62. Be the One! - Scott “Kidd” Poteet - Creating opportunity and the power of humility

Be 1 Change 1

This week on the Be 1 Change 1 podcast, Roscoe and CAS are thrilled to have an extraordinary guest, Scott “Kidd” Poteet, who is the Mission Pilot for the highly anticipated SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission. This mission is set to be a groundbreaking endeavor, as Polaris Dawn will spend up to five days in orbit, flying higher than any previous Dragon mission and reaching the highest Earth orbit ever attempted. During their time in space, the crew will undertake an ambitious spacewalk, perform various scientific research experiments, and be the first to test Starlink laser-based communications in the challenging environment of space.

All of that sounds incredibly exciting and groundbreaking, but what is even more fascinating is the story of how Kidd reached this pinnacle of achievement. Join us in this episode as we delve deep into his remarkable journey, exploring how he transitioned from a struggling high school student to becoming an astronaut. We will uncover the various challenges and adversities he faced along the way and learn about the strategies and mindset he adopted to overcome them. Additionally, we will discuss the often-overlooked power of humility and how embracing it can open doors to unexpected opportunities in one’s life.

So sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in this inspirational and insightful episode of the Be 1 Change 1 podcast, where we promise you will leave feeling motivated and empowered.
