Wed Nov 12 2025
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with former U.S Senator Martha McSally to discuss her book, Dare To Fly: Simple Lessons in Never Giving Up. Over the course of our 45-minute conversation, Martha shares stories from her remarkable journey — from her childhood and time at the Air Force Academy to making history as the first female A-10 Warthog fighter pilot and the first woman to fly a fighter jet in combat.
A natural change agent from an early age, Martha opens up about the challenges she faced, the lessons learned through adversity, and her passion for empowering others to pursue their purpose with courage and faith. We close the episode exploring her current focus on health, wellness, and personal transformation, which she calls “Martha 3.0.”
After the show, I started reading Martha’s book and couldn’t put it down. A fast read for simple lessons that will teach and inspire you to never give up.
Tune in for an uplifting and deeply motivating conversation about leadership, resilience, and the power of never giving up.
