In this episode, we launch into one of the greatest near-disasters in space history—Apollo 13—and what it teaches us about high-stakes leadership, trust under pressure, and why mission clarity changes everything.
Professor G is joined by Brian Leahy and Kevin Ovation for a deep dive into how Gene Kranz, Jim Lovell, and the NASA crew led with calm, conviction, and emotional intelligence in the face of chaos. From shutting down the fuel cell to refusing the media circus on her lawn, even Marilyn Lovell had a leadership moment.
And yes, we talk about the guy from Grumman who just wanted to keep his job.
