Aran Nayebi is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Machine Learning Department. He was there in the early days of using convolutional neural networks to explain how our brains perform object recognition, and since then he's a had a whirlwind trajectory through different AI architectures and algorithms and how they relate to biological architectures and algorithms, so we touch on some of what he has studied in that regard. But he also recently started his own lab, at CMU, and he has plans to integrate much of what he has learned to eventually develop autonomous agents that perform the tasks we want them to perform in similar at least ways that our brains perform them. So we discuss his ongoing plans to reverse-engineer our intelligence to build useful cognitive architectures of that sort. We also discuss Aran's suggestion that, at least in the NeuroAI world, the Turing test needs to be updated to include some measure of similarity of the internal representations used to achieve the various tasks the models perform. By internal representations, as we discuss, he means the population-level activity in the neural networks, not the mental representations philosophy of mind often refers to, or other philosophical notions of the term representation.

The concept of a schema goes back at least to the philosopher Immanuel Kant in the 1700s, who use the term to refer to a kind of built-in mental framework to organize sensory experience. But it was the psychologist Frederic Bartlett in the 1930s who used the term schema in a psychological sense, to explain how our memories are organized and how new information gets integrated into our memory. Fast forward another 100 years to today, and we have a podcast episode with my guest today, Alison Preston, who runs the Preston Lab at the University of Texas at Austin. On this episode, we discuss her neuroscience research explaining how our brains might carry out the processing that fits with our modern conception of schemas, and how our brains do that in different ways as we develop from childhood to adulthood. I just said, "our modern conception of schemas," but like everything else, there isn't complete consensus among scientists exactly how to define schema. Ali has her own definition. She shares that, and how it differs from other conceptions commonly used. I like Ali's version and think it should be adopted, in part because it helps distinguish schemas from a related term, cognitive maps, which we've discussed aplenty on brain inspired, and can sometimes be used interchangeably with schemas. So we discuss how to think about schemas versus cognitive maps, versus concepts, versus semantic information, and so on. Last episode Ciara Greene discussed schemas and how they underlie our memories, and learning, and predictions, and how they can lead to inaccurate memories and predictions. Today Ali explains how circuits in the brain might adaptively underlie this process as we develop, and how to go about measuring it in the first place.

How is Trump's executive order redefining the language permissible in scientific research, and what does it mean for academic freedom? Today, we examine the complexities surrounding scientific research under shifting political landscapes with Ivan Oransky, a seasoned medical journalist and co-founder of Retraction Watch. Oransky discusses the implications of President Trump's executive orders and how it has sent ripples throughout the scientific community, causing researchers to reconsider their work amidst existential uncertainties. Oransky explores the nuanced relationship between government funding and scientific inquiry. This episode unpacks the historical precedents of government involvement in research, tracing back to the 1940s, and examines the mounting challenges faced by scientists under the recent policy changes. Oransky provides a critical analysis of how such directives potentially stifle open inquiry and drive talented researchers away, ultimately impacting the future landscape of scientific discovery. In This Episode:Implications of Trump's executive orders on scientific researchHistorical context of government funding in scientific researchThe impact of political climates on scientific inquiry and transparencyChallenges of anticipatory obedience within research communitiesIvan Oransky's insights on sustaining open and rigorous scientific dialogue About Ivan:Ivan Oransky, MD, is the co-founder of Retraction Watch, the Editor in Chief of The Transmitter, and a Distinguished Journalist in Residence at New York University's Carter Journalism Institute, where he teaches medical journalism.

