Podcast appearances and mentions of Victor Vescovo

Explorer Victor Vescovo shares how he engineered a sub to reach 35,000 feet below the sea and what he's discovered in Earth's deepest trenches. What We Discuss with Victor Vescovo: Victor Vescovo led the Five Deeps expedition, becoming the first person to reach the deepest points of all five oceans. Prior to his expedition, several of these locations weren't even precisely mapped, requiring extensive sonar surveys to locate the actual deepest points. The average place on Earth is 4,000 meters underwater, and 71% of Earth is ocean — of which 75% remains completely unexplored. This means about half of our planet is still unexplored, and in many respects, we know more about the surface of Mars than our own ocean depths. The high pressures present at the deepest ocean points required innovative engineering solutions to navigate, including a perfectly spherical titanium pressure vessel that actually became stronger with repeated dives due to the intense pressure "reforging" the metal. Beneath 6,000 meters, the ocean is a sunless realm of absolute darkness. But even here, life thrives beyond the reach of light under pressure that would crush the average surface dweller, hinting at the flora and fauna we might expect to find on even the most extreme alien worlds. Anyone can become an explorer and push technological boundaries by breaking down seemingly impossible challenges into smaller, solvable problems. As Victor demonstrates, by carefully analyzing requirements, building the right team, and maintaining disciplined program management, even the most ambitious projects can be achieved through methodical execution and persistent dedication.

Visit us at Network2020.org.The technological world is built by critical minerals like nickel, cobalt, and lithium. As the demand for clean energy expands, so does the demand for these metals and rare earth elements. While these materials have historically been mined on land, a trove of critical minerals is lying on the seabed and being captured by the competitive, booming, and opaque deep-sea-mining industry. The U.S. is missing out in this race while its geopolitical competitors, China and Russia are getting ahead in this industry. On the other hand, scientists and environmentalists are raising concerns regarding the environmental impacts of the industry's activities. What is the scope and growth potential of this industry? How is it governed? How can countries balance environmental goals with economic and geopolitical ones?Join us for a conversation with Julian Jackson, Project Director of Ocean Governance at the Pew Charitable Trusts; Vasser Seydel, President of The Oxygen Project ;and Victor Vescovo, Founder and CEO of Caladan Capital LLC and Renowned Undersea Explorer where they discuss the deep-sea mining industry, its governance, geopolitics, potential environmental impacts and more.Music by Yurii Semchyshyn from PixabayMusic by Sergii Pavkin from Pixabay

Casey shares personal and historical highlights of the complexity and ecological importance of the ocean's depths. She reports on her dive to the Twilight Zone (600-3300 feet) that is filled with bioluminescent creatures that sparkle and glow. Despite these delights, Casey points to the terrestrial bias and lack of funding for ocean exploration compared to space. Susan Casey is a premiere chronicler of the aquatic world. Most recently she traversed the globe and gives first-hand accounts of joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet. She stands in for us with her insightful questions of the lives and motivations of marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers who are searching for knowledge in this vast unseen realm. She takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of deep-sea exploration, from the myths and legends of the ancient world to storied shipwrecks, to the first intrepid bathysphere pilots, to the scientists who are just beginning to understand the mind-blowing complexity and, most importantly, the ecological importance of the home of the quadrillions of creatures who live in realms long thought to be devoid of life. She is the author of several books including Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among American's Great White Sharks (Henry Holt 2005), The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean (Doubleday 2010), Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins (Anchor 2016) and Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean (Doubleday 2023)Interview Date: 8/5/2024.

In July 2022, oceanographer Dawn Wright made history by becoming the first Black person to dive to the deepest known spot on the planet. Victor Vescovo, a former Naval officer, entrepreneur and explorer, invited Wright to accompany him on the expedition to descend more than six-and-a-half miles to Challenger Deep in the western Pacific Ocean.  Wright is the chief scientist at Esri, a California-based company that develops mapping software. Wright used the occasion of her sixth deep sea dive to successfully test and operate a sonar instrument specially designed to withstand the crushing pressure found at Challenger Deep.      Wright is currently a courtesy professor at Oregon State University’s College of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. She was on faculty as a tenured professor at OSU for 17 years until 2011. She joins us to talk about her expedition to Challenger Deep, which will be the focus of a lecture that she is scheduled to give on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at the OSU campus in Corvallis. Advance registration is required to attend the free lecture online or in-person. 

Where do we start to describe our guest?  How about: Victor Vescovo is the first person to climb Mount Everest, explore the bottom of the ocean, and visit space.   Sonal and Chris sat down with this multiple world-record breaking, bottom of the ocean specialist, who's been as deep and as high on the earth's surface as any other human being. He's also achieved the Explorers Grand Slam and been into Earth orbit on a Blue Origin flight. In this bumper pod he talks about all that and much more - including the company he is involved with hoping to bring animals back from extinction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Half of planet Earth is still completely unexplored...and nobody seems to be paying attention." When Victor Vescovo learned in 2016 that nobody had been to the deepest point of four of the five's oceans, he was flabbergasted...and he was up for the challenge. Victor had earned his pilot's license at only nineteen, and he had spent much of his life pursuing adventure. He was one of the only people in the world to complete the Explorer's Grand Slam, during which he climbed to the highest peak on every continent and skied to both Poles. But he had never been far below the surface - and he quickly became obsessed with the idea. He assembled a world class crew and tasked them with an extremely ambitious mission: Build a deep-sea submersible more durable, safe, and sturdy than anything in existence. Previously, subs had been built to survive one deep-sea dive. But Victor's team needed to figure out a way to replicate it - for at least five dives - if they wanted a shot at breaking this record. And the mission wasn't purely adventure for adventure's sake. The ocean's depths are quickly becoming more and more critical for climate change science, species conservation, and more, and Victor knew that the science to be found under the surface was something that could be life-changing for the entire globe. Riveting, inspiring, and terrifying all at once, Victor's story will take you deeper into the truth about our planet than anybody has ever been.

Rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean are racing against time to find a missing submersible before the oxygen supply runs out for five people who were on a mission to document the wreckage of the Titanic. Despite an international rescue effort, US Coast Guard officials said the search covering 26,000 square kilometres had turned up no signs of the lost sub known as the Titan, but they planned to continue looking. Authorities reported the carbon-fibre vessel overdue Sunday night, setting off the search in waters about 700km south of St John's, Newfoundland. Aboard were a pilot, renowned British adventurer Hamish Harding, two members of a Pakistani business family, and a Titanic expert. The submersible had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it was put to sea at roughly 6am Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission. That means the oxygen supply could run out tomorrow night (NZ time). Titanic tourist submersible missing graphic CBS News journalist David Pogue, who travelled to the Titanic aboard the Titan last year, said the vehicle communicates by text messages that go back and forth to a surface ship and safety pings that are emitted every 15 minutes to indicate that the sub is still working. Both systems stopped about an hour and 45 minutes after the Titan submerged. “Either they lost all power or the ship developed a hull breach and it imploded instantly. Both of those are devastatingly hopeless,” Pogue told CBC yesterday. The submersible had seven backup systems to return to the surface, including sandbags and lead pipes that drop off and an inflatable balloon. One system is designed to work even if everyone aboard is unconscious, Pogue said. The Titan is prepared for a dive into a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean on an expedition to the Titanic on Sunday, June 18, 2023. Photo / AP Experts said the rescuers face steep challenges. Alistair Greig, a professor of marine engineering at University College London, said submersibles typically have a drop weight, which is “a mass they can release in the case of an emergency to bring them up to the surface using buoyancy”. “If there was a power failure and/or communication failure, this might have happened, and the submersible would then be bobbing about on the surface waiting to be found,” Greig said. Another scenario is a leak in the pressure hull, in which case the prognosis is not good, he said. “If it has gone down to the seabed and can't get back up under its own power, options are very limited,” Greig said. “While the submersible might still be intact, if it is beyond the continental shelf, there are very few vessels that can get that deep, and certainly not divers.” Even if they could go that deep, he doubts rescuers could attach to the submersible. By Tuesday morning, 26,000sq km had been searched, the US Coast Guard tweeted. The Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince, which was supporting the Titan, was to continue conducting surface searches with help from a Canadian Boeing P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, the Coast Guard said on Twitter. Two US Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft also conducted overflights. The Canadian military dropped sonar buoys to listen for any possible sounds from the Titan. Concannon, who said he was supposed to be on the dive but could not go, said officials were also working to get a remotely operated vehicle that can dive to a depth of 6km to the site as soon as possible. OceanGate's expeditions to the Titanic wreck site include archaeologists and marine biologists. The company also brings people who pay to come along, known as “mission specialists”. They take turns operating sonar equipment and performing other tasks in the submersible. The Coast Guard said Monday that the Titan carried a pilot and four “mission specialists”. However, OceanGate's website suggests that the fifth person may be a so-called “content expert” who guides the paying customers. Authorities have yet to formally identify those on board, though some names have been confirmed, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who, according to the company, was a member of the crew. Billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding looks out to sea before boarding the submersible Titan for a dive into the Atlantic Ocean on an expedition to the Titanic. Photo / AP Rush told the Associated Press in June 2021 that the Titan's technology was “very cutting edge” and was developed with the help of Nasa and aerospace manufacturers. “This is the only submersible – crewed submersible – that's made of carbon fibre and titanium,” Rush said, calling it the “largest carbon fibre structure that we know of,” with 12cm-thick carbon fibre and 8cm-thick titanium. Harding, who lives in Dubai, was one of the mission specialists, according to Action Aviation, a company where Harding is chairman. Harding is a billionaire adventurer who holds three Guinness world records, including the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel. In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo descended to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench. In June 2022, he went into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, talks about the search for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Photo / AP Also on board were Pakistani nationals Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, according to the family. The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families. Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector. Shahzada Dawood also is on the board of trustees for the California-based Seti Institute that searches for extraterrestrial intelligence. French explorer and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet was also aboard, according to David Gallo, a senior adviser for strategic initiatives and special projects at RMS Titanic. Gallo identified Nargeolet, a friend who has led multiple expeditions to the Titanic, on Tuesday during an interview with CNN. Greg Stone, a longtime ocean scientist based in California and a friend of Rush, called the lost submersible “a fundamentally new submarine design” that showed great promise for future research. Unlike its predecessors, the Titan was not spherical.  “Stockton was a risk taker. He was smart. He had a vision. He wanted to push things forward,” Stone said. The expedition was OceanGate's third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2200 passengers and crew. Since the wreckage's discovery in 1985, it has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria. OceanGate's website said the “mission support fee” for the 2023 expedition was $250,000 a person. Recalling his own trip aboard the Titan, Pogue said the vessel got turned around looking for the Titanic. “There's no GPS underwater, so the surface ship is supposed to guide the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages,” Pogue said in a segment aired on CBS' Sunday Morning. “But on this dive, communications somehow broke down. The sub never found the wreck.” - Ben Finley & Holly Ramer, APSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were thrilled to join famed undersea explorer Victor Vescovo to discuss his Five Deeps expedition; his thoughts on the future of ocean exploration; and more. 

