There is something fundamentally missing from the conversation with regard to human performance and human potential.

A lot of people find themselves wanting to accomplish more, do more, but they hit like a wall.

They don't recognize that there is something that they can tap into.

That's the last 20%.

Life is really an expression of resiliency.

You had this really scary experience where you had to eject from an F-15 during a test exercise. I was a fairly young pilot in the Air Force, I've been flying for a handful of years. And we're 50, 300 feet away from each other. We're seven seconds from impact. I see his jet not move on my canopy, which means you're on a collision course. We collide. It's around 500 miles an

I don't know what's going on. My mind is not with it. Sometimes you only have a split second to

reflect on your life. We need to understand preparation and how we're treating ourselves and how we're

treating our community. That's what helps us in that moment of chaos.

But you still have to deal with it.

And you need to be centered on who you're trying to become.

You can have failures and you can still feel like, oh, I'm growing towards something.

Hi, everybody. I am Emily Capitalupo, Woop Senior Vice President of Research Algorithms

and Data, and today's guest is someone who has operated at the absolute edge of human

and technological performance. Tucker Hamilton is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot,

an F-35 test pilot, and leader in AI-enabled autonomous systems.

He flew combat missions, graduated from the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, ranked in the top 1% of officers in his peer group,

and went on to serve as an experimental test pilot helping shape the future of advanced fighter aircraft and autonomous systems at the

intersection of national defense and artificial intelligence. Tucker and I met in January

in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum. When Tucker was brought on stage,