Eigentlich sollte diese Episode vor allem für Menschen gemacht werden, die voller Wissbegierde und Lerngeilheit sind. Endlich sollte der gute, alte Eulsche Bildungsauftrag wieder erfüllt werden. Und eigentlich sollte dafür auch der perfekte Gast voller Lerninhaltevermittlungspotential kommen. Die gute Nachricht: Der Gast ist gekommen. Und es ist niemand geringeres als Klaas Heufer-Umlauf himself (von Joko & Klaas). Die noch gütere Nachricht: Es wurde einfach über alles geplauscht, geschwelgt und gekichert, was vor die Sprachflinte kam. Wie haben sich die drei Transmitter und Klaas eigentlich kennengelernt? Wie oft hat Frank Klaas eigentlich verkabelt? Wofür taugt Applaus? Wer schämt sich in dieser Runde am meisten und wofür? Und ist tatsächlich damals jemand während der Aufzeichnung der TV-Show “Glücksrad”im Publikum verschieden? Inhaltlich ist diese Folge über alles andere erhaben. *** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Since the 1940s and 50s, back at the origins of what we now think of as artificial intelligence, there have been lots of ways of conceiving what it is that brains do, or what the function of the brain is. One of those conceptions, going to back to cybernetics, is that the brain is a controller that operates under the principles of feedback control. This view has been carried down in various forms to us in present day. Also since that same time period, when McCulloch and Pitts suggested that single neurons are logical devices, there have been lots of ways of conceiving what it is that single neurons do. Are they logical operators, do they each represent something special, are they trying to maximize efficiency, for example? Dmitri Chklovskii, who goes by Mitya, runs the Neural Circuits and Algorithms lab at the Flatiron Institute. Mitya believes that single neurons themselves are each individual controllers. They're smart agents, each trying to predict their inputs, like in predictive processing, but also functioning as an optimal feedback controller. We talk about historical conceptions of the function of single neurons and how this differs, we talk about how to think of single neurons versus populations of neurons, some of the neuroscience findings that seem to support Mitya's account, the control algorithm that simplifies the neuron's otherwise impossible control task, and other various topics. We also discuss Mitya's early interests, coming from a physics and engineering background, in how to wire up our brains efficiently, given the limited amount of space in our craniums. Obviously evolution produced its own solutions for this problem. This pursuit led Mitya to study the C. elegans worm, because its connectome was nearly complete- actually, Mitya and his team helped complete the connectome so he'd have the whole wiring diagram to study it. So we talk about that work, and what knowing the whole connectome of C. elegans has and has not taught us about how brains work. Chklovskii Lab. Twitter: @chklovskii.

When you play hide and seek, as you do on a regular basis I'm sure, and you count to ten before shouting, "Ready or not, here I come," how do you keep track of time? Is it a clock in your brain, as many neuroscientists assume and therefore search for in their research? Or is it something else? Maybe the rhythm of your vocalization as you say, "one-one thousand, two-one thousand"? Even if you're counting silently, could it be that you're imagining the movements of speaking aloud and tracking those virtual actions? My guest today, neuroscientist David Robbe, believes we don't rely on clocks in our brains, or measure time internally, or really that we measure time at all. Rather, our estimation of time emerges through our interactions with the world around us and/or the world within us as we behave. David is group leader of the Cortical-Basal Ganglia Circuits and Behavior Lab at the Institute of Mediterranean Neurobiology. His perspective on how organisms measure time is the result of his own behavioral experiments with rodents, and by revisiting one of his favorite philosophers, Henri Bergson. So in this episode, we discuss how all of this came about - how neuroscientists have long searched for brain activity that measures or keeps track of time in areas like the basal ganglia, which is the brain region David focuses on, how the rodents he studies behave in surprising ways when he asks them to estimate time intervals, and how Bergson introduce the world to the notion of durée, our lived experience and feeling of time.

Editors at scientific journals are quitting in droves. According to Retraction Watch, a watchdog publication, there have been at least 20 mass resignations since 2023.So, what's going on? If you look closely, you'll notice a common pattern—publishers are cutting back on the number of editors, increasing the number of papers, and charging hefty fees for authors to publish their work.The most recent mass resignation happened at the Journal of Human Evolution at the end of 2024. Both co-editors in chief and the entire editorial board quit, except for one person.What does this mean for the future of scientific publishing? Have these resignations made the big publishers change their ways? Is the strict academic publishing system we know in danger?To answer those questions and more, Ira talks with Dr. Andrea Taylor, former co-editor in chief of the Journal of Human Evolution; and Ivan Oransky, co-founder of Retraction Watch and editor in chief of The Transmitter.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