Victor Vescovo is a private equity investor, retired naval officer, undersea explorer, and space tourist. He is the founder, Chief Executive, and Chief Submersible Pilot at Caladan Oceanic, a private marine research organization. As an adventurer, Victor has reached the North and South Poles, climbed the Seven Summits, and visited the deepest points of all the Earth's oceans during the Five Deeps Expedition of 2018-2019. In 2022, Victor flew to space as a space tourist aboard New Shepard—a reusable suborbital launch vehicle developed by Blue Origin—as part of the Blue Origin NS-21 mission, and was afterward regarded by Forbes as the “First to Climb Everest, Visit Ocean's Deepest Depth, and Fly to the Final Frontier.” Victor joins me today to share his experience flying to space onboard New Shepard. He describes what it was like to go beyond Mach 3 and explains why it's important not to focus on the interiors of the rocket capsule upon reaching space. He discusses his childhood dream to become an astronaut and shares his thoughts on finding one's life path. Victor also highlights the value of being a good person and offers advice to young people dreaming of flying to space. “When people ask what's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I have to admit, looking down from space, that it's the curvature of the Earth with the atmosphere. Nothing beats down that experience.” - Victor Vescovo This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: ●     What made Victor want to go to space●     The importance of personal connection and being a good person●     How his sense of space adventure has evolved in his adult years●     The Corn Ranch Launch Site at Van Horn, Texas●     The training and psychological-medical screening involved to become part of the NS-21 mission●     How Blue Origin tries to craft camaraderie and diversity●     The days leading to the flight of New Shepard●     Why Blue Origin was strict on bringing items aboard New Shepard●     Weight, propulsion, gravity, and safety●     The overview effect and how the NS-21 mission impacted Victor's life●     The descent of New Shepard Our Favorite Quotes: ●     “I thought it would be like going really high up on a plane, but no, this was materially different. The Earth was below you, and there was a thin layer of atmosphere that you could see; there's a yellow sun on a black background.

What if you got the chance to dive to the bottom of the ocean? Would you go? And what would you find there? That's today's big question and my returning guest, one of my all-time favorites, is Dr. Dawn Wright, better known the world over as Deep Sea Dawn. Dawn recently became the 27th person ever in history and the first Black person ever to dive into the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of Earth's ocean.Dawn is an elected member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering and the Chief Scientist at Esri, where she works with other scientists to map the ocean floor in 3D. As our oceans heat up and rise, as we try to reduce overfishing, and as our governments and companies race to mine minerals for our all-electric future, there has never been a more monumental and historic, and vitally important project than trying to understand our oceans.A lot has happened, since Dawn and I last spoke. It shouldn't be surprising then, that this conversation not only talked about the wonder of the deep seas and the Earth's crust but also went to some wonderful and unexpectedly emotional places. I'm so thankful to have shared another conversation with Deep Sea Dawn.-----------Have feedback or questions? Tweet us, or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.comNew here?

Guest VICTOR VESCOVO sits down with host Jeremy Lock to "Catch Up." Since his September 2022 episode, "THE EXPLORER," Victor has made a tough decision with his submersible, discovered a WWII ship, and been in to space. Victor also reveals a new passion & investment which will have far reaching impacts on Earth and Humanity.

Victor's bio sounds like a fabrication: he has summitted the seven tallest mountains on earth, and he built his own submersible to dive solo to the bottom of all five oceans. Oh, and he has traveled to space. We talk about why James Cameron has a beef with him, how bumping into the Titanic got him dragged into federal court, and what we possibly need with a genetically reincarnated wooly mammoth that talks like Ray Romano. 

Dr. Alan Jamieson is a Scottish marine biologist, engineer, author, and explorer known for studying life in the furthest depths of the oceans. Through the extensive use of landers—a combination of ship-mounted echo sounders and unmanned camera systems—Alan's research focuses on discovering new species, establishing the true depth ranges of marine animals, and highlighting anthropogenic impacts at full ocean depths. He was the Chief Scientist at Victor Vescovo's Five Deeps Expedition, a project aimed at mapping and exploring the deepest points of the world's five oceans. Today, Alan serves as CEO of Armatus Oceanic, an organization he co-founded in 2019 for R&D in marine tech, expeditions, and science dissemination. Through Armatus, Alan co-hosts the Deep-Sea Podcast with Dr. Thomas Linley. In addition to his work as CEO at Armatus, Alan currently serves as a professor at the University of Australia and is the Founding Director of the Deep-Sea Research Centre. Alan joins me today to discuss how serendipity shaped his life's path toward marine biology and ocean exploration. He explains how he pioneered the design and construction of deep-sea robots and shares his discoveries along the way. He highlights the difference between adventurism, exploration, and science. He also discusses why society needs to democratize access to scientific experience and underscores what it will take to create a meaningful relationship between the general public and the deep sea. “Everything in the deep sea—and most of the planet is deep sea—is driven by what's happening on the surface: photosynthesis, warming, CO2 absorption. Everything has  control on what happens below it.” - Alan Jamieson This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: The young Alan Jamieson: his interests and life as a student What made him study industrial design at university and how it continues to serve him in his career as a marine biologist Alan's work experience after college and his journey to becoming a mechanical technician for the Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen Working on his thesis, Autonomous lander technology for biological research at mid-water, abyssal, and hadal depths What encouraged Alan to go deep into marine science and what persuaded him to pursue a Ph.D. in Zoology The hadal zone, where it is, and how deep its depths are Why it's essential to understand and study the hadal zone How the ocean's trenches are formed The psychological problem of getting people engaged with the deep-sea How culture and metaphors perpetuate biases about deep-sea exploration Alan's role in Victor Vescovo's Five Deeps Expedition Seeing anthropogenic litter at the bottom of the ocean The strangest and most amazing things Alan has seen in the deepest depths of the ocean The difference between adventurism, exploration, and science Why experiencing the deep sea in person matters Science tourism and the value of democratizing science exploration Our Favorite Quotes: “You say you love the top 50 meters of the ocean because that's where you scuba dive and fish, but think the deep sea is none of your concern. It actually should be—most of your planet is deep sea.” - Alan Jamieson “If society's going to develop a relationship with the deep sea on an almost unimaginable scale, it shouldn't be an elitist endeavor where you can only experience it as a scientist.” - Alan Jamieson Related Content: Mountain Climbing, Deep Ocean Diving & The Purpose of Life with Victor Vescovo The Ocean's Deep Regions with Tim MacDonald Connect with Alan Jamieson: Armatus Oceanic Book: The Hadal Zone: Life in the Deepest Oceans The Deep-Sea Podcast Armatus Oceanic on LinkedIn The Deep-Sea Podcast on Twitter Alan Jamieson on Twitter Email: alan.j.jamieson@uwa.edu.au Spaceship Not Required I'm Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

