Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center, episode 81, the next generation of space flight leaders.

I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today. On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, astronauts engineers astronauts young leaders all to let you know

The coolest information about what's going on right here at NASA

So if you're familiar with us you'll know that we bring in these super cool people all the time. A lot of them are considered

experts and have been at NASA for most if not all of their career. But how do you keep

NASA going? And of course you can pass on this knowledge to newbies like me, but who's going to lead them?

It's a different kind of skill set, maybe more about those soft skills and aspiring others,

rather than the technical knowledge, or maybe a little bit of both.

NASA is working with young leaders to develop these skills early with a program called First.

So today we're talking with Mohammed Saibou and Juan Carlos Lopez.

This power duo is very active in the community here at the Johnson Space Center, and are part of

this program first, learning how to be leaders at NASA even earlier in their careers.

So we discuss what this program is all about, some of the challenges of leadership, and how

this program will build successful leaders that will be the ones to put boots on our nearest

celestial neighbors.

So with no further delay, let's jump right ahead to her talk with

Mr's Mohammed Sabu and Mr. Juan Carlos Lopez. Enjoy. T-minus

B minus by second, and county.

Mark.

As long as she goes. Oh, monski mid-lights are correct. We have a podcast.

Mohammed and Juan Carlos, thank you so much for coming on the podcast today.