David Krakauer is the president of the Santa Fe Institute, where their mission is officially "Searching for Order in the Complexity of Evolving Worlds." When I think of the Santa Fe institute, I think of complexity science, because that is the common thread across the many subjects people study at SFI, like societies, economies, brains, machines, and evolution. David has been on before, and I invited him back to discuss some of the topics in his new book The Complex World: An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Complexity Science. The book on the one hand serves as an introduction and a guide to a 4 volume collection of foundational papers in complexity science, which you'll David discuss in a moment. On the other hand, The Complex World became much more, discussing and connecting ideas across the history of complexity science. Where did complexity science come from? How does it fit among other scientific paradigms? How did the breakthroughs come about? Along the way, we discuss the four pillars of complexity science - entropy, evolution, dynamics, and computation, and how complexity scientists draw from these four areas to study what David calls "problem-solving matter." We discuss emergence, the role of time scales, and plenty more all with my own self-serving goal to learn and practice how to think like a complexity scientist to improve my own work on how brains do things. Hopefully our conversation, and David's book, help you do the same. David's website. David's SFI homepage. The book: The Complex World: An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Complexity Science.

Das jetzt schon wichtigste Comeback des Jahres 2025! “Eulen vor die Säue” sendet wieder, als wäre es immer noch Deutschlands durchsendigster Podcast. Dieses Label wurde aber zugunsten des neuen Subsubclaims aufgegeben, denn “Unsere Stärke ist unsere Stärke” entspricht zumindest genauso stark der Wahrheit. Und natürlich stürzen sich Bürsti, Strombass und Freak wieder in absurdeste Wortabenteuer voller Intrigen, Überraschungen und, neu, Gefühle. Gleich zu Beginn wird allen Teilnehmenden bewusst, wie wertvoll doch dieses zarte Konstrukt namens Leben ist, denn beinahe wäre ein Transmitter aus demselbigen kurz vor der Aufnahme geschieden. Vielleicht ist diese Folge auch deshalb so besonders geworden und enthält hochsensible Themen wie Tier-Genanz, Boxershortstransformation und offen liegende Dreiadrigkeit!

Eli Sennesh is a postdoc at Vanderbilt University, one of my old stomping grounds, currently in the lab of Andre Bastos. Andre's lab focuses on understanding brain dynamics within cortical circuits, particularly how communication between brain areas is coordinated in perception, cognition, and behavior. So Eli is busy doing work along those lines, as you'll hear more about. But the original impetus for having him on his recently published proposal for how predictive coding might be implemented in brains. So in that sense, this episode builds on the last episode with Rajesh Rao, where we discussed Raj's "active predictive coding" account of predictive coding. As a super brief refresher, predictive coding is the proposal that the brain is constantly predicting what's about the happen, then stuff happens, and the brain uses the mismatch between its predictions and the actual stuff that's happening, to learn how to make better predictions moving forward. I refer you to the previous episode for more details. So Eli's account, along with his co-authors of course, which he calls "divide-and-conquer" predictive coding, uses a probabilistic approach in an attempt to account for how brains might implement predictive coding, and you'll learn more about that in our discussion. But we also talk quite a bit about the difference between practicing theoretical and experimental neuroscience, and Eli's experience moving into the experimental side from the theoretical side.

Is your BRAIN a Solitary Computer or a Hub in a Universal Network? Get ready to have your mind BLOWN! We just dove DEEP into the fascinating world of consciousness research on the Disruptive Minds podcast, and the discoveries are MIND-BOGGLING. We're not just talking about the brain as a command center anymore. Think of it more as a RECEIVER and TRANSMITTER, constantly interacting with a universal field of information. Imagine a cosmic cloud of thoughts, memories, and even our sense of self, all interconnected! This isn't just science fiction. We explored the groundbreaking work of Neurobusiness Specialist Marynês Pereira, who combines neuroscience with quantum physics to unlock the mysteries of consciousness beyond the brain. Her article "Consciência Além do Cérebro" challenges traditional views and proposes a radical new understanding of how our minds work. We discuss: • The Holographic Universe: Is your brain like a hologram, decoding information from a universal field? • The Power of Belief: Can the placebo effect and distant healing prove the existence of non-local consciousness? • Ethical Implications: If our thoughts are interconnected, what responsibilities do we have? This is a journey of exploration you WON'T want to miss. It's time to rethink everything you thought you knew about the human mind. Tune in to the Disruptive Minds podcast where we explore the frontiers of neuroscience and its impact on our lives, powered by the latest in AI technology generated discussions. This episode is powered by AI - even the voice actors!

It takes a huge team of people to bring your favourite CBC radio shows every day.

