In this episode we are joined with Ladan Jiracek, the host of the Neural Implant podcast and a laboratory technician and graduate student working on neural implants for peripheral nerves. Jiracek shares his insights on the neurotech revolution, brain computer interfaces, and peripheral nervous system interfaces. He discusses the top players in the industry and … Paradromics, Neuralink, & the Future of Neurotech with Ladan Jiracek – Learning with Lowell- 162 Read More »
Neuralink has made brain-machine interfaces cool, but what's beyond it? I talk to Ladan Jiracek about the kinds of neural implants available in the market today and what we should expect in the future. Ladan is a graduate student at the University of Florida and the host of the most famous (and perhaps the only) podcast dedicated to brain-machine interfaces called the neural implant podcast. == What we talk about == 0:00 - Introduction 1:19 - What is a brain-machine interface (BMI)? 3:29 - What are your views on invasive vs non-invasive techniques for BMI? 5:37 - How hard is it to convince people to get brain surgeries done? 9:08 - How well do we have to understand the human brain in order to create an effective BMI? 15:04 - Are there any brain-machine Interfaces available for use today? 16:52 - How strongly science-backed are the devices that are available in the market today? 22:12 - How can we push the progress in this field to move faster? 33:18 - Who is currently pushing this field forward currently? 35:07 - What do you think about Neuralink? 40:48 - What are your views on Elon Musk's plan of using neural implants to "merge with AI"? 43:12 - Will we ever be able to use neural implants to live in a virtual reality that exactly feels like physical reality? == Useful links == Ladan's podcast: https://neuralimplantpodcast.com/
In this episode, Ladan Jiracek and Duane Mancini discuss his podcast the Neural Implant podcast, where the neurospace is headed, peripheral nerve stimulation, bioelectronic medicine, the vagus nerve, the power of networking, his mastermind group, and so much more.

The NIH's Neuromodulation Prize was announced on Jan 17, 2002. The $9.8 million dollar prize pot will be awarded over three phases. So we did an interview for Ladan Jiracek & Neural Implant Podcast around this prize, purely because Arun has experience in working as part of the team that did the GSK Innovation Prize. If anyone has not listened to Ladan's podcast and if you work in the area of #NeuroTech, you should definitely catch up with his interviews. Hope this cross-promo gives you the motivation to check out his podcast. In fact, this prize is modelled on the GSK Innovation Prize, for which Arun wrote the success criteria for. In fact, Arun spoke to Luminary Labs to provide his feedback as he does now after he was approached last year, based on his experience with the GSK Innovation Prize. More information on his points can be found HERE. Arun offers his frank comments and how this prize is not an optimal way to fund what NIH SPARC should be doing best, which is to unlock new targets for neuromodulation and bioelectronic medicine. He doesn't just stop with the criticism of the field but also provides critical gaps in the SPARC program and what they should have and should probably fund. This is constructive criticism and appraisal of the area and should not viewed as a controversy. Listen to our discussion with Ladan and make up your mind. Feel free to engage with us on Twitter or LinkedInArun can be reached on twitter HERE.
Ladan has a wealth of knowledge in the Neurotech space and has been running his own podcast in this field for over 4 years, he studied Nanobiophysics in Germany whilst completing his Master thesis in India and has travelled to over 100 different countries around the world and now resides in Florida whilst he completes his PhD. In this episode he discusses the controversial side of neural implants, the challenges of funding for companies in this sector, the hottest areas of focus in this space, the lessons he learned as an avid traveller and his unusual but interesting hobbies.