THE ONLY HUMAN EVER to Climb Mt. Everest, Dive to the Deepest parts of the Ocean & Travel to Space, CDR. VICTOR VESCOVO, USN, RET. sits down with host Jeremy Lock to discuss Loving Dogs, The Five Deeps Oceans Adventure, Climbing Mt. Everest, Failure Is a Good Thing, Space Exploration, and Pushing Beyond The Human Condition in "THE EXPLORER"Last Letters Website

Today, we're hearing from an explorer's explorer, Victor Vescovo. His Five Deeps Expedition made him the first person to reach the deepest point of the Atlantic, Southern Ocean, and set a depth record in the Mariana Trench at 35,853 ft. He was the first person to reach the Mollow Deep in the Arctic Ocean, and thus has been to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd deepest points in the ocean.Victor Vescovo Interview from 4/23/22Follow Curiosity Daily on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with  Calli and  Nate  — for free!

On this episode of The Adrenaline Zone, hosts James “Sandy” Winnefeld and Sandra Magnus are joined by Victor Vescovo, Undersea Explorer, Investor, and Former Naval Officer.    Victor has tackled risk in just about every form, putting his life on the line in the military, and risking huge financial losses as a private equity investor. His latest endeavor, and the one he's most excited about, is his journey to the bottom of the ocean.   Time after time, Victor has traveled miles down into the ocean, with just a titanium shell and glass between him and pitch-black ocean depths. Every square inch of water presses against his vessel with thousands of pounds of force, and light is incapable of reaching thousands of meters down below the surface.   Taking on such a hostile environment requires careful planning, and with proper safety procedures in place and a well-engineered submersible, the risk of something going wrong is well mitigated. With good preparation, diving to the bottom of the ocean can be less dangerous than mountain climbing, another passion of Victor's.    Sometimes extreme environments pose more mental risk than physical danger.   Victor Vescovo Victor Vescovo -  LinkedIn Victor Vescovo - Twitter Caladan Oceanic Sandra Magnus Sandra Magnus - Twitter   If you enjoyed this episode of The Adrenaline Zone, hit the subscribe button so you never miss another thrilling conversation, and be sure to leave a review to help get the word out to fellow adrenaline junkies.

Victor Vescovo is the founder of Caladan Oceanic, a company on a mission to advance undersea technology and support scientific expeditions that unveil the mysteries of the oceans, which cover more than 70% of the Earth. Our conversation explores his more than 20 years of service as an Intelligence Officer in the US Navy, his business experience transforming companies with his firm Insight Equity, and his record-breaking expeditions as an exceptional explorer. He understands that fear is a mind-killer and uses it as a source of energy to learn from and overcome obstacles to ultimately become the first human in history to climb all seven of the world's continents highest summits, ski over 100 kilometers to both the North and South Poles, and more recently descend to the deepest points of all the Earth's oceans. Victor leverages his powerful sense of curiosity that was shaped in his youth, his unworldly skillset of persistence molded by years of success in the military, business, and dangerous expeditions, and his relentless drive to surpass human boundaries to ultimately leave a positive impact on humanity.

$21,420 for a 37 year old digital Seiko watch sold at Sotherby's. This is why I love watches, it's the memories and experiences that they share with us that creates its real value. Seiko watches on Amazon U.S. https://amzn.to/3eRjJ20 Nicknamed the “Most Vertical Watch”, it was worn by American Astronaut Kathy Sullivan on two NASA space flights, the first in 1984 when she became the first American woman to conduct a space walk. Also on a second NASA space flight in 1990. 36 years later Sullivan wore the same watch in 2020 when she made history again by descending 7 miles below the surface of the sea with Victor Vescovo aboard his titanium submarine to the deepest part of the Earth's oceans where the former astronaut would become known as the world's most ‘Vertical Woman'.

Last month, New Zealander Rob McCallum became the deepest diving Kiwi ever after achieving a preliminary depth of 10,925 metres (35,843 ft) at the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trump southwest of Guam. To put that distance into perspective, McCallum and his Australian dive partner spared a thought for Sir Ed Hillary when they descended through 8,850 metres [29,035 feet, the equivalent of Everest] and still had another couple of kilometres to go. He's in the Musical Chair.

The discipline he learned as a pilot led adventurer, explorer, investor, and retired military intelligence officer Victor Vescovo to conquer both poles plus the top and bottom of the world.

