Shownotes

This past year has been more or less better than its predecessor. Looking at the silver linings, 2021 opened many doors to people who didn’t know those doors even existed. In that same light, the previous year was when I became a podcast host, allowing me to interview amazing people who do extraordinary things that benefit society and the world. With that in mind, I figured the best way to start this new year is by turning the tables and answering the questions some of my beloved guests asked me.

 

In this episode, I reflect on the past year, what it taught me, and the guests I’ve had excellent opportunities to interview. You’ll hear some questions my guests asked me, with tiny bits and pieces of my life experience as well. I describe why bioengineering should be our technological priority, how arts and crafts affected my development, and why we’re all crew members aboard this spaceship called Earth. You’ll also receive leadership advice pertaining to self-doubt.

Spaceship Not Required

 

I’m Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

 

I’m an explorer, and that doesn’t always have to involve going to some remote or exotic place. It simply requires a commitment to put curiosity into action.

 

In this podcast, you can explore, reflecting on lessons learned from life so far and from my brilliant and ever-inquisitive guests. We explore together in this very moment from right where you are--spaceship not required.
