Episode 62: Connecting Exoskeletons with People and Their Stories | Jonas Grau Thomsen
In this epsiode, we are joined by Jonas Grau Thomsen, the CEO of Nordic Bionics. When Jonas was six, he was told that I would only be able to walk for ten more years. This was the beginning of his search for a bionic solution. Now, he is an expert wheelchair user and exoskeleton influencer. His goal is to get exoskeletons out of the lab and into the world. He shares stories as an exoskeleton tester and his passion for connecting individuals who could benefit from exoskeletons with the latest developing technologies.

Our guest in this episode is Jenn Heil, a Canadian freestyle skier, two-time Olympic medalist, and reigning world champion in dual moguls. Jenn is a Guinness World Record Holder, Canadian Order of Sport Recipient, Stanford Graduate School of Business Leadership Award Winner, Founder of a startup focused on improving maternal mental health, and a mother of two boys herself. We talk about Jenn’s experiences and perspectives from these roles and how she has used her learnings and expertise to improve performance for others. Even at eight years old, she had an intensity for chasing challenges and fighting fear and is a clear example of what greatness can stand on the other side of fear. Our conversation inspired us to “choose the impossible” and “take joy in the process.” We hope it inspires you too!

This is Part 3 of our series on human performance supported by the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance! In this episode, we talked with Dr. Satchin Panda, a professor in the Regulatory Biology Laboratory and the Rita and Richard Atkinson Chair at the Salk Institute, as well as the Director of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Salk. Satchin is an expert researcher on circadian rhythms, even authoring a book on the topic called Circadian Code. We discuss everything from why circadian rhythms are important for our health, what we know and don’t know about these rhythms from scientific studies, and how we can experiment with our own systems to optimize our own health and performance.