Life's Tough Media is pleased to announce the latest episode of our “Life's Tough: Explorers are TOUGHER!” podcast series. Hosted by Richard Wiese—explorer extraordinaire and President of The Explorers Club—this episode features Victor Vescovo, an American private equity investor, retired naval officer, avid adventurer, and renowned undersea explorer. Vescovo's storied career as an adventurer began when he was 23 years old and traveling solo to Nairobi to begin a safari in the Serengeti. He couldn't help but stare at Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance, breaking through the clouds. Vescovo's guide saw him staring at this majestic peak and remarked: “You know you can climb that, right?” Since then, Vescovo's life has been a series of one extraordinary adventure after another. Eventually, Vescovo went on to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as other iconic mountains. In 2017, he became the 12th American to complete the “Explorer's Grand Slam”—a challenge that consists of climbing the highest summit on each of the seven continents (the “Seven Summits”) and skiing at least 100 kilometers to the North and South Poles. Vescovo's pursuit of the “Seven Summits,” was not always smooth. The first time he attempted to climb Aconcagua, a mountain in Argentina that features the highest summit in the Western Hemisphere, he nearly lost his life. According to an account of the incident in a Dallas publication, D Magazine, published last year: “He (Vescovo) stepped on a boulder and it gave, sending him cartwheeling backward. Rocks hit his face, chipping his teeth. A 70-pounder struck his spine. He blacked out. When he came to a few seconds later, he couldn't speak. But he could understand what his climbing team was discussing: the possibility of leaving him and returning the next day with help, and whether the incoming cold would kill him. The three didn't think they had the strength to carry him back to camp.” As it turned out, a group of French climbers nearby came over and carried Vescovo to an emergency shelter. He spent a recovery period in Mendoza, Argentina, until he was able to travel back to the U.S. He returned to Aconcagua a few years later and made a successful ascent of the mountain. Deep dives Two years after wrapping up the “Slam,” Vescovo, at age 53, became the first person to have reached the deepest points in all five of the world's major oceans, when he took his submersible, called “Limiting Factor,” down 18,212 feet to the bottom of Molloy Deep in the Arctic Ocean on Aug. 24, 2019. Vescovo began the “Five Deeps Expedition” on Dec. 19, 2018, by visiting the Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 27,480 feet. After that, the intrepid adventurer went to the South Sandwich Trench (24,390 feet) in the Antarctic Ocean on Feb. 3, 2019; the Java Trench (23,596 feet) in the Indian Ocean on April 5, 2019; the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench (35,843 feet)—the deepest known place in the oceans, about 7 miles down—in the Pacific Ocean on April 28, 2019; and then his final destination in the Arctic. In September 2014, four years before Vescovo began the “Five Deeps Expedition,” he emailed the president of Triton Submarines in his quest to build a submersible that could explore the deepest parts of the oceans. Triton's president had already harbored an interest in developing such a vessel and Vescovo assured him that he had the resources to invest in the project. The two met in 2015, and eventually Triton came up with a plan for building a unique submersible, one that could withstand up to 16,000 pounds of air pressure per square inch. The standard pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi. The white titanium sphere, which Vescovo named for a spaceship in a sci-fi book series, was designed for repeated trips to the greatest ocean depths (a first). It has two seats, one for a pilot, one for a scientist, and a viewport by each seat. Vescovo, however, completed his five deep dives as the lone occupant aboard “Limiting Factor.” Vescovo is a managing partner and co-founder of Insight Equity, a private equity firm based in Texas. Earlier, he worked at Bain and Company, in merger integration, and at Lehman Brothers in mergers and acquisitions. He served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence offer, retiring in 2013 as a commander. The Dallas native has an MBA from Harvard Business School. His degree had a concentration in finance and operations, and he graduated as a Baker Scholar (in top 5 percent of class). He also earned a master's from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied defense analysis with an operations research focus. And, he received an undergraduate degree from Stanford University, majoring in economics and political science. Join Richard and Victor for a fascinating conversation on Victor's celebrated adventures and what motivates this ultimate explorer.

As a child Kathy Sullivan always dreamed of adventure, little did she know she would grow up to make history both in the depths of the ocean and in space. Kathy was one of Nasa's class of 1978, the first recruitment drive that brought women into its astronaut ranks. In 1984 she became the first US woman to complete a spacewalk and went on to take part in two more missions, including the 1990 launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. After leaving Nasa in 1993, she went on to serve as chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and later as its administrator. Last year - working with US adventurer Victor Vescovo - she made history once again, this time becoming the first woman to reach the lowest known point in the ocean.

Everest.For more than 20 years, Vescovo served as an office in the U.S. Navy Reserve, retiring in 2014. He served at various times on extended active duty, including Pearl Harbor where he was posted after the 9/11 attacks as a counter-terrorism specialist. In the Private Equity world, he is cofounder and Managing Partner of Private Equity firm Insight Equity, an industrial buyout firm with over $1B AUM, where he focuses on growing and enhancing aerospace and defence firms.What's in this episode?In today's episode Victor chats with Alex about his experiences in mountaineering and undersea exploration and draws on the strong parallels between working in Private Equity and doing expeditions and military operations. What you'll learn Why risk mitigation plays a vital role in both expeditions and Private Equity InvestingWhy hesitating on decision making can kill your businessWhat Victor has drawn from his military background to influence his Private Equity firm todayThe most painful decision Victor has ever had to makeWhat drove Victor to set up his current PE Firm, Insight EquityHow 9/11 changed his lifeWhat makes some a great leader and top performerBreakdown4:40 - Why do some people take on more risk than others, in expeditions and in business?8:45 - The biggest mistakes Victor sees people making in PE10:16 - How Victor's military background influences his decision making today13:00 - Why Victor set up his PE Firm, Insight Equity16:04 - Victor describes what was working in the military was like17:30 - How to make partner in your firm19:57 - Victor's interpretation of what makes a great leader22:34 - The makeup of a top performer25:10 - Victor's likes and dislikes in the Private Equity Industry33:40 - what advice would you give to your 20 year old selfResourceshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/victor-vescovo-4a130775/https://fivedeeps.com/https://www.ted.com/speakers/victor_vescovohttps://www.insightequity.com/Thank you for tuning in!To get the newest Private Equity episodes, you can subscribe on iTunes or Spotify here.Lastly, if you have any feedback on the podcast or want to reach out to Alex with any questions, send an email to alex.rawlings@raw-selection.com

In 2019 Victor Vescovo became the first person to dive in a submersible to the deepest points in all five of the world's oceans. In 2017 he became the 12th person to complete the Explorer's Grand Slam, climbing the highest peak on all seven continents and skiing to the North and South Poles.  He is the managing partner of a private equity firm called Insight Equity and holds degrees from Stanford, MIT, and Harvard Business School.    Some interesting insights from this episode: Doing well in school wasn't about some unfettered ambition but rather, a desire to explore and just be good at something. It's nice to have a plan but plans don't always work out so it's important to give yourself options. When you're young, you should build a really good skill set and from there opportunities will surface. “We should try to live as maximally as we can and make precious use of this time that we're given because it goes quickly.” He never set out to climb all 7 peaks as a goal but rather “just fell into it” by wanting to do things that were interesting. “I don't think we're put on this Earth just to be comfortable. I believe there has to be an element of challenge and suffering to have a complete life.” “Humans have this ability to draw this incredible strength to overcome our bodies and our minds to do extraordinary things.” “You can't let fear control you because fear can lead to panic and panic can lead to disaster.” “Excellence is never stopping to continuing to improve.”

