If you’ve dreamed of reaching the stars, being an astronaut, or
living the greatest life possible, no matter what…then do we have
the show for you!
Today we’ll talk with one of the most inspiring people you could
ever meet. His name is Clay Anderson. He’s a record-setting
astronaut and the first and only from Nebraska. He’s also the
best-selling author of one of my all-time favorite books, that my
inner-child, and grown-up adult can’t get enough of: The Ordinary
Spaceman: From Boyhood Dreams to Astronaut.
Today I want to talk with him about faith, and reaching his
dreams. About his faith in himself, about his faith in God, and his
faith in those around him. For you don’t step out of a perfectly
good spacecraft moving at 5 miles per second, hundreds of miles
above the earth, if you have don’t faith…at least in those around
you.
That plus we’ll talk about Batman and Robin, a Quindar (beep)
Sound, being robbed of best costume, Chicken Fried Snake and Donkey
Dick, and how a Zoom and Boom turned into a Whirl and Hurl.