Hessam Akhlaghpour is a postdoctoral researcher at Rockefeller University in the Maimon lab. His experimental work is in fly neuroscience mostly studying spatial memories in fruit flies. However, we are going to be talking about a different (although somewhat related) side of his postdoctoral research. This aspect of his work involves theoretical explorations of molecular computation, which are deeply inspired by Randy Gallistel and Adam King's book Memory and the Computational Brain. Randy has been on the podcast before to discuss his ideas that memory needs to be stored in something more stable than the synapses between neurons, and how that something could be genetic material like RNA. When Hessam read this book, he was re-inspired to think of the brain the way he used to think of it before experimental neuroscience challenged his views. It re-inspired him to think of the brain as a computational system. But it also led to what we discuss today, the idea that RNA has the capacity for universal computation, and Hessam's development of how that might happen. So we discuss that background and story, why universal computation has been discovered in organisms yet since surely evolution has stumbled upon it, and how RNA might and combinatory logic could implement universal computation in nature.

Tony Zador runs the Zador lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. You've heard him on Brain Inspired a few times in the past, most recently in a panel discussion I moderated at this past COSYNE conference - a conference Tony co-founded 20 years ago. As you'll hear, Tony's current and past interests and research endeavors are of a wide variety, but today we focus mostly on his thoughts on NeuroAI. We're in a huge AI hype cycle right now, for good reason, and there's a lot of talk in the neuroscience world about whether neuroscience has anything of value to provide AI engineers - and how much value, if any, neuroscience has provided in the past. Tony is team neuroscience. You'll hear him discuss why in this episode, especially when it comes to ways in which development and evolution might inspire better data efficiency, looking to animals in general to understand how they coordinate numerous objective functions to achieve their intelligent behaviors - something Tony calls alignment - and using spikes in AI models to increase energy efficiency.

Karen Adolph runs the Infant Action Lab at NYU, where she studies how our motor behaviors develop from infancy onward. We discuss how observing babies at different stages of development illuminates how movement and cognition develop in humans, how variability and embodiment are key to that development, and the importance of studying behavior in real-world settings as opposed to restricted laboratory settings. We also explore how these principles and simulations can inspire advances in intelligent robots. Karen has a long-standing interest in ecological psychology, and she shares some stories of her time studying under Eleanor Gibson and other mentors. Finally, we get a surprise visit from her partner Mark Blumberg, with whom she co-authored an opinion piece arguing that "motor cortex" doesn't start off with a motor function, oddly enough, but instead processes sensory information during the first period of animals' lives.

Earlier this year, President Obama's signature BRAIN Initiative, which has powered advances in neuroscience for the past 10 years, had its budget slashed by 40%. Over the past decade, the BRAIN Initiative made roughly $4 billion in targeted investments in more than 1500 research projects across the country and has dramatically accelerated progress tackling fundamental challenges in neuroscience. As we head into the next federal budget cycle, the future of the initiative remains uncertain. Today we take stock of how the BRAIN Initiative transformed neuroscience over the past 10 years, and what the outlook is for the future of the field.To give us an unparalleled behind the scenes view, we are fortunate to have Bill Newsome with us on the show. A world renowned expert in the brain mechanisms of visual perception and decision-making, Bill co-chaired the original BRAIN Initiative planning committee in 2013 (the same year he became the founding director of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute here at Stanford).

Visit thetransmitter.org to explore the latest neuroscience news and perspectives, written by journalists and scientists. This is the second conversation I had while teamed up with Gaute Einevoll at a workshop on NeuroAI in Norway. In this episode, Gaute and I are joined by Cristina Savin and Tim Vogels. Cristina shares how her lab uses recurrent neural networks to study learning, while Tim talks about his long-standing research on synaptic plasticity and how AI tools are now helping to explore the vast space of possible plasticity rules. We touch on how deep learning has changed the landscape, enhancing our research but also creating challenges with the "fashion-driven" nature of science today. We also reflect on how these new tools have changed the way we think about brain function without fundamentally altering the structure of our questions.

I was recently in Norway at a NeuroAI workshop called Validating models: How would success in NeuroAI look like? What follows are a few recordings I made with my friend Gaute Einevoll. Gaute has been on this podcast before, but more importantly he started his own podcast a while back called Theoretical Neuroscience, which you should check out. Gaute and I introduce the episode, then briefly speak with Mikkel Lepperød, one of the organizers of the workshop. In this first episode, we're then joined by Ken Harris and Andreas Tolias to discuss how AI has influenced their research, thoughts about brains and minds, and progress and productivity.