In this season four finale of the Travel Stories Podcast, Hayden is joined by Nicole (his writer) and Cody (his composer) to look back over the season, share outtakes, and talk about the upcoming fifth season. They weave through every episode and discuss what they thought about the guests and the stories, bringing in recaps and flashbacks to the highlights of each episode. You’ll remember this season featured Tom Butler, Sarah Miduski, Tania Aebi, Nate Buchanan, Britany Felix, Frank Salas, Leon Logothetis, Ladan Jiracek, Justin Walter, Cody Crabb, and Mike Corey. The gang shares their favorite episodes and moments from this season. In their rambling discussions, the gang talks about the same themes that they see cropping up in every episodes, and the vein they see running through all the themes and episodes this season. They talk about what traveling means to them, then start devolving into a conversation about expectations versus reality, making experiences positive or negative, and how this plays into travel. They discuss traveling with children and travel aesthetics. The gang has fun together, bantering and joking around, as well as dragging each other and wholeheartedly (and savagely) mocking one another. The team also discusses the unreality of thinking they have actual listeners and actual fans. In their conversation, they revisit past guests and fans, like Billy from last season and what he’s been up to. Hayden brings some outtakes to share, as well - such as one where Hayden and Nicole roast Cody when his connection dropped during an episode. Their big finish features discussing what’s coming up in season five. Coming up next season we have a name change: we are becoming Backpack Digital. Our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram handles, as well as our website name, are all changing to backpackdigital to reflect this. We’re also expanding to include more than just podcasts. We have more inspiring travel-related content coming your way, so stay tuned! The podcast itself is changing, as well: the intro is changing, we’re getting new artwork, and the format is going to be split up. We’ll break up the interview and the story into two separate episodes for easy listening. We’re also releasing a book during season five: Nicole’s novel Venus , a novel about two young women who go on an adventure, searching for an escape and for a way to discover who they are as people. Along the way, they figure out who they are, they fall in love, and they learn that the journey is sometimes better than the destination. If you stay tuned all the way until the end of the episode, you can find some bonus outtakes of Hayden being a mushmouth. We look forward to bringing you forward to season five come late March. Have a good break! Check out our website at:
Culture is one of the first things you might notice while you travel. While culture shock is a sizable and impactful thing, experiencing other cultures is vital to travel and vital to humanity as a whole. Learning about culture while traveling can help you learn about those that you share the world with, as well as learning more about yourself. Ladan Jiracek visits this week from his own podcast, the Travel Wisdom podcast. He has been to over ninety countries and loves to think about how travel can be a chance to learn. He and Hayden discuss how to learn from travel and how to find purpose and meaning from your adventures while traveling. They also have an in-depth talk about how important it can be to learn a language while traveling. Ladan also mentions that relationship cultures are among the most drastic differences he has found internationally. The two of them agree that exploring cultures outside of one’s own society is vital. Ladan also shares what he believes has been holding people back from traveling, while Hayden brings up the topic of podcasts and their impact on the travel world. They talk about one-upping, travel as a learning experience, the impact of certain countries, and their thoughts on marriage and children. Ladan discusses his time in Georgia, as well. “Cheating Death and Hitchhiking Africa,” Ladan’s tale of how difficult it can be to get from point A to point B, is full of conflict and twists. One summer, Ladan and his friends decided to hitchhike across Africa, and one thing after another started to go wrong while they were crossing the desert on a twelve-hour road trip into Somalia. Without water and with far too much sand, Ladan remembers vividly how journeying to Somalia was wrought with strife and amusing troubles. Culture is the most vital part of national identity. It is the root of language, of tradition, and of daily life in communities all around the world. Getting to know the cultures around you, and the cultures around the world, can drastically affect not only you as a traveler, but you as a person, as well. 0:55 - Hayden introduces Ladan Jiracek, who hosts the Travel Wisdom podcast, has been to over ninety countries, and loves to think about how travel can be a chance to learn. Ladan discusses how to find the purpose and the meaning behind your travels, as well as how important learning a language can be when traveling. 5:08 - Hayden and Ladan discuss exploring outside of their own societies, and how relationship cultures differ from place to place. Hayden asks Ladan what he has found around the world that he preferred to his own culture. 10:33 - Ladan talks about what he thinks holds people back from traveling. Hayden mentions how podcasts and the dissemination of information can provide a well-rounded perspective on travel and on the world. 13:30 - Ladan starts to tell his story, “Cheating Death and Hitchhiking Africa,” his go-to travel story. During the summer semester, Ladan hitchhiked across Africa, and found himself hunched over in a caravan to Somalia. Partway through the trip, they got stuck in the sand, and nobody had water.