While 12 people have walked on the moon only three have ever been to the bottom of the ocean. That’s the scale of the life-changing challenge that undersea explorer Victor Vescovo had taken on: Successfully diving the five deeps of the world. After the private equity investor and retired naval officer decided to fund this ground breaking project all by himself, Victor and his team had to overcome many technical challenges by trying to achieve something that has never been done before. The result was a brand new form of submarine that can go to the greatest depths and come back in one piece and do it all over again. On this episode Victor talks about the challenges that led up to his mission and the findings after being down deep like new species that has never been discovered before and new accurate maps of the ocean floors.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 58 °F, and yesterday’s beautiful weather continues today. Expect highs in the mid 80s and lots of sunshine. Looking at the extended forecast, we might have a pretty nice week ahead of us.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,284 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 12 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 126 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 34, Henrico: 63, and Richmond: 29). Since this pandemic began, 197 people have died in the Richmond region.More than a week after they began, protests for police and social justice reform continue throughout the region. Saturday night, protestors pulled down the Williams Wickham Statue in Monroe Park. Wickham served in the Confederate Army, and I’m sure there are at least a few things named after him scattered throughout the City that might could use some renaming. Speaking of, folks—including the Jefferson Davis Neighborhood Civic Association—have asked 8th District Councilmember Reva Trammell to submit the ordinance required to rename the City’s portion of Jefferson Davis Highway. No word on the Councilmember’s response. On Sunday, Henrico Supervisor Tyrone Nelson posted a few pics from a huge protest in the Countyand promises to go into detail about potential policy changes today. Also in Henrico, a Hanover County man, using his vehicle as a weapon, drove his truck into a group of people protesting. He got arrested and charged with assault and battery. The man he hit with his car is OK, but his cargo bike was damaged. Justin Mattingly and Sean Gorman at the Richmond Times-Dispatch have details and photographs from the “Mindfulness March for Kids”which took place in the City’s East End also on Sunday. With multiple thousand-person marches happening across the region on multiple days, I’d say folks' energy is still high and the desire for meaningful change pretty intense.The Mayor and Chief of Police should take note of that previous paragraph when reading through this piece in the Virginia Mercury by Ned Oliver. Oliver tried, and mostly failed, to get some more details on what will happen to the police officers who gassed peaceful protestors at the Robert E. Lee monument last weekend. RPD was unwilling to provide the following information: Who ordered the gassing and why, what policies govern the department’s use of chemical irritants, how many officers have been disciplined in connection with the incident, what disciplinary action was taken against them, what was the finding that resulted in that action, and whether any disciplinary actions have been taken following other incidents. First, we should just take away all of RPD’s chemical irritants, then they wouldn’t have to go through all of the work of providing the policies governing their use. Second, the vibe of the RPD spokesperson is not great. This isn’t a sentence I want to read this week: “I don’t think the chief plans to revisit this anytime soon…He has apologized repeatedly.” Part of an apology involves a commitment to right the wrong that necessitated the apology in the first place. The Chief should be “revisiting” this continually and using last weekend and the ongoing protests as a lens to reevaluate his entire department. We’re a week out from the RPD’s decision to gas peaceful protestors and escalate the situation unnecessarily. What’s changed since then?The Cheats Movement has some really excellent photos from the last week or so by Lydia Armstrong. One thing I want to point out: Notice how her photos of the monuments resist centering the statuary. So much of the video and photography I see of of the newly added context to these monuments still focuses on the bronze statues of racist men and their horses.City Council will hold their regularly scheduled meeting today, at 6:00 PM. You can find the agenda here (PDF) and, if you’re interested, tune in to the audio here. The citizen comment period has five out of eight folks signed up to speak about the “resolution regarding monument removal.” That resolution is not yet on the agenda, so the unrelated citizen’s comment period is the only opportunity for folks to publicly get in front of Council and speak about taking down (or, I suppose, leaving up) Confederate monuments. I’m not going to make any assumptions about which side of the issue these folks are on based on their names, but, I will guess that you can expect more folks speaking out—one either side—as we get closer to Council actually voting to get rid of our monuments to White supremacy. RES. 2020-R034, which would have surplussed a bunch of Downtown properties, making them available for private redevelopment, will be amended and considered. I’m not sure how the resolution will be amended, so stay tuned. Of note at their 3:00 PM informal meeting, Council will hear a presentation on the new City website (PDF), and, big news, the URL will change from richmondgov.com to rva.gov! I am and have been irrationally annoyed that the City’s official website is a weird .com while Henrico and Chesterfield both have clean .gov domains. Also, and who knows what the reality will be once implemented, but the presentation claims that the new website will allow “individual departments to edit and manage their own web pages—without submitting a change request to DIT and involving additional parties.” Emphasis theirs! I’m hoping that the new platform will give regular folks (well, regularish) access to better and more current public information. No word on a launch date in the aforelinked PDF, you’ll have to tune in to the informal meeting, I guess!This is pretty neat, Colleen Curran at the RTD says the Virginia Museum of History & Culture will try to acquire part of the Pulse bus burned and destroyed during the first night of protests. Historians are so awesome, and I love that they’re actively trying to find the artifacts that will tell the current moment’s story many, many years from now.Check out this extremely rad map of the graves in the East End Cemetery. For the longest time East End Cemetery, a historic Black cemetery, sat with large parts unmaintained and overgrown. That’s changed over the last couple of years as the Friends of East End, in their words, have restored “Richmond’s historic East End cemetery one plot at a time.” It’s really impressive what the folks involved have done with a lot of their own hard work, a commitment to data collection, and support from some of our region’s institutions and leaders.This morning’s longreadThirty-six Thousand Feet Under the SeaThis piece from The New Yorker has nothing to do has nothing to with current events—just a rich guy trying to build a submarine to go to the deepest point in every ocean for no particular reason. Actually, I dunno, maybe this does tangentially relate to this moment in time.Past twenty-seven thousand feet, the pilot had gone beyond the theoretical limit for any kind of fish. (Their cells collapse at greater depths.) After thirty-five thousand feet, he began releasing a series of weights, to slow his descent. Nearly seven miles of water was pressing on the titanium sphere. If there were any imperfections, it could instantly implode. The submarine touched the silty bottom, and the pilot, a fifty-three-year-old Texan named Victor Vescovo, became the first living creature with blood and bones to reach the deepest point in the Tonga Trench. He was piloting the only submersible that can bring a human to that depth: his own.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Victor Vescovo is famous for traveling the greatest vertical distance possible without leaving earth, having summited Mount Everest and dove to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. In February, his craft, the DSSV Pressure Drop anchored in the Red Sea about 100 Kilometers North of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to commence a series of dives in collaboration with KAUST researchers. We went aboard to hear from Victor and his team about their work and the strangest things they have seen on the ocean floor.

