Fasten your seatbelts because we’re about to blast off with Morris Vanegas, a man who’s as comfortable designing spacesuits as he is decoding the human brain. This MIT-educated aerospace engineer turned neuroscientist is living proof that the sky is not the limit. From SpaceX to stroke recovery research, Morris has left his mark on both outer space and inner space, picking up a patent and a spot on the Latino 30 under 30 list along the way.

But wait, there’s more! When he’s not revolutionizing brain imaging or teaching the next generation how to make (almost) anything, you might find Morris co-founding retreats, transforming organizations, or simply sipping coffee in the mountains of San Bernardino. He’s a leader who speaks the language of both hemispheres – literally and figuratively – bridging the gap between hard science and human potential. So, whether you’re looking to launch a rocket, rewire your brain, or just figure out how to make that impossible thing, Morris Vanegas is your go-to guy. Get ready for a conversation that’s bound to expand horizons!