Visit thetransmitter.org to explore the latest neuroscience news and perspectives, written by journalists and scientists. The Transmitter has provided a transcript for this episode. Vijay Namoodiri runs the Nam Lab at the University of California San Francisco, and Ali Mojebi is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ali as been on the podcast before a few times, and he's interested in how neuromodulators like dopamine affect our cognition. And it was Ali who pointed me to Vijay, because of some recent work Vijay has done reassessing how dopamine might function differently than what has become the classic story of dopamine's function as it pertains to learning. The classic story is that dopamine is related to reward prediction errors. That is, dopamine is modulated when you expect reward and don't get it, and/or when you don't expect reward but do get it. Vijay calls this a "prospective" account of dopamine function, since it requires an animal to look into the future to expect a reward. Vijay has shown, however, that a retrospective account of dopamine might better explain lots of know behavioral data. This retrospective account links dopamine to how we understand causes and effects in our ongoing behavior. So in this episode, Vijay gives us a history lesson about dopamine, his newer story and why it has caused a bit of controversy, and how all of this came to be. I happened to be looking at the Transmitter the other day, after I recorded this episode, and low and behold, there was an article titles Reconstructing dopamine's link to reward. Vijay is featured in the article among a handful of other thoughtful researchers who share their work and ideas about this very topic. Vijay wrote his own piece as well: Dopamine and the need for alternative theories. So check out those articles for more views on how the field is reconsidering how dopamine works. Nam Lab.

Kim Stachenfeld embodies the original core focus of this podcast, the exploration of the intersection between neuroscience and AI, now commonly known as Neuro-AI. That's because she walks both lines. Kim is a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, the AI company that sprang from neuroscience principles, and also does research at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University. She's been using her expertise in modeling, and reinforcement learning, and cognitive maps, for example, to help understand brains and to help improve AI. I've been wanting to have her on for a long time to get her broad perspective on AI and neuroscience. We discuss the relative roles of industry and academia in pursuing various objectives related to understanding and building cognitive entities She's studied the hippocampus in her research on reinforcement learning and cognitive maps, so we discuss what the heck the hippocampus does since it seems to implicated in so many functions, and how she thinks of reinforcement learning these days. Most recently Kim at Deepmind has focused on more practical engineering questions, using deep learning models to predict things like chaotic turbulent flows, and even to help design things like bridges and airplanes. And we don't get into the specifics of that work, but, given that I just spoke with Damian Kelty-Stephen, who thinks of brains partially as turbulent cascades, Kim and I discuss how her work on modeling turbulence has shaped her thoughts about brains.

Das 19. Staffelfinale drängt sich auf und somit auch die Frage: Werden diese Hundertsassa namens Basti, Thomas & Frank schon bald einen Ehrendoktortitel im Bereich Podcastologie erhalten? Angebracht wär es, denn auch in dieser Folge zeigen die drei Herrschaften wieder auf eindrucksvolle Weise, wie man aus einem Haufen Nichts immerhin ein gewisses Etwas zaubert. Allerdings beginnt die Episode erstmal mit einem Schock, denn Frank Tonmann gesteht unter Tränen, dass er neuerdings nur noch wie Naruto* laufen kann (*Nichtkenner bitte googlen, so wie Thomas Normal Cool). Zum Glück driftet das ganze Drama aber schnell in Richtung Schönheit, Schönheitsempfinden und Schönheitshilfsmittel ab und endet in einer zünftigen Streichelei, weil zwei der drei Transmitter extrem sanfte Körperstellen haben. Was sich liest, wie der Beginn eines Bahnhofsgroschenromans ist mehr oder weniger auch einer nur mit dem Unterschied, dass natürlich mittendrin auch noch jede Menge Receiver-Fragen beantwortet werden.

