Joe Wolfel, CEO and Co-Founder of Terradepth, has made his living being a student of the seas and is on a mission to uncover all we don't know about the largest portion of our planet - The Ocean. Joe talks about his time on the SEAL Teams and how that gave him a strong foundation, especially when running new and complex ventures. Being good and Leading small Teams through the "Suck", is a particularly useful skill when it comes to navigating the uncharted waters of an ocean exploration company. One of the keys lessons he learned from combat was making decisions and being comfortable with the associated risks. Practice and intuition serves as a valuable asset on the battlefield and in the boardroom. Many of the decisions we spend a lot of time on, provide no better outcomes than the ones we trust our gut on. Joe dives into the importance of data, especially when it comes to having a well informed discussion. Much of what we debate (in all subjects) is a circular reference, because we don't have good data to ground our conversations and decisions. The Terradepth Team aims to collect data about one of the most important resources- The Ocean. Over 90% of Earth's inhabitable area is covered by water, but we know little about it. From expansive sub-ocean mountain ranges to wildlife patterns, we don't have a robust data set to make good decisions. Joe and Team believe that democratizing what we know about the ocean will not only help us better understand the planet we live on, but impacts commerce and endeavors that may ultimately take us to Mars...and beyond.
