Summary

What if the answer isn't to try harder, but to zoom out?

My friend, Shane Kimbrough, returned for another conversation on the podcast. As a retired NASA Astronaut, he has spent more time looking at Earth from space than most of us can imagine. In this conversation, he shares what that perspective taught him about faith, leadership, family, and finding your identity beyond your accomplishments. Together we explore why kindness matters, how to navigate change, and what it looks like to live with a bigger view of the world.

0:51.8

and you weren't because you were commanding the space station.

0:56.5

And she gave me your email address or something or text message or something.

1:01.6

And I sent you a message from there. And then I didn't check my text message, but you answered,
