Our guest for this episode is Jerry Linenger, a USNA graduate, Navy flight surgeon, and NASA astronaut with a life resume that is hard to sum up. Luckily, we had an hour to talk with Jerry about how he navigated his life while keeping his eye on his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.

Jerry is a wealth of knowledge, and his passion and drive is infectious. He puts into perspective living a full life, not just focusing on the next big thing one wants to accomplish. We hope you enjoy our conversation.

Keith was raised in Arizona, where he competed as a wrestler before heading off to the Naval Academy. At USNA, he reached his goal of competing as a college wrestler and worked towards his dream of being a Navy SEAL. His story is full of ups and downs and left us inspired to push our boundaries.

Keith turned into an absolute savage, completing more ultra-endurance events than you can imagine - Moab 240, Iditarod Trail Invitational 350, and rowing across the Atlantic to name a few. You can check them out below.