Near-death experience guest 964 is Reverend Honi borden Iranian born Inner Faith Minister, who has had both an NDE and ET contact which we will talk about and more. Rev. Honi Borden is an International Inspirational figure that assists Humanity to Its Divinity through Embodied InScension. She was consecrated by the 1st Ray of Light under the direct Guidance & Teachings of Master ElMorya of the Blue Flame Temple and the Seven Sacred Flame Temples, to embody her I AM Presence. She is a TransMedium TransChanneler, Light Language Speaker, Teacher, Activator, Transmitter of Living Krystalline Diamond Codes of Light, Ascension Alchemist, and a Messenger of The Light from the Other Side. As a Planetary Grid Activator of Kryst Consciousness, she activated 40 locations on her 5 years journey by bringing through the Magdalene & Yeshua Codes of light into the Golden Rose Dragon Line., Rev. HoniB first awoken to the reality of her Higher Self, at the age of seven, during a car crash. This spiritual journey inspired her first published inspirational children's memoir on 11,11,11 called, "The Day I Became A Superhero." She has since been communicating with Higher Conscious InterTerrestrial Councils, Angelic Realm and Ascended Masters for over thirty years. On January 8, 2012, she had an NDE experience where she encountered the Higher Angelic Realm meeting Archangel Haniel, followed by The Arcturian Golden Council of 12 and then Beloved Master Living Christ, Yeshua, from whom she saw all of her many past lives and received upgrade of her 8th strand of DNA, and was also given specific Mission to deliver to earth in Assisting Humanity to its Divinity though Its I AM PRESENCE. Rev. HoniB has since been dedicated to this earth mission with travel to over 40 Countries & Communities all over Gaia as well as with her spouse, Michael Abramson, with their private association called “Ascension Alchemy”. Rev. HoniB has been featured on numerous magazines, podcasts, and speaker engagements, including Hay House, I Can Do It Conference, New Humanity Expo, 11:11 Talk Radio, Emmanuel Dagher's Miracle Cafe, The Eden Magazine, Angel Network Psychic Radio, SHELiving TV, The Radiance Magazine, News Channel 9, Soulogy Network, The Soul Matrix Podcast, Alan Steinfield NewRealties Show, Organic Spa Magazine, Washingtonian Magazine, Tampa Voyage Magazine, On The Other Side, NDE Diaries and Christ Consciousness Summit.

Welcome back to another episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the world of logistics, trucking, and all things freight. Today, we had an insightful conversation with our special guests from the Logistics Lounge, Hunter Woodfin and Robert Petersen, who shared their experiences and offered valuable advice for those navigating the industry. But before we get into that conversation we have our Transmitter segment where we discuss this recent article from Overdrive Online which profiles an under 21 year old driver participating in the FMCSA's pilot program designed to test the waters for under 21's to drive interstate. Global Freight Challenges and Opportunities We kicked off the episode discussing the complexities of global transportation, particularly the situation in the Red Sea and its impact on shipping routes and costs. Hunter explained how geopolitical tensions and rerouted shipping lanes are causing transit times to increase and forcing companies to find new suppliers and manufacturers. He emphasized the importance of staying informed and adaptable in the face of such challenges. The Importance of Relationships in Logistics Both Hunter and Robert highlighted the significance of building strong relationships within the industry. Whether it's with carriers, customers, or even internal team members, nurturing these connections can be crucial when the market takes a turn. They also touched on the advantages of working with smaller companies, where a more personalized approach can lead to better support and growth opportunities. Personal Growth and Industry Insights Robert shared his journey of personal development while working as a truck driver, pursuing further education, and obtaining various certifications. His story is a testament to the power of stepping out of one's comfort zone and the benefits of continuous learning. Hunter, with his background in logistics and intermodal transportation, also stressed the importance of staying current with industry trends and technologies. The Logistics Lounge: A Place to Unwind and Connect Our guests introduced us to their own podcast, the Logistics Lounge, which serves as a virtual meeting place for industry professionals to unwind and talk shop. They described it as a late-night talk show for logistics, where people can come together to discuss freight, life, and everything in between. Check it out here Final Thoughts and Super Bowl Picks As we wrapped up the episode, we couldn't resist discussing some lighter topics, including our favorite ways to enjoy potatoes and our picks for the Super Bowl. Both Hunter and Robert shared their support for the Kansas City Chiefs, and we all agreed that it's fun to watch a phenom like Patrick Mahomes in action. In conclusion, this episode was packed with insights into the logistics industry, from the impact of global events on freight to the importance of relationships and personal growth. We hope our listeners found it as enlightening as we did, and we look forward to bringing more engaging conversations to the table in future episodes.
