You could say, hey, who are you?

What are you doing out here?

Yeah.

yeah i mean i think there's always the jitters and excitement because we're all human you know and i feel that but the more you train the better you can center your nervous system in high pressure situations whether it's 500 miles an hour in a fighter jet or it's a high stakes interview yeah or you know something that's that's going down around the globe that you're trying to really get the best information from and you can't be frazzled like i noticed those same skills centering your nervous system it applies in so many different places 100

But yeah, now we actually, my girlfriend and I, we just went to the fighter pilot performance lab yesterday.

Oh, yeah.

And we learned how fighter pilots are better directing their nervous system to detect things just like that, to see aircraft sooner, have better reaction time.

And so we did a CrossFit workout, basically.

And in between sets, we would do VR recognition of aircraft.

objects moving towards you, aircraft moving away.

And it's like intertwining human performance into workouts to train for the same stress you're going to experience up in the air and then how you're going to react under pressure of, hey, is that a friendly aircraft or not?

And so being able to do that in real time when the blood's pumping, adrenaline's going, and you have to use discretion, right?

Because if you shoot the wrong aircraft, you could cause an international incident.

Yeah, the stakes are high.

Really high.

Yeah, I think so too.

And that whole centering the nervous system thing, it just applies in so many different... So many.

Right.

Yeah.

But you can definitely tell when the emotion starts to go up, the logic goes down.