Dr. Glenn Singleman has achieved so many things in his life that one might ask whether his day has more than 24 hours. He is an emergency doctor, a mountaineer, a skydiver, a record-breaking high-altitude BASE jumper and wingsuit pilot, a motivational speaker, a husband, a father and submarine medical doctor who joined both world-famous director James Cameron and businessman and explorer Victor Vescovo on their journeys to the bottom of the ocean. He also goes trail running every morning, is a passionate vegan and has obtained several university degrees covering everything from medicine to film making. But it all started with Glenn overcoming his fears. And he says that everyone can do the same, treating fear as a good friend rather than letting it take over and stop us from doing things we think are otherwise impossible.

Adventurer and retired Navy intel officer Victor Vescovo talks about his undersea missions to the bottom of the five oceans.

Vescovo grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas. He earned a bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science from Stanford University, a master's degree in Defense and Arms Control Studies (Political Science) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Harvard Business School where he was a Baker scholar. In December 2018, he became the first person to reach the deepest point of the Atlantic Ocean, piloting DSV Limiting Factor, a reported US$50 million submarine system (Triton 36000/2) - including its support ship the DSSV Pressure Drop and its three ultra-deep-sea robotic landers - 8,375 m (27,477 ft) below the ocean surface to the base of the Puerto Rico Trench. On February 3, 2019, he became the first person to reach the bottom of the Southern Ocean, in the southern portion of the South Sandwich Trench. As of March 2019, he was continuing to lead the Five Deeps Expedition, whose objective is to thoroughly map and visit the bottom of all five of the world's oceans by the end of September 2019. In April 2019, Vescovo descended nearly 11 km (6.8 mi) to the deepest place in the ocean - the Challenger Deep in Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench. On his first descent, he piloted the DSV Limiting Factor to a depth of 10,928 m (35,853 ft), a world record by 16 m (52 ft). Diving for a second time on May 1 he became the first person to dive the Challenger Deep twice, finding "at least three new species of marine animals" and "some sort of plastic waste." Among the underwater creatures Vescovo encountered was a snailfish at 26,250 feet and a spoon worm at nearly 23,000 feet, which was the deepest level that the species had ever been encountered. On 7 May 2019, Vescovo and Alan Jamieson made the first human-occupied deep submersible dive to the bottom of the Sirena Deep, about 128 miles northeast from Challenger Deep. The time spent there was 176 minutes; among the samples they retrieved was a piece of mantle rock from the western slope of the Mariana Trench. He completed the Five Deeps Expedition on 24 August 2019 when he reached 5,550 m at the bottom of the Molloy Deep in the Arctic ocean. He was the first human to reach this location. In 2019, Victor Vescovo was recognized by Guinness World Records as the person who has covered the greatest vertical distance without leaving Earth's surface. As part of achieving the Explorers Grand Slam (Last Degree), Vescovo climbed Mt. Everest (8,848 metres (29,029 ft)) on 24 May 2010, Earth's highest point. Almost nine years later he dove to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench (−10,924 metres (−35,840 ft)), Earth's lowest point, in the deep submersible Limiting Factor on 29 April 2019, for a total vertical distance of 19,772 metres (64,869 ft). Vescovo completed the Explorers Grand Slam (Last Degree) by climbing the highest peak on each of the seven continents, and skied the Last Degree of Latitude at both the North and South Poles. Uniquely, with the successful completion of his Five Deeps Expedition, Vescovo has also dived the deepest point in each of the five world's oceans.   00000113 00000112 0000472B 0000472B 00179882 00179882 0000802F 00007FD3 00011ED6 00011ED6

While 12 people have walked on the moon only three have ever been to the bottom of the ocean. That's the scale of the life-changing challenge that undersea explorer Victor Vescovo had taken on: Successfully diving the five deeps of the world. After the private equity investor and retired naval officer decided to fund this ground breaking project all by himself, Victor and his team had to overcome many technical challenges by trying to achieve something that has never been done before. The result was a brand new form of submarine that can go to the greatest depths and come back in one piece and do it all over again. On this episode Victor talks about the challenges that led up to his mission and the findings after being down deep like new species that has never been discovered before and new accurate maps of the ocean floors.

Victor Vescovo might not be a name you know. But he is, without a doubt, the single most interesting man in Dallas. He even reminds me of the Dos Equis guy in person. When I started this podcast, he was one of the first people that I wanted to interview, and throughout this episode, you'll see why. When thinking about all things Dallas, sure you have Troy, Roger, Mark, and Jerry... but I have always thought to myself, Victor Vescovo's stories and experiences are some of the most interesting I've ever heard from basically anyone... not just a guy from right here in Dallas, Texas. I think you're going to enjoy this episode, and whenever we construct the Dallas version of Rushmore (maybe in the fake waterfall off of the tollroad), I hope we add Victor to that monument. After you check out this episode, I think you'll agree.

