Senator Mark Kelly on Stoicism, Space, and Staying Calm Under Pressure
Descripción
There are some situations where panic is not an option. In today’s episode, Ryan talks with Senator Mark Kelly about what his years as a Navy pilot, test pilot, and NASA astronaut taught him about fear, focus, humility, and staying calm under pressure. They discuss the lessons of spaceflight, the danger of ego in high-stakes moments, Marcus Aurelius’ “view from above,” and what real leadership requires in today’s world. Senator Mark Kelly is the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Before entering public service, he served as a U.S. Navy combat pilot, test pilot, and captain. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1996 and flew four space shuttle missions: STS-108, STS-121, STS-124, and STS-134, commanding the final two. Over the course of his NASA career, he spent more than 54 days in space. After his wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in 2011, Kelly retired from the Navy and NASA later that year. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020 in the special election for the seat once held by Senator John McCain, and was reelected to a full term in 2022. 👉 Follow Senator Mark Kelly on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/senmarkkelly/?hl=en], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@captmarkkelly], YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/SenMarkKelly], Substack [https://senmarkkellyaz.substack.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnUyggNvVPwn-H80MpGUwlIEZ7m5-F9HoY0MBrxAriAb6FwTw3LvOzWyHr0iE_aem_lgpTBY6ehGq3pKU79KwwVg&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3&_src_ref=l.instagram.com], and learn more on his website [https://www.kelly.senate.gov/] 📚 Check out Senator Mark Kelly’s books: Mousetronaut [https://www.amazon.com/Mousetronaut-Based-Partially-Story-Wiseman/dp/1442458240]book series Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope [https://www.amazon.com/Gabby-Story-Courage-Gabrielle-Giffords/dp/1451661061] Enough: Our Fight to Keep America Safe From Gun Violence [https://www.amazon.com/Enough-Fight-Keep-America-Violence/dp/1476750076] 🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE [https://www.dailystoiclive.com/]| Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you [https://www.dailystoiclive.com/]!
