovo is a private investor with over thirty years of experience in a variety of complex business situations. He co-founded private equity firm Insight Equity in 2002 with his business partner, Ted Beneski and raised over $1.5 billion in equity capital across four funds. In 2023, he departed Insight in order to focus on his own investments with new capabilities to support industrial startups, life sciences, and other areas of venture capital and special situations. Victor received his bachelor's degree from Stanford University, a Master's Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received an MBA from Harvard Business School where he graduated as a Baker Scholar. Additionally, Victor served 20 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence and targeting officer, retiring in 2013 as a Commander. In 2017, Victor completed the “Explorer's Grand Slam” which requires climbing the highest peak on all seven of the world's continents including Mt. Everest and skiing at least 100 kilometers to the North and South Poles. He piloted the first repeated dives to the ocean's deepest point, Challenger Deep, in the Pacific's Mariana Trench - now fifteen times, and in August 2019 became the first person to visit “The Five Deeps,” the deepest point in all five of the world's oceans. Victor has now personally explored the bottom of seventeen deep ocean trenches and has made three dives to the Titanic including the only solo dive ever made there. He and his team also discovered and surveyed the two deepest shipwrecks in the world: the USS Johnston in 2021 and the deepest, the USS Samuel B. Roberts at 22,600 feet, in 2022. In 2025, the US Navy announced that T-AGOS 26, a new ocean surveillance vessel of the Explorer class, would be named after him. He is also a commercially rated, multi-engine jet, glider, seaplane, and helicopter pilot, a certified submersible test pilot, and recently flew into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, becoming the first person in history to climb Mount Everest, dive to the bottom of the ocean, and visit space.