The whistleblower will testify… House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said that he has reached an agreement with the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower to come before the committee and be grilled by lawmakers.  Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us to discuss the latest controversy for the president and what to expect from this story this week. Next, having your flight delayed and canceled is a nightmare, but imagine if that nightmare happened for three days straight.  American Airlines Flight 988 from Peru to Dallas, was plagued by problems leading passengers to be stranded in Peru for days.  Scott McCartney, Middle Seat columnist for the WSJ, tells us how it happened and what you should do in similar circumstances. Finally, a U.S. adventurer recently became the first person to reach the world's deepest spots.  Called the Five Deeps mission, Victor Vescovo, a Texas businessman, traveled solo to the deepest points of five oceans.  The expedition discovered over 40 new species, corrected underwater maps and more.  Josh Dean, contributor to Popular Science joined Victor at one of his missions and tells us his story.

The boys are in full summer mode as Jason gets back from another trip deep into London with Omega and James is on mic from HODINKEE HQ in NYC. From the depths of the five oceans to war museums and maybe even a pub, Jason has plenty to share from Jolly Ole and James soldiers on after his MacBook Pro finally gave up and drew its final breath. For the main topic, Jason and James attempt to dig into the idea of homage watches. The good, the bad, and the ugly – you might be surprised that the boys aren't entirely on the same page when it comes to this hotly contested and entirely divisive topic. Jason and James do their best to capture both sides of the discussion so please let them know in the comments. Do you like homage watches? Would you buy an homage with your own money? Finishing up with a varied set of final notes, James has a new camera case and Jason has an excellent Netflix diving documentary and a NATO-adjacent strap recommendation.

We were delighted to be speaking with Victor Vescovo, Extreme Adventurer as well as the Creator, Sponsor and Sub Pilot of Five Deeps Expedition and Patrick Lahey, Co Founder of Triton Submarines, and responsible for building "Limiting Factor" the worlds first titanium hulled submarine certified to full ocean depth, now finishing the 4th of 5 dives to the deepest part of our oceans, about the discoveries, the experiences and the long term contributions this exploration has contributed for future generations.

Dr. Glenn Singleman has achieved so many things in his life that one might ask whether his day has more than 24 hours. He is an emergency doctor, a mountaineer, a skydiver, a record-breaking high-altitude BASE jumper and wingsuit pilot, a motivational speaker, a husband, a father and submarine medical doctor who joined both world-famous director James Cameron and businessman and explorer Victor Vescovo on their journeys to the bottom of the ocean. He also goes trail running every morning, is a passionate vegan and has obtained several university degrees covering everything from medicine to film making. But it all started with Glenn overcoming his fears. And he says that everyone can do the same, treating fear as a good friend rather than letting it take over and stop us from doing things we think are otherwise impossible.

Vírusy zvyčajne považujeme za našich nepriateľov. Lenže, viete ako to chodí: nepriateľ nášho nepriateľa môže byť aj našim priateľom. A keby vírusy napádali napríklad baktérie, ktoré nás ohrozujú, nuž, prečo ich nevyužiť... Našťastie, práve takáto liečba pomohla mladému dievčaťu, ktoré by inak zomrelo. A keď už sme pri tom: dobre sa nedarí ani takým koalám, ktorým hrozí vyhynutie... a vo voľnej prírode už asi nemajú veľkú nádej na záchranu. Tento týždeň v podcaste Zoom uvidíme, že Mesiac je stále aktívne miesto plné mesiacotrasení, že vírusy dokážu zachraňovať ľudské životy a že koaly majú vážny problém. Krátke správy z vedy Množstvo oxidu uhličitého, ktorý je dnes uložený v našich lesoch, znepokojivo klesá. Naznačuje to nový výskum, ktorý ako o príčine hovorí o otepľujúcej sa planéte: globálne otepľovanie síce zrýchľuje rast stromov, no to podľa vedcov nevedie k dostatočnému ukladaniu uhlíka. Šimpanzy v zajatí sa samé naučili používať nástroje a dokázali pomocou nich vykopať ukrytú potravu. Keď im vedci nenachystali nástroje, šimpanzy si dokonca vyrobili vlastné z okolitej vegetácie. Ľudia znečistili aj najneprístupnejšie miesta na našej planéte, plasty totiž objavili aj na dne Mariánskej priekopy. Keď sa tam teraz ponoril americký výskumník Victor Vescovo, v rekordnej hĺbke 10 927 metrov narazil na plastové vrecko a obaly od sladkostí. Až štvrtina západoantarktického ľadu je dnes nestabilná. Nový výskum pomocou satelitov sledoval zmeny v snehovej a ľadovej pokrývke v celej oblasti a ukázal, že ľadovcový štít je za posledných 25 rokov tenší o viac ako o sto metrov a najrýchlejšie sa mení práve západná Antarktída. Ploštice sa vyvinuli už pred sto miliónmi rokov a svoj svet zdieľali napríklad s tyranosaurami. Nová analýza DNA rôznych druhov ploštíc ukázala, že títo paraziti sú starší ako netopiere. Predpokladalo sa pritom, že práve lietajúce cicavce boli ich úplne prvým hostiteľom.

When extreme explorer Victor Vescovo descended into The Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, he was thrilled to discover some never-before-seen sea creatures. At the same time, however, he was disheartened to discover plastic trash and plastic bags. In today's secular world, there is a lot of intellectual pollution threatening our children's hearts. What are five of the most dangerous philosophies out there today? How do Christian parents push back against the falsehoods? ~Children and Youth Sunday 2019

Victor Vescovo completed the deepest ocean dive in human history when he reached 10,928 meters into the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean. The entire journey took nearly 12 hours — four hours to descend, four hours spent at the bottom, and then about four hours to ascend again. Jennifer Zabasajja speaks with Vescovo on his unprecedented dive and how the experience changed him for good. --- TicToc is a daily news podcast hosted by Jennifer Zabasajja (@jenniferlaurenz) produced at Bloomberg Worldwide HQ in New York City.