What if you had the ability to make big things magically happen? What if you could make people's (including your own) wildest dreams come true? My guest today on the Art of Adventure has a secret process for learning how to ask from something and get a YES, when you would normally expect to get a NO - AKA the Unreasonable Request. Stehpanie Burns is the founder and CEO of Chic CEO. She has been a speaker at SXSW, TEDx, SD Entrepreneur Summit, Female Entrepreneur: The Gender Advantage... and more. Some of her big unreasonable requests wins are free or heavily discounted venue space for her favorite charity and an all expenses paid Ruby on Rails coding course and vacation in Bali. Stephanie has coached me in making unreasonable requests as well: Some of the things that I have gotten in the last few months as a result of using the unreasonable requests process are: a free scenic train tour of New Zealand, free concert tickets, a party thrown for my birthday for my favorite local charity, a week-long luxury retreat, and free mentorship, to name a few. I think you will find this a fascinating look at our own beliefs, and how we can harness the power of continual challenge. This is the episode for you if you have wild dreams and want to turn them into reality, or if there is anything you really want that could help your life or business, but you aren't sure how you can make it happen. Quotes: "Find what you have that other people need" - Stephanie Burns "How willing are you to be uncomfortable?"- Stephanie Burns "You are not always going to get a yes"- Stephanie Burns "Once you get a yes, you realize there are no limits"- Stephanie Burns "Can I go up one more level than where I am right now?"- Stephanie Burns "To provide value, you have to know your value"- Stephanie Burns "Sometimes it is easier to do a big ask for someone else"- Stephanie Burns "Adventure is anything that excites me that is new and challenging"- Stephanie Burns "The right education would solve the major problems of the world"- Stephanie Burns What you will learn in this episode: -How to ask for things even when you expect a no -How to know the value you bring -How to get travel, courses, hotel stays, events, venues and more for free -How to get comfortable being uncomfortable -How to get over feeling stupid or feeling like a jerk -How to treat an unreasonable request like an experiment -How to do an unreasonable request for someone else -How to figure out what people need Continue the Adventure: Chic CEO About Stephanie Burns Thanks Stephanie Burns!

Not only is he a world traveler now living in India to advance his education so he can change the world with nano bots. More About Ladan My name is Ladan Jiracek, and I love to travel. This shows in the fact that I have been to over 80 countries and counting. These all started way back when I was an infant. My mom and dad took me through Central America in the early 1990's. This multi-month trip was done on a camper on the back of a camouflage spray-painted pickup truck which was so ugly no local person thought of robbing it. Flash forward to my first year of college and I was contemplating doing a semester during the summer as well. My mom was completely against this and offered to buy me a plane ticket anywhere I wanted to go as long as I took a break from school and didn't do the summer semester. So I asked my friend, who I knew for about 2 months at that point, “hey man, wanna go to Russia with me?.” Surprisingly I had met somebody as crazy as me and he agreed and so the magic began after we scraped together the rest of the money. That first summer we trimmed down our original plans and came up with a nonsensical plan of Russia, Greece, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and finally Brussels. We had a great time but especially in Russia because in order to spare ourselves from the $100 a night hotels in Moscow (bring your own towels because they don't have any), we used Hospitality Club. We stayed with an English professor and it made our trip much more fun, cheap, and memorable. The memories of being escorted by 30 beautiful Russian English students through Red Square made us keep planning for the next year as well. The next year our plan was to be more extreme and go across Northern Africa but again the plans changed and we went through Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, UAE, and Oman as well. This was a great trip and we used Couch Surfing this time and had an amazing time. We had amazing stories but it was getting harder and harder to talk to friends back at home and have them relate to the experiences that we were able to go through. I knew an addiction had started. The next year we decided to do Africa, from Cairo to Johannesburg. We went through Egypt, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, and South Africa along the Eastern coast of Africa. This was a crazy trip and I was really nervous about it. Before going I was incredibly worried that I would die because of the crazy people, crazy governments, crazy animals, and crazy heat. Turns out all of these fears were unfounded and I came back having experienced something very few people have done. A few years later I did an internship in Berlin and had an amazing time. This led me to apply for a Master's program in Dresden, German in 2013 in the field of Nanobiophysics. The field was interesting but I was mostly excited to be in Germany which also turned out to be much cooler than I had originally thought. I am always looking for interesting projects and think of myself as an entrepreneurial person. People always said I should write a book but was never really interested in it because I don't like to write very much. I had the idea to do a podcast for about a year but it wasn't until my friend made me do it and showed me how. My upcoming book Joe Pardo's 31 Life-Changing Concepts which comes out April 6th!
